Gas $$$ going up. Thanks OPEC

[Jack Mehoff]

Hey President Bush, I've got one word for you: ALASKA! screw OPEC (Our Pockets <-- Everyone's Cash), we'll get out oil elsewhere, greedy bastards. I'm all for developing alternative energy, but I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for gas while it's getting figured out.

Unrest in Iraq.

[Haiw]

Just wait untill just before the elections for the prices to go down... ;)

[Jack Mehoff]

mashedpotato,

Oh wait, aren't you the same guy who said something about U.S. is stealing Iraq's oil? rofl

[ShotOver]

Yeah, if they were stealing oil we should be payin about 50cents a Ltr now, not 1.00$

You see laddy, because of the unrest in Iraq US can´t steal it.

For the most part, gas (petrol, for you euros) prices are seasonal, and usually start rising this time of year. But add to that the fact that OPEC has limited production to prevent devaluation, and you get an unusually strong spike in prices.

I'm no hippie tree-hugger, but I've heard the horror stories, and I want to see alternative fuel and power sources soon. While demand constantly increases, oil production will peak in around 10-15 years, and after that, the world'll be a scary place if we haven't figured out how to get by without fossil fuels. The pick-up in the production of hybrid and electric cars is a good sign. If only the world could shed the stigma of nuclear power..

Why not just use the car less Jack? :) Gotta keep those muscles in shape... ;)

[Truthsayer]

Have yet to see any company that gives away their goods at the lowest possible price just to be nice.

Why should the OPEC act different?

[UkrainianAmerican]

Baahhh, if not for dem Chinese, we would be getting some oil from Russia. :|

Screw OPEC. Force the automobile industry to produce some reliable electro cars.

I have a slight feeling of that OPEC is stopping the development seriously, it´s
not like it would be in their interest if people would be driving cars driven by batteries.
The development process of electrically powered cars, busses and so forth is slow
as hell now... hm I wonder why. And they are not reliable either, we have electric
busses in my hometown that costed a ****load of money, and the reliability suck

Yeah sure. But ther are a lot better alternative cars then that. Just not reliable enough (supposedly).

You see laddy, if we want to steal their oil we would have put all 150,000 U.S. troops around the oil refinery and protect them instead of keeping the peace in the cities.

[Violet Fashion by Mindy]

Australia sells just as much oil as we import. For some stuffed reason our company's sell the oil on the world stage and force the refinery's to buy it at higher prices.

Morons.
