Do you really think $3.50/gallon gasoline is acceptable?
If we have such a surplus of gas in the US, it should cost less. Charge the offshore bastards more.
We owe them nothing.
Why do investors in oil companies owe you a price discounted below the market rate?
Is that the type of company you invest in for your retirement? Why do you think of those resources they paid for belonging to you? Why should my minerial lease and investment give you a discount?
I will say this...if gas was $1.50 a gallon, every illegal with a hooptie would be cruising 24/7.
There is some value in limiting the mobility of the lower echelons of society, LOL.
