$3.29 right now, but oil is at $108.06 which will raise the price of a gallon of gas around seven cents a gallon, tomorrow gas should be $3.36/gal.

What are they supposed to do about it? We live in a free market economy. Producers will charge what the market will bear. Don't like it? Don't buy it. Simple as that? Or do you think they (the senators) should do like Hilliary wants and pass a special tax on the oil companies? Starting to sound like a communist scheme then. --hountzmj

What they should do about t is see that these oil companies charge what the market can bear and I don't think that the "average" american can bear to pay these cost to get back and forth to work to a job that doesn't pay very good money,say like Mc'Donalds,Wal-Mart,etc.With oil companies like Exon making well over 40 billion ....enough said!!! But that's the American way isn't it,the rich get richer and the poor keep taking the shaft!!!!!!!!!

These guys are behind you all the way birddog! Glad I'm not the only one who see it that way chico. It is a very short road to socialism when you start restricting profit on the "greedy." What everyone doesn't realize is that the oil companies operate on what is basically a fixed profit margin. They are setup to "profit" +/- 10% no matter what the price of oil / gas is. If crude is $10 / barrel they make 10%. If it's $100 they make 10%. It just so happens that the 10% is bigger at the high end. It's not fair to them to only be allowed to make 8% above a certain price? Put it this way birddog. What if your employer paid you on how much he makes off of the work you do? Some days you might make good money.... others maybe only $2 an hour. But that would be fair right? Since your employer is making less on your work? Instead he pays you a wage that you agree upon. He takes the risk of profit in the end. I would be that some days he even loses money just to keep you happy in your job. I don't think you would go for having your pay cut on the days when money or work is tight. Neither do oil companies or any other company. They set their margin that they can live with and go from there. Some jobs / years have more profit... others have less. It is the way the capitalist (non communist) markets work. --hountzmj

Let me put it this way...you can post all the pictures that you can dig up but what the AMERICAN is now paying for a gallon of gas is totally a rip off and it's going to get worse..now if you want to drive a Toyota or some other foreign made brand then you have the right to do so but me I'll buy AMERICAN,DRIVE AMERICAN and do what ever it takes to STAY AMERICAN. Like shopping at Wal-Mart and buying all their CHINA made junk....bet you guys go there all the time!!!

Its not a rip off, its capitalism. I drive a Ford, and don't go to Wal Mart unless I absoloutly have to. Sounds like you'll be voting for Hillary. With your communist rhetoric you might even make secretary of state.

With your communist rhetoric......
Chico you might care to watch your mouth on who you're calling a communist or whom you're even associating with them.
This started by being a discussion on the cost of gas and why each thought it was out of hand,..now you've taken it a step further and I don't think that the adminstrators of this site would disagree with me on this.

I didn't call you a communist birddog. The situation as you describe it with the language you have used is in line with the writings and politial theories of communists.
