Hell! I thought Pres. Bush was stealing all the oil from the middle east. Where's it at!

Yes, higher and faster the better :thumbsup:

Well, yes and no. Some of us, for no fault of our own, have 80-mile commutes, with fuel-efficient cars, but with no available public transportation or car-pooling opportunities.

Extremely high gas prices will encourage conservation and the development of alternative energy sources, but the effects will take many, many years to be seen.

I know. I have been one of those.

I have to commute across the World's Longest Bridge so that is 50 miles everyday right there.

Oil has been dropping and refineries have stated they will try and increase production (although I believe they're at 93.7% capacity now from an article I read the other day)

Yeah, I know, but it always seemed before that the day after something happened or oil prices went up........gas went up! BUT it also seemed that when oil went down....it took like 2/3 weeks for it to filter down to lower gas prices....oil just went down late last week.....just surprised we saw a drop this quickly! :)

I just got back from the store down divisadero + page street, the attendent was putting up the price for the morning that said 2.99 for regular. Hopefully this is a sign of less cars.

Damn drift3r you live out in the sunset? a big shoutout from lower haight for the sunset and the 415!

actually Australia produces 96% of it's own oil..we have large reserves of it(mainly due to the low demand here due to our small population) if our government had the brains to castrate the oil companies and remove the world pricing on our oil, we could survive for a long while yet..unfortunately this will not happen as profit seems to the key motive for our oil companies..so the australian public will suffer along with the rest of the world....pfft $1.239 per litre WTF???

Selling off Venezuela´s jewels

I think chavez has or is soon dumping that refinery Dave
he has been moving away from us interests as the US corporate state seems
to be more into profiting off his people and killing him then doing honest buisness.

wow -whowouldathunkit?
Be nice if WE could tell the bush to piss off and quit exploiting our people.
I would be envious except for the whole possibly getting killed by cowardly neocons for standing up for yourself and your people.

Wow $5 Billion for a Refinery, that is a Firesale.

That means he will be cutting off the U.S. fro Venezuela Oil for sure.

How long before we make the announcement we must invade and take over Venezuela?
