$262/barrel Oil

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

dude, just get something with a desil, and brew yourself up some bio-desil from leftover vegtable oil from any resturant :)

With what those prices could be, even owning a motorcycle would suck. That would be insane if prices every got that high. You'll see drive-offs with every other car! :D

No wonder Mark keeps buying bikes. He's going to sell them for a HUGE profit! lol

I am talking about the airline industry as a whole, not individual companies. Of course companies come and go, but industries do not (with rare exceptions).
So you dont think Bush being a huge Oil tycoon has ANYTHING to do with our high oil prices?? I beg to differ, but everyone has there own opinion I guess. Just seems a lil to coincidental to me. I just hear other countries crying about it as much as the U.S.

Yes Bush owns the middle east and is driving oil prices just so he can make some sweet money... please...

Do some research on how oil prices are controlled and how oil goes from the ground and eventually ends up in the consumers hands. Prices are not controlled by Bush or the govt. Its the suppliers and distributors that contribute to that. Supply and demand...

Im in class right now so I cant talk much.

Do some research

Liberals know how to do research?

I doubt this could ever happen. I think the most it could ever get to is about $5 and I still doubt it would last that was for long. Once you start charging that much no one is going want to pay for it and they are going to have lower the prices again or my guess is they will lose an ass load of money. I don't know how much of this is true or not, but my dad told me back in the day when prices were getting up to $3/gallon that it was illegal for the companies to charge that much and they were doing it because with all of the media talking they thought they could sucker people into paying that much. Supposedly (according to my dad) the government caught on and was threatening to sue the companies so they lowered the prices to save their asses. Either way, if the prices get this high at all, I think it would be farther off in the future, and with our economy the way it is, I don't think it would last long. But I do agree with Hughes. I don't agree with people blaming Bush. I'm not for or against Bush, but Hughes is right. He's not God. He doesn't control the whole world. Thats just my opinion.

The prices better go up or the poor oil companies will go under. Oh wait, maybe not:

You think enough people could quit driving cars that they would be able to lower the demand enough to control oil prices?? We are so dependant on oil, I have a feeling they could do just about anything they want, if they charge 4 times as much, they only need 1/4 of the customers. How do you think goods will get shipped around the country, and other things that need oil that aren't optional.

Sadly enough, until we figure out how to make hydrogen powered cars with hydrogen produced by nuclear powered electrolysis, we are going to be way to dependent on fossil fuels to do anyhting about it if the shit hits the fan.
