Even that probably won't work. As Skip says, look at diesel fuel. There is less of a need for it, and costs less to produce (less refining), yet it cost more than gas. There is no way we are going to "beat" the oil companies.
Maybe if gas gets to $5 a gallon, we could go "Egypt" on the whole administration:eek:.

A week ago I passed a gas station that was advertising non-ethyanol @ $3.29/gal. Today I passed a regular station and the e-10 is now up to $3.25/gal which will put non-ethyanol at $3.45/gal. I hope we see a drop but with Obama in office they will continue to rise. Bob

Your gonna blame this on O Bama ??

Please, tell the class, how so ????

Oh I know.. Obama wasn;t born here, he's from Egypt OR Libya.. No birth certificate.... He caused the uprisings with a secret communique and has the whole middle east in an uproar...

Silly me... What was I thinking ????:eek::eek::eek:

I feel like I hit the lottery. I filled up my Excursion on Wednesday night at Giant. The regular price was $3.06 and I had .30 off in Gas rewards so I filled it up at $2.76 a gallon.

Today the price at Giant was $3.23 gallon!

Well, not bashing the guy at all, but so far he hasn't done anything except let the free market do its thing. I'm all about capitalism, so I have no beef with that.

Anything Big O does will only be a temporary patch to placate the masses anyway. Release some of our strategic reserves? Might knock 10 cents off the price in a little while. The fact is, we're so dependent on foreign oil that there's very little that this, or any administration could do EXCEPT for getting the oil we already have in our own country.

I read today that we have a minimum of 200 year supply located from Canada down through the Dakotas, and some people are estimating it could be as much as a 2,000 year supply.

I'm no geologist, so I don't have a clue about the accuaracy of that...seems an awfully big variance.

But I don't foresee our current administration putting anything in motion to harvest that light sweet crude. The wheels need to be turning in high gear right now in order to make a difference years from now.

So while there's nothing President Obama could really do about the current prices, he can do something about future prices.

How we all forget, " The Bush Years".....

And your favorite App, for your phones should be:

Gasbuddy.com Its free, and very interesting.

Whoever mentioned Giant and the Shell discount, I'd be curious how long it lasts, but it does seem very useful. Most Shells have 5 cents off Thursdays, add week of groceries, for us it ALWAYS $200. So thats 20 cents off, add the five cents off, that's 25 cents per gallon. My tank holds 22. So for the sake of argument, 20 gallons times 25 cents. Save 5 bucks.... Kinda makes it more tolerable.

What’s this a self imposed limit ? :D:D:D My name is Marty I have an internet fishing forums problem, and I look at boat porn when my wife isn’t looking. Please hand over the keyboard.:eek:
