Quote from limitdown:
$1.79 unleaded gasoline is the current and true price of refined gasoline products, not the plus $3 (three dollar) figures being quoted on the west coast and in Las Vegas area currently.
Why is it that the Oil Administration that is in control continues to strangle the very last dollar from the American consumer?
Why is it that they are allowed to?
Why was it that under the Clinton Administration, policies to prevent these conditions were openly embraced and are rejected and have been for the last seven years?
Import refined gasoline and diesel products!
That along with other market stabalizing import / export policies were used.
Open the gates and watch these artificially high, propped up Oil prices (refined and unrefined) collapse back to their market levels.
The other countries are holding their collective breathe with the conditions that exist here in the US.
Artificial conditions, at that.
If the socialist oil company hating politicians of europe are so great, why are their gas prices triple ours?
