This issue with our steadily rising fuel cost is completely insaine as far as I am concerned. This country can be self supportive if we make it that way and become less dependent on these arabic nations, whom are getting rich from our spending to them. They have oil, we need it, it’s that simple! Jack up the price, hey the Americans will pay it, we will make money, the big oil companies will make money, everyone in this industry wins, except the consumers whom have to buy it at their rediculous prices in order to transport products, freight, go to work, etc. Salaries surely didn’t go up to match the fuel prices, how do you get to work if you cannot afford to buy the gasoline or diesel to run your vehichle?
This country needs to become self supportive, grow our own food, cattle, etc. We should also begine drilling everywhere oil has been located, land or sea, doesn’t matter, just do it and quit blowing smoke up everyones rearends.
