Since you invited me, I will opine!I believe that all representatives and congressmen that have served over the past twenty years should be convicted of treason and hung by the neck until dead. This would be for their crimes committed against the united states by creating the energy situation that we are in today.With that being said, we must do a few things to start the ball rolling in the right direction. 1) Repeal all laws restricting drilling in ANWR and off of our coasts.2) Build some refineries. Oil is useless without a way to turn it into fuel.3) Embrace nuclear energy. We made a few bad films about Nuclear that devastated the industry.4) Dump the subsidy and mandate for "food to fuel" programs. Admit it was a bad idea.If we embrace some of these ideas, we may see some relief down the road. If not, we won't.I saw yesterday where the House passed a bill allowing us to sue OPEC. That is simply insanity. If anyone should be sued it should be the idiots in Washington.Ok I'm done. I have to go to work now. ;-)(I need to stop and put $150 worth of gas in my Suburban)Jeff

I don't like high fuel prices !! :M:M:W:WEnd of rant and now lets get back out there and go camping !!Thanks...I feel better now !

And fuel will probably get pricier when Congress passes the CLIMATE CHANGE SECURITY ACT.

One other idea is to repeal the laws that require something like 8 or 9 different gasoline formulations depending on where you live in the U.S.

This from the AP wire a few minutes ago:NEW YORK - Oil prices bolted to a new record above $132 a barrel Wednesday after the government reported that supplies of crude oil and gasoline fell unexpectedly last week. And crude's rise in the futures market again pressured consumers by pulling prices at the pump higher — a gallon of regular gas rose overnight to a new record above $3.80 a gallon. In its weekly inventory report, the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said crude oil inventories fell by more than 5 million barrels. Analysts had expected a modest increase. Gasoline inventories also fell and took the market by surprise.Light, sweet crude for July delivery was up more about $3, rising as high as $132.08 a barrel in late morning trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.At the pump, the average national price of a gallon of regular gas rose 0.7 cent overnight to a record $3.807 a gallon, according to a survey of stations by AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. Prices are 60 cents higher than a year ago, and many forecasters believe they'll hit $4 on a national basis at some point over the next month. Prices are already that high in many parts of the country, and the number of stations charging $4 or more rises each day.Diesel fuel rose 1.9 cents to its own record price of $4.558 a gallon Wednesday. Rising prices of diesel, used to transport most consumer and industrial goods, are sending prices of food and many other goods higher.

Actually the upstream / downstream companies have been divesting themselves from refining. The wells they own are 10% of the worlds oil supply with 90% of it in nationalized hands. Even pure refining companies like Valero (2nd largest refiner period including the majors) sold refineries because the margins (delta between crude and finished product) was far insufficient. Actually the US demand for oil has dropped by 3 million BBLs /Day since 2008. No one makes more cars, more candy or more hot dogs than the market demands. It cost roughly $8 a bbl to break even or 5.25 cents a gallon. If the government demands environmental upgrades that requires more funds. Maybe they will pass the hat next time.

Keep printing money and watch the price of commodities rise. It's kinda interesting that food and fuel are no longer inputs into the consumer price index which tabulates the official inflation data. It's a replay of the 1970s when both labor and management were blamed for higher prices while the guilty parties both government and the Federal Reserve avoid it.

Nope, if you think it is such a great deal, you should get in on it, they are publicly traded companies. You could make a killing if you are right. Put your money where you mouth is.

I can't get ANYTHING based on the ACTUAL profit. And THAT is my point, the ACTUAL profit is HUGE. But, it is given to those running the company, NOT the share holders.

Now, if I knew how to work the commodities market...
