trying to tie the inflation rate to the cost of energy is not realistic. after 45 years have we gained any efficiencies in drilling? any synergies at all? the reason the price is climbing is political not based on inflation. it is OK if you lie to yourself, but no need to lie to the rest of us.Originally Posted by zeus3925

Your first sentence says it all. Refinery's are idle. Plenty of oil everywhere but they don't make gas. Just another case of price manipulation. I fail to see where the story is here? Except that when prices sky rocket again, it will continue to build the case for developing alternatives. Got a like that.
Unless the government had immediate plans to build a vast network of ALTERNATIVE fuel, then we have to live in the here and now! That here and now is our domestic resources for which the current Fed government is preventing.
Just thier playing politics in the Gulf Of Mex. tells me that are clueless to the burben that the unnessessary increase in the cost of gasoline affects the working class.
Where do we go without great leaders for the defense of our liberties? Who will defend our right to live our lives _as we chose_ without others taking that from us? The answer is, as it should be, no one. We are the defense of our rights and should always remember that. Libertarian blogger
That may sound great on paper but unfortunately there are NO efficient alternative power sources here now. Yes we should be striving towards that but manipulation by the administration(or those this administration put in power) to raise gas prices is a great case for getting government out of the business of oil. Alternative energy isn't a reality no matter what libs would like us to think.
I saw that China has increased its oil consumption 225% since 1994. Does anyone have reliable data as to when China and India and other emerging economies with blossoming middle classes will plateau their oil consumption?
If we don't have that data, everything else is empty speculation.

Income Tax = 2% 0f total income, SS maxed out @ $37?, they were called service stations, car cost $2400 (Mercury Comet SW cruised comfortably @ 80, 28 MPG). I could go on but hopefully you get the point. What has increased in cost & scope is government, & immensely so. I have the slips so can verify what's printed.
Hopefully gas goes up enough that my oil stock splits again & I can harvest some more profit.

I see. So I guess my job and my paycheck that I cash every to weeks isn't real then? Alternative energy isn't the answer today. But it is under way. And it will become more of an alternative as time marches on. Meanwhile, it isn't the government that controls the price of oil / gas. It is the oil industry. There is plenty of oil out there available. There is plenty of refining capacity. Why are they running at 50%?

When the government restricts oil production, they do have an impact of the cost. OPEC just raised prices last week because they know that domestic production in the USA is down and we have increased our demand for imported oil.
Our two biggest oil producing areas are Alaska and the GOM. The Feds stopped issuing new drilling permits in the gulf 8 months ago making us more dependent on imported oil and OPEC!!!
That's why prices will continue to increase.

Tell me again why we actually need alternative energy. Are we running out of oil? Maybe it is to stop global warming.....
Drill baby drill and then make me some damn gas

We started running out of gas the day Francis Drake struck oil in Titusville, Pa. The question is WHEN will we run out? As far as I know, most estimates have not taken into account the exploding demands that India and China are creating.
