I have to drive over 100 miles a day to take hubby for radiation and chemo. So our gas bill for traveling to and from not to mention his trips to labs, and our usual trips we have seen our budget go out the window due to the cost of gas. We have no choice in our trips so we are now spending over $300 close to $400 a month just to go from one doctor to another and to the drug store and labs. God I miss Bush!!!

Yes

The prices are definitely higher. That alone tells the tale.

And we all know whom to thank for this. This is exactly what Obama and his Czars wanted.

Oil companies?

After all, three of them were among the five most profitable companies in the world, and all three collected literally billions in taxpayer subsidies...

reply
Temlako... to Zoomie 2013/02/10 01:40:58

They wouldn't ask for the kind of limits on exploration that they now face.

The only oil companies who are really making out are Petrobras and Pemex. And maybe PetroHavana or whatever they call themselves. And--oh, yes--Citgo, now a wholly owned subsidiary of Petro Venezuela.

hmm...gonna go out on a limb here and say you're a fan of Rush and FauxNews...

The "PetroHavana" thing...Cuba has contracted with China for oil exploration in the gulf. They've got no oil wells, and are years away from any. And why can't Cuba seek oil in international waters, same as we do? After all, the Gulf isn't ours

Meanwhile...ExxonMobil last year report PROFITS (not income, PROFITS) of $15.9 BILLION for the 2nd Quarter of 2012. That's $16 billion in ONE quarter...

ANd I don't understand your comment on exploration limits...

reply
Temlako... to Zoomie 2013/02/16 23:46:56

Why shouldn't the Gulf be ours? Why should we withdraw from the Gulf and cede it to those other countries I named?

For one reason only: so that Barack Hussein Obama can become President of the Earth!

You must be a liberal then. Most don't own cars. Go get a job at the old Fitgers brewery. Theres plenty of job openings in that area for younger kids. As a liberal-in-training, you're going to need all the help you can get. And I don't mean government help!

liberals are all about what the Country can do for their personal agenda and themselves. Republicans are more comcerned about what they can do for their Country to benefit everyone.

In total and per gallon, the answer is no, so far anyway. I changed jobs in late February of 2012 and cut my commute distance by 95%. I fill up my vehicle about once every three weeks while before changing jobs I was filling up every 4-5 days. The price per gallon was around the same and maybe a little higher.

reply
Avi Rosen 2013/02/07 08:32:30

No - I always fill gas for a Hundred bucks... :-O
Only filling Gas had strangely become more frequent. :-/

I don't think an eligible question, whoever think they did not pay more are just eluding themselves.

WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Currency is down you idiot!!! Its supposed to be this way, but thanks to Obama, our dollar is dwindling fast. The world currency (American dollar) will soon be the yuan due to the fact its becoming worthless. Several countries are now trading with gold vs the US dollar.

reply
Brandon to DavidK 2013/02/09 20:12:00

Your calling me an idiot?

So, when the amount of currency in the market is going up, thus decreasing the value of the dollar and your and my buying power is decreasing yet wages stay the same, coupled with the fact that prices are going up in order for business's to continue making profit...............

It's called inflation and it's not just Obama, it's been going on since the creation of the Federal Reserve. We live on a fiat Currency......the currency is created from debt, money is debt and the only way to create more money is by creating debt.

Do some research please, especially before you call someone an idiot.

DavidK to Brandon 2013/02/10 14:52:14

I've done my research you fool. Believing Obama is advancing our economy proves you have no clue.

I feel sorry for wasting my time with such a sad and ill informed individual such as yourself. It's such a shame that you have the potential for being a civil individual, instead choose to make a mockery of yourself.

Every year we burn imported oil is another year America can save it's own reserves when the rest of the world dries up. Once it's gone, there will be no more. Petro chemicals are priceless to this society the world is used to now. Our oil reserves will be the last chance stepping stone to a new technology to replace the energy source we have burned away. So don't be too hard on folks for not using it up now. How impressive will Islamic terrorism be without the petrodollar? it might actually be a time to look forward to.

The President has no control over gas prices. He doesn't have any control over paying the Oil companies subsidies while they raise prices and make record profits either. However, Congress could do something about it. They don't because the Oil companies grease their palms with money and the public doesn't threaten to "un-elect" them unless the force the oil companies to lower prices. Want to get your oil prices down? All it takes is to rally the public to force their Congress people to pass legislation to make it happen.
