Oil companies/ SUV rants



 Yes, indeed, I have heard of supply and demand.  
The interesting thing is that fuel, on a global scale, does not seem to respond to this phenomena in the way things like corn and Nikes do.
Demand seems to depend on fuel prices, not the other way around.   
The second part of that is supply.  Every couple of years, the Arab Emirates shut the oil valves. Then, after the Middle Eastern oil taps are opened again, the price stays up, even though the demand drops slightly...does it not??

 I'll stand by my previous statement....even if I'm wrong.  :)

  You have heard of supply and demand? More SUVs, lower mileage, consumption
  up, price up!

    What pisses me off is all these suburbanites in their stop and go SUVs
    drinking up the gas I'd like to burn cheaply somewhere down the road. I've
    been tooting around in fuel economical vehicles for 20 years, and dammit,
  I
    should get some sort of a voucher for my share of the current cheap fuel.



    The price of gasoline in the US isn't determined by how much your
  neighbor's SUV has been drinking for the past ten years; it's set by current
  political world situations.
    You've already received (and are receiving today) your reward for scooting
  around in 30mpg cars: it's known as a "lower fuel bill".  :)  That, plus all
  the FUN the 'Rocs have been and are.  (does anyone really think driving an
  Explorer/Tahoe is actually FUN?!)
    :)
