uscgamecocks 10 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 These gas prices are outrageous, I know that the storm shut down some oil rigs in the gulf coast--but Bush needs to get his priorities in-line and find a way to fix all this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Shut down oil rigs AND refineries. Bush released oil from the reserves but you still need refineries to turn it into gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscgamecocks 10 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Yeah, I heard on the radio coming home today, that he released some oil from the reserves, but more needs to be done, negotiations with the the oil companies, new deals made, just something. America cant deal with this kind of prices for oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't get the rigs and refineries back up any sooner. It's an issue of supply not being able to meet demand. We as Americans can do more by carpooling, turning off the AC, and walking/biking instead of driving short distances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy10 10 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I completely agree Big D....When 95% of the Gulf's oil producers have been shut completely down there isnt much that can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH31 2,532 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 lol.. i got this is a yahoo messenger offline message  Dont Buy gas on September 3rd!!!! Boycotting the gas company will decrease the price dramatically. Ive checked into it and if over half the US didnt buy gas for 1 day, the gas companys would be close to bankrupcy!!! So Lets show them how to lower gas prices. So repost this to all your friends. We have to get the word out. Its NATIONAL DONT BUY GAS DAY!!! So repost it!!!
