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

**JONES** · 05-4-2007, 04:09 PM

Floating around $3 here. glad I dont drive, =p

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

@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.

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.

You want to do something about it? Get your gun and meet me at the Exxon mobile headquarters.

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?

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

chunky_cheese · 05-4-2007, 09:34 PM

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?

kevins_bebe · 05-4-2007, 09:44 PM
