During the last few months nobody mentioned a word @ gas prices being down & what a great job Pres. Obana was doing while they were low. So I say to myself..they are as quiet as mouses when gas prices drop, but just wait until they go up again & then it will be Obama's fault. Ya'll never fail to disappoint..Any body knows that the POTUS does not control the oil business..OPEC has got that covered. Somehow I knew this would happen.

Hmmm, are there any elections coming up?" So would higher prices help President Obama or Governor Romney? It makes the President look ineffective in keeping down prices but the most left-wing types keep wanting the prices to go WAY up so we can be just like Europeans. It looks like it would cost him votes. On the other hand, it incites the anti-business people to hate businessmen such as Governor Romney. It looks like it would cost him votes. Those many oil companies (many of whom are state owned) have done an amazing job of conspiring against whoever it is they're conspiring against, haven't they?

Tycoons in Washington...why are the taxes we pay not posted on the fuel pumps anymore?? Take a look at Government. Don't blame the local stations.,they just provide service. You want to get rid of this problem? Start voting out your local reps to Washington, and send them a message that they work for you. Yes, we are the largest exporter of oil & fuel.

The U.S can build more refineries, they say its so cost prohibitive, I say if you can spend a billion on a Mars project you can build more refineries. Its the oil companies and their blatant greed. Look at what they spent on the BP oil disaster and the money that is still being paid on that... build the refineries and quit screwing over the people Its all about GREED, they stick it to the public with their lame excuses.

If the maket had no input data they could not raise the price? Make it a federal crime PBD, for producers to reveal production data? Maybe it would be easier to just take fuels off the AMEX. Of course such an Orwellian proposal is a litte off the wall, but it would be interesting to flow chart such a thing and examine how each element and step would be effected by such processes, or go cut the hedges?

One is used for a while and then another one is used and another. Pretty soon we're back to excuse number one again. They gotta get more creative 'cause we're all tired of hearing them. (Either that, or leave the prices reasonable) Why is it that the excuses to raise fuel prices are always the same three or four? One is used for a while and then another one is used and another.
