Gas prices have went up alot in the past few days around here and I have heard that there is no sign of them coming down any time soon but that they will go back up. I just wanted to hear what other people thought about this.
I dont understand why we just dont use our own oil instead of using other countrys oil and not depend on other countrys, gas prices could be alot cheaper if we would just use our own oil. I know that some gas companys in the united states dont use and imported oil at all and I always try to go there. Citco is a prime example of that, or Hess and there are several others that dont import oil. I just know that with gas prices reaching 2.60 a gallon around here is pretty high.

The Prince of Saudi Arabia, Prince 'something or other'(please understand I say that with the highest respect) said it best. "I could send you(U.S.A) 1 million more barrells a day and you still couldnt refine it fast enough". And... he's right. An oil refinery hasn't been built in the U.S.A. in over 20yrs. Noone wants an oil refinery in their back yard because they dont want to see it, smell it, hear it, and they cant even consider selling, because they wont get squat with that on the skyline. which is all very understandable. But in the long run, they lose money paying these high prices. So, quit complaining America. I don't like the prices any better. They're $2.60 for 87 octane in the capitol district of NY, USA. But if people don't want another refinery or two, they all should just shut up, because they're only hurting themselves.

The US pays $2.60 per gallon.
The UK pays $1.80 per litre, or $6.81 per gallon.
Please do stop whining about the price of petrol.

I almost started a thread a week or so ago to inquire what people around the world pay for gas...
It's amazing the price disparity between countries or even areas within a country. I knew we were lucky here in the states to pay what we were paying.
I remember an instructor I had 30 years ago telling us that the worlds oil supply would run out in 25 years... while obviously that didn’t happen, it has to eventually, and sooner rather than later as consumption increases around the world. I remember when gasoline was less than 50 cents a gallon… a five fold increase in 40 years… where will it be in another 30 years I wonder?

Originally posted by elohiym chananI'm not worried about anyones fitness - use of oil is, in many cases, unnecessary. It also kills the environment. High prices may be be the only thing that stops people abusing oil powered machines, because god knows they won't stop of their own accord.
It's not a persons fitness you should be worried about but how a government / populace will react to swiftly escalating prices. It could get uglier than their bellies!

You are right JW can do what he likes with oil prices to line his own pockets.
The only watchdog would be if his party wants to be reelected...would the voters who have paid high petrol prices vote for them?
