3. We've been exporting gasoling for months now, demand in the USA is so low

However, the oil companies still manage to fuck us over.

Retail gasoline prices are rising in the U.S. even though motorists are buying less. Analysts say they have been pushed higher by a steady rise in international gasoline demand. Americans may be using less, but drivers in developing nations are using more.

"It's all part of being in a global market," said Tom Kloza, publisher and chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service.

Americans are using so little gasoline that the U.S. has been a net exporter of refined fuels to other countries for the past nine weeks. That's typical for OPEC countries, but it's extremely rare for the U.S. "You have to go back years and years," Kloza said. "I haven't found a time when we've been a net exporter for that many weeks."

Most of those exports head to Mexico and Canada. The U.S. also sends fuel to dozens of other countries; including the Netherlands, Singapore, Japan, Ecuador, Panama, Chile and Colombia.

How about a LAW putting a $5/gallon export tariff on gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel?

That might solve this tiny problem that we have.


If the developing countries need more gas, they can build their own damn refineries.

9. can you imagine what the prices would be without those well-earned tax breaks

just to be sure... :sarcasm:

What must it be like to work for an oil company--not one of the executives with stock, but just your average joe or josephine--and to see what these rich white-collar guys are doing to the country? I feel bad for them. They can't quit, in this economy, but they must go home and get right into the shower every night to wash the stink off.
