Okay so I asked for people’s opinion on my reasoning for why gas is SOO HIGHH. You may not agree with it but how does this violate the rules it’s suspicious don’t you think?
Okay here is the problem.
1. A lot of people have no room to complain they drive really BIG TRUCKS and SUV’S for no reason except to try and impress their neighbor and drive to Wal-Mart for goodies-you should get mad at them.
2. The oil companies may be charging more BUT that does not mean that most the gas problem is caused by them-farmers right now are making a fortune selling wheat does that mean they are price gouging? NO! Oil companies are making record profits becasue there is LESS SUPPLY and MORE DEMAND=more profits now to the reasons it is expensive.
3. Speculators, investors, traders-on Wall-Street play the little commodities game like a fiddle. You can buy FUTURES contracts on oil and they are 1,000 barrels per contract. As you can see Rich people are buying the oil FIRST and then when the demand gets higher i.e. rich people are hording it, they turn around and sell it to you and I later—the poor people. Thank you WAL-STREET.
4. Environmental nuts who think that OIL COMPANIES and oil exploration companies shouldn’t be drilling for oil. These are the crazy tree huggers that you see dangling off bridges; according to them the U.S. economy should shut down, and really we shouldn’t be driving at all, or using electricity, or breathing…or really we shouldn’t even be alive.
5. The falling value of the U.S. dollar caused by Excess money printing to fund the War in IRAQ by the great George Bush whom we should all stand in awe at! What a great job he has done.
6. OPEC only pumps oil to 50% of their capacity. Yes this is true MIND YOU that is still plenty of oil for all of us if they pumped it faster all the Rich people on wal-street would just buy more of it. However if they pumped a little faster YES it would help to a small limited degree but MOST of our oil comes from Canada and the U.S. Anyway–85%.
7. China is using gas-more gas usage=less supply and more demand=price is going up.
8. The government puts a HUGE tax on gas Like about a dollar of what you pay goes right into funding the war and other stuff the government does (crazy politics)!!!
9. Some gas station just like to GOUGE you a bit. While it is true that most the gas stations really ARE NOT making all that much off gas some still overcharge. Be aware however that MOST gas station do not do this they only make like 20 cents a gallon or so i.e. they charge just above the MARKET price that the U.S.A. is getting.
10. Are these enough reasons? Are you at all surprised that it is going up?
What we can do about it you might be asking? Well first you can try to LIMIT the size or your car and fight for bills being passed that regulate large ridiculous monster trucks around town. THIS WOULD REALLY HELP!!! Second you could try to vote for a president like Ron Paul and Hope the elections aren’t rigged. Lastly you could plan your trips out betting and shop at places nearby and NOT drive across town to go to Wal-Mart to save a whole 2 bucks on a bunch of groceries NOTE: people do that . It’s gunna get worse.
So lets review why it’s high in case your wonder later on.
–War In IRAQ and falling U.S. dollar (too much printing)
–Trading and investing on Wall-Street (some RICH GOONS PLAYING THE MARKET LIKE A FIDDLE AND HORDING OIL TO SELL IT TO ME LATER FOR A HIGHER PRICE)
–Environmental CRAZIES (no oil drilling or exploration)
–Big Taxes (The Gov is the biggest business of all time)
–China (They live driving now too)
–OPEC (why pump more when it’s a limited resource and we can charge more later–don’t pump fast)
–Gas Stations being Greedy (Hey Some are)
At anytime you can ponder and review these in your head lol. I hope this helps and good luck.
Peace

This is a rant, not a question.
natural gas is the answer, its clean and plentiful
Here is my opinion in the gas prices: Hope I don’t bore you too much! We have plenty of oil in America! We cant drill for that oil because of the tree hugging democrats in congress wont pass the bill, the president has tried three times. Their reasoning? We have to protect the spotted owl (ie). Just to let you guys know, when I cant buy groceries because most of my money has to be spent on gas to get to work, We will be eating that spotted Owl!
I like it Gongress should be replaced Get rid of all those old Fosils that are living in the PAST
I thought this forum is for asking questions and not to write essays. Anyhow you are absolutely right.
#1, it’s not Yahoo that deletes these questions but rather the trolls. If enough of them don’t like your question they will report it until it gets removed and most of the trolls are children and #2 this is not a question, it’s a rant.
why are so many teenagers driving cars to school instead of the school bus. running to the malls etc. single drivers to the same office
I didn’t know they blocked your question. for one thing. your speaking about our country. America is like family, you’ve heard the old saying ” blood’s thicker than water”? when you put our country down, whether it yours or not, it’s like some
one hurting one of your family members. just like things happen inside your house, then you broad cast it, doesn’t it hurt the head of the house holders name?
