    Remember the good ole days when a gallon of gas was $1.60 when Bush left office? Keep closing those refineries Obama. November can't get here soon enough.

    Me too. I also remember how it lowered back down under Bush too. Shame we haven't been able to say the same about Herr Obama.

    Obama wants you to believe the rising price for gas is the result of a growing economy!

    China buy more oil -> oil prices increase 10-20% to spur increased production.

    Speculators see demand for oil go up, buy oil futures on 3% margin creating demand for oil furtures, oil prices increase 500-1000%

    Well that's all we heard for 2 years when prices went up under Bush? The same rules don't apply anymore? Even with Obama shutting down and refusing drilling, refineries, pipelines, etc? Interesting.

    Yep. that's a result of high gas prices, taxing cows, plus the idiot liberals that had the grand idea of turning food into fuel. How'd that work out BTW? That's a rhetorical question. They won't answer.

    When I was a kid I pumped gas @ 28 cents a gallon. I had to wash your windshield, ask to check your oil, water, and air pressure or else your gas came out of my pocket. Years later when gas was 65 cents a gallon, my big block 67 Mustang got 7 mpg with 650 Holley and 4.10 rear. :shocked:

    And there was outrage then from the left...where is your outrage now?

    It did come down also under Bush. It has not been below $3/gallon for about 2 years now.

    Diesel's $5 a gallon here. The big truck gets about 5 miles to the gallon. And people complain when I charge mileage.

    I'm sorry, but are you still under the illusion that presidents determine the gas prices? :shocked:
