That nut from Venezuela hates US even tho he gets BILLIONS from US companies to do **** there. I is a tyrant OPEC minister who threatens to cut production & raise prices anyone we give him any ****. They have a some oil there too.

Did anyone notice price in China? No tax. Venezuela - no tax. Some other places minimal taxes too. China pays less yet we consume more than any nation. Tells u what the greedy oil co.think of who put them on the map.

Why didn't they show prices around Kuwait, Iraq, Saudi A. - cause we'd be outraged more than already.

Yeah, the leader of Venezuela is a communist buddy of Fidel's and hates the US with a passion, well he hates the President, not our people. He donated huge amounts of oil to NY for home heating after 911 I read. Politics makes strange people, it's all a big game.

He hates America (President and all). He did that as a propaganda stunt to try to get the people to completely turn against the government.

There are many truths. Some see it that way, yeah. I was in Cuba in 1984... ah, but that is another story.

I spent around $300 bucks on gas this weekend, and I was actually getting decent mileage. Did a lot of driving. I think it would pay off to build my own oil rig and refinary. Anybody wanna invest?

It isn't that people don't want to do it or can't afford to do it. It's the regulations that is preventing them from doing it. Granted you are from Canada so I don't know what your regulations are...

damn i can be rich, dirty stinking flithy rich.
buy it for 0.12 and ship it here to sale at 3.25.
55 gallon drum X 0.12 a gallon = 6.60 a drum.
shipping freight should be around 43.00 bucks a drum.
total should be 49.60 a drum to get it here.
55 X 3.25 = 178.75 a drum - 49.60 = 129.15 profit a drum.
get a half *** tanker truck say around 10 thousand gallon range.
sit on the side of the road and sale gas like they do fire wood.
