    Just heard it on the news for the first time this evening...."rising gas prices can be attributed in part to the Iran problems"

    And here I thought rising gas prices was because the weather is getting nicer, so everyone involved wants more profit....

        Nope, I am pretty positive it is because of China. Only going to get worse too. Eventually a lot more of them will get cars.

          You being provocative again Jim?

          Seriously... na, there may be elements of turbulence, but doubt Iran is the problem. They are OPEC members and OPEC is churning out their quota of oil without much problems.

          Odd fact about Iran... after Katrina hit, Iran immediately donated around 50 - 70 million barrels of oil to aid in hurricaine relief. (Tho FEMA prob have not delivered it yet! )

            It is Related to nothing more then the Fact that Exxon and all those people had RECORD profits last year. So in order to keep padding there pockets they must have another RECORD year this year. IT is straight up Robberry and profeteering

                    I don't believe that is true. In the wake of the hurricane, Iran "offered" to donate 20 million barrels of oil. I don't think it ever went beyond that "offer" nor do I suspect they ever intended it to.

                      Didn't oil hit an all time high yesterday? It's possible some of it is due to speculation.....and said speculation is the excuse needed for gouging, which happens around this time of year anyway.

                          Exactly.

                          Exxon Mobil's 2005 net income for the year comes to $1,146 a second. That per-second profit is enough to pay for gas for the average American vehicle to be driven 10,294 miles, at current gasoline prices.

                            Gas prices increases are a result of the following..

                            Price speculation is a a factor..

                            Corporate greed..

                            Now the serious one's..

                            More than 2 million barrels less a day on the market.
                            Oil companies saying Gulf Coast states still no 100%.
                            The driving/travel/warmer/vacation season is around the corner (demand)

                            It has nothing to do with war speculation, or Fox News.

                                Gas company gouging - plain and simple.

                                They have to pay off that fucking Exxon CEO who just retired.

                                $398 million retirement package!!!!!????!!!!!!!!!??????????

                                FUCK ME!

                                Meanwhile, here in Canada - we don't rely as heavily on imported oil from the middle east as our southern cousins...so the higher prices is still just gouging.

                                Luckily I filled up earlier in the day when it was still 97.3cents/litre - most places have gone to $1.15/litre.

                                Fuckin' crooks...

                                  You are correct SF.. my bad. Just checked...

                                  The offer was also subject to US sanctions being lifted first and doubt that offer would have been accepted by the US admin.

                                    It doesn't matter if they dump 1000 million gallons of oil on the market. There are still a limit on the number of refineries. They are (supposedly) all max capacity, and can't produce anymore gasoline no matter the amount of oil dumped on the market.

                                    Or that is one of the many oil company excuses. Which go hand in hand with no new one's being built in 30 years, and "no one wants them in their backyard".
