Why are the republicans letting US oil companies EXPORT gasoline to other countries?
But yet they want to drill all over this country knowing full well that it will do nothing to reduce gas prices because oil is bought and sold on the world market. So oil drilled in your back yard goes on the world market.

Because it affects the world market, which drives down the cost.

Its all about making more money not helping the citizens of this country.

You know we get paid for exporting gasoline. We can afford to export gasoline because we have a lot of oil in reserves, but Dems don’t want us to use it. And drilling in only one place, Alaska, can keep the US independent on oil and reduce gas prices for a long time.

congress makes the laws. right now, the democrats are in control. so any "why are they letting" questions need to be directed at the democrats.
so please tell me
Why are the democrats letting US oil companies EXPORT gasoline to other countries?
June 25th, 2010 at 5:44 am
Because the US government does not have management in place in each of the oil companies.
Would you ask Why does the government allow farmers to sell corn to other countries?

Its call a free trade market. It has nothing to do with republicans or democrats.

The Dem’s control the Congress so if anyone is letting anybody do anything it is Nancy Peloci and Harry Reid.

They lump Crude oil with Petroleum based products
What are petroleum based products?
Petroleum products include
unfinished oils, liquefied petroleum gases, pentanes plus, aviation
gasoline, motor gasoline, naphtha-type jet fuel, kerosene-type jet
fuel, kerosene, distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, petrochemical
feedstocks, special naphthas, lubricants, waxes, petroleum coke,
