    It "hurts" the environment to drill in the gulf or Alaska. It hurts my wallet not to drill!

    I don't think gas will hit $5 but should level off at $4.. The only way to offset costs is invest in oil..SSN has been my charm..or KOG..

    It's 3.39 here, up 30 in just two weeks. I thing its time to make it a regulated utility and get of the comoditys and exchange. It would stop the sudden glut of profits of day (thiefs ) oops, I mean day traders.

    The sad part is that there is not a shortage of oil even with the issues that are going on in the world; it is the speculators, which are making boat loads on jacking up the prices. I feel that we as consumers should all just say the hell with them and just travel only when required and car pool as much as possible. We are close to $4 a gallon for Diesel, and I am sure it is not done yet. The government is not going to help out much as they are trying hard to push the electric & Hybrid car and this is feeding that push. Only way it will change is if it looks like it is going to crash again.

    Personally, I feel that we need to make all of government to have to buy their own fuel, cars, insurance, both auto and medical and see what they do then. As long as we are buying it for them, they don't care what it is.

    Sorry for the soap box but a sticking point with me when I drop close to $150 this morning to fill up the PU. Evil or Very Mad

    Really = sad to realize that the gas is TAXED so much by our States!! Reason to eliminate the "FAT " in our States Budgets!! Geeze= I do remember when I was starting to drive @ age 14 -lisenced in Texas and then our fuel was 19 cents a gallion-heck was in 78 when we had the big fuel costs rise to 75 centa a gallion. and we as a Nation - built the entire Interstate Road system in the mid -sisties!!

    I would LOVE to see a north america get together and have an oil pact and say F U to the middlebeast. We control our own oil prices... Pipe dream but would love to see it happen.

    It works out at nearly $9 a gallon over here in the UK, and it is going up by the week. Quite depressing when you drive an old vehicle that isn't very efficient...!!!

    Blaming the middle east is is part of the problem, but we can't forget the oil companies here in the states.
    Nothing will slow the economy fast than this, everything will raise in cost soon
