  • America is interfering in the middle east that is what is cause the unusual unrest so that is why we suffer at the pump. Get out of there country and mind ur own business. Our country is wasting away!!! Help us first.

  • B.s the middle east has been unstable for hundreds of years. It's all greed by the big oil companies.

  • The middle east is unstable that drives up the price,but so does rejecting the keystone pipeline and refusing to grant permits to the oil companies.Do people really think obama cares if half their paycheck goes to buy gas.

  • here in holland we pay more then $9 for a gallion of gas.. man fuck it

  • crude oil would be approx $20 in a true free market, we need a true viable alternative but too many powerful lobbies are against it

  • We in Australia have been suffering from ridiculously and unjustifiably high prices for Petrol for the past 10 years. We recently hit 170 cents for one litre of fuel. If Americans think they have it bad they need to go abroad, and for those that appear dumfounded as to why it is so expensive, the answer is simple. Don't intervene in the middle east. That is why they are so high.

  • she is full of it full of propaganda

  • Fight High fuel prices Google "sticky note campaign"

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah get some other Soccer MOMMA to tell us such BS----how about crooks on Wall Street in league with BIGGER crooks who own refineries(EXXON,BP,CITGO,SHEL­L,PHILLIPS 66,ect ect) ....ie same creeps laughing at Congress back in 2007 about the huge profits they made screwing USA citizens over on first wave of 4 dollars a gallon???

  • '

    why gas price go up,,,

    because of election day,,,

    ohhh no,,,

    that is awful and sad,,,

    pay parking meter is a TERRIBLE policy and rip off

  • Comparing coffee to gasoline!?! What? This chick is nothing but a shill reading from a script! If automobiles could use coffee as fuel, then coffee prices would not remain as "stable" either! They are just trying to elicit sympathy for the oil companies, nothing more, nothing less. I don't feel sorry for BILLIONAIRES who rape the average citizen for every penny on a DAILY basis! Kiss My Ass and Love It!

  • Plus, we are not looing at a few cents increase. Maybe 5-10 cents every day!

  • You are a stupid woman! the traders in NYC are the reason for high priced gas.. Lets say Exxon buys a tanker of crude from Canada, then the traders buy and sell it many times before it gets to out refinery! do your research!

  • This Gal has nice little T*ties ! And shes cute too!

  • the gas prices are still far behind the prices of everything else. explain that if you can. compared to our prices, you pay nothing anway. give up your ressource-wasting lifestyle. that would do the trick.

  • oceanic disaster baby oceanic disaster

  • Americans waste oil. Simple answer.  They don't use it they abuse it then they bitch when it goes up. Slow down and save gas. Let's help eachother by conservation.

  • @jmkpns 100% agreed.

  • we have more oil in the united states than the Arabs do but our shadow government wont let us drill for it!

  • @shartne do you study geography?

    stupid

  • Everybody but you know that Russia and Cuba are going to drill for the oil off the coast of florida look who is stupid and it isnt me. this reserve has more oil in it than Saudi Arabia but the companys like Mobil and Enron dont want us drill for it because they buy oil from the Saudis and that would hurt their profit margin. WAKE UP! These are the same people pushing for glovbal taxes the have ivestments in green stuff and carbon trading and stand to make billions of dollars WAKE UP!

  • @shartne you saying that florida have more oil than the whole of the middle east/ arabs state which is not true . Face it they have more oil than us. the reserve is for the future where oil is scarce for our people. So you WAKE UP! short term people.

  • Yes it is true that is what I am saying why is that so hard to believe. Look it up and quite being a dweeb.

  • @shartne think real hard aka the oil spill that happen, thats why they don't want us to drill and have oil supply here in america

  • bullshit video this is. first off, the earth will not run out of crude oil (its like blood, u loose some the body makes more). second gas was unda a dollar right before daddy bush went to war (dessert storm). gas went up ova night ($1.50). third, the second war that lil' bush put us in, the gas shot to ova $2. fukin' coffee.

  • @MrFilmMakerNumber2 gas isn't a natural resource, and neither is oil. it takes hundreds and thousands of years for things to decay into carbon, and then immense heat over thousands of years turns the carbon into crude oil. Gasoline also must be refined, and is NOT A NATURAL RESOURCE.

