I do not know what is your problem. We have to pay two dollars for one litre of gas, that is more than 7 dollars of one stupid gallon of gas!
And we here it is worst… The more than half of it is only the tax. Now, when the dollar is so cheap, the us rises the prices, to compensate it. But our oil company do not keep the prices on the same level, because the price of oil is rising, they have to rise the prices too. As the dollar would be on the same level…

Thanks for the comment Jim, but from what I have read the oil companies are making record profits as of last quarter. 2/1/08 - Exxon shatters profit records Oil giant makes corporate history by booking $11.7 billion in quarterly profit; earns $1,300 a second in 2007. 4/1/08 - Congress To Question Big Oil Profits I understand that oil companies are having to pays high prices too, but they are still making large amounts of money in one form or another. The working people in this world are going deeper in debt by the minute with the rising fuel prices that literally affect everything we buy. I agree with bbrian017 that is shocking to fill the tank when you go to the gas pump and there has been talk about hit $5 a gallon this summer. My husband drives a small four cylinder car over a hundred miles a day to work and back, it is hitting us hard.

Funny rant post, but you are misinformed. The oil companies aren’t taking huge profit off of this. They are making the same amount that they have been. The only companies making money are drillers and the like, which is NOT where you buy your gas.

The gas prices are seriously retarded! I drive a Volvo and it’s 80 canadian dollars to fill up the tank!
