Sounds like BS to me. Can you mention the name of the newspaper please?

The word I have from some employees of Hyundai Motor America is that
Hyundai's next version of the Tiburon will have rear drive and a V8. As
with all things, we'll see when it gets here.

 

Very surprising!! Thanks for the information.

Hmmm. It should be out right around the time that gas prices hit
$4.00/gallon. Yeah, that's just what we need!

 

Nah, the republicans are just about out of office again. I'll bet that in
3-4 years, gas prices will be around $2/gal

 

I hope you are right, but unfortunately you aren't. Read "Twilight in
the Desert" by Matt Simmons.

Now THAT'S funny!

It won't matter who's in power in the US, the increasing demand from
China and India is going to continue to drive the price of oil upward.
The Middle East will probably never be stable, so there will always be a
fear-factor to drive prices even higher. Cheap gas in not coming back
and the sooner we accept that and start acting appropriately, the better.

 

What are you, some kind of Kool Aid drinker? Oil prices are determined by
supply and demand, not politics.

Gasoline will never see $2.50 again, and will probably hit $4 within a year.

 

While I think seeing anything in the $2 range is unlikely, I think you are
a bit foolish if you think politics has nothing to do with oil prices.

Global politics does, but it doesn't make a damn bit of difference what
party is in power here in the states.

 

You don't find it a bit coincidental that Exxon-Mobil and other oil
compaies make record profits when Republicans are in office
domestically? The same republicans who are heavily invested in the oil
companies? I guess it could just be coincidence...

Eric

 

You make 10% profit sound as though it should be illegal. Keep in mind the
record profits are in DOLLARS, not PERCENTAGE. Exxon-Mobil is a growing
company, and will keep breaking records as they grow.

 

Yes, very, very good news for the stock holders. Now, if only the same
stock holders would buy some shares in corn, soy, field grass or whatever
other possible form of potential energy, maybe things would be a bit
different.

Maybe I am just jealous. Man, if only I could find a finite energy source
that could run or help make just about everything in the world. I guess
being wealthy beyond my wildest dreams just wouldn't be enough for me
either.

Eric

 

The oil companies are making record profits because high demand and an
unstable middle-east (nothing new there) have combined to drive the
price of crude through the roof. One could reasonably argue that our
foreign policy is partly to blame, but please spare me the silly
conspiracy theories.

 

No, it's a business model based on a fixed percentage return. The
higher the cost of the product the higher the value of the fixed
percentage. Not rocket science or politics but "normal" pricing
structure for most of what we buy. The only politics is the folks
whining about gross profits as a politcal whine. They conveniently
ignore why the numbers are what they are and focus on the numbers
alone.

 

Ah, now you hit the nail on the head. Fixed percentages. So at $1/gal.
they make $0.20 and at $4/gal. they make $0.80. Seems fair. Especially
when you consider the government regualtion on other "commodities" like
MILK, CORN, SOY, where the profit is a fixed $$ amount per unit, not a
percentage. Why is that?

Eric

 

What does the price of crude oil have to do with the profit that the oil
companies are making? You're comparing apples and oranges now.
