Who do you blame for the high fuel prices?
Posted by admin as Fuel Prices
"Because oil prices today are at least $10 less expensive per barrel than when gasoline prices previously exceeded $3 per gallon, almost all of the price pressure on gasoline can now be attributed to America's continuing — and increasing — inability to supply enough refined gasoline to the marketplace," AAA said in a statement earlier this month.
What do you think?
No one will be blamed except the selfish commercialism that brought us all into poverty.
George Bush!!

Its a fuckin conspiracy. Supply and Demand my asshole. They have enough supply they just bottleneck the data to show inventories are "lower". FUCK BIG OIL, I hope they rot in hell and i get to piss down their throat. Govt. needs to impose restrictions on Big Oil instead of the car manufacturers – make them come out with alternative fuels

Refinery shortage is a real concern, however, the 'anticipated' demand of a booming china and india, the decline of oil finds, a looming summer driving season and the instability of iraq/iran dont help price trending……..

Its a tie between George Bush & gas guzzeling large SUV owners that only use a large SUV for status. I hate seeing so many SUV's being driven all over town with one person in it!!

Us, the consumers. We're in a free market society. We indicate the prices. Basic demand and supply. If we cut back on the gas guzzlers, made reasonable trips, and walked/carpooled, we could easily it prices back down to "the good 'ol days".

Why does no one actually seem to think their responses through? We aren't allowed to drill in the most lucrative places in our own country. OPEC withholds oil from the market to keep prices high. Oil companies haven't been allowed to build new refineries in our own country since the 1970s and they are consistently being used at almost 100% capacity so there is no room for extra supply. America's demand for gasoline consistently goes up every year and the production of gasoline obviously hasn't increased because of not being allowed to build more refineries. Oh, and the government makes more money off of gasoline than the oil companies. Since 1977 the government has gotten twice the profits of the oil companies. So why don't you stop putting the blame on the oil companies for making money (isn't that the purpose of a business anyway) and start complaining about the government hiking up the price of gasoline because THEY are the ones who are greedy. While you're at it, why don't you lobby the government to actually do something about our gasoline and oil shortage by allowing us to actually drill in our own country and build more refineries instead of talking about becoming less dependent on foreign oil and doing nothing about it.

It has been revealed that politicians have been influenecing refineries operating in the continental states to operate at lower capacities than normal and report an inability to increase production thereby driving up the commodity price of refined fuels.
This actitivty is to shift the focus off national policy debacles caused by their interference.and attribute blame to the current administration.

I heard this reported on Hannity and again on Fox News
I blame the consumers only. There are substitutes to driving. That is why the price of gasoline is not included when the government tabulates inflation.
YOU HAVE A SUBSTITUTE TO DRIVING… Its called a bus, your feet, a bicycle. You can move closer to your work, switch jobs, carpool to the grocery store and work, work from home.
This is the USA not the USSR. No one makes you purchase gasoline. You do it on your on.
