News in middle east is bad, price for APRIL Crude goes up.  Price for
gas goes up immediately.

Saudi Arabia increases production to lower prices.  Oil companies
don't lower prices of gas immediately.    

Thieves.

Market forces. Unfortunately, that is the way it is. The oil companies
are not in business to give you the lowest prices. They are in business

There is nothing to apologize for. If you don't like it, don't buy their
products.

If you don't like it ride a bike... err, no place to ride a bike.

Fuck!

In NYC, there are plenty of places to ride a bike. Or one can take a

Re: More proof oil companies are ripping us off


Yeah, NYC, the American dream for every other city out there. What do
we do if we don't live in NYC?

Do they have bike facilities though? I believe London is far more
advanced in every aspect. Let's talk about it.

There are some bike facilities, but not enough. It's amazing how higher
gas prices encourages people to save gas, including riding bikes in good
weather.

People who don't live in places with good transportation are, as they
say, poop out of luck.

Except of course, they're not paying american taxes while they're
taking american subsidies.  Suck big oil dick, dr Jeff.  You know you
like it.

Nice personal attack.

They are playing by the rules set up by us, the American people. That's
our fault, not theirs. If you don't like, rather than insult people,
write your Representative and Senators.

Hey, this getting interesting.

We are being ground down in unlikely places such as in Iraq, and now
they too want their own revolution.

Re: More proof oil companies are ripping us off


It's more the fault of speculators, not the oil companies. There is no
longer any direct connection between supply in demand. Hasn't been in many
years.

Prove that it is speculators. I totally agree that oil speculation
should be banned. But, that doesn't mean that speculators have anything
to do with the increase in the price oil.

Re: More proof oil companies are ripping us off


Why do think speculation should be banned if you also doubt that speculators
have nothing to do with the price of oil?

Because speculators add nothing. People who buy stocks of companies add

No need for insults.

Re: More proof oil companies are ripping us off


True, but you still claimed that they have nothing to do with the price of
oil. There's not an investment expert on the planet who agrees with you, so
how about sharing the secret information they haven't discovered yet?

I don't have any.

Nonetheless, you have yet to show that the recent increase in oil prices
is because of speculators.

Jeff

Re: More proof oil companies are ripping us off


Maybe you're right. Are you saying that speculators did not affect only THIS
MOST RECENT increase in oil prices, but that they may have affected previous
increases?

All I am saying is that people have made the claim that speculators are
affecting oil prices. However, I have yet to see good evidence to back
these claims.
