what do u guys think about the rising gas prices? obviously, the price of gas is ridiculously low compared to at least European countries, and they were being held artificially low. if we're in iraq to control oil prices, how come the price has just suddenly jumped, despite the saudis pledging to increase their output? ... just a few things i was curious about

price galging (sp)...bush being in bed with oil companies. high gass prices equal more money in the pockets of bush and the vice prez. higher output...more money...higher prices. why is that hard to understand? its the nature of greedy oil tycoons.

one thing though is that since oil companies can probably charge pretty much whatever they want, why dont they? America is dependent on oil, so even if oil prices skyrocketed even more, the demand for oil wont change very much. seeing as how oil prices are a lot more in european countries, it would appear to me that for some reason, America, which is more dependent on oil, should be paying MORE. i'm not sure about how much of a markup that Europeans face though. but take a look at these prices european/us gas prices
if i were a greedy oil exec, i would be charging americans a lot more for oil.

imma have to go gas/electric then
Those cars are fucking jokes...you still got to use gas, which to me, defeats the whole purpose of an electric car.

Think about it, we are still using technology that was around 100 years ago. This is fuckin retarded...gas cars! WTF? We should have flying discs by now! Greedy ass people man. After all these years, there hasnt been a single company that could market a non-gasoline car?!?! Makes no sense. We have people who have invented cars that run off McDonalds greese goddamn it. Even hot hair. Fuckin insane.

Nah, oil companies ain't running shit. Bush is the president of the United States. Keep prices reasonable or we'll just come and blow your country to smitterings. That's how we negotiate, and settle differences, what yall ain't know.- Contagious Loco

they are fucken jokes, but not becuase of the reason u provided.

it turns out that the hybrids cars get about the same milage as a regular car. the government and car companies are advertises the 50+ MPG, but some people have been getting 32MPG.
