Why is gas so F*#CK!NG expensive?????? Somebody has to have an explanation for why gas is so fricken expensive ($3.99/gallon for regular in G.R. michigan). There is no reason, in my mind, good enough for gas to more than double in price over a 3 year span.

Anybody have any ideas why it%26#039;s so bad?

Ok, I don%26#039;t care how much gas costs in England...I am just curious why it costs so much here.

FYI---Exxon/Mobil profited approximately 4.6 million dollars every hour of every day last year. Simply put, that%26#039;s a bunch of BULL$H!T

The super rich Arab oil sheiks are now able to take there oil money and drive the price of oil up.
This gives them more money to drive the price even higher.

it is called market manipulation.

plus because it is outside the US they can use insider information. and market control to drive the market higher.

its like playing cards with a marked deck.
and unlimited money.
theres no way they can lose.

I agree gas is very expensive, we need to; get alternative fuels
and why is it so difficult and expensive to get an alternative fuel vehicle. Should we invest in Oil stock and try to make some money, to cover the expensive fuel price...............

its the same here in canada ($1.32/litre), and my honey works in the oil feild and it is so busy they cant keep up, so supply here isnt low... its BS the goverment %26amp; oil companies are makin huge bucks right now and we are suffering

Liberals are preventing the US from drilling for our own oil off the coasts and up in ANWR.

This keeps supply low, and when supply is low and demand high, prices will rise.

Supply is pinched because the oil companies are not allowed to build new refineries or explore for more oil. The price is forced up to keep supply from running short.

Think yourself lucky. In england it%26#039;s about £6 ($12) a gallon.

The main reason is rising demand from Asia, which drives up worldwide crude prices.

This is something you need to ask Bush!!!

we are running out of gas

because we are willing to pay it...it really is that simple.
