Price of gas vs. Evo X owners
I agree w/ all your solutions except 4. It is a fact that finding new oil fields is becoming more difficult, they are harder to access and in general they are getting smaller. Taking profits away from oil companies will make them invest less in finding new oil fields and will drive cost up in the future. Reduction of demand is the answer.
sorry its sad, and funny at the same time to read some of these responses, especially the ones where someone makes a blanket statement in which they ***** and say, "this sucks, prices of gas should be like 2 bucks a gallon".
I am sure that its been said but if everyone here would accept the facts, the above statement would nut be used.
Here is some (there are many more) of the facts and reasons why price of oil/gas is expensive:
1. we(Americans) use shijajt load of gasoline (demand ^, price^)
2. our corporate production outsourcing practice has made countries like China/India and others become HUGE consumers of oil (demand ^, price^)
3. value of US dollar has tumbled over the last year, upwards of 25-35%, and since price of barrel of oil is measured in USD, then naturally, it will go up as the US currency value goes down. (USD value down, price^)
4. GREED of the people on top (GREED^, price^)
There are many ways to bring the price of oil down, (correspond to above)
1. drive less, drive more responsibly (take 1 trip to run errands, not 7) DONT DRIVE A SUBURBAN OR HUMMER
2. outsource less and/or demand that the production countries be responsible about energy use as well)
3. thats an economic issue and i am sure the Fed and all of the brainiacs in Washington can strengthen USD
4. make oil companies give some of the HUGE profits back and reduce the government tax on fuel
5. become less dependent on oil from other countries and pursue alternate fuel sources
This is the basics of it all, but its not as simple as saying, "this sucks, prices of gas should be like 2 bucks a gallon".
