The U.S. is turning into an energy ‘superpower.’ But gas prices continue to rise and Big Oil and Big Gas sells fuel and natural gas on the world market for higher prices.
The US ‘oil and natural gas resources’ belong to the citizens of this country and are to be used by those same citizens! The price at the pump needs to go down to $2/gallon - *$3, *$3.50/gallon or *$4.00 is Not the new low!
More Refineries are Not the answer, Stop exporting fuel is!
Take care of the domestic fuel market first, above all else!
Drive vehicles with high MPG, are very safe, reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money.
The price of fuel at the pump is too high!

I can hardly believe this with the HO in "power". Perhaps it is "in spite" of his idiocy and failed energy polices.

It must be getting dumped on the world market instead of being used to benefit the domestic economy 'cause pump prices don't reflect it.

Now if we could just put a STOP TO BIG OIL'S GREED and PRICE GOUGING, then AMERICA would be a real "ENERGY SUPERPOWER"!!!
We are the ONLY COUNTRY in the WORLD where the price of GAS GOES UP when there is a MAJOR NEW SOURCE FOUND. Even with both OIL and NATURAL GAS!!!

Good for us that we produce more natural gas we should produce more unleaded fuel so prices would go down.
