OPEC to produce more oil = cheaper gas again

Posts: 2723

A recent article stated that OPEC has plans to produce more oil soon, which should bring gas prices back down a bit. Personally, paying $2 per gallon at the pump doesn't bother me that much. I like to laugh at all of the people in my community that own hummers and huge SUVs for no reason, who are now complaining about how much they have to pay to fill the tank. Maybe they should have thought twice before buying their gas hog. Rolling Eyes

Ehh.. maybe if gas prices steadily climed, technology would finally advance in cars once again. I'm sure there are plenty of places in our current cars that efficiency that could be increased, but aren't being tapped because its not economical for companies to spend money on engineering cars cause no one cares to buy them.

Well.. if you want to read the full article about OPEC and their plans to increase oil production you can hit that up here.

I don't remember it.. hmm, yeah we will definately see. I guess it would be nice to have it happen before my road trip to colorado this summer to go backpacking. *keeps his eyes on gas prices*

I was thinking about this more today, and I wish places like best buy posted their prices on big signs for people driving by to see. "Radeon x800 $399.99, nVidia 6800 $399.99, etc." Then people could watch hardware prices =)!

ya, and if they made more economical cars, the gas companies wouldnt like that much, and with all their billions, would find a way to put a stop to it. i remember watching some show on tv that claimed there was an existing patent for a carborator that made like 200mpg possible. but dont believe everything you see on tv eh?

alls i knows is that ever since the ''war on them damn terrorists'' all Oil and Petrolium products have sky-rocketed in prices.

Its all Bushes fault basically and- sorry sorry i just hate Bush and almost anything these days can be logically blamed at him.

opec oil would be good to get cheaper gas, but either way its all bad for the atmosphere we should revert to hybrid cars or Hydrogen cars

or if you really dont have to drive somewhere, by all means just bike or run or something!!! youll need the excercise for when Bush reinstates the draft Wink

well its good about hte gas prices and all, but car companies should really start looking for some different energy sources because once gas runs out in the oil rich countries like saudi arabia, the economy would pretty much collapse overnight and who knows what else would happen. so car companies, better start making hybrids or something.

yea we know they should make hybrids.... but we also know they wont

unless they are persuaded to or some national crisis erupts

this is all planned you know. their making so much money selling gas that they are going to get as much money as they can, planned obsoletion. In the meantime they perfect theliquid hydrogen and oxygen energy source so when the time comes we wont be completely screwed, except we will all have to buy new cars. Thats what you call greedy assholes.

yea well this specific "gas" were using happens to be a fossil fuel. and i dont think our world leaders are even seriously considering the issue. but thats just my opinion.

yea and that oil is the gas we use for cars and such.

Posts: 1736 · Posted: Sun Jun 27, 2004 3:32 pm Post subject:

yea well Gasoline is derived from Petrolium which IS a fossil fuel, so people might think gas to be a fossil fuel

im just saying that i dont think world leaders are giving the issue enough attention. because once they decide to do something, it might be too late.

yea i know that
but someone may think that Gas often being used in the same subject with Oil will assume it is a fossil fuel
im not talking about anyone on AI im just talking about the common man

and just because the people you know dont consider gas to be a fossil fuel doesnt make that the view point of everyone
be mindful of others
