I would like to get out and do some photography, but I can't afford gasoline for my truck. A fill-up costs $70-80.
You've got to really feel bad for the large oil companies. Their quarterly profits are only in the 10's of BILLIONS $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. I don't know how they keep their doors open.

Gas prices are a load of crap. And if I see one more oil executive mention how gas is $6-$8 per gallon in Europe I will go nuts and start mailing rotten fish to CEO's!

Prophet out.

My son and daughter-in-law both came out of their house in Austin last week to find both their cars had been siphoned dry - just after they both filled up! Bad!

The news media keeps playing along with.., reduced capacity, high demand, etc. causing the prices to go up.

I don't see people waiting for gas due to short supply. Do you?

Guess who the 'investigative reporters' won't be investigating...

Not that I am a big oil defender, far from it, but let's remember that their profit margin isn't any greater than any other big corporations out there.
