I have a urge to go buy ammo, medical supplies, and freeze dried food now.
Same here... Time to start throwing some $ at the B.O.B! When SHTF this year, be ready for Martial Law as well!

My wife drives a mid sized gasoline burner and I have driven a Dodge 3/4 ton diesel pickup for several years. We get very good mileage but this present high cost of motor fuel seems to be wedded to politics and greed...But a point I wish to make is that the higher price of diesel than gasoline. It is a fact that turning crude oil into diesel is less troublesome and less expensive than turning it into gasoline...
So why are diesel users being shafted in the price of the product ? Groceries and many things come via truck and trucks use diesel, thus the higher and higher prices for everything that is tied to diesel....This is a crime and somebody should be taken to jail !!!
Now, I am FULLY against big government and them having their noses in my business... but this is one area of the economy that needs to be controlled by some higher ups. It has an effect on absolutely EVERYONE. We don't need F'n stimulus packages that master asshat likes to hand out... Imagine if gas was back down to 1-2 dollars... that would be the BEST stimulation this country could ever ask for; money would magically appear in peoples pockets.
We should have a TGT rally point for when SHTF. Set up a camp and we would have one helluva militia! lol
Make no mistake about it, government regulations are why gas is what it is. There isn't a hole in the ground producing oil that the government hasn't authorized... And quite frankly they've stopped authorizing them. Then you add on all sorts of environmental, safety, payoffs etc costs imposed by government. More regulation will only further exacerbate the matter...Now, I am FULLY against big government and them having their noses in my business... but this is one area of the economy that needs to be controlled by some higher ups.

And how the hell are they going to do that?
Do you have any idea what happens when you enact price controls!? And if you're not talking price controls, you're talking heavy subsidies, in which case WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM!? Oh, yeah... our pockets, just like it does when gas prices go up.
FWIW, the oil companies make about $.03/gallon profit. Ooooh, they're fleecing us!!! Gotta stop that!

(I hope that isn't too political of a post)
My badMy point was that, lower gas prices would be a huge stimulus. I fully see where you got the idea I was implying government control, that was not my intent and was VERY poor wording on my part. My appologies for the confusion.
Im well aware of how the system works, and that the gooberment is pushing for higher gas prices to make us move to alternative energy. How ridiculous is $.48 per gallon state tax?
can't they put these hybrid motors into something that looks halfway decent?
My bad
Oh and because who wants to drive a pickup truck that sounds like a cordless drill?
