The folks in Europe …
The folks in Europe have been paying through the nose for gas forever. They are used to it. We should consider ourselves lucky. The oil companies are scamming. But if OPEC cuts oil consumption the prices will rise. !

stuff we dont need …
stuff we dont need like food, and clothes. The price is the result of manipulation. It went up on whispers of peak oil and attacking Iran..then it mysteriously went down during Hurricane Gustav AND the Russian response to the invasion of Ossetia. These were ACTUAL problems. But you still believe it is real. The only reason it continues to decline is that the election is near, and McCain has a chance. You are being lied to. Just like last election.

There is a glut of gas right now there having trouble trying to find places to store it. and demand IS DOWN so what supply and demand theory covers that. I THINK YOU SHOULD PAT $20 FOR A LOAF OF BREAD SINCE YOU WILL WASTE YOUR MONEY ANY WAY

People, Please quit …
People, Please quit ing about your ing gas prices. If you did’nt spend your cash there you would blow it on something else you really did’nt need. Get this through your skull – Gasoline is needed to keep the economy stable, and when it runs short, the price must go up to keep from extra-cirricular waste! Try crcking an economy book, or any book for that matter. Learn about things and how they work :)

ur so right on crooks in gov’t. Phil Gramm brokered the deregulation of mortgage industry to get big lobbyist fees from Swiss owned UBS Bank. He also brokered the illegal enron loophole deal, along with bush, cheney & repub controlled congress in 2000 this allow Big Oils & Speculators to set 50% of prices by artificial speculation & gave Big Oil 800 Bil in record profits. Bush gave 4 tril to big business sending jobs outside country. Lost Jobs, Lost Homes, Prices out of control = depression

motormouth, how can …
motormouth, how can you say 4.50 per gallon is cheap? I guess I should pay attention to your user name and realize you just keep it runnin.
oh..BTW…fuck bush, cheney & the exec administration, the Congress (Senate & House) and the Supreme Court!

You know that’s …
You know that’s right. Try living here in the Un-united States having to hear these whiney s and it will drive you insane after a while. There are things that someone can do about this, and complaining isn’t one of them. The days I am off work and if I need to go to the store, I try to walk. Not to mention it will take pounds off you after a period of time. I am glad I never bought an S.U.V. Stick with the ricers. If you hardly drive them you’ll only have to fuel them every other week.

damn americans are …
americans are such whiney es. europe has been paying about 6 to 7 bucks a gallon for the last 5 or 6 years you dont see them ing, and now it goes up a buck or 2 and we start crying like babies

IDIOTS, lettuce …
IDIOTS, lettuce eating hippie liberals aren’t responsible for the high price of gas.

right now alaskan oil is being shipped to asia.
we don’t have enough refineries and many are in bad condition. this is all because of oil companies to keep gas expensive.
if oil is drilled, don’t expect cheaper prices holes because big oil will sell it to asia.
when bush sounds war alarms, oil prices increase.any potential war will triple gas prices and bush wants us to save a few cents by drilling here?