  • wrong. gas is a natural earth resource and it is basically free. But OPEC is a monopoly like diamond companyes, where there is no one regulating them, they control the prices. That is why Dubai and arabs have money, they made deals with US politicians so the US oil companies get a cut and they get to control the economy.

  • @JesusChristRulesYOU gas isn't a natural resource, and neither is oil. it takes hundreds and thousands of years for things to decay into carbon, and then immense heat over thousands of years turns the carbon into crude oil. Gasoline also must be refined, and is NOT A NATURAL RESOURCE.

  • @JesusChristRulesYOU You think if we were allowed to drill and had glut of our own oil that gasoline would be this high???

  • I've seen pictures of 3.50% for a Gallon.

    now a gallon is 4 Litres.

    1$ is = 9.8 krones = 0.7 Euros.

    3.5$ = 2.45 Eur = 34.3 Krones.

    1L of Gas in the USA is approx. 8.7Krones/0.6Eur Litre.

    WHAT the FUCK are you whining about ?!

  • What she couldn't comb her hair?

  • War,what is it good for ? Absolutly nothing ! Huh !

  • Prices are high because of stupid Hummers and fat-ass SUVs exhausting the world's oil supply!!!

  • do you want to know how much a us gallone gas converted from euro to dollar and from litre to gallone in germany costs?

    7.66 dollar!

  • fuck you guys, gas sould be 10$ a gallon no matter where the fuck you live. gas is what is killing us fuckers.

  • this is BULL oil now is $35 from $140 last summer

    gasoline is $2.09 a gallon do the math it should be around $1 a gallon now

    bull bull bull were still being gouged and oil companies making excessive profits still even when barrel of oil is going down

  • Quit your focking whining. OPEC runs the show, you dog.

  • So what do you say about demand now? Exxon made $6000.00 profit each second while you were pumping last summer. Thanks for everything Exxon, enjoy the resession !

  • pew pew pew. my msn messenger id is in my profile! msg me if u want! n

  • 1 gallon of gas in norway costs 8,74 US dollar.

    thats why its so few V8`s in norway.

  • Check out UK's petrol prices, £1.20 per litre. Diesel. And about £1.10 for petrol.

  • yup, it sucks here.

  • we have enough gas stockpiled that if we stopped pumping now we would have enough oil stockpiled to last the world 20 years..theres no shortage ad theres no excuse the bottom line is theres a bunch of money hungry pigs at the wheel of the oil industry and thats it

  • The oil industry makes huge profits, everyone gets angry saying they rip the consumer off. More than %90 of that mny is spent finding more oil for u & me, then they pay the huge amnts of mny to the gvntmentt for envrment protection. The real gouges here are not the oil industry but the gvrnment. %65 of what you pay for ur fuel is tax. the other %45 is on the fuel. In some countries its worst. But do you hear the gvrment talk abut this. Offcourse not! Profit is not dirty. Gvrments R manipulative

  • how about controlling/limiting supply to boost demand?

    collusion? corruption? greed?

    we have much less consumption now and prices are still going higher

  • Then why is Exxon reporting the highest profits of any company in the history of mankind? The government and big oil are in bed together and always have been.

  • i would thank if demand goes up and less supply is avalbul there wount be much in pumps this is what general insider corruption looks realistics says if you don,t have it how can you use it so bullshit supply and demand this is corruption i beleve in realalistics not book smart un realistacol ideots like a econimest they don,t know shit from a brick in there ass

  • so pretty much, unbridled capitalism and foreign dependancy are causing high gas prices?

    My thoughts exactly. It's aaaaaaaalways related to greed...

  • While speculation has a marked effect, as does OPEC and Latin oil cartel influence, however, the market effect of supply vs. demans is the true controlling factor of fuel costs. China and India are rapidly increasing demand, far exceeding world output. This causes the price to rise.

  • In Britain fuel is at $12.5 per gallon. No lie.

  • omg!

    phx,AZ USA it is $3.80 and our price's

    is going down!

  • the price of gas is high for 2 reason the oil companies are unregulated and we have to pay what they charge were stuck but what I really find funny is that mccain is blaming high gas prices on obama LOL only a neocon could or would believe that

  • WIND POWER BABY!

