The oil giants are getting cheaper oil but we're getting screwed with more expensive gas.<BR/><BR/>Now I'm not an expert on oil or gas pricing but I can't imagine a single reason for the jump in gas prices (not even the "scare" of Iran) except to make these companies more money.<BR/><BR/>And I blame it on all of Washington -- not a single party. You seem to be specific on your mantra of impeaching President Bush. Open your eyes and realize that your Democratic party aren't saints.<BR/><BR/>I would like to point out however that it is a majority of Democrats AND some Republicans who refuse to let us drill in the ANWR province and/or off in the Gulf. And before anyone comments that they don't want oil drilling platforms off the coast of their state -- when was the last time you were able to see something 125 miles out in the gulf?? With this gas/oil "crisis" let's at least start getting our oil from at home and not overseas.Joseph R. Gruberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760540685334538728noreply@blogger.com
