Answer 1

$3.50 in Ohio. Thing is Iraq and Venenzuela have control over the oil situation which we should be reaping the benefits due to america developing the oiling technology in Iraq. I personally think that Alaska's oil fields should be harvested to lower the cost and have people start making trips count.

Answer 2

I suggest you send your question to the White House and ask GWB for the answer.
Tell him reducing the value of USD to fight against the increasing price of oil is not the answer and he needs to change his foriegn strategy.
GWB is decreasing the value of USD so the $70 he is paying for each barrel of oil worth actually less than $70 in 5 years ago. That way he's trying to actually lose a bit less money on oil.
If you don't believe it compare the exchange rate of USD and Euro.
Do you think Euro is getting stronger or USD is getting weaker or maybe both.
Well the answer is USD is getting weaker cause the exchange rates between Euro and other currencies in the world are constant. But the value of USD is dropping everywhere in the world.

Forward your letter to GWB and ask him for explanation.
Ask him why USD value is dropping in the world and why do you have to pay extra task especially on oil to support the war in Iraq.
Actually most of the increase in the gas price is not because of the increase in the oil price.The task on oil is increased to support the war expenses and also American people believe the gas is expensive cause the oil is expensive and the war is to lower the price of gas.

As an American citizen you have the right to ask the elected president why your life is getting tougher and tougher.

Answer 3

Not anytime soon. I believe gas prices are being artificially inflated to put pressure on the American people. This pressure not only keeps us at war but it is meant to rile us up enough to make us use more fuel efficient cars and open up wilderness preserves for oil exploration. Just my personal opinion.

Answer 8

they dropped 14 cents a gallon yesterday here where I live and it's now $3.15 a gal. and I really don't see the prices going down until late fall or early winter depending on the number of tropical storms we have this year and how many oil rigs get damaged.