  • wind power is expensive and unreliable. in fact all energy sources have their downfalls. i believe that nuclear energy, which happens to be a safe and proven technology, is the best answer. it leaves the smallest environmental impact (believe it or not) and is relatively inexpensive.

  • you're quite right but like you said:"all energy sources have their downfalls".Well in the wake of terrorism nuclear energy is quite a uncomfortable source although the good out weigh the bad.Secondly, accidents can and do happen.If a nuclear accident were to occur, God forbid, it would be hell on earth, like the Chernobyl accident of 1986.Yet if an oil spill were to happen or some other accident it wud be easily contained (although oil is nasty & toxic).None can compare to a nuclear accident.

  • the cost of my coffee has stayed the same.

  • All I got to say is I'm ready for World War III!!!

  • lol wth is starteing a world war 3 ganna do... spen bils on gas then get more for self but just wasted a lot... or...blowing up earth because wepons to big now...

  • She's not model grade, but I just keep thinking of "Dr. Fellatio's Blowjob Adventures," while watching her. I don't know, she's just kinda slutty looking.

    I keep seeing this video pop up, when I search for high oil price crap. So, I just thought I'd comment about her sluttiness.

  • Yeah, I think you're on to something.... Something about her just screams, "slut, slut, slut", even though she makes no remotely direct reference to sex. Perhaps the way she's casually justifying something that men are involved a lot in? Who knows?

  • Wow, why does she have to wear such a tight shirt? Kind of kept me distracted, which is quite an achievement because she's not like, model-grade hot.

  • Supply and demand do not account for the rises we have seen. One year ago, perhaps some supply disruptions were to blame for a little of the hike. This year, however, its greedy oil tycoons inflating the market to unspeakable levels just to take advantage of stupid people who don't know better and thanks to legislation that gives tax breaks to record profit making oil companies istead of the people who really need, the poor Jo Schmo's out there paying $4.11/gal for gasoline.

  • Yeah the retailer is getting screwed and the speculators and Big Oil have Profit out the Zahoo !!! To Hell with you lady , talking trash like that

  • I bet this news lady would be pretty good in an amatuer blowjob or anal flick. She's kinda slutty with big tits. I'd do her.

  • Comment removed

  • Lovely, and just after that eloquent presentation about supply and demand, she slips in "while there hasn't been a shortage..". Another little item I noticed: "Uncertainty in oil producing countries". It's a nice passive political jab, but this time it's not the Oil producers, but the futures market itself which is to blame. Oil companies are manipulating it, and we need to stop putting up with it.

  • Saudi Arabia is currently working on building gas and diesel refineries. Do you guys even understand what this means? Soon there will be no more crude oil from them and they will only sell us gas and diesel, if everyone thinks fuel prices are high now, wait until this starts. They will suck us dry. The environmentalist love these fuel prices, they should stick to their words and quit driving gas operated cars, hypocrites. You will all be happy when Iraq starts being drilled for oil.

  • Comment removed

  • I dont know, we will just have too see. i know an older guy thats in the oil business, hes not a big company but he says the opposite of what you say.

  • She really is a brainwashed disciple. Shame really because she is quite attractive but I do prefer my women with brains as well as looks.

  • even if you have and ideal on alternative fuels, the oil companies will pay off someone to kill you, its that simple. money is alot of power, and these guys have both, hell if anyone took the time they could run a car on fucking magnets, hell if you could find a way to boil water you could go steam powered. they've already had steam engines...but w/e i'm probally going to get thumbs down on this but idgaf, freedom of speech fucker.

  • I think price of coffee is going up and staying up because of the price of gas. We're basically paying that extra buck for that truck driver to drop off the item at the store.......... Thats just my thought.

  • i travel for free so i dont care about gas cost

  • The people responsible for manipulating gas prices couldn't have made a better video than this to brain wash you. "Duh, i'm a dolt and i believe this video and that everything is just hunky dory fine. It's those pesky large signs that are the problem."

  • The reason gas is so high has absolutely nothing to do with the price of Oil. It is a fabrication by the republican administration.They are doing this in response to the democrats recent increase in the minimum wage. It is all politics people. It really is time to have a revolution and take back our country. Our constitution tells us to throw the bums out when it gets this bad. We no longer elect our representatives they elect us. Tea party anyone?

