Almost any energy/ economy expert will tell you no President has any effect on fuel prices in the short term. It takes decades for any policy to have any effect and usually the contributing effect would be relatively small compared to normal market forces.
If you don't like gas prices, don't buy gas. The price will drop considerablysigpic

Greg, why just throw out a random number? What not $20? Or $5? Or $4.75? You always do this, yet according to the freakout when we crossed the psychological $4-line, I'd be hesitant to assume it'd trend the same to $7, or double current the gas price. (Doubling from three years ago is VERY different from nearly doubling from four years ago - we're still below the 2008 peak pricing and simply have recovered like the stock market)

Or buy a Volt. "idea whose time has not come" ... maybe not at $3, but as it inches back up to $4, maybe $4.50, it will be come a more and more attractive option.
Although, no matter how little oil we buy, China is gonna buy a shit-ton of it. And as long as the average American dumps money on unneeded cheap "stuff" at Walmart and moneys go to the Chinese economy, more and more development will take place there and a larger demand for oil will result.Last edited by rwh11385; 03-02-2012, 02:02 PM.

I for one don't want to see another war in the this part of the world. Hard line or not guess what Iran is gonna make a Nuke no matter what we say, Because they don't care so.
I for one don't think our economy can stomach much higher prices gas at my local station has jumped to 3.85 for regular. it's 4.05 for 93 octane this is up 10 cents in one day. Yeah. Oh diesel is 4.28 so am I freaking not really but I think saber rattling got us oh no where with good old North Korea so Iran gonna just build a few because they can.
Then what, roll the tanks...They are a country with a government so it really doesn't matter if we say they can not build a Nuke. We have gone backwards with this country on diplomacy. Heck 4 years ago I landed over there for so UN earthquake relief mission. Was kinda cool since not to many of us can say hey I have been to Iran.

Well the lack of new production in the gulf in years thanks to the defacto drilling ban is really not helping things one little bit and that is 100% on Obama and his administrationOriginally posted by FusionIf a car is the epitome of freedom, than an electric car is house arrest with your wife titty fucking your next door neighbor.

The U.S. still imports more than half its oil. But thanks to declining demand for products made from crude, the country is now supplying the rest of the world by exporting record amounts of gasoline.
The United States is awash in gasoline. So much so, in fact, that the country is exporting a record amount of it.
So,if other countries are willing to pay more, we will not see lower prices here, regardless of the amount of crude available for refinement.Am I missing something?

but obama is contributing with executive orders and policies that have curtailed production and exploration here.“There is nothing government can give you that it hasn’t taken from you in the first place”

2009 inflation: -0.34%
2010 inflation: 1.64%
2011 inflation: 3.16%
Inflation (or dollar being worth less doesn't explain the change in oil price)
global oil production has struggled to keep up with increased demand recently, particularly from Asia. In China alone consumption has risen by over 4m barrels per day in the past decade, accounting for two-fifths of the global rise. In 2010 consumption exceeded production by over 5m barrels per day for the first year ever, as world oil stocks were run down.
Blaming Obama for rising gas prices is like saying the rise in the stock market 40% was due to him. #Simpleton
