    Default OPEC is ripping us off....

    I feel like OPEC has shoved an oil pipe up my butt and is drilling me. This is nothing but greed, which the big oil companies are big players. Why do we give these greedy pinheads tax breaks and incentives? Your opinion?

    Actually its called "Drill Stem" I have read all comments on this and other foreums, we gettin it put to us.
    I believe the old law of "supply & Demand" can and will work, we as consumers must cut back on our Demand. Im sure we all heard if we stop purshasing fuel for 1 day or even 2 days it will have some effect, weel lets try it.

    Thumbs down Greed...! Bass - terds!!!

    Gas is $2.55 a gallon here right now for the cheap stuff! This sucks. Don't the oil barrons realize they are killing America's small business's? Just keep killing off free enterprise with your rediculous greed! When the little die off, or suffer horrible difficulties, so will the large...eventually! Talk about killing the incentive to buy America's gas guzzling, profit raising SUV market. Look at what is happening to GM right now. It is surely related. Good job guys!

    My attempt to fight this is to just put $5 in at a time into my car. It requires way more stops at the pumps, but I will continue to do this until prices get realistic again. If everyone did the same thing, the gas consumption and demand will appear to be taking a significant nose dive to the thieves controlling oil prices.

    I am done ranting, but I sure wish we were ALL done being raped by the oil barrons!

    OPEC? I heard on the news that our major oil companies are reporting huge profits. If it was OPEC id think the profit margin across the board four oil companies would be fairly constant, no matter what OPEC charged for oil. Its our own greedy people thats sticking it to us in a huge way.
    listen with your eyes---its the only way to beleive what you hear...

    OPEC sure is sticking it to us---but when they put gasoline on the board of trade in 1983 ,we are seeing very few traders controling the price and lining their pockets with unheard profits

    What the hell did you think would happen when when two oil men were put in the White House? Anybody who voted for these two thugs are getting everything they deserve.- Roberta

    Thanks, that was nice Like there was a choice. Either be sold out
    to big business with the Republicans, or to the whacko left with the Dems...
    I guess I'd rather pay $5.00 a gallon if need be than put up with having
    to see T. Heinz-Kerry on TV anymore than I already have.

    I voted for those two thugs and would do it again if I had to pick between the same two. I am not happy with gas prices, as a matter of fact I am mad as H3!!, but do you really believe gas would be cheaper with Mr Heinz I mean Kerry.
