Why is gasoline $2.39 a gallon for regular unleaded??????

Supply and demand???

That must be it....

we want them to supply us with the oil and they demand that we pay the price!

Dubai, figures they've got about 20 years of oil production left...they are constructing ISLANDS on their coast line in the shape of palm trees (viewed from the air) with golf courses, shopping malls, condos and ALL...1st and smallest ISLAND will accomodate 120,000 people...they wanna become financial hub and vacation destination...vacation in the Middle East?...not me, Bro!!!...

I have no interest in ever going there... but that really looks cool!

93, I agree. I'm staying right here in the US. I like skiing OUTDOORS.

That structure is pretty incredible. I don't want to get into why gas is so high, I am not smart enough to figure out all the nuances that contribute to it. What I want to know is, WHY DOES DIESEL COST MORE??????? It takes half the refining to produce diesel yet it costs more than premium...that my friends is price gouging and it sucks...LOL, every vehicle I own is diesel including a boat.

[Skools Out]

yeah that piss's me off too Diesel is killing me right now too. I've been driving the corvette ??? to save fuel cost.

[reelapeelin]

Deisle is so high now because US is gettin' so little of it...lots goin' to war effort and much more goin' to China than before...

....probably because we're all "addicted to oil" ::)

[JeffXJ]

No way man....I'm NOT addicted! >:( I can quit do'n oil anytime I want :P I just do it once in a while... for recreation....it's....uh....fun ::) BUT it's not a habit or anything like that.... ::)
