gas prices
ok this is crazy, i dont know why the goverment here doesent open some refineries, and give us a deal like in some latin american countries like venezuela, they are paying 12 cents a gallon in american dollars, so not a whole hell of alot, if it were like that here would cost me $4.50 to fill my truck instead of $160, i think i wanna move there. just look at some of these prices

I hear ya loud and clear. Something needs to be done, but the question is, what. The dont buy fuel for a day doesnt work.

What everyone should do is for a week, steal fuel haha.

Seriously I dont know what needs to be done, but something does. Consumers control the demand, so stuff is possible.

The price of gas is really starting to smart. I have noticed a decrease in traffic already this summer. I have also given a few customers a near heart attack when I tell them what the fuel surcharge is charged by the transport companies when quoting a freight rate.

Anyone else catch this?

Ive read that happening out east in the larger cities. Sad. Maybe the owner that gets his tank punctured should send their bill to a huge oil company!
