well, them dang liberals are still at it cause America won't wake up and get conservative! it's been 2 yrs and still no relief at the pump due to liberal agendas! dang, wake up America! we're down in the toilet even lower than we were when this thread started!!!!!!!!!aaaarrrrgggghhhh!.

 

Just for comparison sake.

 

in the famous words of that one budweiser commercial.....true...true.

 

that just shows how expensive the liberal green agenda is. over time it adds up, incrementally. but now with a pic like that....BAM,,,,,in your face reality. yeah, i'm conservative...mostly.

 

It's not the oil companies....

 

Gas companies make approximately 10-12 cents per gallon. If they sell more gallons of fuel they make more money. What really drives up the cost of gas is simply speculation which is how fuel commodities are purchased. What will the market and supply be in 6 months from now. If the buyers/sellers think demand will be high and supply low the prices go up.

 

oil is a commodity like lobster, shrimp, and fresh fish on the bay. go price that as opposed to a restaurant. And another thing, why bash big oil? i mean walmart and pharmaceuticals make more than big oil...even the bottled water companies make more than "big oil". yeah, go figure that! people who buy bottled water from a convenience store or wherever give an average of $10 PER GALLON..and those are the same folks griping about $3 gas. wow, such hypocrisy. BUT, folks don't buy that water at 30-40 gallons a pop either whereas fuel, we do. but a lot of work can get done out of 1 gallon of fuel. think about it.

 

don't get me wrong, i hate the $3 gas and the $4 diesel. that's killing my pocketbook. but, i just wanted folks to think about other things they give more money for other than fuel.

 

If you google "things more expensive than gasoline" right away you come up with 9-19 different things varying by site. Gallons of stuff that cost more than gasoline

 

Yes, but your car won't run too well on water.
