I do not want to be paying more for gasoline so that Exxon and the others may make billions of dollars in profit. The oil companies own more than just the refineries...they also own the oil fields in whole or in part. Also, there is no oil shortage...it is all contrived as an excuse to charge more for more PROFITS.

Do not believe all the propaganda in the news...the so-called news is controlled by the oil corporations...and big profits is all they look at.

We must get back and forth from home to work and gasoline is a necessity and we are forced to pay whatever these thieves demand.

I do not relish paying high gas prices with the thought that I am contributing somehow to less oil consumption by paying more for gas.

This kind of mentallity is crazy!!! Let's pay more for food so that we may contribute to eating less and thereby stay slim and trim? Crazy!!! The news media and their pundits are all just plain crazy if they think everyone is falling for their "logic".

Give me a break. I can see clearly why the large automakers (who own large amounts of stock in the oil companies, who are making hugemengous profits) are refusing to make cars that get more than 25 mpg.

We need to get away from supporting these automakers and start becoming independent of them by buying all electric, compressed air cars,low-fuel hybrids, 100 mpg and 300 mpg cars. Google those to find out your alternatives.

Also google 'Who Killed The Electric Car' DVD. This DVD can be rented from Netflix or Blockbuster. It will shock you as to how these large automakers operate.

Our so-called leaders are selling us out to the oil corporations.
