Iraq is responsible for 9/11. Iraq is responsible for 9/11.

Repeat a lie often enough and you will believe it.

Great Book: House of Bush/House of Saud by Craig Unger. Tried to get it this weekend and didn't...but I heard the author interviewed for an hour on Democracy Now. My God. The goods that man has on the Bush Dynasty is incredible.

Yes, actually, I have been there and seen the appaling price of petrol. I have also seen your excellent mass transit system. We don't have that available to us, unless you happen to live in a very urban area. There are no public busses that come to my town and will take me to the next town. I have to get myself there and it can be a long way! Distances here tend to be longer, towns are not close to each other, we are very spread out. The closest place to me has about 800 people and it is a 10 mile drive. Bear in mind, it is a larger place than my town, with it's 200 people, but there isn't anything to do in the closest place, really. To shop at a department type store, it's a 70 mile trip, one way! And no bus to take me there and no busses when I get there to take me around the city. The closest city with a mass transit system is a 6 hour drive away! I can't even take the train to that city as it no longer stops in the city 70 miles from me! If I go there, which I do as I have family there, I have to take myself.

We don't all live in LA! >shudder
The last time I was at the gas station, I got $10.00 worth and it was about 1/4 of a tank. It cost me $2.01 per gallon. I don't know what that works out to in Pounds and Litres, I do know it's higher for you guys, $2.00 I think would be a bit over 1 Pound? (In 2002, the exchange rate was $1.00 = 1 Pound 50.) But we have our own oil source in Alaska, it shouldn't be that high! And according to my daughter in Iowa, gas is cheeper there. No one seems to know why we pay so much!

Hi KathyV from Oreeegon,

Would prices be higher in other countries based on the laws of supply and demand...I am assuming these higher priced gasoline / fuel countries have a good mass transit systems as well as being smaller in size than the US so its not hard to get around.

Also assuming that most little towns in these smaller countries have all or most of the supplies its residents need within walking or maybe even cycling distance much like in NYC USA.

So maybe if there were a more demand for fuel maybe the prices would be lower?

Please forgive the ignorant assumptions if I am indeed wrong....

Why would you think that?

That's why I imagine there's no e-America.

We dont only talk about visiting in these VCI boards, there is a world of information here and there.

Ive heard a lot of yankee go home...just would be nice to have an American board from VCI, I like their set up

I don't know if this plan would work or not, seems like everytime there is a huge demand, prices go sky high! Holiday weekend and prices go up. Spring break and prices go up. Summer and prices go up... There is a movement afoot to halt gas consumption from some of the major oil companies such as Mobile and Standard.... There again, if you have access to only one or 2 companies, it won't work. If we decided to boycot, say, Texaco, we wouldn't drive! I heard once that we should boycot all companies who import their products from Middle Eastern companies and buy only from American based companies who get oil from the American Southwest and/or Alaska.

Last_Knight, even a disfunctional and flawed transit system looks pretty good to one who has none! Don't get ne wrong, the States does have a decient system, the East and large urban areas around the country have them but a fat lot of good it does those of us who will never live where they are! I prefer my horse and buggy town to the Eastern Seaboard!

So I'll buy my expensive tank of gas, nurse it along as long as I can and tell my self 'Merry Christmas to me' everytime I refuel! LOL

Am I right to think you are saying that having a higher demand for oil would reduce the price of it? If that's what you're saying, I think you've got the idea of supply and demand mixed up.
The higher the demand the more expensive the product is, the lower the cheaper. That's why importing from the Middle East makes oil much cheaper because it makes more of it.
On the supply and demand, look at Gold that's expensive because it's high in demand, there's not much of it.


If you didn't say what I thought you said, I apologise. My brain is somewhere else this afternoon.
