Actually it's $4.12 down here in South Florida.
demonizing the oil companies :v: speculation makes gas about 56 cents higher than it should be (well, I heard that when it was 3.60 so... probably 70 cents now)
Stupid news, what else is new.
OH GOD SANTORUM "We were sucking hard on that swizzle stick" :v: [editline]13th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=thrawn2787;35127067]demonizing the oil companies :v: speculation makes gas about 56 cents higher than it should be (well, I heard that when it was 3.60 so... probably 70 cents now)[/QUOTE] We have enough gas for the next few hundred years, speculation is just what the companies blame it on when they want to squeeze a few more bucks from us. These are the largest corporations on the planet, you know?
Yeah how dare you demonize those poor hard pressed companies. [img]http://www.4-traders.com/reuters_charts/1,2,360,280,Exxon+Mobil+Corporation/A2144/2/Income+Statement+Evolution.png[/img] wait...

Free market! *gas hits $4 a gallon* Why is there no government regulation!

[QUOTE=Nikota;35126847] Remember when Gas Prices were $4.40 in 08? They're about $3.75 right now.[/QUOTE] Average gas prices have skyrocketed. And yes, the president does have influence over gas prices through his energy policy and tax policy. However, there are so many other factors driving gas prices up, that to say Obama is singlehandedly raising gas prices is simplistic and sensationalist. That's what Fox News does; they take the grain of truth, and exaggerate it to the point that it might as well be an all out fabrication.
