Gas prices. Is there any hope?
Gas has been hitting my pocket book (and let me tell you it isn't much of a sight in the first place) pretty hard. I hear a lot about them going up for this summer.

I don't have a good deal of understanding of all the factos that go into it. There seem to be a million of them. Is there any hope things can get back to a more reasonable level? Can anything be done to fix this anytime soon?

Educate me.

Not until more refineries are built, and they aren't doing that because of the EPA.

Thanks Tree Huggers.

sup Zach. Ive been hearing on some news stations that China is one of the main reasons that our gas prices are going up. Appearantly there using a ton of oil over there or something like that. I know that this statement isnt detailed and sounds kind of rational, but its true and its not gonna get any better anytime soon. Gas is supposed to be around $3.00 a gallon by the middle/end of May.

Don't you remember the good ol days when we first got our liscenses and gas was only $1.10 a gallon. $20 bucks used to fill up my Probe (my first car). I have a Jeep now so obviously a bigger car/more gas, but it costs around $45.00 to fill my tank. It sucks.

Indeed, sounds like a long time ago. I used to have that red Jeep Grand Cherokee.

China uses so much oil now because stupid countries like ours send all of our natural resources over there so they can manufacture products and turn around and sell them back to us for x10 profit.

But hey, everybody loves Walmart right?

Educate me.
Depending on where you are located, I wouldn't be surprised if the price of a gallon of gasoline ever goes below $1.75 again. Also, don't be surprised if you see $2.35+ per gallon before this summer is over.

Heres a good link: http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/p...ml/petbro.html

Basically, increased demand from not only us, but the Far East and India are presently getting damn close to the supply capacity. Also, we haven't built a goddamn refinery in this country since 1978, IIRC. That's bad. Our refineries are almost always at or very near 100% capacity.

Anyway, here's a breakdown of where your gasoline dollar goes:

Is there hope? Maybe some short term hope. In the long run, NO. There is no hope for a non-renewable resource like Oil. Until we develop more efficient forms of energy, and implement them in to affordable solutions, we are screwed. There is too much $$$ in oil right now to give it up and switch to something like hydrogen fuel cells.
