    Unrefined? Leftovers? Good Lord, where do people come up with these ideas?

    Take you own advice and try a little reading:

    good thing you're done with this ...since you don't know what you're talking about!

    "Diesel is what's left after they make gasoline".....you better do some research and understand the actual process of refining oil, before making statements...obviously attended the school of coffee break education at the lunch counter.

    And the statements in this thread about the truckers raising rates is the start of the increased costs...get real people...fuel/oil increases start at the production process, whether it be agriculture, milling, electric production...increase cost from increase demand is not the vehicles on the roads that have the biggest impact...try the industrial complex to start the price increase.

    they must have got their years mixed up...it would have much more impact in a presidential election year....so it must have been 2012 and this was the warm up in 2011!:biggrin_25526:

    There is more supply than demand. Someone is pulling the wool over your eyes. It's socialism (and greed) and it is happening right before your eyes.

    There is plenty of oil right here in the United States but the EPA has such big pull in Washington (at least that's what they want you to believe) that they have everyone convinced some poor lizard in Texas might fail to exist if we destroy it's precious environment.

    Our current government/administration knows if they control the gas, they can control everything else because that is one energy source we rely on so much that if anything happens with gasoline, it affects EVERYTHING ELSE.

    Even if China is buying a lot of gas, who cares. There is plenty here in the U.S. just waiting to be tapped into if those socialist ######## in Washington would lift the drilling ban.

    yeah but how do you know that killing that lizard might not have a larger impact?
    no lizards = more bugs
    more bugs= more crop damage
    more crop damage= less food
    less food= more starving people in america
    more starving people in america= higher crime rate
    higher crime rate= higher taxes to pay for more cops on the streets

    see it isnt just the lizard that gets effected. think on a larger scale then 1 foot in front of your face.

    You sound like those liberals up in DC. 'I hope you like being ruled by a communist regime because people like you are letting it happen with stupid reasoning like that.

    You need to get your head out of that hole, you ostrich. 'I am pretty sure drilling for oil will not kill every bug eating lizard across the U.S.

    There are sacrafices in everything. And if a few lizards get killed to gain oil independence then that's just the way it is.
