No wonder, I was watching FOX news this morning and was stunned to find out that Mexico, China, Venzuala, Argintina, Bolivia,and a host of other countries are pumping oil just outside the US 3 mile territorial limit all up & down the west coast and the Gulf. Thanks to our libs in congress and their hug a tree constituents, we are not allowed to drill for oil in those areas. Wonder how much of this oil is sold back to the US at $137 a barrel?

Heard too that some truckdrivers in Texas are saving a couple hundred per fillup by buying diesel across the border. Drivers say they need to go thru some paperwork and explanations when re-entering but its worth it.

It's actually better gas than here. .89 octane vs .87 octane here and it doesn't have the carbon level we have here due to centerfuged pumps and filters.
Sorry, but I would not trust gas from Mexican gas stations.

Don't heap all the blame for the absurd mess that our Nation's energy crisis is in on George Bush. He, and his entire Administration, can be seen as a consecutive contributor to a failed National Energy Development policy that has been a constant since the late 1960s = BOTH Parties have put their heads in the sand, ignored the inevitable = $4.50+ per gallon in many parts of the USA today.

The immediate future doesn't look too bright with projections of $5 - $7 per gallon mid-grade and premium gas on the horizon for 2009!

Even if you extract the speculative investor out of the equation, we are still looking today at an adjusted "real" retail price of around $3.25 per gallon based on our being held hostgage to OPEC controlled imports. Think huge demand increases from China are going to vanish? Think again!

America's deficient Energy policies or lack thereof have put "us" in the crapper. Maybe we can recover by aggressive energy development over the next five years. On that subject, who do you believe can achieve that goal with our current crop of Presidential hopefuls?

Other than Ron Paul (who really doesn't have a chance) it's down to Barrack "Slick" Obama or John "maybe I can" McCain. Those who actually have the ba..s to be truly effective don't want to go near the job of President because of the crazed partisanship in DC that road block pro-USA legislation and prevent an elected Party from doing the job they are supposed to be doing.

So, as you fill up at the gas station (1/4 of a tank?) and shop for a loaf of bread that now costs anywhere from $2 - $4 per loaf and look at price increases of 14% -25% of just about everything we buy you may well ask "Why have WE let this happen?"

Think on that as we approach the General Election!

richard... i must say.... that president bush or president kerry.... it wouldn't have mattered....

our issue is a supply and demand issue....

we, americans, seem to think that the world revolves around us..... but it doesn't...... this oil issue is an issue because two of the largest population centers in the world have been pushing harder and deeper for the democratic lifestyle..... i am speaking of course of china and india..... do you realize how many more million drivers the world has seen in the past decade because their economies have been bolstered up and their people can get off of the bicycles and get into their very own cars.... cars which did not exist prior and cars that, of course, burn petroleum.....

so... the supply has not kept up with the blooming demand.....

with that said, what was our administration to do? tell the chinese and indians not to go out and buy a car.... not to drive their car? absurd....

what can be done.... and what needs to be done.... is to open up more sources of petroleum.... if that means utilizing national lands..... or more offshore (which i agree with) or ??....

but the status quo is not the way to go..... and hugging trees isn't the way to go either....

development of new areas of exploration costs big bucks..... but the profit is there and if the american people and their government decided that we needed it to be done and cut all the red tape for the companies..... it could get done...
