The biggest shocker in that entire article was not the profits of Exxon/Mobil, it was the fact that Democrats want to roll back the gas taxes! Holy crap!! A democrat cutting taxes!?! Someone please tell me its true! I'll believe it when i see it though

This is a clear example of what a federally sponsored higher education system could do to benefit all Americans.

It's spelled DumMy-crat

Arrow it takes manual intervention

like changing your air filter if needed
and making sure your tire pressure is correct.

to get more miles per gallon....

the thing that gets me....is the lack of
technological intervention...

like smart signal lights changing in response
to the traffic load...

It's pretty close to a C note to fill my truck if it is below a 1/4 tank A 100 back from the government is a joke. How about we zip the lips of the future commodity guys (and gals) bidding it up on Wall St.


If they are bidding on oil still in the ground , why is the price at the pump rising daily? Why isn't it (pump price) raised when the oil actually comes out of the ground and is refined? Supposedly we are sitting on a reserve with an 8 year high. Execs watch the prices of Futures and raise the price from there. To me this is gouging as the fuel at the pumps is already paid for.

I'll say it again, if its "nothing" then you can send it my way. I'll make some good use of that "nothing"! If the feds want to give you money back take it! That doesnt happen very often.
