The oil companies claim supply and demand?

but on the busiest travel day ( thanksgiving) the gas prices went down,, so who is lying?The oil companies claim supply and demand?
Ahh, its all a scam. There is no shortage.


The profits of the oil companies ALL increased last year


( by billions of dollars)


Until someone comes up with an alternate and efficient source of power for our cars we are at there mercy.


Kind of like that electrical shortage a few years back in California.


All a scam ,there was no shortage power was just re routed to create a false shortage.The oil companies claim supply and demand?
The environmentalists and congress are to blame. The environmentalists won't let us drill offshore, every time the oil companies try they take them to court, they fight every effort to drill in ANWAR. The stupid republicans don't have the guts to stand up for it. Then we can't build new refineries because some treehugger is worried about a tree slug or some other worthless animal. When oil prices were low it was to expensive for oil companies to invest in new equipment, now that oil prices are up they are starting to re-invest, but it will take time.





Oh one other thing is all these stupid blends in this country that is mandated by the government that really don't do anything. Then forcing the oil companies to waste time on ethanol doesn't help either.





While some local stations collude on what they are going to charge. (I have been in a gas station when another station has called to ask what they are charging that day).
Well they supply gas, and then demand high prices. And we're stuck paying them. GO! Figure
Supply and demand doesn't work like that. That's too short term. Anyway, do you have a link where this price drop was reflected because I can't find any evidence of that.





Besides, you're only looking at one side of the equation. There's the supply side which you failed to do research on. I guess it's the nature of the beast to complain when prices go up and complain when they go down.
Supply and demand alright!We demand it they supply it,they are a business that's in business to make money for their shareholders plain and simple. I know it sucks but that's the truth.
I will supply this demand,STOP PRICE GOUGING THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.We deserve better from our goverment.Now I know,Robin Hood had the right idea.
