What's Up With The Gas Prices?
« on: November 15, 2005, 12:21:31 PM »
A month ago gas in Minneapolis was almost $3 a gallon, but I just went to the gas station by my house and it's down to $2.03 a gallon. It hasn't been that low in almost 2 years. Are gas prices dropping elsewhere?

It's 2.65 by house in South Gate,CA well L.A lol, , compared to 2.99 a while back.  Congress asked some Oil Company Execs about their sudden profits during one of the quarters for this year, that could be a reason.

It was like $0.88/L last time I saw, but I passed a gas station today on the bus and it was about 85 cents. Way down, in August and September it was like $1.30. I would imagine it's just supply and demand. When the prices were high people cut way back in their use so lower prices were actually making more money in the long run.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

"The executives represented five major companies that, along with their global parent corporations, earned more than $32.8 billion during the July-September quarter. Consumers, meanwhile, saw gasoline prices soar beyond $3 a gallon in the aftermath of supply disruptions caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita."

Why, where do you live that it would be more than that? If you're in the US, this is litres not gallons. A gallon is around 4 litres, US has it so cheap.

A huge increase in prices is very likely to be a result of collusion on the part of the companies, which (correct me if I'm wrong) is illegal in most countries.

no its just supply and demand on the oil markets.... demand outweighed supply so the price rose to over $70/ barrel i believe its dropped below 60 now but this is still 2 - 3 times more expensive than what it was 5 years ago when prices tended to fluctuate between 15 and 30/ barrel. not all petrol stations are owned by the oil companies which is why they say it would be unfair if they used the extra profits they are earning to distaught the price at the pumps lower than the market value, plus they have no obligation to do so....

iraq would just get annexed by iran


That would be a great solution.  If Iran and the majority of Iraqi's are pleased with it, then why shouldn't they do it?

Everytime people bring that shit up about the prices from Europe to the price here in the U.S, we know already dammit.  The complaint is that sudden increase and the profits oil companies enjoyed, and not the actual price of the gas
