It's Obama's fault!!!! His reckless spending has weakened the buying power of the U.S Dollar so much that Commodities have shot up that includes oil. The blame Bush cow and Halliburton boggeyman no long works. Obama talked about tire gauges, better get them ready.

Oh I was wondering if you could cite me a source I thought it would be an interesting read. I do agree how the oil companies have been raping the public on prices for a while. Though the practical value of gas is much much more than a quarter a gallon. Being able to fill up your car for less than an hour's work on minimum wage would greatly increase consumption and demand, thus the price would rise past $0.25

Like your song btw

poplug,

How overpriced is gas? How many years has gas been overpriced? How many billions in profits have been taken by the Gas Companies from the American people? Who gets all this money? Gas Companies have been stealing all of these billions for all of these years. And now it's time for these thieves to give back to the 300million Americans that they've rippied off for all this time. Considering the years of gas pump robbery, gas for a quarter per gallon is still exorbitant. Obama's PGSO now.

In the United States people who say 'petrol' are tarred and feathered.

I'd like to see how you came up with $0.25 a gallon for gasoline, that seems unbelievably low. I can see crude oil costing that much right after it's pumped before profit margins, transportation, refining and well maintenance are accounted for. $13.75 a barrel seems reasonable before all those are added in.

Regardless I think gas should cost half of what it does now

Gas Companies,

There is no reason other than greed that gas prices are again rising unreasonably. Gas should cost less than twenty five cents ($0.25) a gallon. But because you crooks along with your crooked Middle Eastern Brethren control the market and therefore can force Americans and the rest of the world to pay whatever dollar amount that happens to strike your fancies. The Gas CEOs and their sleazy shareholders are only interested in ripping us off. Obama needs a public gas station option.
