Gas prices on the rise?

[WardL]

I'm pretty sure the way it works is the oil company tries to sell it's products where the refinery will make the most money. While it is not exactly like wigets, if a wiget company could make more money selling wigets in a foreign country after the transportation, taxes and other costs, they would sell it in that foreign country wouldn't they? The EIA website shows for the most recent week we exported 606 KBD gasoline but we imported 788 KBD of gasoline a net import of 182 KBD. We tend to import gasoline from Europe and export our diesel to Europe. There is no silver bullet when the Saudis set the price and the bankers trade crude futures. If you want a new tax, tax energy futures trading world wide but that won't happen because the bankers own the government.

Can't fix the gas prices...guess I'll be riding my bike more.
Checkout Gas Buddy.com for your local daily gas prices, my blood pressure goes up and down with the price of gas......no need to monitor it with a blood pressure gauge.

Cheers !

I've been thinking along the same lines. Maybe it's time to take my old shovelhead out of mothballs. Haven't ridden it since 2002.
