hey man, this is capitalism, supply and demand. if you don`t like the prices, find ways to reduce your consumption. kind of hard for people that depend on gasoline for work, like cabbies and such. but hey that happens too like when price for raw materials like metals go up.

now if it were like a natural disaster and people were gouging prices on clean water or tents and stuff like that, that would be different. but this isn`t the case. well....there`s also scenarios with monopolies and oligolopolies or however you say it. just pass "GO!->" and collect $200!

hmmmm...actually i dunno if i think oil companies are scamming us. ppl in other countries have for the most part paid more for gas than we have, or so i`ve been told. there are plenty of tips out there on how to save gas, like inflate ur tires properly, don`t drive a frickin giant car if you don`t need one, carpool, reduce the weight of the car (get those dead bodies out of the trunk), plan your errands together to shorten distances, etc.

No- you say capitalism like it`s a good thing, well, it`s good if you already have most of the money...
gasoline for heat and transportation is a resource.we need these commoditiesbecause transportation equals commerce.
Also keep in mind the ridiculously illogical zoning in the united states.Europe pays more for petrol because they have alternatives,(train, bus) and their communities are better placed for citizens to have a walkable commute.
I think last week I watched a vid on here about a man who built a hydrogen mod for any car.He died from an unsolved murder.
A good author who has a fix on why things arent working well is James Howard Kunstler.I think the site is www.kunstler.com
Also keep in mind the discoverer of the bell curve with peak oil was also one of the big oil advisors.Kind of conflict of interest.Thats like the coach of the wings reffin too, not fair...

Do you guys think anything will change???? The only reason they are even doing this is because of an election year. They will do this show, bitch them out, crack a few jokes, say they are evil, and once elections are over they will stop these things.

stbasdf, We are too dependent on oil and it is something that should be voted on, not controlled by a few people.

Ha you guys no nothing about the huge crotch-kick we get here in the bahamas at the pump (currently 5.35 per gallon). And to make matters worse we had the opportunity to buy gas from South America at 10 cents a gallon, but dubbya sent in the dogs to stop the deal, guess he wants us all to suffer.