  • Your name is appropriate....Toolman because you are a tool. Gas prices have NOTHING to do with any government. If it did THEY WOULD BE RUN OUT OF TOWN ON A RAIL...Niehter the democratic party nor the republican party can do anything about a commodity like gasoline. What we have to do is change what we put in our cars...However, that isn't going to do swat for food prices and everything else that is dependent on gas for living in the 21st century.

  • With the ignorant people in this country no one will be held accountable. You are proof that the system has the everyday wacky American drinking the kool-aid. I for one think this Gov. is the problem you are obviously a Bush cheerleader like the druggie Rush and baby Jesus Shaun.

  • The not-so-scientific oil price formula: (A + B + C) x D = E A = 1 US President from Texas B = Existence of A's deep family friendships among Saudi royalty C = 1 unconstitutional US invasion of the #3 OPEC member country D = Length, in years, of US occupation of invaded country factored into C, above E = Oil Price *Note 1: change in A will reduce E Note 2: B is constant Note 3: C is constant Note 4: Limiting D will reduce E
  • She is SO HOT... to bad shes in canada

  • ROFLMAO!!!

  • by the way here the # demand for oil in the US is down 4% from last year, a big number for something everyone uses. But what do you expect in a world run by rich people that spend millions of dollars to get elected to a position that pays a couple hundred thousand a year.

  • It has nothing to do with supply of oil. Theres enough oil left to drive our cars around until earth is not habital for humans. We need new refineries to convert oil to gas (there hasn't been one built in the states in my lifetime. The biggest factor is bullshit speculation. Taxes!!! I remember paying a 99 cents a gallon. Depending on what state you live in you might be paying close to a dollar a gallon in taxes on a gallon of gas. Gas tax should be fixed not a percentage

  • I'd like to take a couple of lines here to shed lite on the "delusional Reality" of 'Rising Gas Prices.' Gas prices are NOT on the way UP. Bear with me...

    the dollar is falling...no stablizing factor such as Silver/Gold...the dollar is back by printing press. the dollar is loose value...

    1) question: what was the price of gas prior to Theodre Rose. (president) taking dollar of silver standard.

    ans: the exact same as it is today!!! gas is not rising ...the dollar is falling. effect r worse

  • I'm confused, has the demand really gone up 300%???

  • No, adamstaton the demand for oil has not goneup 300%. Actually the demand for oil in America has gone down. Saudi Arabia and Iran have both said they are sitting on millions of barrels of oil. Don't fall for the bullshit you hear from FOX, CNN or the other Networks. These corporations all have bills sitting before Congress and Bush administration and they don't want to rock the boat.

  • The price of gas has gone up because the value of the dollar goes down. The value of the dollar goes down because we borrow 2.5 Billion dollars a day from China to pay for the Iraq war. The the Federal reserve prints money out of thin air thus making our dollar worth less. Remember all paper money isn't real money. Only gold and silver are legal tender. The more money we print the less are paper is worth because the amount of gold remains the same. This is the truth.

  • This is SO TRUE.

  • this is ppooop logic. think Nike and tell me how supply and demand work. Not like this lady would have you believe. 'demand' is manufactured...not supply based.

  • 169pepsi - there are some MAJOR positive spinoffs from the high price of oil.

    1) imports become uneconomical, giving american companies a fighting chance.

    2) the high price of oil has a double whammy effect on a country like china because not only are they MASSIVE exporters, they are also heavily reliant on imports due to their lack of natural resources.

    3)the high price of oil forces consumers to look at buying new, energy efficient products, which in turn helps the green industry grow

  • this message has been approved by the oil industry

  • Comment removed

  • yeah. the only REAL solution is to GREATLY LESSON our dependence on oil.

  • Comment removed

  • 169pepsi We do live in a consumer "driven" economy!

    nice pun. ha!

    The thing is in order to survive, the consumer economy will have to change, or we will keep sinkholing our money out of the country and into china, india, etc.

    our 'consumer' economy used to be good for america when we were buying AMERICAN products...now that we've lost the industrial base that made this country strong, it's time to look past the consumer economy into a new one (med/tech). until that happens, we're screwed.

  • I recognize this location. This is located at Mavis Road and Burnamthorpe Road in Mississauga Ontario Canada.

