Gas prices up 20 cents in 2 days

[Papageorgio]

So Friday gas was $3.45, today it was $3.79 at Kroger and $3.94 next door at QT.

Lucky for the American people, we're not as dependent on fossil fuels as we were 4 years ago.

Sure we are not. How much different is it today than four years ago?

And still big oil rakes in massive profit.

Funny thing...I still commute surrounded by SUVs with a single occupant.

Keep bitching, but don't do anything about it.

Yeah that profits thing really get's in the way. Ten cents a gallon profit for the oil company is just criminal.

But, I bet you never complained about the amount of taxes taken in on a gallon of fuel.

The United States military uses more fuel than all of the USA. How much tax do they pay on their gallons per%?

The US Department of Defense (DoD) is the largest oil consuming government body in the US and in the world

“Military fuel consumption makes the Department of Defense the single largest consumer of petroleum in the U.S”

The US military is the biggest purchaser of oil in the world.

In 1999 Almanac edition of the Defense Logistic Agency’s news magazine Dimensions it was stated that the DESC “purchases more light refined petroleum product than any other single organization or country in the world. With a $3.5 billion annual budget, DESC procures nearly 100 million barrels of petroleum products each year. That's enough fuel for 1,000 cars to drive around the world 4,620 times.”

That budget increased a lot over the years. The US DoD spent $8.2 billion on energy in fiscal year 2004.

Yea, it's a good thing we're paying almost $4.00 a gallon for gas again. A mere 4 years ago it was the end of the f*ing world.

Pretty close, and that's why gas prices went down.

How much does it cost us to have our military defend foreign sources?

it is expensive now , but it will be cheaper in mass production, the air force has liguid coal,and now that they can use microbes to create methane, who knows. but the military is prepairing for a war in which alot of oil will not be available, soo they are looking at everything possible, including sea weed.
But several are nuclear powered.

YIKES. Between Isaac and the explosion in Venezuela it is not going to be pretty

Yep, I should have gassed up last night. It cost me $91 to fill up this morning. Up from $3.47 to $3.69 overnight.

"Energy prices will necessarily skyrocket"




Hmmmm

 

[SniperFire]

$1.79 when Oblamer took office, after blaming Bush for high gas prices.

I would say more failure, but this is what he wants.

 

[Moonglow]

it is $3.49 in Neosho, Missouri.

We're very different. Fossil fuel consumption is down. Domestic production is up. We're actually exporting fossil fuel products.

Libberhoids, please blame Bush

You'll feel better

Why? Conturds are are already blaming Obama.

Who should we blame when the tundra permafrost melts and the Alaskan pipelines start spilling all over that landscape?

Bitch, please!

Ours are up from $3.49 two weeks ago and now we are at $3.89 and still rising. Glad Obama helps the working class.

 

[Sinjorri]

Just another excuse to raise gas prices...again.
And when the "crises" is over...let's see if the prices fall $.20 is less than a day. Something tells me...like...9,000 examples in recent history...it won't.

as teh dems say never let a crisis go to waste.

Stop it, you're going to make me faux cry over your faux issue.

My husband and I work about 1 mile away....so that's really nice!!! I can't imagine people that have to drive 30 miles or more one way to work everyday!!!

 

[bobcollum]

I think in the end when you objectively look at it, it doesn't make a difference who's in the WH when it comes to gas prices.

 

[meson]

I'm in Northern Ontario at the moment, $5.07 for the equivalency of a US gallon.....what are you folks complaining about?
