im not reading any of your retarded bullshit because I know im fucking right.
preach it
looks to me like you did read it and got owned and have nothing to say :greddy:
fine… give me a second to read all your :blah: and ill be back with a response.
gas prices won’t go back down. and if they do they won’t go back down to where they were pre hurricane.
Gas ISN’T subject to supply and demand the way other stuff is. Once they see they can sell all they can make at whatever ridiculous price it goes up to what incentive do they have to drop it back down.
It will drop because people will not be able to afford the hike forever. I would say $3 a gallon for 94 is goin to be about where it stands in the end
Couldnt be more wrong. I lean extreme right, if anything. And you DID notice that im agreeing with Bill O’Reilly, and we all know how much of a bleeding heart liberal he is… :ugh:
you go buy gas Monday night before the price goes up from the production drop as does everyone else(demand has to do with a given time not overall consumption). tuesday the gas prices go up for 2 reasons. 1. the tanks at stations are empty and they have to buy more gas which has risen in price from their wholesaler and 2. the increase is predicted to keep rising so some stations price gouge to make more off the first batch they got with the smallest increase.
you’re right. Demand does have to do with a given time. One afternoon is NOT a long enough time. Gas prices are going up because their wholesalers are charging them more? no fucking shit. reason 2 is price gouging? you’re probably right. Gas companies are greedy fucks.
granted the fact people all ran to the pumps in one day didn’t increase the cost of fuel almost a full dollar in 3 days but it sure didn’t help. if people would have just gotten gas when they needed it the lower prices would have stayed until the next shippment was bought by the station owners at the new cost.
right, but it would have went up the next fucking day then. big whoop. And the sudden rush to the pumps just made the cheap gas go faster. The expensive shipments were coming regardless. The rush had nothing to do with it.
Demand is simple economics Mike. if you are a station owner you try to lock in the lowest price you can, but when every station is ordering at the same time the price jumps because the demand of the refinerys has risen with the gas bought by people because station owners have to refill their ground tanks at the same time.
the price was already pre-fucking-determined before those orders were put in. Regardles of whether or not all the orders came at the same time. And now that everyone has a full tank of gas, will the price suddenly drop back to normal now that the little rush is over? no.
It really isn’t a hard concept. The president has little to do with all this infact his hands are tied until the consumer stops driving or the refineries start up again. he uncapped a million barrels today from the reserve but how long will that last? 2 days or less with the holiday weekend. I saw a study today if we uncapped all the reserves in the country the government would have zero petrolium in under 3 weeks with driving patterns the staying the same and the price would drop maybe 20 cents tops if not less. I do agree mike that President Bush should cap the prices but at this point they need to save human lives and restore order in the NO so give it a week or 2 so the city can be secured then talk about gas prices
The president cant handle more than one fucking thing at a time? It not like he’s down there with a bucket trying to empty out the city of new orleans by himself.
all in all when the refineries start again we can look to see gas going back down but we are just goin to have to deal with it until then. there is very little ANYONE can do at this point unless the saudis get real friendly and lower prices.
you’re absolutely right. As soon as the refineries start back up gas will go back down. Because this is a SUPPLY BASED INCREASE!
like you said, simple fucking economics. :slap:
all I did was say what sonny said the whole way through the thread in different terms so this is a big post whoring thread.
you are right the prices wouldn’t drop right away but more people would have gotten to fill up before the price hike and the 10 cents or so the rush to the pump made the price jump would have come off the top.
american people tend to believe everything the news gives them. if you want to be informed you have to dig for info yourself. you and I have different veiws but at least have something substaintial to back it up with as did sonny earlier.
either way demand rose then settled to normal and supply dropped dramaticly increasing the price. both factor in so you and sonny are both right
not reading it. dont care.
i hope gas goes to ten fucking dollars and i never have to see another SUV on the road.
have a nice night go smoke a blunt, blow a OC and “stimulate your mind”
FAG
dont feel like twisting a blunt, but I’ve been hitting up the old bong for the last hour. Amazing how I can be high and still verbally own your ass, isnt it?

it’s always an easy victory when you’re dueling with an unarmed opponent…

that shit i’ve been selling you? it’s laced with stem cells… stem cells from aborted fetuses… after i’ve raped each one of them.

How many lbs of fuel does it take for 1 hour of operation in those helicopters?
You do realize that those things suck down gas by the hour and I’m talking hundreds of lbs of Jet A. Hovering uses even more fuel than flying strait So if you are hovering for 1 hour you are using a shit load more than flying point a to point B. then just becuase they have a XX size tank doesn’t mean they can fill up fully and go due to weight and balances. Thus meaning more take offs and landings which again uses more fule than point a to point b flying.
They don’t go to the local exxon once a week with a chinook, fly around and have a MPH rating.
Also how hard is this to understand?
The gas stations only have so big of a tank. That tank has to last till next delivery. If people flood it and drain the tank before the next shipment then DEMAND has gone up, thus the price follows suit.
If you read some of these gas stations went though 4000 gallons of gas in 45 min when they usually dispense 3000 in ONE DAY.
Now if there is a delay in delivery to the stations it is of even more concern.
Yes there isn’t less oil, but it isn;t able to be delivered to the facilitys making a temporary Distribution shortage.

One will affect the other but they are NOT the same.
Gas stations supply gas. If people want it and they want it NOW that is demand, If the stations can’t keep up with DEMAND, then the limited quantities they have at the [b]TIME make the prices go up.
