Yer when it comes to money grubiness, I would say the Euro's (out of developed nations) have it the hardest 100%.

‘Perhaps 60% of today’s oil price is pure speculation’

Interesting read for people like me who don't buy into the demand causing gas prices to triple in the past few years.

If you watch the crude oil market at all you see the price falling slightly yet the US fuel price average has risen all month long making our average price finally jump past $4/gal. This is getting old driving 110 miles a day for work making hardly any money. If the price of oil and demand is down why are these crooks still raising the price for fuel globally?

Where have you been? Crude oil rose the highest amount in one day its ever done on Friday, at like 12.00 a barrel. its gone up nearly every day.

Well the last time I looked was last wednesday lol. That would explain it!!

Whats odd is usually the midwest is just as expensive as LA, NYC and the other majoor cities or sometimes more. But last week it was down to 3.86 most places and this is when the rest of the country started to average 3.99+. I dont think they have any real rhime or reason to the way they price this. Its probably more like "We need to go buy the Bahamas today...raise the price of oil!"

[shizzle], I think the Flinstones had it right.

The EU has been hit hard by fuel prices too. Truck drivers are on strike right now in Spain and France over high diesel prices. Here is a link to EU market prices

I blame OPEC for driving up oil prices more than the US government or Bush. OPEC has not wanted to increase output which would help to alleviate the high prices a little. It looks like high energy prices may push the world economy into a recession.
