I think this question misses the point. 'How do we get ourselves off oil' may be a better starting point.
If gas and tax included the incidental health and social costs that our heavy use of vehicles places on our society, it would be far more expensive.

So why are the oil prices up in Europe? The Euro has done much better than the dollar.

The market is managed to a point.

I could try to explain how but doing so would be impossible as you need to read and understand many things.

So my statement is as useless to you as saying we live in the matrix controlled by machines (untrue) ether way both statements are untrue in your mind. The only way you can understand that the market is managed (to a point) is with extensive amount of data is shown to you.

If you want to know start by learning how money is created, then ask questions.

Prices are still rising/American companies have plenty of oil/prices are going up...get it?..Oil monopoly, perhaps? Focus people,its not that hard if you stay focused on the facts and ignore the talk. Don't ask the fox where the chickens went if you want a straight answer

We own Iraq,its oil rich, American companies like good ole Haliburton have been drilling there since the take over. There is no shortage,period. Prices are still rising($4.69in N.C.). This is a profit. To reiterate, there is no shortage, yet gas prices are going up. Iraq's oil is in the hands of contracted companies American and otherwise. (

I think it's impossible for a conspiracy theorist to post a comment without using the phrase "wake up."

peak oil, supply and demand. think about india and china's growing thirst for oil.  demand is 87 million barrels and the supply is 85 million per day. the price goes up. oil companies aren't gonna start making a cut because the supply is fucked. use your heads.
