If we move to ethanol then the price of corn is going to go through the roof. Doesn’t Obama care about food prices? Why not let the market decide which energy is best. Right now the market is moving towards Natural Gas. Why don’t the Demonrats mind their own business?
Its pollution free compared to gasoline. [...]

How many gallons of gasoline is made from 1 barrel of crude oil ? How much does it cost to make it ?
People I’ve worked with in various oil companies like ExxonMobil, Chevron, ARCO, BP, and Union Oil, tell me its about 10 years considering all of the time it takes to find the oil, build all of the infrastructure like drilling rigs and pipelines, abide by govt red tape, and for the refinery to process and [...]
For instance, when you hear that price of oil is 0 per barrel today, who is paying that price? Aren’t the oil companies the ones doing the drilling and refining it into gasoline and whatever else? Does it ever really leave their hands until it’s sold to independent gas stations or to consumers [...]
I’m doing a project about oil spills and I would like to find oil that is the most similar to crude oil. Gasoline? Vegetable oil? Used motor oil? Olive oil? Etc.
What is derived from crude oil besides gasoline? Do we use it to produce electricty, in home heating & such ?? What other products price should I expect to go up when the price of oil increases
Thanx
The US has untapped oil and natural gas both underground and off shore, yet your party blocks any and all efforts for recovery of our own natural resources forcing imported oil and gasoline to be used. We all agree alternative energy needs to be used but thats years if not decades away, The public needs [...]
I believe we need to get off of oil not only because of the environment but also because of nation security. We are financing our enemies. I have no problem with increasing tax on gasoline but it must be done slowly in order to allow people time to adjust and it must apply [...]
Natural Gas is plentyfull and its power technology is not new. In Europe, where gasoline is always expensive, all auto manufacturers, including Ford and Opel(GM) have been manufacturing almost all of their trucks and SUVs with dual tanks for ever. One for Gasoline and one for GPL ( Liquid propane like for your grill) You [...]
Several month back, President Bush firmly committed to domestic drilling as a facet of America’s energy policy and as a means of breaking our dependence on foreign oil. The left, particularly Obama, said that this would have no affect on the price of oil or gasoline. And yet within weeks, the price of oil dropped [...]
Are they just looking for someone to punish because gas prices are so high?
Don’t they know that the price of gas will go up to cover the tax increase?
Don’t they realize that taxes on gasoline are four times as much as the oil companies profits?
Don’t they realize that most of these profits benefit pension [...]
The price of crude oil has been falling for the past several months. Crude oil is used to produce gasoline but is also used in the production and distribution of a great many other products. Explain, using Aggregate Demand-Aggregate Supply analysis, the effects that a fall in the price of crude oil would have on [...]
If we can make gasoline that runs off of crude oil and cars that run on that gas, why can’t we do the same for Olive Oil?
It is strange that Dems/Libs have a mantra, we can’t drill our way out of this. True! but where are the alternatives and we all have cars that run on gasoline. Most of us can’t go out and purchase a ,000 automobile. Meanwhile gas prices soar because we are dependent on foriegners.
supply and demand like everyone sez – why doesn’t our government simply suspend the trading of Oil Futures until such time as the price of oil adjusts back between 50 – 75%?
Wouldn’t this be more simpler than any off shore drilling that will take four to five years to put into effect and only reduce [...]
produces the least pollutant (eg. soot).
my calculations show that gasoline produced the least amount of soot, after burning each fuel with a wick and collecting the soot. but after reading wiki, im in doubt. can someone please clarify?
I would like to know why we continue to buy oil from OPEC nations but yet we drill off of our own shores, pipe in from Alaska, and own several rigs in the pacific near Mexico and refine it here? Why are we not using our own fuel and rather ship to an off shore [...]
If gas is getting so expensive and government wants to do something about it, then why dont we just lift the oil drilling laws for maybe 3 to 4 months? I mean, the environmentalist can do only so much and also, i know its a big thing about the moose mating, but i mean, COME [...]
bw said it best "Democrats have repeatedly blocked such attempts to increase our domestic oil exploration and drilling as well as increased regulation and taxation on fuel." and "Democrats have also blocked the construction of new refineries that turn crude oil into gasoline and other fuels. The US has not built a new refinery in [...]
we had the same crisis two decades ago when gas was around .00 /gallon. cars then ran 20 mpg and the government was looking for a solution. Once the gas prices started to ease up, the government forgot about this until today where gas is 3/gallon some places like cali is reaching 4 dollars. the [...]
Would you be willing to support drilling for oil in Alaska and offshore if it would bring gasoline back down to /gal……even if you once were against it.
Tomorrow the US Congress votes on bill HR 2454. I am extremely worried this Bill will pass because. . .
It will raise your household electricity rates by 90 percent, gasoline by 74 percent, residential natural gas prices by 55 percent by 2035 (after adjusting for inflation), and will cut U.S. employment levels by [...]
