We need to have special pricing of our agriculture produce for OPEC nations.....since we pay 400% more for gas than an OPEC nation.....they should be paying 400% more for our exported food.

The price of gas in the US is high for two reasons----(1) the major oil companies are greedy (2) the weak US dollar--The dollar is weak because the worst President that we have ever had sent us into a unneeded war. This caused us to spend trillions of dollars and go deeper in debt. Send him back to Crawford Mexico--sorry meant Texas.

It's their darn oil. If you were Saudi Arabia, would you increase output? It's not their problem we don't know what we are doing.

Oil sucks, but for the short term, we need to immediately increase refining capacity and domestic production like yesterday.

I hate oil, and i strongly believe we should have been off of it a long time ago, but for the short term, we actually need to increase our own production and the hell with OPEC.

For the last time...It's not a supply and demand problem! It's all about refining capacity and a pricing mechanism ( The Commodity Exchange) that is about to prove that absolute stupidity will always produce absolute failure. We haven't built a refinery in over 35 years. And a basic commodity like Crude should be procured through a national Energy Dept. that is staffed with competent professionals. Our comic-book culture just doesn't get it. Now go vote for one of those comic book characters running for the presidency.

I think oil is getting so high becasue Exxon and its counterparts know that the gasoline and deisel engine's days are numbered. They are trying to suck us for every penny they can. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. It will only be a matter of time before we all drive hydrogen powered cars and the oil company's know it

Report This! THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN THE WORST PRESIDENT THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER HAD IN MY 74 YEARS ASK FOR FAVORS------MAYBE THE NEXT PRESIDENT WILL GET ALONG WITH PEOPLE----HOPE WE CAN HANG ON UNTIL HE IS GONE.
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) - Saudi Arabian leaders made clear Friday they see no reason to increase oil production until their customers demand it, apparently rebuffing President Bush amid soaring U.S. gasoline prices.
=================================================================AND THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR DEFENDING THE SAUDIS AGAINST IRAQ..TERRORISTS ON 9/11 AND NO ASSISTANCE WITH HIGH GAS PRICES.

We need to stop giving ANY aid to any country who does not return favors to us. I do not care if they have a earthquake or tidal wave or disease outbreak. We need to stop giving any sort of aid to all Middle Eastern, Afican, Asian or South American country.

We have cheaper gas than most countries. Lets just bring it back down to 1.50 a gallon and let all the suv driving republicans burn it all up
