yea. I think the biggest hurt is because we are exporteing alot of gas and diesel over to iraq, which is CRAP! we shouldve been out of there 2 years ago.
but anyway, gas here in West Columbia(south of houston) is $3.75 for 87 and $4.69 for diesel.
up around Hobby Airport i saw $3.89/$3.99. its RIDICULOUS!!
As long as the overpaid oil company execs and their shareholders are happy they certainly don't give a crap. I just wish they would use some of their profits to clean up the mess they left from drilling in South Louisiana way back in the 50's and 60's.

There are many reasons why the prices are increasing. There is greater demand worldwide. China, Russia, and India have exploding economies and everyone there wants a car. Diesel is cheaper to produce than gasoline but is more expensive because there is greater worldwide demand for it. OPEC has the world by the balls. If the price of oil per barrel is too low they will decrease production and the price goes up. The production of oil has not kept up with rising demand. I live down the road from the Conoco and Citgo refineries and the price of gas is still $3.80.

they dont necassarily make the gas there, just stages of it. my dad works for Conoco-Philips in Sweeny, TX, and gas is still $3.75 @ the valero right next to the gate. it still has to be worked from the refineries before it is turned into gas. if it held true gasoline in tanks there, it would be nowhere near a town or community, WAY too dangerous
im hearing so damn many rumours on what the price of gas will be by the end of the summer it almost makes me sick.i looked aound today and in the new orleans area its average 3.79 outside the city and diesel is around 4.59 outside the city.around the airport is around 3.89 and 4.79 diesel.i sure am glad i decided against buying a f250 i almost took the plunge last november.im up to 100 bucks a tank in my f150.my wifes edge is getting up there too.the pumps keep kicking me off at 75 bucks.anyone else have that happen.after 75 bucks i have to run my card again to fill up another 25 bucks.also i heard gas would be 5 dollars a gallon and i have even heard 8.i have no idea where that came from though.i almost cant afford to work.its a damn shame this country is starting to crawl what the hell.im sorry for the rant guys im sure im not the only one thats pissed off about this subject.
