Gas Prices should be coming down soon
Saudi Arabia has announced that it promises to increase oil supply. Hopefully OPEC will follow suit. Whew hopefully the prices drop soon....

I think prices will only seriously drop when the US has it's bought oil reserves fully stocked again. I don't think this will happen for a long time. The view over here is that Opec will not increase production quota's.

Yeah, gas prices are plunging because of that amazing show of force the American consumer put on last Wednesday by not buying gas for a day.

what?? then how come they had enough refineries in the past to meet consumer needs when prices were lower?? are you trying to say that cosumer consumption has gone up significantly and/or that the number of refineries operating has dwindled??

Well put, LudeDude.
I agree on the drilling of Alaska, but as stated above...we need 2 crucial things to make this happen:
1. More Refineries
2. Man Power
It seems simple, but we struggle with this exact same problem everyday. I think all
should be on China

dont drill alaska.
put it on reserves
once the world's supply runs out. then that is a good time to drill alaska for the us people's use
why waste our resources when we can waste other's resources
