I would sure like to know what gas prices are going to do over the next couple of years. I’d like to get a chevy 2500hd but if gas gets up to 3 a gallon like they say it will this summer 12 mpg is going to hurt. ---

im damn glad my integra gets 32mpg still even though its a pile of shit… I didnt check on 51, but I know at the bp in donora on 51 premium was up to 1.95… only time… then im guessing it will plumet right before election time so good ole bush can say he killed off the gas prices. ---

> _Originally posted by slowcamaro_ > **what does the gas prices have to do with the government…** > > > > **its the OPEC cartel that runs the prices of oil** Well right now we are resupplying the strategic oil reserves and this has driven the price of crude up $8 a gallon accoring to some experts. Some government officials want to temporarily stop the refilling of the reserve which is currently at 93% full but Bush wants to continue to fill it. I don’t like bush but I don’t really have an opinion on this aspect of his policy. I have the chart shown here and would like to point out some things. the huge price increase we are currently on started whenever bush decided to refill the strategic reserve so the government did have something to do with this. Also the strategic reserve does need to be full so we can use it strategically. Also if you will remember back gas prices before 9/11 were never more than 1.30-1.40 for regular even though the crude prices were higher than they currently are now. The main reason for the gasoline prices right now are american and european owned refineries and their price gougeing and or lack of production produced by bush’s clean air act shutting down some refineries because of environmental reasons. ---
