It's not just "W", I read an article in PM magazine about our oil reserves,
ther is more than we really know what to do with, tree huggers just
won't let us get it, they also won't let us build new refineries.

I also read an article were the oil minister of Venezuela just made a statement that
a barrel of oil will not be sold below $90 and it is the fault of the U.S. economy:

It has nothing to do with Bush, and everything to do with the US's unwillingness to become energy self-sufficient. We won't allow new refineries to be built. We aren't willing to tap into our own oil deposits in the ANWR and off our coastlines. We waste fuel.

The reason for this is WWII. The government realised the need to be self sufficient during a global crisis.
I don't like buying foreign oil or having ours preserved for something that might never happen, but you never know.

I think I will end up on a sailboat, gas prices are getting beyond the regular salary guys like me. Power boat prices are under water now, it is very easy to buy, but very hard to sell any power boat around here, but still, we had around 300-400 boats in the area this Sunday. Boaters always find a way to afford a great boating day.
By the way, gas here is around 92 cents per liter today.

being a finance and economics major im so sick and tired of people blaming the president for high gas prices. come on do you honestly think one person has enough power to controll the price of somthing that is traded on a futures market. yes predicting prices sounds crazy doesnt it. also how does someone expect to get crude cheap from over seas when it takes 1.60 dollars us to make 1 euro dollar. think about it if it were a 1:1 like it was in the 90's we would be paying 75 a barrel. wow gas would be under 2.75 a gallon. now if we would start using only our oil and not the foreign crap then you would see a price drop. hate W for what ever reason you want, trust me i sat that last two elections out becuase i didnt want to vote for him. its more than meets the eye.
