I am waiting for the day someone makes a solar powered vehicle and the government figures out a way to charge us for the sun! I'm sure they'll find a way.
Also, Obama wanting to tax the profits of companies like Exxon is stupid. You think that they won't raise their prices just to keep the same profit levels coming in? The shareholders love the return on their investment and they won't give that up. They'll vote to raise prices hire wich means we'll pay more.
Its time to stop all the talk about taxes and actually address the issue, we are too dependant on oil and other solutions must be found.
Thy are even paying less than us in Cailifornia. In the central valley you can get gas for as little as $3.99 that is ridiculous. Especailly when their state tax on fuel is higher. I'm sure they aren't sitting and loosing money.
Our water is going down there as well so why not the oil as well.
Don't blindly vote for Democrats either. Instead look at each candidate carefully before casting your vote rather than just defaulting to the Republican vote. In the meantime, think back...when has a Republican administration EVER done you any favors (unless, of course, you're a big greedy corporation with highly paid lobbyists)?
They are lying to us and they know it.
Thank you radical environmentalists for #1 and #2. Thank you Republicans for #3 and #4. And if you vote for Democrats you get more #1 and #2.
I've got you coming and going.
Filled up in St George at Smiths with the 10 cent discount for $4.09 a gallon.
then at topaz lake Nv for $4.15 a gallon. This was cheap considering I had just seen $5.59 in Calif along Hwy-395
It dropped to $4.06 a litle further to the north.
Filled up for $4.09 in Sacramento.
$4.39 in Barstow, CA and $3.83 in Phoenix, AZ
Go figure....

A thought. Perhaps the Exxon/Mobil execs should be running for president. Seems they know how to make money, record money on a 4% profit....
beats Apple's gouging of consumers and most other industries with higher profit margins.
Dn't let the political double talk fool you. The fed tax on gas is HIGHER then the profit margin for Exxon.
With family in the retail gas business, I can assure you that it is the refiners and suppliers that are lining their pockets, not the retail establishments.
I'm still looking for that gas that's only 15 cents more expensive than Las Vegas.
Just what did you expect when you elected two oil men for President and Vice President with the highest approval ratings in the election?
Let's see it has been so long but wasn't gas about $1.48 a gallon when Bush took office?
Our dear friends from the GOP say the price of oil is not manipulated. Oh will it be just a coincidence that the price will go down about a month before the election? After the election it will zoom up. Placate the ignorant masses.
Our dear friends will write in and say the President has nothing to do with the price of gas.
His current war in Iraq and each time he threatens military action in Iran sends the price of oil skyrocketing. I believe the oil speculators call it uncertainty in the political situation in the middle east.
Our currency is debased by his wild borrowing to support his war in Iraq. As of the end of July it was 648 billion dollars on the tab.
I hope you enjoy paying interest to other countries.
$3.79 / gas
So what's the difference between the local, city, state tax that Nevada is imposing on a gal of gas as opposed to Utah?
I'm SOOOO tired of hearing how Bush and his 'oil buddies' are controlling the oil price.
One question: how?
When you answer that, I'll listen.
Otherwise, go find a derick to hide under.
So these guys have to buy their gas from a distributor. When they buy high, they immediately pass that along - btw, they make pennies - PENNIES - on a gal of gas.
So when they can buy it cheaper, the lower cost is not immediately passed along - I think they want to make a little more on the down side. There's an economic term for this, but can't remember off the top of my head.
"The sad thing, is how the oil companies have driven up the prices so high for so long we have become acclimated to it all. Than when we see gas below $4 a gallon we think we are getting a deal, when in reality we are still getting robbed."
That was the plan all along. It always works.
The good side is that everybody will get back in their cars and the economy will begin to hum again... At just under $4/gal.
Look for opportunities, not government intervention. Buy more stock in Exxon if you think it will continue to make money. Isn't complaining about an extra $4 a tank just as greedy as a business trying to increase profits for stockholders?
By the way, over 70% of what you pay at the pump goes to tax, be it state or federal, so careful where you point the blame. Those dirty oil companies profiting from thier business. Heaven forbid.
