GAS (gasoline!)
-
What I find the most amusing is....when it went up a few years ago...it was "Bush" his fault...blamed him. But now..I dont hear people saying it's Obama's fault. Of course not...he's made everything sooo much better. Gas is CHEAPER.

gas prices have always gone up...and stupidly...they rise faster than wages do
-
The price will only go down when people stop buying.

Stop buying and they will make the excuse that they have to RAISE the price because people aren't buying The GAS TAX will go up ...... because the gas tax money is suppose to go to fix the roads - if people aren't buying ...... they have to get the money from somewhere - ah yes from those who do buy .... just scoop up more from them.

Republicans favor oil energy and are not responsible for higher gas prices!...

In 2008 when it hit almost $5.00 a gal. it worked. The recession hit and people stopped buying. The greedy oil companies had to give in. The price tumbled almost $2.00 a gal. in the U.S. Now they're giving us all the excuses, uncertainty over the wars, same old same old. I guess the idea is to get us ready for it. $5.00 a gal. as normal.

When is the craziness going to stop!

Really :
It is only so high because people are buying less. It was lower when fewer people relied on public transportation.

Our taxes here are not mainly for the gas co...the state has put the high tax on the gas.We are broke so yes, why not tax the working stiff. I bet I drove more than 100 miles today to do 3 different jobs onsite. No way could public transportation have been used. They don't care for ladders & stuff like that very much. So I have to drive. Our garbage collectors have even put on a gas charge on my bill.

They (at least over here 'they' do) blame it on the Middle East but weren't things worse years ago (war in Afghanistan and Iraq)? Prices didn't go up that much then. It's very unstable there at the moment but so far it has nothing to do with the oil directly as far as I know. Gas companies and governments are playing dirty games. As usual.

One of the big shot Oil (Gasoline) guy dies and is sitting in a car outside of the Pearly Gates. He sees cars for miles and miles. It looks like they are all parked. A man in a very expensive suit is just walking. Big Shot Oil Guy: What seems to be the problem? I mean ... nobody is moving. Expensive suit: I know. They are all out of gasoline. Big Shot Oil Guy: Well I sell gasoline! I mean I used to sell it. Expensive suit: Between you and I this line isn't going anywhere. Looks like you could be sitting here for an eternity. Too bad you couldn't bring all that gasoline from Earth you could make a fortune up here. Big Shot Oil Guy: (eyes light up) If only .... Expensive suit: [looks around sneaky like] I know a place that has gasoline -- that is .... if you want to go in business with me. Big Shot Oil Guy: I don't know.... [he says with hesitation] Expensive suit: I tell you what .... just look around my place ... if you like it and are interested ... you are in .... if not ... you can come back to this parking lot. The big shot oil guy follows the Expensive suit. They go down the elevator a long long way. He sees cars zipping around. Huge tankers of gasoline. Very very cheap. The Expensive suit shows him an office fully loaded with every perk known to man. A vault of Cash. Expensive suit: [he leans over] You and I could take all this Gasoline to Heaven and charge them 2, 3, 4 or 5 times as much as it costs us here! We can be rich beyond our wildest dreams. And it is not just money - but we can trade and have everything .... while they have nothing!! The Big Shot Oil guy shakes on the deal ..... He will be able to live in Hell and sell gasoline in Heaven for a huge mark up. So he goes to Heaven and sells his gasoline for a high price. And the Angels at the Gates shook their heads. "These people have just paid you for the last time ... you see they are trading their cars in for wings to be among the Angels. Of course you will have all the Gasoline you will ever want for eternity. And that Expensive suit guy is the Devil. He likes to burn the Gasoline and see how high the flames go!" Have a nice Eternity."
