Gas Prices

[cold one sd]

The good ol boy that used to head up my company only made 300 million bucks In three years while he ran the company into the dirt. That must be the reason that his beach house was only ninety three million. He was so popular that he flew out of private airports in a corporate jet because the board of directors was afraid to let him out in the public. As far as companies listening to the stockholders is concerned, it didn't work when we complained at stockholder meetings about about executive compensation because the board of directors said that was what they had to do to get these great people to take the job. Don't worry boxcar they will be happy to hold your wages down and take your benefits away from you.

I thought there was a political forum? That seems like the proper place for this, or is it just me?

Not everyone appreciates non-stop political debates.. I come here to talk about fishing.. if I want to discuss the gas prices, I'll go to the political forum.

Did anyone else hear that British Petroleum in Alaska has a pipe that is corroded and needs to be replaced. That is gonna hurt bad All that we need now is another reason for them it increase prices.

UpNorth- You are correct. The US govn has reserves in place to offset these unforeseen interruptions in supply. They just need to make the call to do so. The other option is of course that the oil company cover the added expense to repair and offset the costs.

The only question I have is why does a British company have a pipeline in Alaskan oil when we import most of our oil already? Is it less costly for US companies to get their oil from foreign soil or what?

I think it is more like we don't want to completely deplete our rescources. More like spread things out and use theirs too.

I didnt read all the posts so forgive me if this has been brought up already. How do you all feel about paying extra gas tax to support the Petrofund so the big oil companies can get reimbursed for the money they spend on cleaning up their messes? Now I am all for this for the little guy, but for taxpayers to reimburse Big Oil for their environmental contamination when they are making this kind of money rubs me wrong. Especially when you consider they are extremely cheap and drag their feet for the most part when doing the cleanups.

Gentlemen,

Your in luck!!! We're currently hiring. I've worked for my company for 9 years and increased my income by more than 3% each year. So my income is staying ahead of inflation. Who's in?

Because BP and Amoco merged back in '98. It's half American.
