Do you think this will lower the price of gas?

[TimG]

Retailers really don't make much on a gallon of gas, that's why they hold the prices when fuel goes down and increase them immediately when the price goes up. An independent retailer may make ten cents per gallon, when a credit card company charges them 3% of the cost of a gallon of fuel they cut into that margin by about 100%. Retail fuel sales is a tough business, they need to have you buy all the inside the store items to make it because they don't make much on the fuel.

Yeah...we'll pump domestic oil, but us business savvy Americans will sell it on the open market to the highest bidder instead of keeping for ourselves...

Yep, and if we got serious about domestic drilling, doing so would piss-off the Arabs and we can't have that! There's a very good reason why our president eagerly holds hands with the Saudi oil sheiks when he goes over for a visit. They have the cheapest available oil and we need it BAD. Domestic drilling will happen only when OPEC oil hits $200--no, $300 a barrell AT LEAST. Wonder why oil has been dropping in price? Maybe because the Saudis saw Americans conserving/using less gas and screaming for domestic drilling. The OPEC boys got together (yes, they collude in secret) to stop all this talk about conservation and alternative sources of oil. Price creeps down and crisis (for Saudis and OPEC) subsides. Whew, Allah be praised!

Okay, okay, I'll stop now!
