liberty,

the only way to get people to conserve is to let the price run(UP!)---you can't regulate conservation.

The gas they are selling in China is actually under market price, that means they are losing money for every gallon of gas they sold. This is due to the old laws in China that restricting the market price on the gas.

I don't know if this is good or bad.

WE have so much oil here in the U.S. between Anwar and off the FL coast alone. Maybe if the tree huggers let us drill for the billions of barrels of oil we have in the U.S., we wouldn't have to deal with OPEC. I think until we as Americans stand up to these Politicians and tell them, "We have our own Oil, Let start Drilling!" We are Pee-Ons to OPEC Scum. Oh and by the way, the "War for Oil" and "Code Pink" people would have to find a new slogan.

That chart looks like it's about a year old based on some of the US prices....

This kinda points out the problem with gallon by gallon comparison of prices. It doesn't equalize the real cost to the consumer because in some countries it is subsidized and therefore lower or in other countries, highly taxed (to support their social programs?) so the at the pump price can include many confusing factors.
We actually pay more for gas than what you see at the pump because some of your tax dollars go to "oil depletion allowance" some to ETOH programs and on and on. These costs are "indirect" and don't show up in a pump to pump comparison.

It is interesting to note that the Western countries have tagged a lot of costs onto the pump price whereas the "third world" regimes are cheap. The ones who claim we are irresponsibly ruining the ecosystem with our industry have no problem burning as much gas as they want. And provide it cheap, to themselves.

I would imagine it costs just as much to pump it out of the ground in the US as it does in Russia or Saudi Arabia. But I can guarrantee, after a western government gets their piece, it will cost lot's more at the pump.

All that oil in Anwar or offshore off California will cost as much at the pump as the stuff from Venezuella, Mexico or Kuwait. 'Cause we are a "world" market.

Yeah, that explains it completely.

The reason it's so much more to us than in the middle east is because it has to be shipped here. They don't have to go thru all that crap. It's already there. And i tell you what, I have never seen a long line at the pump here like I saw when i was there. We all want the gas to go down but as long as we can't drill here, the government keeps raising the taxes, and people keep buying into this global warming crap coming from a guy who earned a greatly deserved D in Natural Sciences, and only a C plus in another low level Natural Sciences, we are screwed.

And with the 3 stooges we have running for pres' we are waist deep and sinking in crap.

Canada and Mexico are our two biggest oil importers and most of the oil coming from those two countries travels a shorter distance to the US refineries then would oil from ANWAR. Drilling in ANWAR would reduce gas prices by about 5 cents a gallon, not to mention it would take about a decade before this oil would hit the market. The growing number of drivers in China and India will exponentially outpace any additional oil that we find here at home. The tree huggers aren't the problem. It's the oil companies and Detroit automakers that convinced Americans that they should drive trucks and SUVs, so that they could make huge profits. So, now we're paying the price. That's how it goes. The US should have seriously started working on alternative fuels many, many years ago and then this wouldn't have been so damned painful. We still have it good here. Just got back from Paris, where gas is over 9 bucks a gallon now!

And as far as global warming goes, I guess the thousands of leading climatologists around the world are all full of ****. Yeah, I'm sure they're all wrong. Yes, I've thought about it now, I know far more than they do. What a bunch of dumb asses they are.
