        Indeed. Saudi Arabia is looking at MAJOR refinery additions. We haven't opened any new ones since the mid 70's.

          That's cool..but their current prices are about 20% low. And they aren't good at predictions either.

            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.

            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!

                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.

                You are just another anti-Capitalist idiot.

                Go fuck yourself.

                  That's ridiculous! They should have at least waited until the next day to change the price!!

                    They have no refining capacity because they choose to not build more and have just recently closed down one. Maybe it is you my little republican sheep that needs to get a fucking clue.

                    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:

                    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 opposition

                      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?

                        choose to not build more

                        WTF? That statement alone proves that you are a damn fool and not worth my time.

                        Republican? Give me a fucking break.

                              XOM is the biggest company in the world. For you to whine and complain about "record profits" shows your true colors.

                              Stop with half truths and loaded statements. Surely you are better than that.

                                      And I would love to eat your dick, but it's tha balls that I am having a hard time finding on you.

                                        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.

                                          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.

                                            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.

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.
                                              Man you guys are so funny sticking up for the oil companies when they are fucking us bigtime.

                                                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.

                                                If Clinton was a milkman and the price of milk shot up to $10 a gallon would you be saying the same crap? Fuck no. Pull your head out of Limbaughs fat ass.

                                                  I get about 320KMS per full tank.. so about 3.2 KMS to the liter..

                                                    8mpg?? That's... pretty damn terrible.

                                                    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.

                                                          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)
