Ummm, don't you mean 130.00 a barrel?

That list was put on my board yesterday.
Maybe its time to show the companies who we want to buy our gas and food from. ( along with other products )
Its called American Made/ Not anywhere else
JMHO

It probably was $130. I'm not good at math ( sorry ) not very

sometimes.
I mainly put it there so you have the compaies names that don't buy from Middle East

what exactly does that mean?

I know my shell and bp gas station prices run the same but Bp is sometimes 1-4 cents cheaper.

I think you've got a good point. Unfortunately, in my area there is only 1 gas station on the no import list - and it's all the way across town!!

The reason we import is because the US doesn't have enough refinaries to turn oil into gas.

Therefor we buy GAS from foreign countries. Not oil.

Supply and demand.

Someone needs to come up with alternate sources of fuels to get us off this nightmare ride.

I want OOOFFFFFF!!!!!!

Yes. My husband was part of a discussion on this. The
reason NJ's gas is cheaper than elsewhere in the US
is because we have refineries here. The agreed
consensus was that no one wants a refinery built near
them so we don't have as many as we need therefore
higher gas prices from importing it. This is just what
was said in the discussion.

Citco is owned by the socialists in Venezuela. It is currently on my boycott list due to thier anti-US policies.

The only way to lower fuel prices is to drill for more oil. Demand is not going to go away in the near future so supply must go up to lower prices. The US needs to drill, ANWAR, off the coasts, in the northern plains. Also, we need to rethink using our food supplies as fuel. All that will come of it is high prices at the pump and checkout counter.
