Gas in the UAE today is $1.70 per gallon...
Edited on Tue May-15-07 01:43 AM by JCMach1
Gasoline is distributed by free market companies here.


However, EXCESSIVE PROFITS are NOT allowed...


Brought to you from the free market ain't all it's cracked up to be file...

Feel free to rant against American oil and gas companies if you like. They are the problem.

1. If I mentioned the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, I get called anti-business.
And nobody in the Democratic Party except a few "fringe" leftists have floated serious application of this old law from the 1800s.

2. Why can 'pukes get away with running on an anti-labor platform?
Thank you corporate media.

3. Of course federal and state taxes would add to that base 1.70 in the US
However, gas in most places would/should be under $2.50
