You're a retard. Keep your crappy, irrelevant comments on the Politard Board.
Wow, a soccer fan calling someone a retard.
Anxious to debate with you, Moron.
Let's start with this.
Why wouldn't the following lower gas prices?
1. Lift restrictions of Gulf off shore drilling imposed by Obama.
2. Open up ANWAR.
3. Open up pac off shore.
4. Open up Atl off shore.
5. Open up fed reserves on the 48.
What are your alts, Tard? Solar, mass transit railways? Flying on magic carpets?

I'm personally a big advocate of magic flying carpets and if you are not youre a commie.

Another vote for Magic Carpet here.

I know we are, but we should do so on the west coast, east coast and Alaska.

So, you can post something with substance, even if it is in question form? Why did not you not post this earlier, instead of your empty, rhetorical statement that added nothing to the thread?

I never said I disagreed with you, and while I play soccer the only time I watch as a fan is when the US is playing in the World Cup. So, sorry to disappoint, but you will have to get your jollies off on the Politard Board.
I will, however, point out that the things you listed would definitely lower the price of crude, but because crude must be processed into gasoline they will not necessarily lead to lower gas prices. That is the very point of the chart someone posted earlier. Magic carpet rides, on the other hand, would most definitely lower gas prices.

Well then hell, we should shut down all oil rigs and save the environment because the resulting increase in crude prices will not necessarily lead to higher gas prices.

Once again, a rhetorical post without any substance. At first, I was just being overdramatic with the retard comment, but you are steadily proving me correct. Please do yourself a favor and stop posting here.
To the poster inquiring about the relationship of crude to gas prices, crude is used to make plastics and not all crude is easily processed into gas. So, you have a variety of factors that could lead to an increase in gas prices even though crude prices remain relatively constant. A larger capacity for the domestic production of gas through building more refineries or expanding the capacity of existing refineries would eliminate many of the spikes in gas prices. You can drill domestically all day, but if the refinery capacity is not up to par then you still will have spikes in gas prices even where crude prices remain constant. Of course, you have the issue of do you drill first and expand refineries later or expand the refineries first and drill later.

Few people realize that not all oil is equal.

This.
Only roughly 48% of a barrel is refined into gasoline.
