Energy companies are posting record profits. This is common knowledge.
They'll use ANYTHING as an excuse to raise the price of oil. A king in
Saudia Arabia dies. We should raise oil prices all over the world. There's a
hurricane PREDICTED to hit the Gulf of Mexico. We should raise oil prices.
You can drive by a gas station on your way to work one morning and on your
way home that same station's gas is ten cents higher per gallon. Same gas in
the underground tanks! :-( Amazing.
If people would stop buying energy/oil companies' stocks, and also start
unloading what they have you'd see gas prices come tumbling down. But it
will never happen because too many people are making big bucks on energy/oil
companies' stocks. No win situation for now.

The explanation at that link does not exactly apply to the current
situation, particularly the part about "Where the Money Goes". Profits are
obscenely higher than 13% for the Oil companies, and the Arabs. Pauls
explanation is exactly correct. We thought we were in a bad way when OPEC
was controlling the price. We didn't know when we were well off. OPEC
certainly could make it higher if they chose to, but they can no longer make
it drop significantly, no matter how much they increase production. The
traders and speculators are currently controlling that, and probably will
for the forseeable future as manufacturing in the third world continues to
grow. There is no shortage in the short term, but there is a large increase
in demand.

damned right it's not applicable. the "crack ", or the difference
between crude & refined fuel, is currently up near 20%. that's scary
high and a far cry from more traditional values at around 5%. add to
that all the monkey business about reducing calorific values and
refineries mysteriously coming off line just like power stations in the
middle of the california "electricity crisis", and you have an
interesting picture indeed.

Re: Gas prices
Why charge 50 cents a gallon for gas when people will pay $5.00 for it?
plan and simple. The market will always go up for gasoline.
Right now in the middle east you can buy gasoline right from the cows
nipple, and it will only cost you say 0.13 (cents) usd for a gallon.
American's still buy expensive cars, drive big *** SCHOOL bus looking
SUV's, and because of it the rest of us have to suffer as you might
want to say.
We as people need to tell our government, this is enough!

Investors will not be selling their energy company shares any time soon so
you can disabuse yourself of that notion. The way to bring down gasoline and
diesel prices is to decrease the consumer's demand. The way to do that is
for everyone to drive dinky little cars with 3 cylinder 900cc engines and to
make airplane flight illegal except in emergency (whatever the bureaucrats
determine that to be). It didn't require the help of Nostradamus to envision
today's energy reality after the attacks of 9/11. I dumped my gas-guzzler
and purchased a Civic 5-speed soon after that. It also can't hurt to keep
some 5 gallon cans around to purchase gasoline on the days when the price is
relatively low (don't leave them near the operating gas grill). I endured
waiting in 1974 for gas in my '71 Cutlass 350 and vowed to never do that
again. Recently the gas lines were a mile long in Pensacola before hurricane
Dennis. DejaVu all over again.........

Because there's a faction of Americans that don't want them built and
don't want us drilling for oil in the US.

Of course gas and diesel is only a portion of where the oil goes.
Maybe you can stop buying products made out of plastic and fill your
crankcase and transmission with corn oil as well...
