Why we're getting ripped off on gas!
CnoteTJ:
AN ENGINEERING MASTER PIECE
During the construction phase......
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
All finished. Notice the size of the palm trees outside.
Can you guess what it is ???
Remember, this is in the middle of the desert....
The very HOT desert where temperatures get up to 140 degrees.....
Unbelievable! But true.....
It is a self contained Ski Resort.......................
YES, it is!
The INSIDE view:
Why is gasoline almost $5 a gallon for regular unleaded??????
So the Arabs can ski in the desert, that's why!
Are we stupid or what!

guess sand storm sailing is out dated.

the real reason we pay so much for gas is cause we won't take advantage of our own oil deposits, both offshore and on-shore! that and the 18% in federal taxes and 33c of state taxes (weird congress blames 'big oil' for prices when they make 5% and the federal gov makes 18% of the cost per gallon!! oh yeah, and what is big oil? exxon has less than 10% of the market share. who is big oil?)
mallcrawl:
sure we can drill our reserves now and lower prices for the next twenty years
or we can leave them alone suck it up as our fuel prices get close to what the rest of the civilized world pays and then when the arabs run out in twenty years and we have the largest reserves in the world
well lets just say the cost of protecting the enviroment while we drill won't be so bad
