[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by BNSF railfan.</i> <br /><br />There is always this big complaint in this country about high gas prices. I wounder why. <br />This country consumes way too much oil. Their is plenty of oil,just not enough refineries to convert the oil to gas. People burn way too much oil as it is. And if you think that the high price of gas has got you all hot over the collar? Just wait till winter rolls in. <br />Home heating oil is going through the roof this year. And so is natural gas. Those two alone are going to make for a very bad year in heating bills alone. Anyway...... <br />The price of oil has come down to about 6% so far. If something where to happen to one of the refineres in this country you can expect prices to sky rocket even higher than they are now. Someone on the fox news channel has said that the refineres have been pushed to their limits. Drivers are burning 10 times more fuel than the refineres can produce......and that is very Dangerous. The ONLY way to try to keep prices down in this country is that drivers must learn to CUT BACK on their driving habbits. In which won't happen. Now as for the price of gas. Gas prices need to go as high as somewhere's of $10.00 to $15.00 a gallon to force people to cut back. But in the mean time give the Trucking company's and the Railroads a price cut so that our goods will be delivered to the stores on a timely manner. I hate to say this but......American drivers are to blame for the rising price of gas in this country. The more you burn gas the more it takes to restore it which costs ten times as much more. I hope for the better in this country that American drivers will try to cut back. But only time will tell.
