Ya ever hear anything so F'in stupid in all your life!!!!!!:realmad: Because we will be using more fuel.....not because the cost of crude has gone up, the price of gas is increasing!!!!!! Its not enough that the prices are falsely inflated as it is.....but they need to gouge us more because we will now be out driving around more to travel and vacation due to the better weather.......so they feel they can tuck it up our backside some more and the wonderful government lets them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rocketem:

In regards to questioning about unmitigated huge profits since New Orleans / Katrina and why the price of gas was so high....
One CEO said something like.... its not really high...people just think it is :splat: oh........... so its just my perception :hs:


:huh: WTF? These companies are way too powerful and way too connected............. sheep shearing at its worse :lossinit:

Scroll all the way down for the most current prices....and this is all in U.S. dollars by the way.

Anyone hear of the goob in Milford who shut his station down "because he was sick of people paying high prices...shuts the pumps dead and puts a sign on them, people drive away shaking their heads.. Says he makes .04 per gallon. Guy says at the end of the article that he'll turn the pumps back on if Gas goes over $2.40 a gallon.

He will be open soon then.

2.85-3.00 by Memorial day, very real, from what my bud who owns a station told me.

My buddy owns a station, and that is all he makes on a gallon is 3-4 cents./gal Hey if the gov. is so concerned about the high prices maybe on holiday weekends they should dump there share of the pie and get rid of the taxes. The taxes alone equate to .30 + per gallon.

so are you guys saying that the credit card companies make more than the gas stations? that is whacked

yup, my friend owns a Sunoco station, been in the family for over 50 years.
He goes by the Tedeschi in Eastham that sells Sunoco, they sell it for less than Sunoco bills him???
He calls, .. the answer, you are an Independent, they are a chain, two different wholesale levels. He marks up a dime or so a gallon on his Full service island, and a few cents on the self serve.
He makes more on inspections than the gas and oil change end.
If it wasn't for his Dad, he's sell out to the chain, or lease it out... more money in it that way.
And yeah, the CC companies, makes more on the gas he sells than he does.
Whacked, is right.
almost as profitable as making and sellin plugs :rolleyes:

Raven I have seen court cases about native alaskans, eskimos, actually have shot holes in the pipeline. It cost them many years in jail and then restitution.

NATIONALIZE:splat:

Take a look at gas prices globally......and you will see we dont have it as bad as you think.....

I saw your link earlier on in this post but still think with our reserves and record profits they could do better by us.

Record gas prices.............

Oil plummets more than $2
Crude plunges over $2 a barrel, sinking ahead of change from April to May futures contract.
March 20, 2006: 3:20 PM EST

LONDON (Reuters) - Oil prices tumbled $2.35 to $60.42 a barrel on Monday, as investors bailed out just ahead of the switch to the new futures trading contract. The fall in U.S. light, sweet crude for April delivery represented a 3.8 percent slip in price.
The contract, which expires at the end of Tuesday's session, fell 81 cents (http://money.cnn.com/2006/03/17/markets/oil.reut/index.htm) on Friday, but still ended the week up nearly $3 on concerns about potential supply interruptions.

Senators to Big Oil: Where's the dough? (http://money.cnn.com/2006/03/14/markets/oil_hearing/index.htm)

Gas prices up even as crude falls (http://money.cnn.com/2006/03/13/news/economy/lundberg_gasprices/index.htm)



The May contract for crude, which begins Wednesday, also fell sharply, sinking $2.24 to $61.96, or about 3.6 percent.
Earlier in the session, crude prices fell on profit-taking and on news that a weekend cut in Nigeria's crude output looked less severe than first thought.
Italian oil company ENI, whose Agip unit operates the pipeline, said that 75,000 barrels per day (bpd) of output had been cut by saboteurs at the weekend but that production should resume by month-end.
That was a speedier recovery than investors had expected when they first heard the news, which pushed up prices in early trade.
Royal Dutch Shell has yet to set a restart date for the 555,000 bpd of Nigerian output that it and other equity holders haven't produced since attacks on Feb. 18.
Oil prices rallied last week on crude supply concern and growing worries that changes to U.S. gasoline specifications may stretch the refining system as the summer driving period approaches.
U.S. gasoline dipped 1.01 cents to $1.85 a gallon on Monday, but its premium to crude remained near the five-month high struck last week.
U.S. crude prices have also been buoyed by worries that Iran's nuclear row with the West could hit its exports, overshadowing hefty crude stocks that many analysts now see as additional insurance by a fearful industry.
Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi said he was not worried by swelling U.S. crude oil inventories, which like gasoline stand at their highest level for nearly seven years.
"I believe, in these somewhat tense and uncertain times, it is only logical for consuming countries to build stocks," he said on Sunday. "In normal situations very high stocks would have a depressing effect on prices, but these are not normal times."
