Is anyone getting sick of this shit? I mean how can the price increase 15 cents in 5 hours? And this is about the third time in a month that it has done so. I was buying it at 1.80 or less throuought the beginning of march and now I can't find it for much less than 2.30. What is the reasoning behind the 28% price increase in such a short period of time? And GW better start kicking some oil company ass, because this is bullshit.

We kicked out Saddam so the solution is simple. Make Iraq the 51st state. We can call it the Gas Station State. Free gas for everyone.

Can we call Maine the free ferry over to the middle east state? Perhaps we can claim the Atlantic Ocean and call it the free time machine ocean as well?

Seriously though, why are gas prices like this? Wouldn't have anything to do with the refinery explosion in Texas a while back, would it?

do you honestly think that anyone is going to seriously crack down on any industry that is so important to our economy? the price of oil worldwide has been rising, its not just an American phenomenon. if we go too hard on the oil companies, theyll cease to be competative, go under, and then we're all screwed. im for supporting more domestic alternatives (alaska, e85, etc...)

To be honest, no. But I do get tired of always hearing, "It is because Bush is in oil that (insert any evil that you can think of). It annoys the shit out of me.

Bush annoys the shit out of me[1]. So we're even.

And for the record, I don't blame "any evil you can think of" on this. But I do blame high oil prices on it.

Dumbfuck conservatives, always thinking W is a saint.

[1]Seriously. I didn't have colitis while Clinton was in office.

In Rolla if a station is so much less than the others, they get a big ass fine.

When did I say that I thought Bush was a saint you silly piece of shit. I am sure that Bush is responsible for high oil prices :roll: . Oh and since he is the antichrist, their is no telling what else he is responsible for. I mean, anything you dipshits think is bad, he is responsible for. Why don't you assholes show some proof that Bush is responsible for gas prices going up.

London, England: $7.03 per gallon
Germany, Norway and Denmark: All over $5 a gallon.
Italy: $4.88 a gallon.
