We should be drowning in oil.

All the money we spent "liberating" that country should be repaid with cheap oil.

Gas prices should be below a dollar a gallon.

The ONLY good thing about high gas prices is perhaps people will start figureing out a way to get around without useing it.

Ohh and Hyrdogen isn't the answer if its produced by coal burning power plants or removing it from natural gas.

The hybrid gas/electric vehicle is the future. It just makes sense. Railroads have used this technology for over 50 years.

I posted my firm opinion based on past deceptions & practices by US officials and oil corporations, on who is now in office, past legislation attempts by some of the heads of this administration and on who has headed certain corporations in the past.

Thats all I wanted to know.  I usually lead my posts with IMO if I have no facts to back it up.

Hiya Weazel! Glad you found your way back in!

Ahhh I finaly found something that makes Virginia worth living in, according to what I've seen, we have the cheapest gas prices in the US. I can buy a gallon up at the local gas station for $1.40.

Keep an eye on nanotechnology and hydrogen, they're using it now in labs to produce hydrogen without resorting to fossil fuel for the separation stage (however its done in small scale, experimentally)

it ain't about the gas in your car --- j about everything goes up when oil rises

 Here's s timely piece that sheds a little light on who the benefactors (profiting parties) are. Oil prices continue to go up, the public gets accustomed to it and the rich get even richer - and more powerful.  And Mr Averagejoe Conservative smiles the whole while thinking "the party" and "the government"  really, really, trully! are working for and making plans for his benefit.

Nice to have a car that gets 30+ to the gallon right now.

Diesel is cheaper than gasoline for PUC vehicles (semis, commercial, etc).  For the public, it's heavily taxed so the price usually falls somewhere between 87 and 92 octane fuel (Usually closer to 92).  For PUC it is usually 10-15% less than 87.

My Accord gets good mileage.  Filling it up each week still hurts.

More solid reasoning that Iraq was indeed not a war for oil but simply for ridding the country of all those nasty WMD, cease the human rights abuses and boot a repressive regime.

"In order to understand the magnitude of these profits, it is useful to know that the worldwide profits of the world’s five largest oil companies in 2002 were $35 billion. Our estimate of the “most probable” annual profits in Iraq are $95 billion, three times this sum! Total company profits in Iraq, over time, would be an enormously large sum – ranging from a low of about $600 billion to a high of about $9 trillion."

(neo-con1 to neocon2: "Let's hope no one mentions the causes and reasons the US/UK over threw the gov't of Iran and installed the Sha back in the 1950's!"
 neocon2 to neocon1: or that anyone looks up the "Kissinger plan")

Hmm, I saw this:

Producer country cartel OPEC has reined in output, while Iraqi supplies are still constrained by conflict.
Tight U.S. refining capacity and booming Chinese demand are also keeping prices up. With 60 percent of the world's spare capacity in Saudi Arabia, civil unrest there has fueled the price fire.

I'm getting between 26-30 with my commute car.  What hits the pocket book is doing these week-end fishing trips, which cost between $25-$50 in gas just to go a couple hours travel time.  Ah well, I knew what I was getting into, and I'm enjoying it.  ITs worth the cost to see smiles on the kids faces when they pull in a 2 lb. trout!

$1.22 for farm diesel here.

Of course we don't use it in the truck. That would be illegal.
