If it was for oil...
Why am I paying $1.80 cents plus for gas?

Does Haliburton have a hold of the oil spigots?

It has a bit to do with the depreciation of the dollar, among other things. Halliburton has nothing to do with it.

Actually this seems a good time for another Bush-bash. Something is fishy.
Not only didn't he do anything about saving energy didn't he all but preach an SUV in every garage, americans should use lots of gas, and by the way we should open up more land to oil-drilling instead. Who doesn't pump the oil but does supply drilling supplies? Halibut connected of course to the arch-flounder Chaney.
Why did he choose hydrogen as his energy saver when it is only something for the future and which actually costs more energy to produce then it puts out???

The saddest part about the current gas prices, is the last time I heard, this is "Enjoy the prices while you can" period because unless recently contradicted the prices are predicted to sky rocket even higher by Summer time.

And I own a big Chevy.

LOL Schwartzy

It is all a big rip off, But I find it hard to complain about our prices now after hearing the brit's pay $4.00 a gallon in just taxes!

WOW

Afew others came on and said it was even higher elsewhere

So I can feel alittle better about paying what I do and my bike will get alot more miles on it also! LOL

Look funny out on a date though!

Wish someone would be polite enough to put a wee dumb Brit in the picture

How many cars do you have in the States that run on gas? In the UK it's less than 1%. Here in Malta it's zero
