No need for exporting taxes including the fees to ship if it was being shipped overseas. Lower government tax since it was made at home for those mentioned above. There are dozens of reasons why it's cheaper but the stuff I said are the biggest ones. Hell,honestly gas would be a dollar and change right now if the U.S. government didn't tax so much on oil companies importing oil into the U.S. But that's just how things work and always has worked.GSXR750DJ said:
:iagree: The gov't is a fraud. There is no gas/oil shortage. It's just a good excuse the make the rich richer. Gas here in the Harrisburg Area has gone up from $2.47 on tuesday to $3.19 at 3am. When I get outta work at noon I'm sure they will be higher. Total bull****.
I'll tell you what MP will do when the new World Order with MP in control happens - find whatever pisshole country you are in and nuke it first.Gazzer-C said::sob: :sob: :sob:
:sob: :sob: :sob: :sob: :sadwave: UK/European prices here we come... :yikes: Thats only 50% of what we will be paying... Oh no what will MUDPUPPY do?????:cursin:
In the meantime I am going to research ways to fug over the oil companies and make it my life's mission to do so. All they are doing is protecting their profits during a tradegy. Ok so the hurricane hits and affects 2 pipe lines - neither of them service Detroit but immediately gas prices go up??? WTF, over? Complete BS.. The two pipe lines that were affected service what like 10% of the country but 100% of the country pays higher premiums so they don't lose their precious 20% profits? It should be illegal but when the president who is in charge has controlling interest of SURVEY SAYS oil companies and is getting kickbacks from SURVEY SAYS oil companies then we, the little people suffer, and it is wrong.
Oh and Gazzer don't worry your pretty little head my friend - gas will be back down to like $2.30 per gallon here in a couple of months and then what will you do when we are drinking gas for breakfast because it is so cheap? :spam: :yaewn:
Herein lies the problem...the Gov't jacks up gas prices by huge margins then they drop them by a few cents here and their, but never returning to their previous prices, all the while tricking the American public into thinking prices are coming back down. Give me a break G. W. :dupe:
its all BS the high prices are TAXES and thats it. someone is getting tons of money. and yes ****ing jeeps are a joke right now. i am selling my 94 wrangler casue it costs way too much and its only a 4 banger. but its also got 30+ inch tires on it which dont agree with the gas prices right now. this is y i got a 96 jetta for 2500 and its awsome on gas.

Here's another person blaming the President for everything... the gov't has nothing to do with the prices! It's the oil companies turning the huge profits!!marko138 said:
The taxes don't change! Again... how many times do I have to say...it's the oil companies making the MEGA BUCKS!zx636r said:
Price of crude oil rises, gas goes up. price of crude oil falls, gas stays up. Hell, if they keep it at near $3, we stop complaining and buy alot when its $2.50. Creating a "shortage" to jack it up more. Thats just savy buisness. i blame.... illegal whaling in the glacier rainforests.

See you're on my page now...JK_DILLA said:
OK OK... listen up... I'm Gas Man and I got the low down... hence... GAS Man!!
The a-holes in New York freak out cause there is a sand storm in south africa which is about 3 gazillion miles from the sand box they get their oil from... they leak it out to the media. The media puts it in the news... more stock exchangers hear about it and the price of crude goes up $4 in one day! That afternoon the price of the gas at the pump goes up $0.50!!! :rant:
Bush opens the national reserves... which makes the supply greater... but it takes 3 weeks for the price to trinkle back down... why? :cursin:
Now lets conquer the idea of future profits/earnings... everybody asks why do they charge more for my gas now if the crude just went up... the gas I'm pumping is at the old price! Here's why... The BP gas station has lots of "old" gas... selling it for $2 a gallon. The Mobil down the street, also selling at $2 per gallon, has some but not alot... The price of crude goes up as described above. Now they keep selling it at $2. The Mobil gas station runs out first..orders more gas and pays more so therefor raising the price to $2.50. While the BP has lots left over..keeps selling it at $2...
What happens? Everybody and their brother starts buying their gas at that BP for $2 not $2.50... That don't work well for them... so they keep it even...everybody jacks up their price. Besides their in it to make money. They know they can charge more cause they are following suit. Not to mention they know their next load is going to be more money so charge more now and it effects their ledger less.... see?
Now wasn't that simple...

Well he does have a background in the oil companies... but you might as well blame me... I have a background in them. The company I work for and my father retired from ships their petroleum in our pipelines. So you could say we benifit from it... as long as they are selling it and stay in bix then they ship thru us which keeps my checkbook flowing... what's your point?
