Have you noticed the Oil Price increase now that the Economy has started to recover?

I guess the Oil Companies will stick it to us as much as they can.





We really need to get off of our dependence on oil.Have you noticed the Oil Price increase now that the Economy has started to recover?
Well, prices always go up in the summer, because they know everyone is out driving around.





But you're right, because Middle Eastern governments pay al-Qaeda not to bomb their oil fields. That money, of course, comes from people who buy their oil -- us. The money we use to fill up our gas tank goes to buying Kalashnikovs and explosive devices that al-Qaeda uses against our troops:

It's summer time. Get off your tails, purchase a bicycle and boycott oil. Let it flop! Our tax dollars may bail out the industry. Who really cares? Ride your bicycle or walk around town. Take the train and airplanes when traveling long distances...I guess a greyhound or Amtrak commuter bus if you have to. Seriously, the reason that they can play around with the prices is because you will keep buying it.





Besides, you have more time to collect your thoughts when you ride your 21-speed or stroll somewhere.





Lazy, entitled Americans...





EDIT (as I am not done): I say triple the gas taxes and let the government put it in an account that will magically get drained one day, just like every other account that they have since so many of you are in support of taxing my tobacco that I CHOOSE to purchase.
Are you really sure of that, the increase is probably from the new taxes Obama wanted to impose. Remember, He said that he did not have a problem with $4.00 a gallon gasoline, just that it happened too quickly. Why is gas going up faster than the price per barrel? I think it's the government controlling the price, not the Oil Companies.


But yes, we need to get off our dependence on Foreign Oil. Drill at home.
Yes. It has nothing to do with demand of course. Since the Stimulus bill lowered with holding of pay check taxes the Oil producers want to get that money just as that direct stimulus check had gone right to them when they rose the costs to over $4 a gallon last year. And if it were just a matter of riding a bike or walking that would be fine.The higher prices are also going to be on food and all other things we as humans need to survive. So we need to not eat? Not buy needed medicines (costs more to transport them to the hospitals and retail outlets).
WHEN did the economy ';recover'; ???








GM just closed 1100 dealerships.


Chrysler just closed 1000 dealerships





GM is bankrupt


AIG is bankrupt


CitiBank is bankrupt





Housing market is dead in all but 2 or 3 small towns





MY business is still DOWN....


MY 401K is still DOWN....








DAMMMMIT.... how come I didn't get a memo that the economy recovered?
I agree our dependence on energy from other countries must end an alternatives need to be developed and you also need to remember the supply and demand as summer driving peak months are ahead. Hey if you don't like paying for gas you are always welcome to walk or ride a bike.
The economy started to recover? News to me...





Couldn't be that the oil market is finally reacting to all of the money that the Fed has flooded the market with, could it?
Could you please let the rest of us know where you get your economic data showing the economy to be in recovery?


You, obviously, read different news papers than I do.
It goes up every spring - the refineries have different regulations for different seasons.





The economy has not recovered.
I have noticed the price of gas going up





But am perplexed by what you consider to be the signs of recovery.
This question is silly and deceptive. The economy is not recovering.





Also, they are jacking up prices for the summer.
The economy still sucks, but demand always surges in the summer because people travel.
The price always goes up for the summer driving season, but I agree. I have a hybrid and a bicycle.
The economy isn't recovering the oil companies are just cutting production to raise the price.
Economy recover? Not around here.
I have noticed for at least my entire adult life that oil and gas prices go up in the beginning of the summer.
How has this economy started to recover?
Gas prices always raise in the summer-





But I agree we need to shift from oil-
It's on Obamas watch. Where's the outrage?
i have a horse and buggy i can sell you
