The reason for this latest spike was supposedly a number of accidents within the oil companies, causing prices to shoot. I'm still confused as to why when someone that works for Texico gets hurt at work, the entire country has to compensate and pay out the ass...

The bottom line is that not buying gas for a day won't solve anything. Oil companies are already rolling in cash, and only getting richer at this point. It's kind of sad when the American people are at war so to speak with the oil companies that basically run the country, but I suppose we can chalk this up to good ole Dubbya. ~
they blamed the last price hike on Katrina,,,the gas storage was not even effected by the storm and tankers were filling up in a weeks time... Face it unless we start using other sources we are stuck... I heated my home with wood pellets for the last 2 years and guess what... the pettet industry claimed they could not meet the demand of all the people converting and a shortage was created... Now a bag of pellets is 5$ off peak when it was 3.23$ for the last 7 years... you can't fight greed... we need to comute and we need to heat,,,but we are lazy and to used to having it easy and will not change until we have no choice... If I buy another home I am going to do my best to keep it green friendly such as using solar or Geothermal...

Hybrid technology is a farce,,,they want to keep us oil dependant...
Skink Reviewed by Skink on . No Gas on May 15th!!!! If you are outraged about the gas prices then dont buy gas on may 15. On April 15, 1997 their was a gas protest and gas prices droped 30 cents over night. Gas companys need our everyday business to stay in business and will loose millions if no one pumps on may 15th. (assuming enough people decide not to pump). So unless you like paying over 3 dollars a gallon then DONT PUMP ON MAY 15th!!!:hippy: Rating: 5
