Attorney General Pushed to Probe Gas Prices Here

Need to save gas without changing motors. I guess I'll start lightening the car. Heavy glass and backseat go first. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

It went up 40 cents a gallon this morning. It is just soooo wrong for a few small Middle Eastern Countries to have so much control over the entire World. I would really like to see the US stand up for a change and flat out tell them NO, we will not pay that much...we will TAKE the oil!!!!

Are you kidding me? No wonder why so many people hate Americans. The price of oil these days has very little to do with OPEC and everything to do with the commodity market combined with the value of the US dollar.

Went to get gas this morning and was going to stop at the local Speedway. I see the regular, 87 octane unleaded gas price at $3.29 a gallon. The place was packed so I figure forget it. I drive a half mile down the road and stop at Sunoco who show regular, 87 octane at $2.99 a gallon. Needless to say I pulled in and filled up at the Sunoco.

I'm sorry, as far as I am concerned Speedway is a DAMN JOKE!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif Their gas prices are no bargain. I think that goes for that Sheetz also.. Sometimes you can get a good gas price at Sheetz but you have to watch... And that Giant Eagle "Get Go" gas is total garbage!! I call it "Get Nowhere." My Father used to run that garbage in his Dodge Ram truck with a 318. I borrowed his truck to tow my car in an enclosed car trailer last summer. That thing was knocking and pinging so bad that the engine knock sensor activiated which triggered the check engine light.. The truck was sluggish also while pulling!! REAL JUNK!!! I didn't originally know that was what he was running until I later called and asked him.. He has since switched gas.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

I have to agree with the other comment posted above, as much as I supported President Bush, the gas prices are rediculous and there is definately a common link there between the two!!

THATS MY .02 cents!! OK, I will jump off my soapbox now!!

Neither do I but saying that you are just going to 'take' another countries commodity not only disrespects a sovereign state but also goes against the capitalist way of life which the world owes a great deal of thanks to the U.S.A. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

BTW - Exxon recently reported a profit of 9.2 billion dollars for the last quarter which is the largest amount of profit recorded by any company anywhere in the world ever! Maybe the high cost of gas lies within the USA.

President was told during a news conference last week that gas was averaging $3.29 nationwide (I think--somewhere in there) and he looked genuinely surprised and a little flummoxed. Granted, elites (Bushes and Kennedys alike) have no idea what the rest of us have to deal with in our daily lives but you would think that the oil guys we elected in 2000 and 2004 would have an idea what is going on in the industry and the daily lives of Americans.

Halliburton is doing well. Oil industry profits are skyrocketing. Dare I say "mission accomplished."

$4 a gallon is going to look GREAT a year from now.

Oh well, out to the garage! The wrenches, rags and cold floor are waiting!

Exactly! I can't wait to see the lush appointments Bush will be getting from some companies when he steps down.
