I just paid $3.86 for the cheap stuff in LA yesterday. That is 6cents lower than last week, and I thought I was getting a good deal yesterday! YES!!! Gas prices are way too high!

No, the libs love high gas prices, just ask Gore who wanted gas at 5 bucks a gallon so people would drive less or the libs who can't stand the thought of building new refineries or drill for oil in Alaska because a polar bear might get dirty

Yes, yes they are. More to the point, gas taxes are too high in the USA. While it's true that most of Europe has much higher prices, most of Europe also has much better public transportation systems.

the u . s . isn't taking Iraqi oil. That became no longer the reason of the invasion. Heck, if the u . s . needed their oil, it would have only lifted the oil embargo. Iraq may be oil rich, yet getting that oil isn't hassle-free. lots of the fields have been set afire whilst the invasion began, there are few people to be depended on with those wells, and Iraq is a shattered united states. The infrastructure might desire to be stronger heavily earlier oil production on an exceptionally super scale might desire to start. Our oil comes from our very own fields and from Venzuela. Mexico additionally exports oil.

Yes and no. For the US, they are high, but compared to the world, they are not terribly high. The only way to get them to drop is for people to actually change their driving habits permanently instead of participating in a completely worthless one-day "boycott."

heck no! Just do some research on foreign gas prices and sit in awe when you realize most of Europe pays in excess of $5 even $6 per gallon

Not high enough to discourage the ppl driving Hummers, Yukons, F150-4WDs, Escalades and so on. But high enough for the avg working guy.

While they could be a little lower, it sure beats the prices elsewhere around the world!!!
Compared to alot of places, we have it really good here.

They are high on an historical basis, but still much lower than in Europe.

If your company pays for all your gasoline...No. Otherwise- yes!
