ok let me get this straight.
the price of Gasoline went up because of Hurricane damage.
Ok, then the price went up because it was winter.
the the price went up because it was spring.
then it went up because of spring break.
then because of Easter.
Now it is going up again because of............Hurricane damage.
Oil Companies are asking for the Dems to investigate them. I dont mind anyone making money, but geezzzzzzz.
And now they are paying the head of Exxon 400 million in benefits. 400 Million. It is like they are daring the Goverment to look in on them.
When that happens, watch out..Look for really high gas prices.
The consumer gets it in the rear again. I feel like the cowboy from Brokeback Mountain.

Buy some stock in O&G companies and O&G field services companies...there is still growth there.

U will make more money in your investment than you will ever pay out in gas.

So, it is only Brokeback Mounting...ha...if you let it...

Capitalism works but you have to play the game to win...

It's all a matter of fear, there is no real supply disruption to speak of that should be causing these price hikes. Sure, Venezulua, Nigeria, and a few others are not working out too good along with Iran, but this is so ridiculous because the supply has not dropped. In most cases the supply has increased. And yes I agree with you, the consumer gets reemed again.

Where is our government in our time of need now? It's getting to the point where I can't pay my bills any more because my gasoline bill has tripled in the last 5 years. Thank you oh government of the United States for sticking to the little guy again.

If you had bought some Schlumberger and Halliburton, you would feel like Donald Trump in a jacuzzi with a bunch of naked supermodels.

The oil companies don't set the price of oil, its traded as a commodity.
