You are right on they tell us that like we are Dumb shits , there is plenty of oil for the planet, now here is something I recently became Handy capped and have the place card, so it says I can go into any full service gas station , ( I know there are not many around) It says with the placecard you can go to a full service station and pay self serve prices thats a law , but here is the loop hole (thank Arnold sworatsneg for this.but they all have one attended and the law in California says if there is only one employee it does not apply ? how do ya figure? I know there are people worse off than me , but they cant hire someone just for the 2 million Handy capped people ? also a issue that really bothers me is , OK, say the station any station buys a truck load of fuel, at what ever price they pay lets just say $2.90 a gallon OK, now my question is they raise it to the Price they sell it at , OK now how come they can keep raising the price on the fuel that they have already paid for at a certain price? you know what I am saying ? OK he fills his in the ground tanks sell it for $3.49 & 9/10's gallons but five hours late its up 10 more cents cause they say it went up? how can it go up when its already paid for, and not all sold and they have not bought any fuel yet , that my freind is the biggest (stealling from the people in the world), they must make it that he or they can not rase there price till that fuel is sold , are you with me on this , great question take care

The conflict with Iraq has no longer some thing to do with the fee of oil. We pay even with the terrorist international places ask us to pay because we elect a ways more advantageous than we produce. they're guffawing all a thanks to the business company with our money. over the most suitable 30 years we've had politicians that isn't upward thrust up for whats ideal and robust for our us of a. The vote contained in the great interests of their next marketing campaign contribution and the environmentalist move has fairly some money to throw round. The gas expenditures are intense because it extremely is the objective of our authorities, envior"psychological"ists and terrorist oil generating international places. they have bankrupted our us of a and performance no experience of ideal and incorrect about it.

In my opinion, the solution to the gas price issue is demand. If everyone bought their fuel from the lowest prices gas station in town, then every other station would be forced to lower their price to stay in business. If we are willing to pay too much then they will charge too much.

Supply and demand has always determined price in the market. It was THE law, until market manipulation by industry and big business , added with government participation came along.
