    Default $4.00

    I was finally hit by $4 gas yesterday. Thanks Obama.

    At least Obama's ratings are dropping a gas prices soar out of control. He deserves the low marks.

    Obama is done. Gas prices aren't going to reverse and his ratings are plummeting as it is. This is going to be a landslide of epic proportions in November. The liberals, at least on this forum, never saw it coming.

    Yeah, yet another stupid thread about gas prices. Vote Republican because gas was always cheap during Bush's term and Republican candidates will magically lower gas prices!

    Will you give Obama credit when gas prices come back down?

    The people are speaking loud and clear. Everyone listens when that happens.

    If gas prices come down, Obama will be a hero. But really, what are the chances of that happening?

    I guess you weren't living in America when President Bush was demonized for gas prices by Liberals.

    Don't you know how the world oil market works?

    Prices go up directly because of Obama.
    Prices go down because of Republican policies and/or magic.

    Did you give President Bush credit when gas prices came down in the Fall of 2008?

    Didn't think so.

    I was. I chose to not be stupid then just as I'm choosing to not be stupid now.

    Intelligence is what politicians fear most...

    You have to admit when a politician makes gas prices a part of his campaign only to see even higher prices during his time in office there is a certain amount of failure and hypocrisy taking place.

    Shame you have no idea how gas prices are determined. Gas station owners for the most part don't make a lot of money off the gas they sell.

    It isn't Obama's or the gas station's fault.

    I disagree, I think the professional libbies see it coming. That is why they are so rabid in distorting the news in attempts to keep the plantation intact and maybe even recruit new members.

    It is an orchestrated effort on a national scale.

    When 0 said "necessarily sky-rocketing energy prices", what did that mean? You remember the event where he looked straight in the camera full of disdain for the American People and the American Way?

    Nevermind the fact that the Bush Admin took action that directly affected oil prices

    Since I owned a full service Crown station in the late 70's..I am pretty sure I know how prices are set...

    Back then, I remember the price wars..Everybody pays the same for the gas, for the most part, but you are correct, there is not all that much money made on gas..At least back then it wasn't...Back then, we would ride up and down and check competitors prices, we would lower ( as would they ) our price to beat theirs...They would lower theirs and so on..Each time it was lowered, obviously the profit margin decreased...

    Today when a station is selling regular gas and 2 miles away the same brand is 20 cents per gallon higher, that owner is making a much larger profit..Now I also now that there is no comparasion to the numbers of gallons sold..The higher priced station is nearly always empty while the lower priced one has cars in it all the time...

    Who is gouging?

    The higher price owner may also be getting charged an extra 20 cents by the dealer he's in a contract with to purchase gas from.

    Prices go up when the economy is growing and come down when it is slowing. There's little that any President can do about that anytime soon...
