Because our government is full of dipshits that won't allow us to drill for our own oil, so we're paying out the *** to middle eastern countries for oil. Not trying to make this a political thread, but since we're at $130+ a barrel right now, that's just how it is.

f you didn't know, which I'm sure you do, we have a Oil Reserve to prevent a crisis like the Oil Embargo that happened eons ago. Was tapped into it during Gulf War and Katrina, but only slightly (2-5% of total reserve). Also, 1 million barrels of oil produces 32 million gallons of gas and diesel. Refiners acquire oil @ $2.40~/gal. They sell to wholesaler's @ $2.80~/gal, then they sell to retailers @ $3.65~/gal and we buy it @ $3.80~/gal. (As of May/08, prices are approximate). At the beginning of May a barrel cost $108.98, but Refiners only paid $100.80 according to the price/gal they buy it at. So that all equates to us paying way too damn much extra than we ever should.
Now, back to the reserve part : We currently have 704 million barrels of oil in the reserve, and haven't had a withdraw since Katrina. We consumer roughly 9.45 million barrels (396.4mil gal) of Gas/day. We can make 48.43gallons of product from the 42gallon barrel of crude oil, of which 51.4% of that is gas. So 25 gallons of gas and 7 gallons of diesel (among another grip load of usable products) per barrel of oil, hence that 35 above. So if they just borrowed 100 million barrels of oil, we'd get 3.5billion gallons of gas.
too many people want to save all the pretty flowers and animals so that makes gas expensive as ****...

Answer to gas prices. Hmm, can't do nothing with the big hedge fund dogs(merryll lynch and goldman sachs) running the price of oil and food up. If the Dollar gains ground price of oil will go down.

^^^^ that is exactley what the governments mindset is right now... they know that we need the gas and the diesel and that we will pay just about anything for it...that why gas is going up. Those bastards at opec are lining their pockets big time.
