To hell with these gluttonous, goons.
Everyone should stop buying gas for just one day! Hit them where it hurts: the pocket book. They will stop playing games, gas prices will stabilize, and they will no longer make record profits of over 150 million dollars a day! Supply and demand my @.$.$.

I will blame the investors (investment banks) There is no shortage of oil as of yet and the reserves are three times what was previously thought. So the investors control the prices buy buying the commodity and cornering the market. The investment bankers have way too much control over the prices and it only hurts the avg Joes like 98% of us are.

I hope you are right.
I want gasoline to cost $10 per gallon - or more.
Only then will we get off the tit and start using the alternative energy that is ALREADY THRE!
Our GARBAGE can power this nation for our great grandchildren.
Dependance on oil has made us complacent. We need to start inventing things again like we did just half a century ago.

Supply and demand. Are you Sylvia Browne now? Who was to "blame" when they dropped significantly after the turn of the year? I think many, many people are lacking a basic understanding of economics. Watch China and how much its demand is increasing. Read more about the law of supply and demand at the link below.

The oil companies who feel the need to make multi-billion dollar profits while charging us an arm and a leg for gas.

I love reading the opinions of ill-educated boobs with absolutely no grasp of economics!
The only ones to "blame" are speculators in the gasoline futures markets. The reason I put "blame" in quotation marks is that there's NOTHING wrong with doing so! The futures markets are open and transparent. Instead of b*tching, perhaps you people should buy a few contracts and join in the profits.
