Angry about gas prices?
476079
There are laws prohibiting antitrust and collusion for gas prices or any other industry.  However, since there are no charges being brought forward, then the general conclusion is that prices aren't being fixed.

I'm sure you already know my position on the futility of a boycott, but here's the link just in case: http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/gasout.asp\n\nOf course, you're still free to boycott the companies.  Do you actually have solid proof (news links, graphs of average gas prices in Tenn with a time series plot, or anything else similar)?  Or is this just a statement phrased like a question?

Actually, gas prices in the US are artificially low.  We pay about 1/2 to 1/3 of Europe's prices.  Prices here fluctuate almost arbirarily, but also in accordance with supply and demand, and, of course, the price of oil.  It's precisely because we're in this war over oil that prices has gone up. War makes production and distribution a pain, to say the least.  Other oil producing nations, like Venzuela and Nigeria have also had political distruptions.

Never!Here in Europe gas is about 5.5 $ per gallon. The problem is not the price of gas. The real issue is having a lifestyle that complies with a sustainable environment. So don't ask yourself about the gas-prices.Ask yourself about how much gas you're use compared to how much gas you should be using

I can't speak for Pat Robertson but now I'm mad. How do they get to spend only 12 cents a gallon for gas and we pay $2.50 per gallon?

Yes, but w/good reason.  Gas prices have never been this high w/no relief in sight.  It seems we are limiting our travel b/c we just can't afford to drive in this country.  I know I'm on a gas budget.  Work-home-work-home, maybe a chill spot on the wknd, but that's it.

My guess is that the price of gas keeps going up because we are still willing to pay it..  even though we should all just buy bicyles.  Second hand ones can't be more than $100.  Probably not that much.  Anyways, we need the gas so we pay high prices for it.  Sort of like food.  We need it, so we pay whatever the supplier says the price should be.  Here's a thought,  how about all of us who b*tch about the price of gas, go get on welfare so we can afford to buy the gas. Hey it might happen.   Just insist that you are mentally unstable.  Which of course, has to be true because society totally sucks.

Yeah, this is pretty pitiful. Unless I'm really in a hurry, I actually like to park a fair distance away from my destination. I quite like walking. It's good exercise.\n\nHere's an idiotic behaviour that I find comparable in terms of defeating its own purpose. My father is, was and always has been notorious for "shopping" for the best gasoline prices. As a kid I can vividly recall him driving for what seemed an eternity, grumbling about the posted gas prices and claiming he could find better. We were talking pennies here, folks! \n\nAs a wee child I was far too timid to suggest that the extra driving distance (to say nothing of wasted time) made whatever "savings" he ultimately made when he filled up the tank completely negligable. As an adult, I don't hesitate to say so. This apple fell very far from the tree -- and then rolled down a hill to get even further away!

I agree with you to a point.  This government isn't that weak to listen to some protesters.  But they are doing something about it.  Other people gripe...and do...NOTHING.  That will really get you nowhere.  What are you doing about gas prices?  I know you're griping, but they you are, filling your tank up once more.  Protesters do something.  They gripe to the right people.  The media love this stuff.  Either that or a rescue story of a stupid dog.  \n\nEven though protesting gets you nowhere, doing nothing gets you some place worse.

Are you people serious? our oil and gasoline is Subsidized by the US government.  While your crying about $3 a gallon for gasoline, Europe is paying upwards of $7 a liter for their petrol.  The government is the only thing keeping you driving the 4X4 and giant SUV, wake up.\n\nEdit: and while your on Yahoo Answers moaning to all of your "friends" about how evil a democracy the US gov't is, they are loosening the restrictions on your car's waste output, and opening the countries fuel supply for personal use so YOU don't have to ride your bike to the mall tomorrow.\n\nEdit2: YES they CAN use the excuse they cannot convert oil->gasoline.  We are currently refining at MAX capacity (when weather systems allow) We havn't made a new refinery since the 70s, and since it take almost 20 YEARS to complete a new refinery, don't hold your breath. (10 years to complete an oil rig)  Also, why the hell would Exon make a new refinery? From a business standpoint, they have NO motivation to do so, they are getting prime price for their product.

In that rant, you made so many mistakes that it is not funny.\n\n1) War on drugs is against illegal drugs.  Legal drugs have always been allowed.  They are made legal when their benefit outweighs the harm.\n2) It is politics.\n3) Gangsters work outside the legal system.  Lawmakers work within it.\n4) Gas prices are soaring due to future-seeking price bidders thinking supply will go down or demand will go up.  Thus, they buy more at a higher price.  We, the consumers, pay for that.\n5) The economy IS strong.  As high as gas prices are, everyone is still buying SUV's.  High, but we can afford it.\n6) News reports curruption.  Of course they do.  If they did not, you would not watch and their ratings would suffer.  Remember this when you watch or read the news:  Sex sells, and if it bleeds, it leads.  That is their motto.

For myself and alot of others it is hurting right at what it is a gallon. Something needs to be done about the rising cost of everything....

Why do you think the gas prices suddenly went sky high?  There is NO shortage....no lines, plenty  of gas....but they get MORE TAXES with higher gas prices.   Government's answer to paying for war.

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.

WRITE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE AND ASK WHY THEY WILL NOT RELEASE OUR OIL RESERVES???? THIS WOULD HELP BRING DOWN THE PRICE OF GAS!!! ALSO ASK WHY WE HAVE NOT BUILT ANY MORE REFINERIES IN DECADES!! THE OIL COMPANIES PURCHASED ONE A FEW YEARS BACK AND SHUT IT DOWN AND REFUSE TO OPEN IT AGAIN!!The soaring profits have already attracted the attention of many members of Congress. On Tuesday, House Speaker Dennis Hastert warned companies that any price gouging is "unacceptable, and any company who does it will be prosecuted." He urged the oil companies to explain to the American public what they are doing to bring down the cost of oil and natural gas. And he urged them to build new refineries and pipelines. THERE HAS BEEN NO NEW OIL REFINERIES BUILT IN THE USA SINCE 1976! WHY HUGE PROFITS AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHIGN ABOUT IT!!!
