If the proper decisions had been made ten years ago, we wouldnt have high gas prices.
Too extreme of environmental concerns swayed the public, the public spoke, the politicos listened.
No new drilling, no new oil rigs, no new refinerys.
No new nukes too while were at it. Stupid mistake.
NO CHEAP GAS.
Oh but we want our SUVs too please.
The bed was made, now we sleep in it.
Maybe people will wake up and realize that we DO have massive resources here at home. But it will take years to get it going if the decisions were even made now.
This is economics 101 first ten minutes of class.
Supply and demand.

In London my local petrol station (Tesco) charges £1.09 for a litre of unleaded petrol, and I believe that is quite cheap compared to other parts of the UK. The news yesterday predicted that prices will keep rising to £1.50 per litre by next year.
Im not too sure how that translates exactly into US Dollars and gallons, but you can bet it wont be cheap.

Humm, I was thinking that’s what are president was doing for the last eight yrs, sleeping with the oil companies! Have you taken a look at what their profit reports are as of late. Let stick it to them before he leaves the office!! God, I cant wait till next year! It cant come soon enough. Not to say there is an easy fix but this admin. didnt help a bit!

C'mon guys no Bush bashin or politics, I don't want this closed. This both fascinates and baffles the bejeezus outta me. I don't pretend to understand the first thing about the economics or intricacies of oil and gasoline. How is it that gas in Swaziland (betcha didn't think I knew where that was did ya? ) is .54 and has twice the GDP of Sierra Leone yet their gas is damn near $20?
What's gas in Hawaii? Ours right now in southern Wisconsin is $3.54.

We are paying the equivalent of $1.88 a litre here in Ireland.
How many litres in a gallon?

Oil barrel: 42 US gallons, 158.9873 litres (approx 3.8) So we are paying $7.144 a gallon.
