If what we hear about refineries is true - they are at capacity. How would additional oil in the supply chain make any difference in gasoline prices if that oil cannot be refined?

My personal opinion - WE can blame that thug in Venesuela and the greedy and ungrateful Islamo-satanists in the middle east that are raping the American consumer.

Of course, our own gasoline producers are not innocent of making a little extra profit - after all, the old saying goes: "make hay while the sun shines".

I would rather a moratorium on gasoline taxes. Depending on where you live, you could be paying more than 40 cents per gallon just in taxes....

Then there is that lame excuse for the "oxygenated" and "low-sulfur" fuels. Refineries claim they cannot make the stuff as fast....

And of course, those of us who drive large vehicles get some blame too - our trucks and SUV's are supposedly so pig-like.

Of course, which of the above reasons are the one's blamed for the current situation with gasoline prices..........?????

all of the above, except, you could easily argue that high oil prices are GOOD for helping Iraq succeed
