Is it pure greed that gas goes up fast but falls so slowly?
Why is it that when oil drops by or more a barrel the gas prices barely come down. The gas station owners claim that they have "too much supply". Yet when there is even a threat of a hurricane, or a maintenance issue at a oil rig or derrick gas prices jump immediately. Why is this supply suddenly "gone"?
Is this greed on the part of the big oil companies, the local gas stations, or is some kind of collusion going on? Isn’t price fixing illegal?
How come hurricanes didn’t have a major impact on gas prices 10 or 20 years ago? How many people will freeze this winter?

pure greed… that’s what capitalism is all about…
greed is the gas that fuels the engine of capitalism… with out it… it wouldn’t work…
Our enemies set the price of oil. If you have something someone else needs, even if they have their own sitting in the ground in Alaska, you can charge whatever the heck you want to. Supply and demand, they have, they demand whatever they want.
ill excuse your ignorance of supply and demand and chalk it up to youthful naiveness.
It is pure selfish greed from the big oil companies and the local gas stations.
it’s called supply and demand… a little of it is greed, but mostly supply and demand.
Definatly, It goes up to $4.07 in New York then after a period of 3-6 months it manages to go down to $3.60, then in a period of 1-2 months quickly shoots back up to $3.85-$4.05 again! It’s nuts! To get a smaller car for less gas, it’s not really that safe, but to have a bigger, safer car, gas is $60-$80 for 1 full tank.
yes. sorry, i don’t care how much taxes the oil companies pay or how much the spent on r & d, they still report record profits. so it is nothing but greed & they are screwing the country. as for "speculators", i’d speculate lower fuel prices if we made an example of a few of them or there were less of them. they are the ones who are "anti-America".
Country first my *ss!
