PRINCETON, NJ -- The latest Gallup panel survey finds the public bracing
for continued rising gas prices this summer. A majority of poll
respondents expect gas prices to reach the $4.00 per gallon level in
their local area this summer, though only a small minority expects it to
reach the $5.00 mark. Roughly two in three Americans say they have
already been affected financially in some meaningful way by the high gas
prices. The public most often mentions oil company greed as the reason
for the high gas prices, though it also mentions other more practical
reasons such as problems with refineries.

They'll mention whatever the talking heads tell them to mention as reasons.
Remember "increased demand in China"? That's the reason I heard for the
latest run-up. Same thing last year. But, when the price dropped last year,
nobody said "decreased demand in China". I don't listen any more. The only
info I'd believe would come from Rex Tillerson, who was being waterboarded
in return for real details about the pricing scheme. All other explanations
thus far are an insult to our intelligence.

The "problems with refineries" reason is a tad too predictable. There's
no reason to doubt "refinery" and big oil greed, though.

I don't see "waterboard technician" there. What a useless article.

It's pretty hard to ignore big oil's announcement of record profits every
quarter. Maybe it's time to sell the boat and buy Exxon Mobil stock.

Two questions:

1. If it's "oil company greed", why wasn't gas $5 after Katrina?

2. Are you proud that public opinion is being shaped using the same
media techniques ESPN has uses to demonize Barry Bonds?


Different sort of question:

Would you agree that the 3 entities below have created public impressions
that are hard to change?

1) Wal Mart
2) Used car dealers
3) Law firms

Explanation - long term maximization of profit. Salvation Army does
charity
work.


You go to the supermarket and find that a gallon of milk is suddenly $4.00.
Last week, it was $2.00. You ask for an explanation and are told "It's due
to increased demand at our store across town".

How would you feel about that answer?

It was.
http://money.cnn.com/2005/09/01/mark...ices/index.htm

"Nationwide, the national self-serve unleaded average was $2.68 a gallon"

Do you even read the **** you post, ****brain?


The article said gas was $5 in some areas. True, or false?
