Gas Prices

Funny bit! Enjoy!

ann h asked:


Do you ever wonder how the cook at Mcdonalds, or the clerk at Walgreens are even able to get to work everyday with gas prices being so exhorbitant ? Why are gas prices over a dollar more than they were a year ago? Who do you think is the main culprit behind these exhorbitant prices? Opec, the Oil Companies, the Bush adminstration?

Dfwteddybear asked:


I think its time to take gas prices out of the speculative markets and make it managed through government control. Even though I **** government control! We need this because with our current dependence on oil, its become as necessary as a utility, just like electricity. Also, we need much more funding on alternative fuel research, subsidies so lower income folk can buy cars like the Prius.

Gas prices are at an all time high, pillaging our wallets for car fuel.

snitzelgrooven asked:


Bush wanted to go into Alaska for oil and they found a huge oil reserve off the gulf of mexico. Are we running out of oil or do you think after Bush leaves office the price of oil will drop? Or do you think oil and the president have nothing in relation to how gas prices are today? I know Iraq has a good deal to do with it but I wonder once he leaves office prices will drop?

AntonBatey asked:

Why are gas prices so high? Inflation, falling dollar, supply and demand, greedy oil CEOs, government interventionism? What is the Windfall Profits Tax that Sen. Clinton and Obama want to implement? Is it a good or bad idea?

The Big Aristotle asked:


I realize that we have our hands tied somewhat, since most people need gas in order to drive to work, store, etc, but there must be SOMETHING people can do to put pressure on the states to cap oil prices. By continuing to buy at these hiked prices, we’re sending the message that we’re ok with paying these prices…..but we’re not! What do you suppose should be done? I was thinking we could start riots at all our local gas stations…but i dont know if that would work

Allen J asked:


I was recently told by a gas station owner that gas prices are going to steadily climb. He said that everyone is ignorantly allowing the wealthy oil companies the advantage to keep raising the price, by continuing to pay what ever they choose to charge. It is about supply and demand, right? If we do not drive more than absolutly necessary, car pool when possable, and make a few sacrifices on our pleasure trips, that would cut the demand. Would you make these sacrifices? Do you think it would lower the prices?

I’ve been doing a bit of research on NZ, and was wondering what the average gas prices are.
Thanks.

Sarah asked:


The U.S. is not the only country where gas prices are going up, it’s the same situation in Canada, the UK and most of Europe, but what are the reasons for it?

I know this question has been asked many times and I’ve searched for the answers, but I always find a conspiracy theory or answers that blame Bush and the war in Iraq. Without giving me a link to a you tube conspiracy theory video or simply blaming Bush, can someone please explain to me why gas prices are going up almost every day in most developed countries?