  • its because of  ENRON VISION

  • Garbage!!!! you think theres a shortage of oil?? Bush and Cheney have shares in the iol companies thats why oil prices are so high

  • The video was probably made for a children's program.

  • watch 'give me a break'

  • dumbest theory ever, pepsi.

  • 169pepsi, I think you are pretty close. Maybe we should make sure we have lots of cash to spend!

  • I think the only way to get a free coffee is to be a cop. I see that every morning.

  • lol

  • its not that were running out of oil, we have enough oil to last the who globe for centuries, its that were running out of cheap oil, because in the middle east its already pure, but in north america its in rocks, and need hot water added to it to seperate it,

  • price of oil is high bcz of weak dollar

    google "petrodollar"

  • In response to this video, coffee doesn't get me to & from work. I also don't consume 30 gallons of coffee a week.

  • honestly if it had to do with supply and demand then why are the national oil reserves are at an 8 percent high sense 2000 honestly the lady in this report is an idiot because its really simple research and if you have watched the back doors on trading you'll see that much of it has to do with hedge fund's and the future market

  • Comment removed

  • Bullshit. Our dollar is tanking. The price of gasoline in America is rising accordingly.

    Look it up, people. I dare you to try and prove me wrong.

  • By the way, I am currently in the Middle East, and have talked to a lot of people, both middle east and from around the globe. Fujariah, UAE, and Bahrain.

  • Bullshit. Prices of oil are so high because of the arab world wanting to build new cities, including the one in dubai where they had to make several islands for the new city. Has nothing to do with the demand, use a little commen sence here. Do the research.

  • I don't have a problem with the owners of the oil fields in the middle east profiting from their sales. Unfortunately, they seem to be very wasteful on what they spend their profits on. Unfortunately the new cities are being built by and for the super rich and the wealth is not being spread to all of the people of the oil producing countries.

    Most certainly though the current situation has to do with the current rate of demand is not being met by the current rate of supply.

  • Alberta and Brittish Columbia should be full of tar sands. Tar sands are plentiful in the US too. US has them in North Dakota, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado. It's a slow process getting all that oil out.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • It's huge - 1.8 trillion barrels of oil. But it's oil shale. The oil is very difficult and energy intensive to extract.

  • Comment removed

  • Certainly it's viable to begin extracting the oil sands. But you have to mine about two tons of tar sands to produce one barrel of oil. It can also be done in situ. Nevertheless, it's very energy intensive. About 1/3 of the energy contained in the sands will be used to mine the sand. The second problem is that the *rate* at which tar sands can be recovered is not very fast. Remember peak oil is about the *rate*, not so much the quantity. This will mean lots of conservation none the less

  • Comment removed

  • I'm pretty sure that we have hit peak oil. The world now consumes 6 barrels of oil for every newly discovered barrel of oil. I don't think that the gasoline engine can be improved all that much for fuel efficiency because it's limited by the fundamentals of the Carnot cycle. The gasoline engine is 30% efficient at best. Most of the waste energy produces heat - hot water in the radiator and in turn hot air around the car, hot exhaust. A small amount is heat from friction.

  • what about the north dakota deposits? They say that there is enough oil under north dakota the run the us for 22 years. And why should extracting it be a problem? They strip mine all over the state for coal, so why arent we drilling for oil there also???

  • 4 billion barrels of heavy oil in shale ... that's 4-5 months worth at today's rate of consumption. Don't make me laugh. It will take 22 years to get it out. US oil consumption exceeds the total of the next 5 largest consumers - China, Japan, Russia, Germany, and India COMBINED

  • Every corner of the US has NOT been explored . .the Government is restricted because of State controll. Anwar is a perfect example

  • The petroleum geology of the United States is very well understood. They pretty much know where all of the oil is. Most of what is left is not economical to extract even at today's much higher prices.

  • That's a load of crap. Yes, they know where it is, and have asked to get it. But at todays prices it is economical. Maybe not in the prices of the late 90s but it is now. Any added resource will lower the price.

  • Comment removed

  • Its the radical enviro wackos .. If we drill at home . .the prices go down ! .

  • There is no more oil at home to speak of. Oil peaked in the US in 1971. The amount of oil we are getting out of the ground now is about the same as we did in 1945.

