You still have lower gas prices than better than 90% of the world - and if Bushy was still president you'd likely be fighting more wars, disrupting more oil production, making the prices even higher, not only for you but the rest of the world. $4.73 US per US gallon for regular this morning, and not in Obama-land. |

You still have lower gas prices than better than 90% of the world - and if Bushy was still president you'd likely be fighting more wars, disrupting more oil production, making the prices even higher, not only for you but the rest of the world. ## And I care what the rest of the world pays because? True, we might be fighting more wars and killing more Mohammadens, but we'd have drilling in the Gulf, ANWAR, and downtown San Francisco (the purpose of the latter is to drive liberals nuts, not necessarily to find oil). $4.73 US per US gallon for regular this morning, and not in Obama-land. Wherever that is. In my part of "not-Obama-land" (Texas, it's about $3.15). Typical Yank stupidity - you don't give a crap about the rest of the world and you wonder why they hate your guts enough to send suicide bombers after you. $4.73 per US gallon in Central Ontario, Canada - about80 miles from Buffalo. |

Come on Clare - "the rest of the world" pays more for gas because of all of the taxes they load on a gallon of gas, to fund their social programs. Why should folks in the US care what people in Great Brittain or anywhere else pay - we don't benefit from those programs.

Maybe the US is responsible at least partly, but not for the reasons you're discussing. The US consumes the largest amount of oil in the world by almost 3x the amount of the second largest user which is China. I wonder hypothetically if the US stopped using oil altogether, would the glut of oil on the world market cause a price reduction by the other oil producing countries. http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/en...il-consumption |

Everytime I see comments about gas prices, I flashback to early sixties in Montreal when I was a kid. Gas prices were $0.30 a gallon, bus tickets were 7.1/2 cents and chocolate bars were 10 cents. Too bad we can't travel back, buy our gas and then flash forward. Of course it would be leaded gas, but that would be fine for the Shelby Cobra I'd have stowed away somewhere. :) |
