$6.00 a gallon for gas in Florida

[bigrebnc1775]

I already debunked your bullshit.
This is the sequence of events, Iran tested its missiles, 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.

Blah blah blah balh blah
I posted the nonpartisan links that call you a ******* liar.

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.

dumb ass
1.what month did bush lift the offshore drilling ban?
2. What was the gas price the preceding month and the month when the ban was lifted?
3. What was the price of gas the next month after the ban was lifted?

OK duumb here are the gas prices leading up to the crash of the economy and even then gas prices did not surge up because bush had lifted the offshore drilling ban

It has already been shown that the oil prices spiked because of tension between Israel and Iran, just like today. Once Israel backed down from their threat to attack Iran, the price of oil dropped immediately. Bush was a mindless bystander.

This is the sequence of events: Iran tests 9 missiles one a long range missile capable of reaching Israel, Israel threatens attack, oil prices jump, Iran in defiance tests one more missile, oil prices peak, Israel does not attack, oil started down, days after oil started down Bush makes purely symbolic and meaningless lifting of ban on offshore drilling that didn't lift the ban on offshore drilling.

'The 5 biggest whoppers in Egobama's energy speech'

Investors Business Dailylistened to Egobama's energy speech so you didn't have to, and picked out the top 5 lies told by the president about his energy policy:

LIE: "We're focused on production."

Fact: Obama has chosen almost always to limit production. He canceled leases on federal lands in Utah, suspended them in Montana, delayed them in Colorado and Utah, and canceled lease sales off the Virginia coast.

LIE: "The U.S. consumes more than a fifth of the world's oil. But we only have 2% of the world's oil reserves."

In fact, the U.S. has a mind-boggling 1.4 trillion barrels of oil, enough to "fuel the present needs in the U.S. for around 250 years," according to the Institute for Energy Research. The problem is the government has put most of this supply off limits.

LIE: "Because of the investments we've made, the use of clean, renewable energy in this country has nearly doubled."

Fact: Production of renewable energy - biomass, wind, solar and the like - climbed just 12% between 2008 and 2011, according to the federal Energy Information Administration.

LIE: :We need to double-down on a clean energy industry that's never been more promising."

Fact: Renewable energy simply won't play an important role in the country's energy picture anytime soon, accounting for just 13% of U.S. energy production by 2035, according to the EIA.

LIE: "There are no short-term silver bullets when it comes to gas prices."

Fact: Obama could drive down oil prices right now simply by announcing a more aggressive effort to boost domestic supplies. When President Bush lifted a moratorium in 2008, oil prices immediately fell $9 a barrel.

George W. Bush was the goose that flew into the engine.

Obama landed the plane in the Hudson.

 

[signelect]

This is a BS thread but just in case it is true I hope they stay in Florida. I don't want the demand to so up here. I want tell you where here is but I paid $3.33 yesterday.

George W. Bush was the goose that flew into the engine.

[Papageorgio]

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?

At least I know you are not a economist or a business person,

Most of the experts were of the opinion that it was the act of removing the ban that caused the price drop, it eased many minds it cut the fear and anxiety.

Everything Invested Bigots Daily says is a whopper of a lie. Oil prices fell BEFORE Bush pretended to lift a moratorium that did not end a ban on offshore drilling as soon as the tension between Israel and Iran let up.

And we don't have 1.4 trillion barrels of oil, we have 1.4 trillion barrels of tar sands that cost so much to process into refine-able oil that the price of gas would skyrocket. If it could be refined profitably at todays prices they would be doing it already.

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.

Gas prices could hit $3 by autumn

So what you're saying is the president controls gas prices? ain't it wired how gas prices just dropped down right before the election at the beginning of the summer season where it normally gas pierces are higher.

That's pretty much what the wingnuts were saying in this thread.

 

[Dick Tuck]

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.

An optional invasion and occupation of Iraq certainly drove them higher.

 

[Katzndogz]

A $2.00 increase is modest. A 30 cent drop is dramatic.

Gas should go back down to $2.00 a gallon which is still more than it was when obama caused the price to rise.

 

[Dick Tuck]

Gas prices came down when he lifted the offshore drilling ban.
But you knew that already.

How could that possibly be?

It would take ten years for those leases to come to market

Bush lifts ban

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

Now you were saying?

Wow, that's right. Now what happened in August, 2008? Oh yeah, Bush crashed the economy. Was that why he decided to do it?

 

[Dick Tuck]

A $2.00 increase is modest. A 30 cent drop is dramatic.

Gas should go back down to $2.00 a gallon which is still more than it was when obama caused the price to rise.

The prices are lower than they were in June, 2008.

That would be Chris Christie

That guy is fucked now that it's come out that he has his own Willie Horton problem x 100, with those halfway houses.

No, actually the guy can't walk ten feet

He's literally one of those Limousine Conservatives we always hear about. Except, he's not a conservative.

Gas should go back down to $2.00 a gallon which is still more than it was when obama caused the price to rise.

It was $0.99 in Georgia the day Clinton left office.

It was over $4.00 seven years later, due to Shrub's fuckups.

 

[Ernie S.]

Gas prices could hit $3 by autumn

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

Just celebrating lower gas prices

Aren't you?

$2.979 in Mobile this morning. Why are prices falling?

 

[Ernie S.]

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

Gas is $4 a gallon, dummy.

Where? $3 +/- a few cents here. Let me guess. Blue state?

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.

And when obama nixed the pipeline, the price here went from $3.17 to $3,34 in a week.
