    Default Oil Now $111.00 Per Barrel

    This is getting out of hand.... Just a few weeks it was in the low $90 range which was still high but in the past 2 weeks its gone up about $2 per day and each day closes at a new record high.

    I feel bad for who ever owns a diesel truck. Is there a good reason for high gas prices this time?

    Wrong. Opec is raising the prices because of the weakening dollar. The white house is full of douches that don't want to talk about the weakening dollar either.

No Republican or PetroComp rhetoric can explain oil prices jumping $2 and $3 a day when absolutely nothing is happening. I'm sick of this bull**** lets get somebody with more than 12 brain cells in office. I do not want someone who walks on their IQ score representing me in the white house, to the UN or for the Petro Companies to Opec.

    GREED?????? It is basic economics! They have a product and we have a demand for that product so the oil companies can raise the price to whatever they want and we will still pay for it. I don't blame them for making a profit, thats business.

    we are screwed b/c they basically have a monopoly; the top 4 refineries are American/British owned. the oil industry hasn't taken losses in years; most have recorded record gains. with the wonderful excuse of the Chinese. i can understand this to a point but China didn't just all of sudden gain millions of cars + drivers in past couple years. our prices are all about GREED. i just heard a study that that hybrid sales have increased 60%

    Uh, yes it did. I've been 3 times. In 2002 (first time I went), you were considered wealthy if you're family had a car. 1 car to share!. I just got back again in feburary, and everyone in my fiances parents neighborhood now has a car. In 2002 there might of been 10 cars in the whole neighborhood. There used to be almost no middle class. Now it's exploded, and their middle class is growing like crazy. I can't believe how much it's changed in the past few yrs.

    To make matters worse India is almost growing at the same rate.

    Here's an article for further proof. Written in Canada in case you think the US government is bull****ing us.

    They were saying on the news last night there are 3,000 new cars each week joining the roads in China and that is casuing the worst air polution on the planet because the average speed of these cars is 5mph due to such traffic.

    Some people who are supposed to compete in 5 months in the Olympics there are refusing to go due to they fear the pollution when doing thier races, etc.

    China is suggesting the wear masks all the way up to the event, do thier thing then put it back on, Thats how bad they know thier air is

    Neither did American cars back in the day when they had HIGH performance motors, doing exactly what a growing country does until it realizes what it is doing and matures. DUH.

    its not that the price of gas is going up, its that the value of the us dollar is going down. last time i checked the dollar was worth 1.51 against the euro!
