Indeed. Saudi Arabia is looking at MAJOR refinery additions. We haven't opened any new ones since the mid 70's.Originally posted by JJ GoldThe problem is lack of refining capacity. There are very few refineries in North America. Companies who own refineries have a right to profit. It is supply and demand. The government should allow new refineries if they want to remedy the situation.AMK Hosting - 3.2Ghz, 1GB RAM, 2x300GB RAID1 + 10Mbps for $249mo.

That's cool..but their current prices are about 20% low. And they aren't good at predictions either.Originally posted by rickholioIf you're interested in real numbers and graphs direct from the Dept of Energy, take a look here. It's updated regularly and has the REAL numbers.

The prices are 20% low cuz the graph only extends to july 1, 2005. It doesn't reflect the last month's increases... I believe they summarize the data quarterly.Originally posted by fudpuckThat's cool..but their current prices are about 20% low. And they aren't good at predictions either.
They do provide all the data in excel format, so you can add in your own adjustments. It does provide for a dramatic upswing at the tail end there.

Personally I think Exxon-mobil should be tried for war profiteering.
They have fucked the country for billions since the war has started. Just look at their profits since the start of the war.They took a huge jump. I'm not talking about the price of oil, I am talking about only profit margin.
With an oil pres it will never happen, but I hope those motherfuckers that run the companies, lose every one of their children over there.
Then again the republican controlled congress just gave the oil companies a tax break. Real fucking smart. 3 more years and we can throw all these fuckers to the curb!Comment

Get a fucking clue. They have refining capacity. That is in high demand and they have every right to profit. If you think XOM is cleaning up then you should look at VLO.Originally posted by spanky part 2Personally I think Exxon-mobil should be tried for war profiteering.

That's ridiculous!Originally posted by BusterPornI almost bought gas this morning and it was $2.71 but waited until this afternoon and had to pay $2.75 at the same gas station.
They should have at least waited until the next day to change the price!!
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.Comment

They have no refining capacity because they choose to not build more and have just recently closed down one.

I have no problem with profit, but since you don't seem to have your facts straight let me help. Exxon-mobil last quarter just had the largest profit by and american company ever. Real smart giving these guys a tax break.
This is from websters dictionary:
Fascism
1 often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of oppositionComment
-
from encyclopedia brittanica
Philosophy of government that stresses the primacy and glory of the state, unquestioning obedience to its leader, subordination of the individual will to the state's authority, and harsh suppression of dissent.
Martial virtues are celebrated, while liberal and democratic values are disparaged.
Does that sound familiar to anyone?Comment

XOM is the biggest company in the world. For you to whine and complain about "record profits" shows your true colors.Originally posted by spanky part 2Well then you better explain it to me without those little animated gfy's.

It is suplly and demand but it is based on the fact we are demanding more oil then is currently being pumped out of the ground. And unless we find new reserves it is not going ot get better. This current jump is more spec but long term we are in for ugly on the oil front.Comment

Same here. But when I do once a week, to week and a half, it's running me $50 approx all depending. I live close to everything, so luckily longest trip's maybe 7-10 miles round trip. But I still choke at $50 in one stop.Originally posted by dvd316Glad I dont drive much anymore.

A little about XOM and higher profits. They have a revenue share agreement in many of the countries they pump the oil for. So if you get 5% of the profit and the profit just went up 200% it is not unlikely they got a nice bump. Nothing unamerican or criminal about it. The US supported them in making those agreements. We need access to the oil.Comment

Originally posted by JJ GoldAdjust for inflation and look at energy costs as a percentage of GDP. Oil and gas is relatively cheap at the current levels and will not drag the overall economy.
The dollar amount means nothing unless it is a true dollar amount adjusted for inflation.
The way these right wing sheep keep spouting off this bullshit amazes me. Fuel prices have almost tripled in the past 6 years, do you fucking understand that? Were you complaining then that they were to low because they out of line of the rate of inflation? Give me a fucking break.

8mpg?? That's... pretty damn terrible.Originally posted by JuiceMonkeyI get about 320KMS per full tank.. so about 3.2 KMS to the liter..
My van only seems to hold between 70-75, and I can run 450-500km on it depending on AC usage, for around 7.1km/l (around 17mpg... yes, it's a minivan, yes the milage sucks).~

I could see getting 8mpg if you're in Vancouver though, stuck on kingsway trying to get downtown during morning rush or something. Could burn a litre going one block in some of that traffic.Originally posted by JuiceMonkeyhmm jeeze yeah no doubt...

Skytrain was the only way I could tolerate getting around town during work hours. I only took the car in from maple ridge when I absolutely had to haul something or where I was going was so far away from the lines that it would have taken as long by bus (ie. richmond)~
