Somebody sent me an email with an idea on how to lower the gas prices. It seems like a good idea, but there has to be enough people to do it for it to work. If everybody would stop buying gas from the 2 major oil companies (exxon and mobil), then after a period of time they would have no choice but to lower there prices. Everybody would then have to follow suit. The only thing is, we can't buy gas from them until it hits an acceptable level. Sounds like a good plan to show them that the buyer controls the market, not the seller. We just have to get enough people to do it.

I realize it is a fairly old idea, just reiterating. I think it's the best idea out there right now, and with enough people it could work. Why not give it a try and keep it up. If not, the prices are just going to go higher.

It's too bad all smaller gas companys buy their gas from the 2 big ones that you are "boycotting".

'98 Talon...gone, but not forgotten

All the gasoline in the country is pooled together in a pipe line and distrubuted throughout the country. I dont think its going to work by just doing it to a couple of brands.

now there ^ is a researched comment do you have any proof of such an accusation?
Last I read, China was second only to the US (and by a huge margin) and 3rd in imports.. one guess as to who is #1.

You can't control the gas prices. Deal with it.

what you need to do is just support/buy hybrid/electric vehicals.

There is a company right down the road from me making electric vehicals.
Support for companies like this is what is needed

Wasn't the price per barrel in the mid/early 80's close to the same it is now, or within 5-10 bucks or so?

What pisses me off is the record profits. Their greed is clearly shining through.

I say we go Fight Club on the oil companies.

LOl u crack me up dude..
no one is disputing the fact that china is modernizing and thus its economy is growing.
But to say that that is the reason for our current rapid increase in Oil prices is outright ignorant.
that graph you just posted suffices to show that Even with its "rapid" growth, Chinas' oil consumption is minimal compared to Ours.
Take a look at

Next Class is at 4pm. Thank you.


EDIT:
Ohh and Jeff, I agree with what you said, except that I really doubt the current existing refineries are operating at close to maximum capacity to require the building of more. Although that is just my suspicion.

Are you still just not getting the fact that i said its ONE of the reasons. hello. I simply backed up my "joke" and the FACT i stated regarding Chinas economy growing at an unbelievable rate thus creating a huge demand on top of our own. You said twice that i dont state facts when i clearly do if you would just try to comprehend what your reading. I never said anything about them being above the US on oil consumption. Let it go man. Sorry i dont attend special ed classes so i wont be joining your next class.

I read just fine.. you just forget what you write....
Original post to refresh your memory:
"They cant lower prices... I have a solution, someone needs to "off" half of china's population. They are more oil dependent then we are and their economy is growing at a 10% clip. Stop making babies damn it!"

My initial asking for proof was related to the accusation of China being more dependant on oil than the US. Thus my pointing out the rate of consumption/production of oil.

My second remark on the non-factual comments made was due to your following statement:
"..your "research" is coming from the "talking head" liberal media outlets. Let me guess, you were holding a sign that said "no war for oil" with your liberal buddies last year. "dont seem to know anything about"...ok. typical"

One open space left in the class! make sure to bring your "helmut"

I like high gas prices. I like to see SUV drivers spending $80 at the pump. It's one more thing that will finally slap the last generation's excess spending habits, and burst our housing bubble. I want inflation to eat away at my school loans too.

the higher gas prices go, the more cost effective running our cars with corn will be. then we will buy less and less middle east terror-oil. I'm sick of the U.S. feeding the pitbulls. I wish we would just switch over to e85 (not gonna happen tho anytime soon.) and let all those OPEC nations eat their oil. hey wow, you guys have a bunch of black ooze under your sand dunes. maybe you can find a way to turn it into food


we don't need gasoline. the sun makes all the energy we need. cutting back on our use through efficiency makes a whole lot more difference then getting more of a cheaper supply of oil

nevermind...I was too busy making a JOKE to realize i said they ARE more oil dependent then we are. I guess what i shoulda said was they *will be. ooops

venezula or whatever...gas prices of 14 cents. fuck

Even though I do agree supply and demand is a part of rising gas prices, there is also a lot of political BS involved. Another factor people dont look at it rising gas prices make North American oil more profitable. Our oil is generally harder to find and refine thus making it less profitable and more expensive to produce then Middle Eastern oil. So when prices rise North American oil is profitable.
