Buy a foreign vehicle that gets 50 miles to the gallon and you might be able to afford food and medicines for the family.

Still $23 per barrel (2005 $) lower than it was under Carter.

How much longer can this madness go on? It seems like the American Public would be crying "Uncle" by now.

...Cordier said he has been stunned by the recent runup in oil and gasoline prices and the apparent lack of any response from motorists. That's because they can afford it and afford it easily.

The speculation is over... The companies involved are now trying to see how far and how fast they can push the envelope before eliciting a negative consumer response.

One would think that such profits would encourage the building of more refineries.
That's assuming the law of supply and demand hadn't been repealed by the left...

It's only speculation. I suspect the sell orders are poised to launch if not at $65 per barrel then definitely at $70.
Domestic inventories are higher than they were last year and supplies are good. The only thing that is driving the price is the uncertainty in Iraq and Iran but as long as the oil keeps flowing, those worries will become less of a factor.

This is ridiculous. Gas is pushing $2.50 a gallon here.....it costs me nearly thirty bucks to fill my damn tank. We could kick OPEC and the Chinese in the shorts if we expanded domestic production, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (John Belushi-esque version), we have to listen to the eco Nazis and tie our economy to foreign sources.
Someone hold my hat while I puke.....

The clean natural gas, uranium and coal resources of our western state basins are unbelievable. At least $100 trillion dollars in natural gas, uranium, coal resources and oil reserves out there could last US 300-500 years. With new refineries, it's a win-win scenario for US.

Oil range 66.00/64.55 present 65.50 up 0.60
Gasoline range 1.96/1.90 present 1.94 up 0.04
That is, there will be no gasoline under 1.94. With tax and other considerations the price of gasoline will be about 50 cents higher.
