I'm just glad it only took 6.5 gal to top off.
I blamed 1/3 on gas prices, 1/3 on wallstreet, and 1/3 on fanny/freddie.
when gas prices spiked it really hurt everyone, even those that dont drive, you have to pay for your items at the store, gas prices come down to us. what is going to happen if gas prices really take off.
I think we should be drilling for oil in the united states, alaska, the gulf, and off the Continental shelf. if we drilled and got our own oil we would not have to import any oil
ok here the question, 2 yrs ago when the financial meltdown started,

Yes! And, that would create jobs for Americans, and lower fuel costs mean lower costs for everyday goods. It's a win, win, win, and win some more! Now, couples that with the removal of NAFTA, and we'll be on our way to a recovery. Really shouldn't be that simple, but just those few things would greatly improve the country's financial standings.
pry will only get worse....i just wrote a check for 14,000.00 for some ag diesel for farming today[B)]
What was that, about a 5 gal bucket?[:D]
why cant we get the *'s in washington to listen to us?
Cause they're heads are so far up their * they can't hear us

Great idea.
Now how do we refine it?
We refine sweet crude in America. Sweet crude is imported here from sandy-land.
We (as in America) pull up heavy crude from our land. We send it to China to refine because we have not built a refinery in this country in a forever.
And what about shale? Do we have the facilities to refine that? Nope.
For every solution, there appears a new set of problems....
call both my senators, rubio and nelson.
nelson is one *.

Take all the money obamalamadingdong is gonna throw at some useless BS and put it into refineries. Or, take the money given to automanufacturers for developing electric POS cars and put it toward refineries. Wait, electric cars and useless BS is the same thing.
no refineries, we cant drill for oil anywhere, united states, alaska, gulf. we have huge pockets of natural gas,
we have developed ways to get oil out of shalestone.
we really need someone to take a hard look at what the american people want, not people like al "global warming" Gore to line their own pockets.

It was 3.39 in northern ohio yesterday and i got gas at 3.24 just before all the stations flipped to the 3.39 price and some had it already listed!
On the question of what do we do with it if we were allowed to drill it. The answer is You build new refinerys. With the money we will make on the oil it will pay off the national debt and we will have a HUGE surplus to build refinerys and drill anywhere we want to!. The problem is His royal Blackness does not want us to drill but i guarantee you if we get a good republican or independent in office we will be drilling our own oil BECAUSE it is what the american people want!.

Hate to break it to ya, but anybody who can afford to campaign to be POTUS don't give a rats hairy * what we want. They just care about themselves and their pockets.

why cant we get the *'s in washington to listen to us?
Because THEY want this. Obama wants $6/gal gas, he wants all of us to become completely dependent on the government.
after 3 mile island we have not had another nuc power plant,
no refineries, we cant drill for oil anywhere, united states, alaska, gulf. we have huge pockets of natural gas,
we have developed ways to get oil out of shalestone.
we really need someone to take a hard look at what the american people want, not people like al "global warming" Gore to line their own pockets.
It has been legislated away as an option Brownie. It is too complicated and cost prohibitive to build refineries or Nuclear power plants.
Can we as a nation, now see the pitfalls of not being self-sufficient?
We depend on everyone, for everything. Now we can and will continue to see the issues with being at the mercy of others (or should I say the lack thereof).
Regular unleaded - $3.199 / gallon
Deisel - $3.65 / gallon
This is the ONLY way they can get people to buy into the "Green Energy" bullcrap. As long as gas is reasonable (relative to many) there will be mass buy in of electric cars, or solar energy.
Just reported this morning that one solar company that got stimulus money and touted creating jobs is laying off 17% of its force. Solar and fuel cells are easily 10-15 years away from being capable of being used to full potential.
Lets work on getting it there...but lets drill for our own oil in the meantime.
If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
Up to $3.79. We have some of the Highest prices in the country and Eugene Has the Highest prices in the state. Have not a single clue why.

We can and do refine plenty of heavy crude here, it's not problem in the least, either in terms of capability or capacity.

We have not built a new plant since about 1976, but we have greatly expended many of those we have not closed. Just like vastly fewer farms doesn't mean we produce vastly less food, neither does fewer refining plants mean vastly less capacity.
The last figures I saw said we use around 20 million barrels a day and can refine around 16 million a day. The rest is imported as finished product.
The answer is SIMPLE: If they built more refineries, and drilled HERE, then the PRICE WOULD GO DOWN!!!!!! The refineries we have in Benecia CA (for one) only operate at about 80% capacity, according to a guy I know who works there. Why would they put out more? So the price goes down????
And they would make LESS money!
This is what happens when you have less than 5 companies controlling virtually ALL of the oil and gas in the USA!
It is indeed "all about the benjamins"!!

Did you think the companies and investment folks worked for free?
I'm sure you offer your services for the lowest dollar possible.

I offer my services at a decent price, one that is not screwing me over, and not screwing over my customers. I know the comment isnt directed towards me, but I felt I'd respond. I understand they are in it to make money, but good lord almighty. I'd be happy if gas would be stuck at $2.50 a gallon, and I'm sure they'd make money off it at that price. They just look for excuses to raise the price.
