People are FIGHTING BACK by not buying and truly watching their usage.

Why do you think it went up recently?
Coz people are NOT driving as much and the gas/oil companies need to keep their profits up.

They WILL push back and continue to raise gas prices artificially.

I refuse to buy fuel if I don't need it. I limit my travel and do more at home now too.

SCREW THEM !!

We have the money,,, we ARE the ultimate comsumer,

Everybody was shorting the dollar. Now that the dollar has rebounded (a little) people who expected it to fail are panicking...makes perfect sense.

There is current flooding in areas of the US that have refineries. So, that could be the reason why gas prices are rising - that is where the Gas comes from. So, that would make sense.

Here's the data:

According to my sales and marketing executive at Antigravity Universal, we have sold 70 million cars in America.

We have 90 million Amercans.

77.77%=70/90

77% of all Americans have our cars, which don't need gasoline.

So you shouold be able to figure out the reason for the increase of gasoline and oil stocks.

Our cars don't need gasoline.

I predict the cost of gasoline will go down a little further.

But who cares!!! Get yourself one of our antigravity cars, they don't need gasoline.

Our factory store is located at 2 West Street in Washington, DC. You can also find our AU cars and titanum free power motorcycles at most major cities.

Love, peace, Light
Ya Haveh

Well, I'm guess that this means that gas-prices have never ever changed much then, cuz the dollar is always changing. The price is indeed changing for customers because if their income does not rise due to the depressed dollar, whilst gasoline prices increasing, then yes, the gas prices are indeed rising then.

This has always been the case because the delivery of the oil is a month after the price-change, and then you have the processing into gasoline, so this all takes time to filter on through the pipe-lines, no pun intended.

Yes, we had a ten percent increase at the pumps after a ten perecent dump in bbl price and now with todays dump we have a 30% price disparity. And you figure at 150/barrel we had 128/liter prices and now that we are 1/3 under that price, plus the can. dollar is up 38% from when we had those prices. I'm left puzzled. It must be the new math.

Who here really thinks that gas will go down back to any normal type of price…say under $3.00? It won’t happen with the exception, once the Presidential election gets closer, the President will force prices down, then say look, I was able to get this done for you, win votes and help with the reelection. Just look at past election campaigns, happens every time.

If you don’t want to pay for high gas prices, then do just that, don’t pay. Ride a bike, walk, carpool, something. We all complain about it, but sit back and do nothing about it. Out of the thousand who read this post, 99% will do absolutely nothing about it except complain.

So, let’s do that, nothing. Have TPTB keep raising prices, effecting the economy in total, until it finally collapses. Or we could write our Congressman, oh they are the same ones getting the kickbacks for big oil. Hmmm, who else could we write too? Uh, no one. Then what can we do? Stop driving and buying fuel…that is about the sum of it. Or you could have fuel shipped to you from a third world country, say Iraq or Brazil, where gas cost about 60 cents.

Lawmakers are headed for showdown over Big Oil

May 11th 2011

Lawmakers are spewing their best vitriol on oil all over the House and Senate floors this week, as Democrats and Republicans, spurred by record-setting gas prices, bicker over whether oil companies are poised to help save the economy, or tank it.

In the Senate, Majority Leader Harry Reid is setting up a bill that would strip the five biggest oil companies — BP, Chevron, Conoco Phillips, Exxon Mobil, and Shell — of extra tax breaks that he says are letting them reap first-quarter profits of $36 billion this year.
