Their profits come from technology, research, and development. Not when you put the nozzle in your Volvo.President Bush does not control the price of oil. OPEC does.

Boost3237 Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) quote some website-"Existing global trading patterns primarily reflect the result of buyers and sellers responding tomarket forces to get each type of crude oil from where it isproduced to where it is most valued, accounting for the costof transportation. That is, trade flows at any point in time arelargely a result of the relative advantages in transportationcosts and buyers’ preferences for different qualities of crudeoils.However, because buyers and sellers can and do substituteone type of oil for another, specific trading patterns are notcrucial to evaluating supply and demand or pricing. Forexample, if the supply of crude oil from a source were cutoff – regardless of whether that oil flowed to the UnitedStates – competition from buyers for the world’s remainingsupplies would drive up all oil prices. Alternatively, if acountry decided to cut off shipments of oil to the UnitedStates but maintained its production, there would be relativelylittle long-term impact on price. (This is, of course, holdingaside any price changes due to an increase in geopolitical riskor smaller influences, such as shifting transportation andrefining patterns.)"even though i hate bush he cant possibly be responsible for prices since he doesnt influence the market for oiland its actually good that oil companies profit or any company for that matter. it results in them keeping people employed and that reduces unemployment and when that number shrinks ppl stop their bit*hing and a low unemployment rate adds fuel to a consumer's confidence along with several other things.so i dont have to copy and paste it all, this is the website i just finished reading and it provides a good overall explination as to why oil and gas prices are the way they are its a good read if you dont know the mechanics of it.http://www.factsonfuel.org/gasoline/OilPrimer.pdf Edited March 10, 2008 by Boost3237 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drinking940’s Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 feels like we all complain just because it's not 1 dollar a gallon anymore. In other places, they pay DOUBLE what we pay. If it effects you too much, stop driving. I feel there is nothing we can do about it, i'lll follow where ever the market takes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas prices are no where near as high as they need to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
