Megalocorporatism is outside of supply and demand. They control the supply and they make the demands. Unfortunately, the same even goes for international companies like Wal-Mart who spend more on foreign inventory than domestic inventory. So whoever wrote this article is on the right track. Good catch. Boycotting Exxon and Mobil won't do it though. Click here for a list of American gas companies. Instead, people have to consider only purchasing domestic oil whenever possible, preferably from an independent dealer. The idea is actually less strenuous if you take the following approach. You would located the gas dealers in your area and your most frequent routes. You would then grade the all domestic dealers using domestic oil as first choice, and grade down to international domestic companies. Then from there you would grade down the rest from American non-domestic sources to foreign non-domestic sources; dropping particularly aggressive companies to the bottom (your boycott list). Keeping a small gas can at your place of business (if you can) and at home can help prevent emergency fuel ups. And keeping a 1/2 tank is more efficient than >1/2 tank, and will help prevent emergency fuel ups. This method was in part strategist and well thought out by the group for Made In The U.S.A...

HOW BOUT JUST VOTE OUT OBAMA AND HIS WAR ON OIL
I'll continue to buy COSTCO then. It is the cheapest in our area.
With federal government subsidies you are paying the lowest gasoline prices in the world outside of the producer nations. Without government subsidies you would be paying more than $4 per gallon.
But the key words here are " intelligent, united action" which america don't have in large numbers.
Americans can't even have intelligent, united action on political issues that will affect their lives as well as their grandchildrens lives if they have to weigh those options against that new boat or that next vacation they are gonna take.
So I say take that vacation america, and when you get back home start packing, because while you were gone having fun, your home was foreclosed on because you foolishly voted for a government that fleeced your country and all it's assets, and what they didn't take, they sold to foreign nations in the form of treasury bonds, and the only thing that's left is the bill, which YOU will pay...................supprise !!!!
Lol, now that's America in a nut shell my friends. Right now in Lybia people living there pay about 12 cents U.S. per litre, which works out to 50 cents a gallon, and they are outraged they have to pay that price, lol. Most of the middle east is along that price and lower, it's only when that oil leaves their country and gets in the hands of the oil companies like EXXON, MOBIL and BP that the price skyrockets to unbelievable prices, well to match those unbelievable oil...

The one good thing about of all of this is the United States government gets royalties off all domestic oil sucked out of our own country. The U.S. Department of the Interior is responsible for leasing tracts to oil and gas companies and collecting the royalties on them, which amount to around $8 billion+ a year. The oil off Americas shores is OURS - we OWN it. But our government get's the money, and they are not shareing it. Instead they are selling it to americans at the same high prices the rest of the world sells it to us for. All in the good faith of supply and demand logic.
And yet those same democrats and republicans that do this to america, get voted back in office time, and time again.
Did someone say "intelligent, united action", lol, in america????
I don't think so!
We all need to inform the rest of America.
Thank you!
Fuel taxes chart, federal and state, plus some other items
http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oi...
Average State + Federal gasoline tax $0.4084 or 41 cents per gallon.
supposedly to build and maintain roads and bridges?
So it helps to know where that other 3 bucks is going, I suppose.
