They are a product of greed of investors. They are overbuying supplies of crude oil and selling it at inflated prices. There is no oil shortage, but there is a shortage of oil refineries, which is a product of oil companies buying smaller refineries and shutting them down, and the government putting up too much red tape to allow new ones to be built. Either way, nobody in the industry is going to complain because they are raking in tons of money.

I think it is a bunch of BS and they shouldn't raise the BEEPING prices just because the temperature is hot or cold outside. I don't know why the USA has nuclear weapons and don't use them. They would take care of problems in the Arab countries real quick instead wasting years over there. Plus, they could be sucking the oil out in Alaska if the stupid democrats would shut up. They could catch every wild animal in Alaska and move them to another area, so that they wouldn't die. They could run vehicles on clean coal or plenty of other stuff. If you have a diesel you can go to McDonalds and they'll give you the fry grease to run your vehicle for free. Foreign people are not screwing this country, it's the democrats and ACLU that screwing this country over.

They are what they are, that's 1980 prices adjusted for inflation.
Why isn't anybody crying about the price of Coffee, cigarettes, beer,Bottled water cable TV Internet Food shelter ALL of which have blown by the real cost of gas. Of course i think it is entertaining what all the pent up grief people are laying on the oil companies and such. Bye...

I think they wouldn't be so high if we didn't have a greedy, selfish, idiotic president in office! Good enough?
I think the weapons of mass destruction was another way of saying that if bush and daddy bush don't control their oil companies, they are going to be broke and that would cause mass destruction in his bank account!
Don't get me wrong, I think that Saddam and Osama needed to be taken care of, but come on! Let the diplomats handle it and get our troops out of there!!!

Because these oil company bastards and our jackass president wants to stuff his pockets as much as he can before his term is up. Our economy is going down the tubes. And no matter how hard we try we cant do a damn thing about it.
