That's a good question, kind of chicken/egg: does he need the cheap fuel to transport materials up there for the base, or does he get cheap fuel from extracting vespene gas once he's there? Hard to tell.

Lol I work at a gas station...our gas is 3.45 right now...it was 3.15 just 2 weeks ago it went up 24cents in 1 night...reasoning is we as a company was running at 39cpg lower than wht they were buying it for...so they raised it that way...then yesterday saudi blew up and well that made oil at stock market raise to 110$ barrel so they had to raise it between 10-15cents to cover that cost. Its bunch of bs imo but the gtta make mony somehow

You do realize that companies that provide gas @ the pump are making billions upon billions of dollars every quarter?

The oil/gas market is absolutely ridiculous...they say they have to raise the prices due to slight changes in supply/demand...but really they just use news as a way to jack up their prices and still make billions.

F*CK those greedy bastards. I can't wait till joe schmoe makes a cheap hydrogen based engine that gives a big F*CK you to the oil companies. Probably won't see it in our lifetimes even though the tech will be there in 5-20 years. The oil companies will just buy the design and keep it to themselves.

The technology was here in the late 80s. The oil companies have been lobbying for decades to ensure they don't lose their top dog status. Thanks, Reagan (you know, the president also opened the flood gates for investment kikes to expand the U.S. economy to levels of pre-great depression proportions and subsequently export all that extra money to Asia where they could make more money while leaving America holding the bill [but of course dumbass elephant polesmokers who just gulp down the right wing flavor of idiot koolaid will protest this to the death - just watch!])!

Oil companies set their business up to be dependant on static profit margins meaning that when the price of a barrel of oil goes up, they increase the price at the pump far in excess to maintain that same profit margin percentage.

Kill them all.

Maybe until we can find something more sustainable, it might be more affordable to use Natural Gas and convert our existing gasoline engies.

$3.89 on the base I'm stationed at. I do, however, LOVE the picture of the gas price with a sticker underneath that says something to the effect of "the day Obama was inaugurated into office, the gas prices were $1.89 (or something like that), how's that "hope and change" working out for you?" I keep seeing on FB....
