Re: Don't pump gas on May 15th ....

I was talking to my mom about it in the car, I didn't say "Don't pump gas on the 15th" I just said "Did you hear about it?" And she said "Yea, I heard about it and I'm going to do it." So.. You got my mom and her boyfriend

I did a conversion, and gas here in alberta, is 108.9 canadian dollars a litre, that's $4.20/Gallon canadian, that's 3.78/ Gallon U.S! And they won't stop rising! I live in Alberta, we are having a HUGE oil boom right now, and the price is like THAT?

After hurricane katrina gas in GA was $3.99 a gallon

After Hurricane Rita hit where 20% of the oil is shipped to, prices started to increase rapidly here.

Oil companies don't set gas prices.

The price of a barrel of crude is purely an economic issue. Supply and demand, taxes, and all sorts of other things factor into it.

That's why the heads of major oil corporations had to go before Congress and explain why when the price of crude oil decreases, the savings aren't passed onto the consumers, right? One quote I think I remember is "The oil corporations reported a record year of profit while consumers noted gas prices nearly doubled."

So, if they're enjoying record profits, why are gas prices still going up?

It all depends if the oil companies are greedy.

@Obs:

I guess you're right. It could go two ways in my opinion. Way 1: My first post in this thread sums it up. Way 2: Lower demand, higher supply and prices drop. It all depends if the oil companies are greedy.

Re: Don't pump gas on May 15th ....

it's just to make a statement....like people don't talk for a day and paint their faces white for people killed by drunk drivers.....some people take a vow or silence for a day to promote gays/bis....people are just trying to make a point it sounds like a great idea.....maybe more than one day like this would scare the companies and lower prices slightly....i just want my parents to stop asking me for cash cause they spend it all on gas

Re: Don't pump gas on May 15th ....

this should have happened a long time ago. gas should have never gotten over $2, but over 3 is insane.
