I really can't see why people even do this.

the only reason why gas is so expensive in european countries is because they tax the f out of it, and drive the prices up in other artifical ways

the socislists there want to socially engineer people to be better able to control, thats why they want public transportation, they choose where you should and should not go.

what people dont understand is that when you stop buying gas for a given time...your not hurting the oil companies what so ever. your hurting the local owners of the stations. the best thing that the basic person can do is buy from specific companies...i usually choose BP. they dont buy overseas and they invest into the environment and alternative fuels

hahahaahah

you dumbass, they only say that in their commericals, it came out a few months ago they don't do any of that ---- LOL

oh well...---- happens....they still have the cheapest gas in this area...


oh...and show proof....not saying i dont believe you...but id like to see where that came from

lol at people thinking gas companies will lower theyre prices.. gas stations wont either.. because they already have a cunthair thin profit margin they sure as ---- wont make it any cheaper.. gas stations arround here have cash paying prices a little cheaper than credit card paying prices because they actually were selling gas at a ------- LOSS when customers used the credit cards..

this is free market and this is what happends when you live in a free country..

guy blows himself up in iraq raise prices
a storm brews in the gulf of mexico, raise prices
opec has a meeting, raise prices
osama sends out a video, raise prices
iaea talks about iran, raise prices
invade a country that did nothing to provoke us, raise prices

shitty ------- thing is that the iraqi govt has a ------- SURPLUS and were at a DEFICIT and they act like the little bitch and cry when we talk about wanting them to use there own oil money.. we will never get paid back, nor will we ever profit from iraq, or be lucky enough to get out of the multitrillion dollars we spent there.. we wont make any of it back..

please at least try to educate yourself before shitting out of your mouth.

EU gas is more expensive because of the crude they buy and level of refinment. the european gas companies get tax incentives for refining cleaner fuel (as in 10ppm sulfur as compared to our 80ppm) though we both buy lite sweet crude it typically comes form different parts of the world so the sulfur and other content is different even thoughit is described under the same name. if you want i can go further in detail about how lower levels of sulfur lend to better gas mileage and cleaner emmisions because of the ability to run leaner

where exactly in the US are we pumping crude clean enough to refine into gas/diesel

the only ---- we have here is PA and CA crap that can barely be made into motor oil much less something to run an internal cumbustion engine on.

When saddam was running iraq gas was cheap. Saddam ruled.

gas was cheap way before "dubya" got into action. not saying the fault lays on him....but he sure hasn't done anything to stop it
