Gas, #1 US export

We live in a global economy. I think it would be difficult, and wrong, if we didn't supply globally. It would be very difficult to say we are only going to supply to the U.S. market, and, it would help screw up world markets. One thing is for sure, the higher the supply globally, the lower the price. I say "drill, drill, drill".

I would be curious to were they got thier sources. Several statements are not excactly accurate.

Could also be viewed as how oil companies keep our employment up. Somebody must be working in those refineries.

If you could have robots rebuild trannys so would you too. Lol

Eric....Keep in mind that the "Lefties" in Europe tax the begeesus out of poor ole Kristof on his fuel....and everything else for that matter.

So, the price of oil may be the same in Europe, but, by the time it gets to the pump, they are paying our their arses for it. Obama would LOVE to do the same thing over here as he hates the petrol industry. If he gets re-elected, you will have to learn how to repair boats that run on solar panels .

Since it is highly unlikely that anyone here literally goes a minute or more without using or coming in contact with something that has come from the petroleum industry, I cannot think of a better industry to support and to improve upon. Unless we as a nation revert back to grass huts we will always have a need for oil. Who's first?......Thought so.

brazil doesnt need oil, strange thing is their economy is booming, here i thought you guys were going to say because of Iraq, the price of our oil is cheap. in hindsight it should be about .10 a gallon

what about scooters findings, or she was the one outed and her old man was the inspector, im more terrified now then i have been my entire life...
omh paaleeeease, with the towers, economic terrorism.....it was a war for inside traders my friend, i rather believe a conspiracy than that bull*************** you get fed on the tv....did you forget, 26 men got the job done?

I have, Ohlahoma........is that the bible belt?

My first few diesels fuel was much less than gas, and mpg was greater. Then $.20 more everytime I filled up until it got to be $.60 - $.80 more and mpg got worse. Now I have to add Pig Urine which makes my fuel costs about another $20.00 per 3,000 miles and mpg is in the middle. They haven't done to diesel anything but remove the lubrication benefits. Why the high costs?

here is a theory.
We tend to think relatively, so now that deisel has is higher than gas it has gone up and gas has not. Well they both went up, deisel just went up more. Many are touting refinery efficiencies and decreased demand of gasoline have actually kept the price of gas lower than it could have gone. So maybe its just that gas went up less. Diesel main consumption is freight vehicle and farm equipment which is a more consistent demand than consumer demand on gas. So that could be a reason.
Maybe someone can do some research and give us an informed decision, I have wondered why this is myself before. I dont have a diesel vehicle so I never really looked into it.

Actually they are desperate for it. And apparently we are too. The cuurent administration has paid billions to Brazil to teach our and develop their production process so that we may be one of their best customers!