  • the big western private oil corporations only control 5% of the oil fields. Nationalization of oil production accounts for 90% of the fields with small private companies splitting the remaining 5%. Nationalization is driving the bus. Exporting countries are modernizing and using more of their own oil. Your last sentence is spot on though.

  • Want lower gas prices . .Simple . .DRILL AT HOME . .we have enough oil at home !!

  • Comment removed

  • The problem is not the quantity of oil in the ground, but it's the *rate* at which it can be delivered to the pump and does it meet the *rate* at which it's demanded?  The oil companies simply can't pump it out any faster anymore to meet the demand. This is called peak oil. It's here.

  • There is no oil at home or at least in the quantities that it is demanded. In fact, oil has been running out since 1971.

  • Your wrong . .in Anwaw there is plenty of oil .. Plenty of oil off our coasts .. the problem is we are not allowed to explore or refien because of radical evivormentalists

  • Anwar has about 10.4B barrels. At current consumption rates, Anwar will last 17 months.

  • Anwar is one spot . . But off the coast's of America . .theres PLENTY more ! and your 10.4 B barrrels is dead wrong !

  • 10.4B barrels is what experts estimate Anwar to be. But it sounds like you are the top Anwar expert here - a well seasoned Petroleum Geologist and have made your own assessments after taking a close look at all the known geology, the seismic charts and the test wells. I'm sure you know how to do all that.

  • Do you really believe enviromentalists have any power. The USA is an oligarky and big buisness gets anything it wants. No new refineries because the oil corps dont want to waste the capitol on building them because they know they will have no product to refine. The oligarky loves to play the shift the blame to the liberal game. The bankers are hoping to divide and conquer the USA so they can usher in facism. So far they are doing a pretty good job. No offence but they seem to have gotten to you

  • Where???? It's all nearly gone. It's hard to accept, but oil is a finite resource.

  • Its a thing of supply and demand... OK, what if we pick on a particular gas company, and don't buy there gas at all, until they drop there price approximately 10 cents below the competition. When they do we all buy their gas, and only their gas until the competition drops their price 10 cents below the previous company. We then repeat the process until the prices drop back down.

    Any comments?

  • I am laughing at you stupid people, its so funny how you guys spent money on stupid gas. The reason why I am laughing is because I see one person per vehicle everywhere that I turn, if you guys want to cut back on gas prices, why not carpool, take the fucking bus, or ride a fucking bicycle, riding a bike would save you fucking gas money for other things. Think, don't be fucking stupid.

    Get it, Supply and Demand.

  • My wonderfull ignorant friend..(If i could call you such?) What we are experiencing here (especially in the US)is NOT a laughing matter..I guess either you must not be from the US or living under a rock somewhere? some people do not have the ability to "carpool",or take "the bus" ect. In my opinion,"Supply and Demand" is not in effect here. The rising cost of gas is caused by wall street speculators driving up the price of oil and devaluating the dollar everywhere.

  • Well first of all, thanx for your wonderful compliment. Second, are you a person so dependant on oil? it seems that you are. Well guess what? the top heads of the oil industry are exactly laughing at you guys because they know that oil is as consumable as water, so they are pretty much laughing at you guys because they know you people cant' live with out this liquid. Hence the gas price is just going to continue to sky-rocket unless they see a decline of gas consumption...

  • The oil industry is part of the problem,that is correct our main problem is OPEC and the speculators on Wall Street. You will not see a decline of oil usuage in this country or anywhere else because we are dependant on Saudi oil and are forced to buy it. The only way out is to drill for our own oil which our govt is against or create alturnative fuels. So unless something is done against speculation or dependantcy we will continue to pay.

  • SO WE ELIMINATE THE DEMAND!!!!

    GAS BOYCOTT June 1st 2008

    The Evolution of Revolution!

  • I am with you. I will not buy gas on June 1st and a few days after that. But I am not sure that will work because we will just have to buy gas the day before. There has got to be a better way. They are killing us with these gas prices.

  • In 1967 gas in my georgia town was .33 cents a gallon in 1997 it had only risen here to 1.03 a gallon for regular unleaded. So in 40 years it only went up .70 cents so why in the last 11 years has it gone up 3.00 us dollars. While Americans are mad about the overall price its the meteoric rate it's in which the price is climbing. Did your Gas in Europe get to 6 and 7 dollars a gallon overnight?
