Here's a petition just put together by our wonderful Governor Janet Napolitano to turn into the white house about our gas prices here in Arizona. I urge you to fill it out and heck if you can fill it out for your friends and family too if they're in the state. Let's all see if this will make any type of difference.

Gas Prices can kiss my ass (http://www.azgovernor.gov/lowerfuelprices/)

And what exactly would it hurt to sign it?


...nothing so sign it you panzies
:D

The cool thing is that AZ is probably the only state to have thought of a petition about gas prices, or at least the first state. Therefore, the White House will take care of us right away by cutting prices in half and giving us refund checks for the high prices we have been paying. They can easily do this because the White House is where gas comes from and they own it all. As soon as other states figure out that they can simply get a petition signed (online) it will be too late for them because AZ is getting all the breaks in pricing. :furious:

Please, don't mind me. It's late and I've had a rough week. The only good news is that I don't have to buy any gas at the moment. My car is on jackstands in the garage with no exhaust, and I mean NO exhaust, on it. Oh and it has a seized caliper pin. Until my parts come in, I'll be thumbin' it. :mad:

Now that all that's off my chest, I've got a petition to sign. :p

Janet Napolitano is so hot. i wonder when the petition for having bad gas will start. you know 91 oct

This is a waste of time. The price of oil is set by oil futures traders on the world market, not congress.

Exxon's profits compared to other companies (From USA Today):

Exxon's profit margins are below-average compared with others that have triggered no outcry. Exxon's first-quarter profit margin was 9.4%, meaning it kept 9.4 cents of every $1 in revenue. Microsoft kept 27.3 cents of every $1 in revenue in its most recent quarter; General Electric, 11.4 cents and McDonald's, 12.3 cents. In fact, Exxon is below the 11-cent average of Standard & Poor's 500 companies, says analyst Howard Silverblatt.

The best way to lower prices is to drill for more oil, such as ANWAR, and build more refineries.

As for alt fuels, there are many companies already performing research and getting federal incentives

Bush and the Goverment may not have the ability to set the price of oil, but what it does have the power to do is:

1. Tap the national reserves to lessen the need for foreign oil, which would bring down the price.

2. Find out if Oil companies are price gouging. Although the profit margin of Exxon and other oil companies may not be as high as other non-oil companies, they are still reporting "record" earnings. Also, how is that crude oil futures go up 5-10 percent while the price of a gallon of gas goes up 20-40 percent?

That is what Bush and the Government can do for us as oil consumers.

I agree. It's not being done. Of course it doesn't help when environmentalists refuse to let us explore/drill for oil on our own soil.

I doubt the oil companies have been price gouging. I think when Mahmud Ahmahdinajad threatens to bomb Israel, traders panic and raise the price of oil on the world market. It's bogus.

Oil companies are reporting record earnings because there's more of a demand from contries like China and India. People are still driving larger vehicles regardless of gas prices. You can pay the CEO of Exxon $900mil/year and it wouldn't affect the cost of oil. The fact that we haven't built a refinery in the US in over 30 years is a problem. Alt fuel will eventually be the answer. In the meantime, though, build more refineries so we can process more of our own oil.
