Gas Prices
« on: August 11, 2008, 11:20:20 PM »
Does it piss anybody else off that the price of oil is down 22% from the $146 high, but prices here in the USA are still over $4 a gallon?

Think somebody is making a killing here??

You're paying over $4 a gallon? You're getting robbed. Gas here is $3.46 a gallon.

Ya well, almost everything is a ripoff in California.

A house that would cost you $150K will cost $400K here.

But they said last week on the news that it's because of the gas stations greed.... and all the refineries are making 'razor thin' margins.....

bullshit! gas station owners are not getting the profits. Cheveron and Mobile Oil share holders are getting HUGE bucks now. oil is at $114 now. a large drop from only a few weeks ago when it was around 140 i think.

I heard the US military is paying something like 6 bucks a gallon from the Kuwaities for fuel.

Heard anything about this SP?

Unimportant.

Just a little odd I thought. I think I saw it on MNSBC or something. Seems like y'all should be getting FREE gas and everything else over there...
