Why the fuck is gas so hot damn expensive?

High price = high profit for oil companies

They charge what we are willing to pay and it is only going to get worse. Five bucks a gallon can’t be too far away.

Bush and his goons invested lots of money in it. It is a cartel.

Bush may not invade iran because if he does the price for oil is expected to go up by 40%. Now its already 72.5$US per barrel. If you think its expensive now, wait till next year.

Record profits! Captalism - yeah, baby!

you just totally contradicted the shit out of yourself.

you say bush and his goons invested in oil as part of a cartel, which would imply they benefit greatly from high prices. then you say the reason they wont invade iran is because it would increase the prices further?

I remember, I think it was last summer, there were folks on this board correcting me saying that no way would the price go up to $4.00 a gallon.

$6/gal baby!!!! it's coming!!!1

[Polynikes]

So none of you idiots know the real reason?

[WUchi]

we've peaked in oil production. companies want to maintain the same level of profit. and in summer prices usually go up a little
