Gas Prices

[Xrati]

Get used to it! The oil companies now know that we will pay this kind of money for gas. They will keep the prices up there until there is no more oil on this planet to sell us. I find it funny how they still say that alcohol is still to expensive as a gas substitute. How high do gas prices have to go before we can get a cheap and readily available alternate source?
As long as we keep using oil products the demand will always exceed the supply. We need more refineries! We have more then enough oil, but if you can't refine it, it will never get to market. The oil companies have used this to keep their price up there and now with the loss of the Gulf States refining we have a major shortage because companies wanted to keep supply to the point of maximizing their profits. It's backfired and people are pissed. NOW people will demand that the oil companies account for themselves and we will all be waiting for the next quarterly statements, where their profits will be way up there despite new and replaced equipment they will have to replace from the hurricane.
