Linda makes a dam good point. Remember folks we were paying somewhere in the 1.20s range before the big increase. And as someone else mention back in the late 90s we were paying around 1.00 to 1.10. Hell i remember paying .67cents for the cheap stuff back in the late 80s!

Yes they are alot better though.

Here it ranges from 1.60 to 1.67 for the cheap stuff. I'll be alot happier if and when it goes below 1.50.

It's certainly a good point that Linda made, indeed!
Still, one can't help but rejoice at the lower prices!

I read something like we are paying on average 10 cents per litre more than we should be. An average of 30 cents per gallon.

I blame the government for taxes and the world oil companies.

I did a paper on the basis of climate change in Alaska in association with ANWR.

Yes, I would be nice to drill for oil in Alaska, but with the arctic have issues with climate change (permafrost melting, ice caps disintegrating at a rapid rate, icebergs too young, animal migration patterns changing) the communities around ANWR would feel the need to move to a more 'stable' ground. The companies involved with the ANWR project do understand that it would cost more money to remodel or rebuild the equipment necessary for oil drilling. For example, the winter season is getting shorter which means that there is more shipping days. That means chances are higher for a spill like the 1989 spill of the Exxon Valdez. However, the low pressures are stronger than before and that could cause a need to develop infrastructure that can handle the mauling cyclones. With the permafrost melting, there has been a shift in the pipeline supports around ANWR. The oil companies are reshifting the Pipeline... making it taller in some spots for the caribou and remodeling parts demolished from the melting permafrost.

Drilling would only occur on the coastal plain which is less than 10% of the whole entire area of ANWR. For those of you that don't know... ANWR is roughly the size of South Carolina. The Inuipat Eskimos do support drilling, and they are aware that it would bring hundreds of jobs to the north shore regions. The North Shore oil industry currently expels almost 1 million barrels a day, and if drilling occurred in ANWR, the production of oil barrels would be second only to Saudi.

Yes, we all know the oil continues to be a critical exhaustible resources that is helping to furnish our energy-svay demands. But, we have to take into consideration that oil will not be around forever.

Does anyone remember the people who said the Saudis were keeping the gas prices low for Bush to win?

muahahahahaha funny, they are going lower instead of rocketing upwards.
