Simple

Let's end all this up and down. Charge $10.00 a gallon. State gets $2.00 Fed get $3.00. Arabs and Big Oil gets the rest.

There used to be one gas station that did the 2 prices (one for cash, one for credit) however that one closed down a while back. The remaining gas stations just show one price on the billboard and on the gas pumps and I always pay with credit. Now if I SAW a cheaper price with cash, I'd be paying with cash but it seems the price posted on the billboard is the 'credit' price and if you pay cash - you don't get a discount. So they make money either way.

That's a lot of words to use and not have a point at the end.

Gas prices are the highest they have been since last year sometime before the bottom dropped out of the economy. Consumer spending in September went in the shittier, worst in nine months. If the Government had not been pumping money into the economy we would be in one hell of a depression. With gas continuing to go up and the Government money coming to an end economic recovery will be ten years away. I can't believe the oil companies are so willing to jack up prices and cut production when things are so bad.
God save America.

lol all you want. Just because he's gone does not mean a damn thing to me. Oil men in the White House helped manipulators all they could. Just like Bush telling Cox at the SEC to "lay of Wall Street". Same O fucking Same O. You are the dumb ass, not me. You had his back the whole time he was in office, I see no reason for you to get any smarter now. Be all the moron you can be.

Change. Hope. BlahBlahBlah....

All that was supposed to change.

BTW, don't think you are a dumbass, just a little left of me. I tend to not believe in conspiracy theories. I lump "Bush ordered 9/11 right up there with "oil men in the whitehouse" and "the moon landing was faked". It's a free country though so people are allowed to believe what they like.

I didn't vote for Obama and have not mentioned him here. What's Your fucking problem. The game was on when he showed up and I didn't expect he could do a damn thing now that oil price manipulation has gained a life of it's own. Congress has to act to change the loopholes. Learn about American Government and get a grip instead of looking stupid.

Oil men and moon landing in the same sentence, awesome

He could stop it easily. All he has to do is put some pressure on the SEC and Congress to change the loopholes. Fact is prices are down from where they were and he/Congress isn't worried about it right now. Same ol same ol in DC. lol at the looking stupid part.

Oil to $90 or $100

Hurricane heading into the gulf. Big Oil will stop supply and processing. Shut down and head for the hills. They will cause stocks to become lower just before the holiday driving and winter heating season. They will run at 60% production.
