Bush's fake gasoline shortage

Americans pay some of the highest wholesale gasoline prices in the world. Don't believe me, go here. http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/dnav/pet/pet_pri_spt_s1_d.htm Look for prices in Rotterdam and Singapore, before taxes. The price being twenty or so cents higher in the US, as compared to Europe or Asia, is for a reason. US laws make the US formulations, unusual by world standards, less popular with non-US refineries. Refiners in the US face reduced overseas competition. Windfall, at your expence. It doesn't cost that much more to make, but they can charge more because of the artificial shortage. I'm getting tired of hearing about the refinery shortage, the problem is continual law changes.

[MikefromOhio]

And it's STILL PRESIDENT BUSH to you troll...

You won't get ANYWHERE with me or pretty much anyone else on this forum by referring too him DISRESPECTFULLY by only his last name.

Got it numbnuts?

There is little doubt that you aren't from this country, question everyone is trying to figure out, are you even from this solar system?

let's talk about ethanol

$3.40 a gallon
http://ethanolmarket.aghost.net/

corn, last time I looked, $2.60 a bushel,
yield of ethanol is about 2.5 gallons per bushel
who do you think is doing well?

ethanol stickers on the gas pumps in my area, BTW

[MikefromOhio]

English isn't your first language is it?

Logic isn't your favorite passtime either huh?

[Bigh4u2]

And now ethanol is a product of the President?

You have really lost it. OR never had it to begin with.

[thackney]

Yes, supply and demand works for products other than gasoline. What is your point?

[marron]

Just as a word to the wise, for future reference, the oil conspiracy theories, the whole Enron black helicopter stuff, has a pretty limited utility as an issue to rally behind. The problem is that quite a few people out there in fly-over country actually work in this business, and actually know something about it.

I've never heard a Green, or a Dem, just for example, open his mouth about oil or energy that my first reaction wasn't, this guy hasn't the faintest clue what he's talking about. Multiply that reaction by millions across the country, because there are millions of people that work in the industry and immediately recognize nonsense when they hear it.

So, as a rallying issue, I suppose it works, but only on people who don't actually know anything. The rest of us just shrug our shoulders, we're used to it, but it does give you pause when it comes time to vote. You think, if he's that whacked when it comes to the energy business, something I know about, I wonder if he's as clueless on the things I don't know that much about.

So thats a problem, when you're trying to get smart people to vote for your candidate.

[Beagle8U]

I think we have figured out your problem with ethanol!

You are supposed to put it in your car, don't drink it!

[ARealMothersSonForever]

Jumpin' Jack flash; it's a gas, gas,gas!

[nopardons]

Why don't YOU know how our government works? We don't have an all powerful king/dictator, who can do anything he wants to, anytime he wants to.

[greasepaint]

in East Texas, they recently changed from conventional,
to 'not RFG, but extra low vapor presure' gasoline.

within a two county radius of me, federal law callls for
three federal blends, on top of the usual stuff.

I don't know what Bush could have done,
but he didn't stop the EPA

[Ironclad]

You've just gotta change the resolution on your monitor, dude. Looks like you're writing Haiku.

[Darksheare]

Wow!
The President controls 'big oil'?
(Like that Politician Sleaze in NJ says in his campaign ads?)
Amazing!
And I suppose he also controls what taxes a state levys on gas, like NY's triple extortion fees?
Just how much power do you think the President has on such things?
And if he DID actually have such power, how many people would be screaming about 'nanny government' because gas isn't 'below 90 cents'?

No, the U.S. truly doesn't have that many refineries either due to enviro wackies and certain politicians pandering to the envirolobbyists.

[nopardons]

You've been here long enough to KNOW not to post your idiotic thread in News; yet you did so anyway.

You've been here long enough, one would have reason to suppose, to have managed to learn salient points as to how this government works and doesn't; even if you never learned it in school. YOU HAVEN'T!

Everyone has already told you that you are posting garbage; so I won't do it yet again. What I will tell you, is that you should never post to FR again and reading FR has done you no good; so just quit it and go back to sitting in a corner and rock...as you mumble idiocies to yourself.

Recently being October 2001 and it was done by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
