They took Iraq to keep down supply to increase demand and profits for Ali Babba Saudi. Very simple really. And they all profer. Must have really
tricked them off no major hurricanes this year to blame on price rises around labor day, fourth of July. Unprecendented! I hate 'em all. But it's
winter now, and they will bleed us every way they can. GRRRR.

Does anyone else remember when gas hit 2 dollars a gallon? People were outraged and demanding an investigation into it. Bush even gave a press
confrence and said that he was going to look into it and try to keep prices down for everyone. I don't remember any sort of resolution to that press
confrence.

Oh ya former op. Remember that real well. Congress brought the oil company CEO's up to the bench for review, but they refused to do so under oath so
it was all bluster. Meaning nothing. Ya 'I' remember. Only goes to show ya Congress/Senate are a bunch of anemic shwartzes with big fat pac money
in their fat little drippy keesters . Endeered by Bush and his cronies.

I know the price of gasoline affects almost everyone. But my concern is the cost of home heating fuel. I think this is going to become a major issue
this winter when people will have to choose between food or heat.
Every time Bush rattles his war machine, the oil speculators buy crude at a higher price. Someone is making money off of the "fear factor" price of
oil. And for many Americans, the misery index keeps going higher and higher.
"This is an investment-led rally, built on what if something happens," said Darin Newsom, senior analyst at DTN, a commodities research firm in
Omaha. "I don't think we've topped out yet."
The poor, who spend a higher share of income on heating, will bear most of the pain, economists said. Though prices have soared, federal fuel
assistance has declined. In 2005, when the average price of heating oil in Massachusetts hit $2.49 a gallon, a family of four earning $21,000
qualified for about $1,100 to help cover heating bills, according to Action for Boston Community Development, a nonprofit that administers the program
locally.

For me, it is just one more reason to believe that Bush is the worst leader this country has ever had.

I remembered when I first moved back to florida in 97-98 gas was under a dollar(barely). Then I remember when I first started driving, beginning of
2000, it was at 1.25-1.30. So in 10 years time it's gone up 200%.
Does anyone notice that on the news they always pointed out, well if we compare this to the 70's oil crisis it would have to hit $95 a barrel, with
inflation etc. Hmm now they stopped that, SUPRISE!

Wouldn't it feel a bit more comfortable having an automobile running on biodiesel fuels???? This is my plan. And moving on from there, converting
other useful mechanics to diesel engines using biodiesel. It can't be too difficult.
My curiosities in oil now focus on the market. Bush doesn't have much longer in his term. If we go into Iran it should be quite soon. If this happens
the oil spout once again is turned to the left, causing an estimated $200/barrel. Investing in oil would be an alright move it seems, but in the
bigger picture, this high of oil prices will create a deep recession and then a depression in which oil prices will be put to shame by that of gold.
It is so obvious to me the inevitable soon stock market crash in America. Look at gold prices historically! Gold is betting on market failure. I think
this upcoming week we'll see gold go back over $800/ounce.
Any of you thought of using a biodiesel automobile?
