Sorry but I feel like saying "BUSH SUCKS ***" ooops already said it.

What do gas prices and troops in Iraq have in common??? One has to do with oil rigs being competely wiped out in the gulf, and the other is the war on terrorists...Bush has called for the oil reserves to open up and for the EPA to be lax on the refiners so they can produce more, to help bring down prices. STFU You are an idiot.

My mother in law called me and said she felt stupid, but could I go to the parts store and get her a locking gas cap for her F150. I laughed, then thought about it a minute and now I'm going to the store to get a locking gas cap for her, and for my Z and my Tahoe. Why not, I'm glad she thought of it.

If you look at the price of crude today, it's down to $68.xx per barrel. It was over $70. Give it some time, don't be so quick to assign blame to one person who really doesn't have THAT much control over what has happened. Gas prices will soon follow and slowly ease back down (to what i don't know).

saw $3.20 this morning for gas

by the way, before Bush haters come in.. The President is just a spokesperson for a party. As most of you have gotten a formal education (I assume that) you KNOW that Presidents have little power. Bush has NO control over the economy........

You're right, but I'd rather pay $20/ gallon here than get free gas in Iraq.

After reading the locking gas cap post i forgot what i wanted to say...ha ha ha. I am going to send an email out to my address book b/c that is probably the best idea i have heard in a long time.

Oh yeah...there are people that are saying that Bush is in Iraq for oil not for peace or terrorism or whatever, and then people say that it isn't oil blah blah. I say that we go own that place and take all their oil. What are they going to do about it, we are THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, who is going to stop us.

Just wanted to get that out, sounded kinda fun in my head.

Honestly, i am just kidding, that would be errrrrr...wrong, but a little part of me really does want that to happen if it would get gas prices down.

Thats what Iwas talking about. It would be nice. Oh yeah and when gas prices do go down, let me know. Cause like I said they are up and riding high, theres no way there going down any time soon. Even though I want them too.

THANK YOU!!! It's about time someone posted that!!!!!!! Idiots that just love to blame GW on the price of gas. It's the same idiots that blame OPEC. The problem is a SUPPLY AND REFINERY CAPACITY PROBLEM. The pipelines that supply certain areas don't have electricity to pump the fuel. The refineries in the gulf area are shutdown; they are flooded and don't have electricity. I work for Chevron - I know the situation and it's not good.

$3.20QUOTE]


That's bad, but I saw a place on Bissonet, and Randals in Katy selling for 3.51 a gollon. And in seeing distance, probably about 150 yds away, there was gas for less than 3.00 a gallon for i think all three grades.

Hey, I know everyone is mad/upset about this as I am too, although, I heard that in GA it is around $6.00/gallon. It could be a lot worse here, maybe that just means we have to take a small break from driving our F-Bodies/Racing since they only run right on supreme. In the last few days I have learned to step back and take myself out of the circle or it will really get to you. You could be like all those thousands of people and only have your car and the clothes on your back - then how would you feel about life? I love to drive my car, but it is staying in the garage for a few days!!
