I agree with your post, from what I understand it`s not so much supply & demand for the most part that affects the price at the pump but the damn speculators who could`nt give a rats ass how much we pay per gallon as long as they are able to rake us over the coals and laugh all the way to the bank. There is a website titled Close the Enron Loophole.com Congress must act now or I forsee an economic disaster not too far down the road.

The trick is to STOP using gasoline all together. We need a new “fuel” that does not make us dependent on a corporation. I have created a website for what I consider the most feasible solution to this. You will note that there is not a single ad or paid link anywhere on the site. Its archaically simple for good reason. ITs not to promote anything except ACTION to fix this problem. The solution is quite easy ORGANIZING said solution is another matter all together. I will be fixing all the spelling errors and crap but just wanted to get something online. I am tired of doing nothing. It has to start somewhere.

We can not stop buying gasoline. it just will not work we will blink first in that kind of encounter and lose. UNLESS we simply no longer “need” gasoline. When I say gasoline I mean ANY fuel source we can not self generate this includes bio fuels ethanol and hydrogen. As long as we must depend on someone else to supply us with it then it will be absolutely NO different than gasoline is now.

What I don’t get is they say hurricanes like katrina are
a big cause because of refinery shutdowns. Well
hurricanes have always been around and devestating yes
there’s been more in recent years but why weren’t gas
prices higher earlier ? all the sudden 5 -10 years it goes up
about 1.50-2.00 a gallon.

War in iraq , hurricanes , bad relations either way like
is said oil companies sure aren’t hurting —hmmmm

I sincerely hope that people are interested in saving money. I work really hard for money to support my family along w/my husb. We can’t hardly afford to take a road trip up to the city 40 minutes away. We go there for SPECIAL occasions like every 6 months! It just cost too much and that cost is keeping us AMERICANS cooped up at home or staying close to home. DO ANY OF YOU EVER FEEL LIKE AN ANT IN A CHILDS ANT FARM TOY?

“we’re being screwed”, those last 3 words in your article sum up the sentiments perfectly. The interesting part is we are being screwed in the dark … so there is no way of knowing exactly who is screwing us either. Many of us are being screwed against our wishes too, doesn’t that constitute statutory rape? Uuuuugggggghhhhhh !!!!
