If that happens we need to hunt down the price gouging motherfvckers at the big 5 oil producers in the US and kick in their greedy skulls.

If you don't like capitalism, get your commie ass over to North Korea.
Ahhh how cute.

at that point we have a shortage, so price goes up

Demand shot went up right after the hurricane, due to a frenzy from the media telling people that supply was going to drop.

High demand due to future expectations = the main reason why gas prices shot up.

refineries markup in %. they're making the same % they always were.

right now most profits are made on drilling. a well that was open 3 years ago at $30 a barrel was profitable then, imagine how profitable it is now at double that.

It's over $3/gal in NH (or was last I asked someone)..I'm supposed to move there next week - I hope gas isn't much more expensive..three cars over 1400 miles.. :(

Someone really needs to give the big oil companies an ass kicking.

the communists need to. the communists need to revolt and nationalize the oil companies so that we can pay $0.55 per gallon for gas

go find some communists to help you and get started TODAY!
