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.

Can someone restate the factors assumed to be behind this push to the $4 level again?

The moderator has asked that we no longer continue with this sort of thing. Hopefully the tree huggers will start complying with his recommendations and stop posting all of this type of material.

Gasoline continues to rise. Looks like the new price is $3.85, up from $3.79. At this rate by March the price will be $4.00. This is gonna slam the so-called recovery.

Arrived Phoenix area 12/20. One station was $2.63. Local Shell now over 3.70. Diesel up about a dime. The air police have different blends for different adjacent counties in some areas. Gee, wonder if that has a price tag.

National Avg tonight for gas 3.73 Up 43 cents from last month. Which excuse do you go with?
1 Some refineries going from winter blend to summer blend, and its still winter.
2. Hess refinery in N.J supplies 7.4 % of product now closing for good.
3. Mid winter refinery operations closed for maintenance
4. More jobs are surfacing requiring more travel.

Wise planning by oil companies to shut refineries down creates the problem of less gas to produce and prices to soar. Greed overtakes sensible customer services. Many of us cannot afford new cars, to fight this yet. And those prices on cars are high too.

Just one key off. :(
I hope to see $2.69 again but I know there is the push towards $5.

The push to put a 'road tax' on electric cars will not make DC happy. I think more people would be fine with electric cars but they are not net green as gas or diesel. By getting China batteries at least the production pollution is not in our back yard.

I see you tow it on a trailer. Will the newer ones tow 4 wheels down?
