I May Be DUMB,,,
But , Just how do these persons come up with the price of a gallon of gas, when the price of a barrell of oil only goes up 1.00.
Try to do the math and see what you come up with. There are to many Gas stations, Oil refineries, laborers, etc etc etc to make gas jump a nickel every time the price of ONE BARRELL of oil goes up. Am I making comon sense or should I just shut up and buy a Shwinn (sp)?? enough......... reeb.......

reeb,
When you do the math, keep in mind that a barrel of oil (unrefined) is 42 U.S. gallons. That 42 gallon barrel, when refined, yields about 19.5 U.S. gallons of raw gasoline. The raw gasoline must undergo further processing (alkylation - to adjust the octane rating, and blending - to adjust the vapor pressure and volatility) to be suitable for use in internal combustion engines.

The barrel price has a lot to do with the investors too.
The immediate solution to the "crunch," is nuclear. It's readily available, but people don't want it in their back yard, and understandably so. The wind industry is trying to work its way into this area. But any energy created by the system, would go into the grid anyway. There would be no real local benefit to the power created. So if we were to look at the alternatives, if the wind is calm and the wind turbine is doing nothing, that nuclear plant is still producing power. Which would you rather have? a nuclear plant that has a controlled type of fuel or a wind farm with no movement?

Show me the way to the nearest Nuk station where I can fill up. I am tired of paying $4.58 per/gal

Corner stations got it right
Went in there yesterday and walked to the girl in the building 'cause I didn't have any plastic with me. I told her that I wanted 5 buck$ worth. She puts the fin in the cash register, turns around, bends over and cuts a quite respectable fart.
Then she hands me the receipt and tells me to have a nice day. You just don't get much more courtesy than that these days.

What's wrong with that? Your car won't run on methane?
