1. We have subpeona power now.....

Which means that the oil execs ARE all coming back to the capital, and this time they all WILL be sworn in and questioned under oath about war profiterring and price fixing, and stuff like why could the gas prices drop right before the election when there was increased violence in the middle-east?

They couldnt be stupid enough to pull that crap becuase if they do they will all rot in jail this time

11. Punish them back. Boycott Exxon/Mobil.

Then the Exxon/Mobil gas station owners will cry for the oil companies to stop the collusion of raising the gas prices.

SPREAD THE WORD. Do not buy anythign from an EXXON/MOBIL Station.

[everythingsxen]

12. YEAH!

Let's all boycott gas stations!

2. My mom lives in San Diego...

...and reports that gas prices already made a jump as election day went on -- and that "experts" are predicting that they will soon climb back to last summer's highs.

3. You are right, it is going to happen...

but we can survive until January. It's going to be hard, but there is a light where once there was not.

4. Haven`t they already been punishing us for 6 years with high gas

prices,2.00 a gallon is not cheap 1.00 a gallon is fair,but not cheap.

5. Darth Vader probably made phone calls yesterday

to hike em up.

[Hubert Flottz]

6. Gasoline went up about 12 cents a gallon here yesterday.

While the price of oil went down over a dollar a barrel on the market yesterday.

7. Hmm...

Fishy isn't it?

8. We were going to get punished by high gas prices no matter what happened

Bushco's backers in Big Oil weren't going to suffer an ongoing drop in their profits, and gas prices were going to start going up imidiately after the election, no matter who won. Sure, we're going to get the polite excuses, OPEC cuts, holiday driving season, etc. But the bottom line is that now, with the elections past, Bushco's backers in Big Oil are going to make up for their lost profits, and prices will start to rise again.

9. They went up 8 cents over night in MI.

I just got back from driving my daughter to the bus stop. :eyes:

10. They are starting to inch up here in North Georgia.

A couple of days ago gas was averaging $1.97 to $1.99. This morning, it is up over $2.00.
