Now, if a few million old and/or weak people would help us all out by popping off during the next blizzard/heat wave, we can build the utopia of the environmentalists' dreams.
Your cooperation is needed now more than ever, in light of the disappointingly low death rate from Hurricane Katrina. Won't you please do your part to cull the excess human population? Animals would thank you if they could talk and think in abstract terms.

When gas is $4 a gallon and our government bends over to Saudi princes again, we'll know who to blame. God forbid we explore 1% of a 20 million acre tract of wilderness!

I know who to blame right now. We have an election in 2006, and this should be one of the issues, but most likely the MSM will focus on Bush, as the nation spirals downward. I recommend shotgun shells and canned goods when you are thinking about where to put your extra money, if you have any.

I hope gas goes to $5.00 a gallon so that Congress will be forced to do something, because as long as gas prices are reasonable, nothing will be done. Biodiesel will be the best and easiest option, but Americans will have a hard time getting used to efficient engines that run on cheap fuel.

When gas hit 5.00 a gallon the Fed, State ,and local governments will be laughing to the bank with all that winfall tax revenue. Somebody do the math.

I'm old enough to remember when gas stations were required by law to post the tax breakdown within pricing signs -
When that was changed nationwide - someone should have "noticed".
Imagine - laws that actually prevent consumer information - ha ha ha

Let's see - start with 60.00 a barrel of crude - 55 gallons per barrel - out of ground cost 1.10
That 60.00 is agreed on world global price - actual cost of getting it out of the ground varys due to geological and viscosity reasons - Saudi & Libya the easist low cost ...
A commodidy a hugh number of entities have their sticky fingers in.

I am now paying a 2.5% sales tax to my county for the priveledge of having heating oil! I wrote a letter to my county legislator. She responded that "things could be worse!" We currently pay 8.75% in sales tax. I sent a letter to the editor of my local newspaper and didn't receive a SINGLE response! I can only assume that I am white trailor trash in the eyes of my politicians and community members. Never mind that my home is worth about $700,000.

Dooooohhhh! Now they are going to reassess you and raise your property tax! Better put a couple of old pickups out there on concrete blocks - an old Fridge might help too.

I don't know about your state hondo, but in tennessee it's a flat $.60 per gallon, so with higher fuel costs, consumption, and thus revenues, goes down.

Almost all state and federal motor fuel taxes are set at a flat rate. So where does all that money go ?Well of course in times of short supply profits do go uAt least there will be some oil left for our kids, at some point the muslims may just flat out stop selling to us like they did in the 70's

I wish OPEC would embargo us again, then we'd have a new crop of oil millionaires in the US.

The top providers of US oil are:
1. Canada
2. Mexico
3. Saudi Arabia
4. Nigeria
5. Venezuela
6. Iraq
7. Angola
8. Ecuador
I guess we just cannot allow ourselves to be held hostage anymore by Arabic countries. Of course these still are OPEC countries running a cartel to control supply and price of supply.

Hondo, the 'barrel' used for oil pricing contains 42 gallons, not 55. Also, 42 gallons of crude does not make 42 gallons of gasoline.
So, your analysis is a bit simplistic and somewhat flawed. Sort of like the Rathergate documents, the information is plausable, so it MUST be true. ;^)
That being said; yes, $60 crude generates some VERY nice profits at the exploration end, but is pretty much revenue neutral for refiners and puts a crimp on folks who are in retail sales of product.

People scream and cry endlessly about the environment, cheap gas, and foreign oil dependance simultaneously, as if we can have our cake and eat it too. Someone should find out a way to convert stupidity into energy, then we could run on the dhimmicraps alone for another hundred years.

Agent Smith rebukes dangerous vowel-shifter Hondo's plan to enslave hamsters. Our pods are too big for them and humans' brains are needed for parallel processing for the reactor.
