I had read a lil on "bio-fuel" as an alternative for myself....interestingly the consumer costs started out some years back at roughly.....80¢ +/- a gallon. Then as it became more popular an alternative fuel cost for American consumers....wouldn't you know it the Frkn price is almost the same as the shit coming over on tankers getting high-jacked in BFE middle the ocean somewhere. And someone commented on this thread earlier its because of these events; the insurance for the tankers is getting driven up etc...and costs passed to us consumers. Welllll......looks like its still plain old monopoly in the fuel game..... There is money to be made is this line of buisness and that's the only thing that matters to these guys in the buisness! O.P.E.C. controls pricing on this shit! [patriot]

Obama said when he was coming into office he doesn't care how much gas prices get to, so don't expect him to help us out. I will laugh though when this summer gas prices are so high our economy fails again.

Anyone remember the 90's?
average price of gas in 1990 $1.16
average price of gas in 2000 $1.95

Now we have hybrid's and fuel efficient cars and it's through the roof. They keep blaming it on unsettledness in the mid east and Iran. When has there ever been peace in the east? At least give me a somewhat believable excuse you fucks [Mad]

I'm only 24, but I remember as a kid (probably in the mid 90's, one day driving by an Arco with my dad and seeing regular at 99 cents a gallon. Minimum wage hasn't gone up 400% since. I'm really gonna put some thought and research into who I vote for this year, regardless of party affiliation.

That gallon of milk you speak of is all based on the price of fuel. That's the problem!

if only it were that simple, the top 3 oil consumers are as follows, U.S., China I think might exceed us actually now, and Russia, there simply isn't enough domestic supply, hasn't been since the late 70's.
