Gas Prices To Rise Again

Brandbla8 · 08-31-2008, 07:41 AM

Gas prices are set to rise again due to the hurricane heading toward louisiana. But if someone can answer one question which is why did they start going up on prices a week before the hurricane is even scheduled to hit? This is a crime! Why is washigton not doing something that they should have done long ago. It is called price gauging and that is exactly what they are doing. Washington needs to step in and take hold of these oil companies.

Washington is part of the whole situation and will never do anything because they are paid to ignore it.

The holidays are just around the corner. The gas prices will continue to go up until at least January. The small price decrease we've seen was just to appease the consumer.

I think that most of the people in the goverment have stock in oil. They don`t seem to care how high gas goes. It`s gonna go up and down forever if they don`t do something. Soon it will be so high no one will even be able to buy it at all.

Well hopefully oil companies will eventually run our of ideas and allow the Government to research alternative sources seriously.

Yes I am sure Washington and some congressman gets some nice kickbacks to help big Oil keep making to massive profits.

I am glad to know that I am not the only person who believes that our own government is getting kickbacks.

Everything in this market is based on knee-jerk reactions. If the storm would have been bad, somebody makes money from it. Oil traders are looking for disruptions to drive the price back up. Keep reducing consumption is the best plan.

We need to do something smart like start to move away from using Gasoline to power our cars. www.pickensplan.com has some great ideas on how we can do this. Being reliant on the rest of the world to power our vehicles is a very dangerous thing to do.

Gas prices are due to rise anytime and again and again.That simply because the earth does not have infinite resources.
