What makes you so sure there is price gouging going on? You pay less for gas than almost every major industrialized nation in the world, but you complain about the price as you pump gas into your guzzling SUV. Sit back and realize how good you have it, because just about every European out there would love the opportunity to buy gas at 2.50 or even 3.00 a gallon ... they would consider it a bargin, not a price gouge.

Hey! It's not all about the American People it's all about this green stuff they call money. \n\nThey always have some dumb butt lame excuse for raising the prices. \n\nMy joke is this!! OH MY GOSH!! OH MY GOSH!! President Bush let a fart, it may very well put a hole in the ozone layer lets raise the gas prices, it will take more people off of the streets and reduce air pollution. that's how stupid it's getting to be\n\nOkay..now that I am here...Gunther...get me the soap box lil man LOL!!!!! He's a good cat. LOL\n\nYou know this gas price thing is killing our economy. I just watched the news tonight. People are limiting their driving. They are limiting their entertainment and other things so that they can conserve gas so that they can get to work to earn money so that they can keep STUPID BUTT GASOLINE IN THEIR TANKS!! That is going to drive prices up everywhere because people are not shopping as often, they aren't going to other places as often and in order to keep business rolling grocery prices will jump the cost of entertainment will jump\n\nHELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ANYONE OUT THERE??? Holy smokes. The almighty buck is killing the American people. We are being smothered by it. We are being smothered by the greed of the government. \n\nAs far as Bush goes. Don't know . Don't know. I just don't. I think he needs to step in and put a stop to this! It's really getting to be out of hand. I believe that many things are going to happen. The crime rate will go up people are going to start siphoning gas tanks\n\nIt's going to be really really pretty out there. \n\nOkay, I am off the soapbox now. Come here Gunther..put it back where you got it from and come get your treat. LOL!! \n\nOkay, I had to add a stupid corny humorous twist to it ;)

lower gas prices!!!!!!!

What are you talking about?\n\nGas prices are high because the world (specificly the USA) haven't been researching or building an alternative fuel source infrastructure. Our politicians, both Rep & Dems are bought and paid for by the oil companies, the wealthiest lobby there is.\n\nWhat has that got to do with partisan politics? Have you been asleep?

vote... all this middle eastern saber rattling is driving the prices sky high...\n\nhe obviously doesn't have money to invest in "alternative fuel" vehicles... what are you people smoking?

Gas stations are getting rich and taking advantage of the gasoline "shortage".\n\n\nDid you know that in Venezuela gas is only 14 cents per gallon!

Gas station owners...Greed mainly.  We have no competition here so we are at the mercy of the few people that own the gas stations.\n\n$2.37 per gallon today. Cheapest grade

I believe the Bush administration Is the cause for the increase in gas prices. Do you remember when the Vice President had a secret meeting with the oil big wigs? This meeting was so hush-hush the president went to the supreme court to have the minutes sealed. soon after gas prices went through the roof. The Bush started the war in Iran. We had Gulf coast storms. There were a lot of factors but mainly it is greed by the oil companies. Oil companies will site market conditions as the reason for gas prices increasing. What they wont tell you is that they caused those conditions. ask them why did they close oil refineries down in Calif. and not build new ones?

They Have actually gone down 4 cents per gallon in the past few weeks (ref: CNN)

The reason I have a problem with it is because of how quickly the price of gas has gone up. Where I live, it has nearly doubled in the last year. If I only had to worry about driving to work or running errands, or I lived in a city where walking places were an option, then it wouldn't bother me. Unfortunately, I own a small business that is based on driving. I have to fill up everyday. My clients will not pay an increase month after month just because gas prices rise. The increase would've been fine if it were more gradual. However, because I have set-priced contracts with my clients that are binding for one year at a time, I may end up having to close my business.

we were lied to.\n\nWhat is the price of gasoline today?  Who is making record profits from these prices?(not me)\n\nSeems pretty silly to have investigated Clinton's Whitewater losses when you look at Haliburton's gains.....

The bastards are messing with us!  They are simply raising the prices to fatten up their wallets.  Their profits have raised by 30% and they keep changing the reasons for prices going up.  We never get a straight answer.  First its "a pipe broke and needs to be repaired so oil has gone up", then its "everyones using too much gas in their suvs", then its "we're negotiating to lower prices", um, excuse me but doesnt Bush OWN a refinery?

OK - regardless of your politics, I think most of us in the US right now would agree that gas prices are high, have been for awhile, and we're feeling the crunch a bit.  So instead of complaining, why don't WE make some small changes?  \n\nWalk or bike to work/school if you can, or use public transportation.\nTrade your SUV in for a more fuel efficient vehicle\nWeather proof your home in winter AND summer\nMake less trips (go grocery shopping once a week instead of constantly running back for things you've forgotten)\nTake shorter showers (use less hot water)\n\nCut down on gas, and gas prices stop effecting your wallet quite as much.

Used to be $2.21 as I remember. I saw yesterday the gas station near my house was $2.33. The low gas prices arguement was used by the GOP as a campaign tool and now they still lost. So, it is rising again.

Gas will go up for this holiday weekend, more people travel more profits got nothing to do with supply and demand. Oil traded over $72 a barrel today. So get you gas before it goes up tommorow for the weekend.
