we just hoard it in the "reserves". probably so when there is no more oil and the rest of the world has moved on to some other form of clean energy, we can stick with oil for another 100 years to line some pockets.

We are already at refining capacity. Yes, the price increase will increase profits, but the real money will be made when the crude export ban is lifted. I just spend the last week reviewing marketing studies that predict a decrease in US gasoline prices if the ban is lifted. Very interesting economic studies.

Boy that pipeline from Canada would have done wonders, coupled with drilling the abundance of natural resources in this country to become oil independent. Oh well, at least the US is doing their part to lower the thermostat on the earth and the miniature frog colored swill fish will not be harmed.

Surely you don't deny that gasoline was about $1.80 when Obama was inaugurated and is about $3.60 now, do you?

How silly of me to forget the caribou. Paying 200 to fill your vehicle is a small price to pay to lower the global impact of oil/satan juice.

I'm not really worried about, we'll just organize a "nobody buy gas day" on facebook and the price will come crashing down
