According to this chart, you pay over $5.00/gal. for Gatorade, and I don't hear anyone complaining.

Actually, now that I think about it, you can buy powdered Gatorade and make your own. Quick Google search reveals that a gallon of Gatorade powder is $1.49.

Hehe. My gatorade comment really sparked some debates! My point was that gasoline is relatively, a pretty inexpensive liquid. The fact that we need 50 gallons of it a month, means they could be charging twice what it is now, and it would still sell, so be glad it costs what it does. It's supply and demand, and the demand is pretty steady, so they can really be charging more.

Stupid question, how much gas do you go through in a Europeian enviroment?
I know that I normaly burn through 3 to 4 tanks of gas a week because of my job. The job sights are between 25 and 50 miles(not round trip) apart(about 40 to 80) and I often have to make many trips each day. Then to add to this, most stores are in the next town about 25 miles away(not round trip). I drive a enconomy car, for my 15 gallion tank it used to run me about $27 currently it's about $50.
It's not realy the oil at this moment for the US, but the refineries. A lot of the gas refineries were/are where hurricane Katrina blew through. Even if the arab nations controling the world's primary oil supply sent every drop to the US today, it would take time for gas prices to change and there would still be gas shortages since there are not enough places that are undamaged in the US to convert the crude oil to useable gasoline.

They can charge as much as they want, people would still pay for it, and as long as they do gas prices will never go down.

They will never go down because gas companies realize that we WILL in fact pay $3 a gallon, so why let it go down? Are any of you going to stop buying gas when the war is over and the oil companies *reason* for having the prices be so high suddenly disolves?
