F... gas prices

In the summer, in Maryland, gas is required to have a certain additive (it's an anti-pollution measure). B/c of the additive is more costly AND has been limited in its production, gas prices will see an additional spike above the increased costs of oil.

On the Today show a while back a spokesman for a group of economist said they expected prices to cap out at 12-15 bucks. I find that high, but I bet the current price stays around. Supply and demand -- our lack of foresight is killing us once again. It seems like we never try to be proactive.

[QUOTE=Buster;449559]The Dems just voted one down LAST WEEK.

Idiots. They still claim "but it will take years to develop!"

That's MORE of a reason to start it NOW. If they HAD voted for it during the Clinton years, we'd be using that oil TODAY.

The real reason they won't vote for it because their campaigns are funded by environmentalists who oppose it and will stop writing checks if they do what's right for America.""

I will tell you and everyone now. Any one who votes against drilling in the states will not get my vote. I would think that running against someone voting again on shore drilling would not be too difficult. All one would have to do is run a commercial stating what your opponent has done about high gas prices and what you will do

Gas went from $3.85 on Wednesday to $4.02 on Friday. WTF I think it literally went up 3 times in one day.
I recall reading that, in VA at least, it can only go up once per day. The idea was to keep gas stations from implicitly colluding. I haven't verified there is a law on the books, though.

Vote for someone that will drill. Someone will run that will favor drilling.

get really pissed off about how much they all suck

Gas sucks. I drive a cab and my gas expenses more than double my rent!

I broke down and got my wife a horse.

buster, did you read that article? John McCain missed the vote, but said he would have voted against it, also. maybe its not just Dem's that have their campaigns funded by environmentalists?
Off shore drilling voted down today on a party line vote. We better get out there before the Cubans and Chinese.
