$6.00 a gallon for gas in Florida

[rightwinger]

Shut the **** up. Bush lift the presidential offshore drilling ban and gas prices came down. I have presented the facts. argue with them.

You presented opinionated bullshit. The prices went up over tensions between Israel and Iran and had peaked and were headed down days BEFORE Bush lifted a meaningless ban that did not remove the states ban on drilling.
Admit it, you are full of shit and you know it!

I ain't got time for this ******* shit
Bush lifted the executive offshore drilling ban in July 2008 gas prices were 4.11 in July 2008 in Aug 2008 gas prices were 3.74 the end.

How many gallons were added to the US gas supply to cause such a drop?

 

[Synthaholic]

So what you're saying is the president controls gas prices?

Just celebrating lower gas prices

Aren't you?

This is the season when gas prices go higher, but we are near the election.

Don't tell me a president doesn't have some control on the price of gas.

Then why did Bush allow it to go over $4.00? Does he hate America?

So when gas went down below $2 a gallon before the 2008 election, you claim Bush did it?

The whole world must be thankful for US Presidential elections

I don't believe I have ever said a president doesn't have some control on gas prices. They do. through policy, tax, executive order or regulation. It's just that simple this is the time normally you would find gas prices going up but it is an election year.

No, dumbass - China is now experiencing a huge slowdown and has cut way back on oil consumption. India, too.

Less demand=lower prices.

I thought supply and demand was a universally understood concept, even in Wingnut World.

if you understand supply and demand you understand that gas is directly tied to the price of oil. oil is also a commodity which is sold on the open markets and available for speculation. the GOP touts the free market system as the best system in the world. well this is a result of the free market system. if demand outpaces supply, prices increase. which is what is currently happening.

now you may say that its because Obama is limiting drilling on the north american shelf. this again is not true at all. Domestic drilling and oil production is at its highest level in history. the problem is that oil once again is a commodity and its price is set on the open market.

if the president were to unilaterally fix gas prices, then you could actually call him a socialist or a communist. since this is actually a part of the socialist / communist ideology. when the government control, fixes, or alters an industry unilaterally, it is in essence the definition of socialism / communism. if this is what the GOP/TP/Conservative want, its extremely hypocritical.

so oil was about 79$ a barrel yesterday? does that mean gas should be $6.00? Wow!

It's an old thread fail from katzndumbfuck, Granny. Try to keep up.

Since all of the fox shows and the repub politicians held obama responsible for gas prices as they rose, it seems only rational that they would be giving him credit as gas prices have been dropping over the past months. But all I hear is silence.

What a surprise!!!

You lose credibility when you start off with repug or dumbcrat

You've never had any credibility.

Bush lifts ban
Bush lifts executive ban on offshore oil drilling - CNN

Gas prices July 2008 before the offshore drilling ban was lifted 4.11
Average gas prices

Aug 2008 $3.74
Average gas prices--August 18, 2008

Now you were saying?

You do know that offshore drilling was still banned by the STATES, don't you? Of course you do!!!
And you do know the price spiked because of threats that Israel was going to attack Iran just like today, don't you? Of course you do!!!
So if you really wanted to blame those responsible for the high oil prices you would blame the speculators acting on Israel's threats.

Shut the **** up. Bush lift the presidential offshore drilling ban and gas prices came down. I have presented the facts. argue with them.

I already debunked your bullshit.
This is the sequence of events, Iran tests its long range missile, Israel threatens attack, oil prices jump, Iran tests another missile, oil prices peak, Israel did not attack, oil started down, Bush makes purely symbolic lifting of ban.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2...il.commodities

Oil prices surged to a new record of $147 a barrel yesterday on increasing tension between the west and Iran.

Brent crude rose to $147.02 in London, while in the US light sweet crude was up by more than $3 to $146.90.

Iran this week tested missiles capable of reaching Israel, leading US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice to warn that America would defend its allies. Iran, second largest producer in the oil cartel Opec, responded with another missile launch.

Neither the US nor Israel has ruled out a military strike on Iran. Traders fear the oil-producing nation could retaliate by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, through which 40% of the world's tanker traffic passes.

"There's always a fear premium in pricing," said Jeff Brown, managing director of Facts Global Energy. "The tensions in Iran and the threat of supply disruption will help support oil prices."

Nigeria's main militant group also helped drive up oil prices by threatening to resume attacks on the country's oil production facilities. The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta has carried out a number of attacks on oil installations and kidnapped several expatriate oil workers over the last few years, which has contributed to oil production in the country falling by about a quarter.

So you are saying voters should be thanking Obama for $3 a gallon gas?

Gas is $4 a gallon, dummy.

Nope

Even in San Francisco it's $3.63, and they are regularly the most expensive place in America, after Honolulu ($3.84).

Of course, wingnuts refuse to believe that Hawaii is part of America, so . . .

Bullshit!

Your own links show prices peaked July 10 after Iran launched its second missile test in defiance of threats from the US and Israel. When Israel did not retaliate the price of oil dropped immediately. Bush did not make his purely symbolic gesture until July 14 with prices already down from their July 10 peak.

Florida Drivers Shelling Out Nearly $6 A Gallon At Some Gas Stations « CBS Tampa

TAMPA (CBS Tampa) — Talk about pain at the pump! Some Florida drivers are spending nearly $6 a gallon to fill up their gas tanks.

According to GasBuddy.com, motorists are shelling out $5.89 for a gallon of regular gas at a Shell station in Lake Buena Vista, topping out at $5.99 a gallon for premium. It doesn’t get better at a Suncoast Energy station in Orlando, where drivers are paying $5.79 for a gallon of regular.

What GOOD NEWS for democrats. If this doesn't put a lock on obama's keeping his job, everyone is just racist. Democrats will tell you how high prices are good for the ecoonomy.

10$ a gallon in Europe, so you have nothing to complain about.

But the problem in the US is the failed foreign policy, Cuba has large reserves of oil just outside Florida that are cheap and available. But US are not willing to buy from Cuba. The embargo on Iran does also create a price increase.

For cheaper gasoline, remove those trade regulations with Cuba, Venezuela,Iran etc. Let free market and free trade solve it and cheap gasoline will be available.

Trade with Cuba, Iran, venezuela etc. Free trade and free market,no embargos

Their measurement of the gallon is different than out measurement. Thats why some cars advertise 70+ mpg there.
