Gas prices for high test is $4 to $5 per gallon

It's a fact that we refine oil & make it into gasoline. It's a fact that we refine our oil & Canada's oil & sell it all over the world to the highest bidders. Since it's mined/drilled in the U.S.A & or off our shores, & it is refined in the U.S.A, we have 100% the right to tax it. Tax it high if they want to export it out of our country. If the oil companies lose money exporting our & Canada's oil/gasoline, then they'll find happyness selling it here in our country. We will have much, much more gasoline availible, & just like natural gas, the high sypplies will drop the gasoline price substantialy. Not long ago the oil companies were the big bad oil companies. What happened? What changed? What's wrong with my idea?

What's wrong with $2.00 gasoline? It was under $2 just 3&1/2 years ago.

The U.S. contains ~ 2% of the worlds oil and consumes ~ 20%. The solution isn't drill, drill, drill.. Its much more complex. Drill baby drill is nothing but a bumper sticker.

Why not, it was Bush's fault a couple years ago when gas prices spiked wasn't it? Or is it still his fault, like every other one of obama's problems?

Thank you.
Bush went into Afghanistan because the people resposible were there. Obama tripled our troops because ???? He said it was the right war?????
We lost much more people in the last 3 years than in the 8 Bush years. Googled it!

Who gets the credit, or should I say the blame for our dead soldiers & the billions spent?????

My point is why shouldn't we blame our leader(s) ?????

I was thinking of buying a Yaris or something like that as my DD on days that are rainy because people around here lose their minds when it rains just a bit. Also if I dont get to work early enough and dont get my usual corner spot its door ding city in our company lot... That Yaris is looking really good now

It is relatively simple to hedge the price of gasoline if you really think it is going to go up. There are dozens of stocks and ETFs that track the price of gasoline fairly well.

I once thought of building a basic hedging strategy for the average american so that anyone could do this. What I found is that, as much as we complain about it, for the average American gas is dirt cheap. Even at 4 or 5 bucks a gallon, we just don't spend that much to make the hedging effort even worth it.

Just unplug the whole god damn world and that will solve a lot of problems. It would Slow down pollution, the growing population, and depletion of natural resources. Intact without the unnatural means to aid in food production and distribution populations with even start to Shrink. Game populations will rebound once natural environments reclaim abandoned cities. Humans can go back to leaving as hunter/gathers. And we can all stop worrying about what one group of people do to another group half way around the world.

Good point.
Since 1800 world population went from 1 billion to 7 billion. In the next 100 years, growth will go above 50 billion +++. All the green, oil & nuclear energy won't make a dent....

Depending on how it is built, there are batteries that are renewable. You are right there are going to be some waste regardless, but it is no different than the production of oil.

The life of hybrid car batteries are way longer than what people perceive. Why do you think most hybrid batteries carry a 6-8 years warranty? I believe Hyundai's latest hybrid battery retain 90% of its original power even after 150K, the same goes to Toyota.
