[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 376118, member: 13"] They're not "American" companies. You heard Halliburton (they're not an oil company) is moving their headquarters to Dubai? The big oil companies are true international companies. They have offices around the world. Around here gasoline is available from a British company, a Venzeula company as well as "American" companies and it's ALL PRICED THE SAME. Gasoline comes into this country in pipelines or on tankers. It's then put through various processes to add or subtract whatever the particular company adds or subrtacts to make the product meet their standards. CA has their own rules and gasoline for them is probably the most processed gas in the country. I don't remember gas taking a big jump under Clinton. Will you please post something showing that it did AND STAYED HIGH. Gas has always gone up just before the summer driving season and just before winter when a lot of fuel oil is used. But in the past, it's gone back down when those periods were over. But not now. It's gone up, up, up. Small drops, yes, but not for long. Carter got caught up in the Iranian Revolution and was at odds with Iran. During that period, Arab countries took control of their oil reserves. That's when we stopped having a true competitive oil industry, or the beginning. Look around. Does the gas at EXXON cost more/less than the gas at Shell or BP? If one goes up, does the other?
