Shame this much scrutiny didn't get applied to candidate Obama's promise about closing Gitmo, huh?

General inflation yes, but oil specific inflation is ridiculously easy to reverse.

Gas is already about two bucks a gallon. The rest of what you pay is taxes.

Wrong. Average gasoline taxes across the US are about 75 cents a gallon.

State and Federal combined taxes at the pump. If you want to try and trace every tax down the production and delivery pipleline then youve got a much more complicated supply/demand issue on your hands, because then you have to determine how much of those taxes are "passed along" and how much of them reduce profits.

While you're at it, why was deisel cheaper fovever up until a certain year and now all the sudden is more ? Don't tell me the cracking process changed. Get HK in here, maybe he knows. But the discrepancy there in and of itself is almost 75 cents a gallon. If it wasn't taxes, what was it ?

Supply and demand, duhhhhh. Diesel taxes are 6 cents higher than regular gas.

A lot of states' gas tax is a percent of the price, so any listing depends on that. At $4.00/gallon the total Federal/State/"other" as its called in the chart, averages 72-75 cents/gallon

Close enough for government work, lol. The number I picked up most likely included Diesel, which has a higher tax, may have been weighted by gallons sold in a state, and when prices were 10% higher.

The main point is that Termys claim that without taxes gas would be $2.oo a gallon is nonsense.

It can be done. She did not tell the whole story. She will devalue the dollar and she will print new money. You will exchange approximately 3 dollars for one new dollar. This is how other countries have solved the problem throughout the history.

It is a fact that a presidents administration has a huge impact on energy policy and therefore energy prices

There is and never has been an energy policy in the united states. people are too short sighted and politicians too fuckin stupid.

Please point to the ACTUAL oil shortage at any time that had oil prices racing over $100 a barrel.

As usual we have a select couple of posters just making up what they wish.
