Anyone with forsight had the smarts to get a fuel-efficient car years ago instead of an SUV that makes no sense. Well deserved payback.

seconded. if you bought a vehicle that only gets 10-15 mpg you're reaping what you sow at this point. mine's around 30 and even that's lower than i'd like. i'm picking up a prius soon as i get the dinero for it.

even a fuel efficient car is still expensive to fill up at these damn prices.

Invade Iran?  They've been wanting a nuclear bomb, I say we give them 4 or 5 via a B-2 stealth bomber.

The price now in the US is fine, we're just used to something even better that rewards knuckleheads for driving Hummers & SUVs that make no sense. A family requiring an SUV should be driving a minivan.

despite what the powerless mouthpioece ahmedinejad(sp?) says, iran condemned north koreas nuclear testing and there is almost no evidence to support the assertation they have a hostile nuclear program ... nonethe less thanks to your david star sporting buddies, you will invade iran and when your pussified soldiers cant topple the government you will most likely use nuclear weapons yourselves

if you bomb iran with nuclear weapons you will deserve it when one of more of your cities meets teh same fate (which is the prediction once the nuclear genie is unleashed) ... my only hope is 1) it teaches you a lesson about human life 2) its far enough away from toronto i am not affected

I don't know that it's such a deliberate thing, the oil market's efficient enough that supply and demand's a fairly accurate determinant of prices. The biggest problem with prices now isn't supply it's refining capacity which requires long-term investment and an administration with the balls to tax the gas price to keep it higher, with the monies going into long-term strategic planning.

BTW the price of gas in Saudi Arabia when i was there was 50 cents/gallon.

we do definitely need more refineries.
