XV1100SE Posted August 4, 2012 #26 Posted August 4, 2012 With the drought this year desimating the corn crops, combined with the steadfast amounts of ethanol that are mandatory in gasoline, Get ready to hold on to your hat! You ain't seen anything yet. Food's going up Gas's going up and if isreal "pulls the trigger" all hell is gonna break lose. Forget the price of gas... who cares ! What about the cost of whiskey !!!!!!!!
Redneck Posted August 4, 2012 #27 Posted August 4, 2012 Like I said... we have better (less expensive but longer wait times) health care.Really? Rsv costs $2500 more $4.85 a gallon electronics cost 30% more. Less expensive eh. I can buy better faster less expensive medical care plus have money in my pocket.
Redneck Posted August 4, 2012 #28 Posted August 4, 2012 It must be nice to have a product to sell and anticipate a problem and be able to raise a price 30 % without proof of a problem to come.I figured you being a business man would know how the commodities market works.
ragtop69gs Posted August 4, 2012 #29 Posted August 4, 2012 Save your ammo and get ready the day is coming.
pmelah Posted August 4, 2012 #30 Posted August 4, 2012 My contingency plan....... ride my motorcycle more and loose about 20 pounds. Very good plan , I would like to copy that one Why copy just do it I am thanks caveman Price of gas here this morning is $1.28/L... or $4.85/U.S. gal. Consider yourself lucky ! In other words... quite your b!tch'n ! We are not bi$%n A lot of our goods are more expensive. Up until this year the RSV was $2500 more up here, electronics are more expensive (eg camera I'm looking at is $339 here and $279 there). Best thing we have over the U.S. is universal health care. That's why Canadian polititians come to America for health care:confused24: just sayin whatcha talking about we now have (obama care) Yea and next we will be going to Canada for our health care so get ready Canada 2014 here we come Like I said... we have better (less expensive but longer wait times) health care.
Eddie Posted August 4, 2012 Author #31 Posted August 4, 2012 I figured you being a business man would know how the commodities market works. I do get it, but in my business if someone dont like our price there is 20 more companys to choose from that can beat my prices. Gasoline is a monopoly.

Gasoline is a monopoly.Gasoline is not a monopoly you can own a futures contract tomorrow just lay your money down and place your bet. The commodities market and the retail business are two different animals and you are free to participate in ether one. Oil company's don't set the price of oil the farmers don't set the price of corn or wheat or pork belly's or orange juice. The price of everything is set by supply and demand and perceived price and demand. If I need hvac service and everybody is busy I will have to pay more to get service. If all the hvac company's have people sitting in the break room I can get faster cheaper service. Everybody complains because they don't want to pay the price but they want a raise they want to get rich but they don't want to do the work or take the gambles. What really gets me is when someone does the work and takes the gambles and wins they are sorry rich sob's.
dacheedah Posted August 4, 2012 #34 Posted August 4, 2012 We hit $4.50 a gallon, they r blaiming a gas pipe brake in Wisconsin

Everybody just wants all the goodies for themselves, and is jealous of whoever has more. What a sad state of affairs we have fallen into. Joe

Oil companies... ie refineries in the US, are at this very moment selling our refined fuel overseas because they can get $5,$6 or even $7 a gallon instead of $3.50.... If they imposed a $5 per gallon export tax, or, did not allow our fuel to be exported...perhaps we could have gotten that pipeline from Canada... ....................... And our fuel prices would have dropped like a rock! Edited August 4, 2012 by CaptainJoe

And our fuel prices would have dropped like a rock! I respectfully have to disagree..... If every country did as you suggest that we do, we would be so short of oil that we would all have bicycle pedals on our Ventures, and we'd be paying unimaginable prices for gas, if we could gt any. As someone stated earlier, it's mostly supply and demand. We (the world's people, and especially US) have not done much to curb demand, or to increase supply. We gripe about what it costs to drive our big vehicles with one person in them many miles to work or play, and keep right on doing it. It doesn't matter what product, service, or commodity we talk about, if people will pay the price being asked, the price isn't going down. It will go up until enough people stop buying. Careful what you wish for.......

If you don't want fuel leaving the country all you need do is be the high bidder and you can do what ever you want with it. The reason we don't have the pipeline from Canada is politics not the free market. If you have evidence that the oil company's are price fixing bring it forward because that is against the law.

Yes they sell to the highest bidder "europe" Be the High bidder? that's what one of our political parties want to do, make the U.S. fuel prices more in line with europe. Even though we go through all the risks refining the fuel... Yup pipeline was political "see sentence above" Never said anything about price fixing???
