Are u kidding me!!!! NOOOOOOO!!! why is this happening?

I think I will be going out to get myself a new pair of walking shoes!!!

Gas prices jumped 16 cents from last night at the Sunoco in Bloomfield. The price jumped twice today. The oil companies are using this as a way to up prices and make a profit.

One reason for the increase is the prediction of the increase. Oil companies hear these predictions, and judge public response, to see how soon they can get away with fulfilling the prophesy. Oil companies make record profits during oil-related events – not just record revenue, but record profits. That means, boys and girls, that they are taking advantage of these events to charge more than the increase in their own cost, to line their own pockets with profit. It’s the only industry that actually benefits from an increase in its own costs.

Gas Prices = Joke

I guess this is still President Bush’s fault? Remember when prices went up the last time all of the liberals blamed Bush and Cheney. Now who is at fault?

Didn’t Obama make a campaign promise to hold oil companies accountable when he was running for the presidency. He probably won’t do anything though.

Groceries and everything is going up.. When they raise the prices of everythin they need to give us a raise at work also!

Yah they keep giving and giving to the lazy welfare bums who live better then we do..collect from welfare but do their drug deals and drive bmws or Mercedes.. It’s pathetic when u go into a grocery store and these bums eat better then we do

thieves

Greed Greed and more Greed…. that is why this is happening…. Mostly on Wall Street where the SPECULATION of the Commodities market sets the prices.

To ZOEYzotron and others….Did it ever occur to you that this “deficit” was caused by the previous administration??? Or does everyone forget that?? I am not pro Obama but I am certainly not pro Bush administration. They are the ones that caused all of this mess and now everyone wants to blame Obama because he isn’t Super Pres and solved all the problems they caused in his short time in office!

Oh and if you knew what was really going on…You would know that the reason for the spike in price is due to so much civil unrest in the middle east!

In my opinion these high gasoline prices will fuel inflation. The question is how much inflation will it create. We can only hope that our business leaders and government will not let this nation slip deeper into recession.

We can all complain but what does it accomplish? That’s right, NOTHING! We all have to ‘feed’ our vehicles to go to work, the store, wherever. Consumers only have their purchasing power to send a message to any company and we all know that won’t happen with our consumption of fuel. I hear the oil company executives like a little whine with their caviar so go right ahead!

[...] is going to break $4.00 a gallon this year (and possibly by Memorial Day — to see more on this click here) and they are also good that it’s not going to go down from there . . . If your memory is [...]

I just read another report that un-employment dropped to 8.9%. But I believe that will be short lived. As if I remember correctly the last time gas prices spiked to $4.00 a gallon it triggered an even bigger crash in the economy?

Myself, I am a field service technician, and when the gas prices spike it really hurts and cripples the service industry. Causing prices to increase to off set the costs.

We all should boycott the oil companies again so that they have an abundance of gas and then they will have to bring the prices down! It wprk once and it can work again!!!!!!!!!!!!! I say, ‘LET’S DO IT!”

I get my gasoline for $1 a gallon.

I’ve gotten rid of my cellphone, premium cable channels and my neighbor and I split internet expenses using WiFi, I spend $180 on gas monthly, and save $120 on Verizon expenses. 60 gallons = $60.

Not too shabby – sorry verizon, you lose.

United States faces fuel crisis

By Scott Bowles, USA TODAY

Fuel consumption facts
Faced with a natural gas shortage, soaring oil prices and unprecedented demands for electricity, Americans are bracing for the worst energy crunch in a quarter of a century.

It should hit, economists say, about the dead of winter, when temperatures and resources drop and the need for heat reaches its peak.

President Clinton ordered the release of 30 million barrels of oil Friday from the government’s emergency reserve in an effort to replenish the nationwide shortage of oil and reduce prices.

It is the first time the government’s emergency reserve has been used since former President Bush ordered oil tapped from the reserve during the Gulf
