    Just filled up the tank in Springfield, Mo 2.01 Gal.

    But the price of a barrel of gas has not to much to
    do with the price.. In 1998 a barrel of gas went to
    10.00 a barrel and gas got no cheaper than 1.49 Gal.

    Guess its time to get the horse out from the pasture.

    so you guys think if a democrat gets in the white house ( god forbid hillary clition) that gas prices are going to JUST drop. your fooling yourself
    I say screw all the liberals
    they try to undermine anything bush is trying to do.

    2.50 for diesel in az. It's starting to cost more per month for fuel than the truck payment.

    price of oil only went up because of the impending & actual invasion of iraq. no invasion & the oil would be cheaper than now. in ontario, canada, the price of gas is about 90cents/litre or $4.05Can/imperial gallon which is a third more than the phoney american gallon

    Food for thought. Here in the states their telling us that there is a shortage of fuel, because we have not built any refineries in the last 20 years. Their raising the price, because the demand is causing a shortage. Hmmmmmmm-anybody seen any stations closed because of no fuel???

    $2.39 for 89 octane in Palm Beach area.

    And I am going to take Jim Dandy's advice and not mention the following:

    Democrat, Republican, or how about both parties just being puppet's to another country pulling the strings? We all need to wake up...there is more to what is happening that one can imagine or wants to imagine. Do some research on PNAC and look to the game plan of the extreme right wing way before 9/11...just like a story book that came to fruition. OK, just my two cents. <g>
    Oh and yea…from a Republican…F*ck Bush!!!! Or should I say the real power behind the scenes…Rowe, Wolfowitz, etc.

    not just that, but now I see more and more Hummers and bigass SUVs that are probably getting 8 miles to the gallon than I saw 5 years ago.

    Hi friends... It's about $2.40 a gallon here in central Massachusetts; just went up dramatically again yesterday.
    Does anyone remember the early 1970's? My very first car was a '64 Chevy Impala that I bought in 1970. Back in 1970, gas was .28 cents a gallon.... not a typo neither... .28 cents a gallon. I'd fill up the tank with a 5.00 dollar bill.
    I think Van Halen said it well in their song... "Where have all the good times gone?"
    Take care friends; enjoy your weekend.
    Tommy

    $2.22 here, in northern Minnesota. And, what the hell? My liberal friends said that we invaded Iraq to get their oil. Why the hell is the price so high, then? :) Could they be wrong, again?

    O.K., so I do get troll tendencies once in awhile. :):):)

    all i'm going to say on this newly political thread issue is, i can remember gas at 80 cents a gallon under Clinton, and now i see it for $2.40 under Bush. i get 35 miles to the gallon on my car, and it's still hurting my under-paid butt.

    don't buy gas from Exxon/Mobil. I just read an article in Time magazine that said that while everyone else (except Bush) is trying to reduce pollution, and Exxon is accused of being the #1 climate criminal responsible for the Bush Administration's refusal to sign on to the Kyoto Protocol. They don't agree with mandatory caps on greenhouse emissions.

    I'll never buy Exxon Mobile ... I'm originally from Alaska and they did soooo much damage up there.

    They say they cleaned it all up, but you can still turn over rocks and see oil.
