Paid $50.00 to fill my gas tank this morning.

NO OIL COMPANY WILL BE LEFT BEHIND.

Gee Art; if we went to Iraq to steal their oil as you an
LooneyTunes claim, gas should be $0.29 a gallon by now.

It would be, but the patriotic insurgents blow up the iraqi pipelines
every now and then and kill the collaborants. Allah willing the oil will
be 70USD per barrel by the end of the year and the infidels will have to
revert to the bus and bicycle.

It would be very good for the natural environment. I hope SUVs and
automatic transmission in cars will be banned, as they waste a lot of
fuel and pollute like crazy.

Actually, even at maximum current production levels, Iraq just can't
produce that much oil. It will take them at least a decade, at best,
before they can produce enough oil to make a big dent in world oil
prices.

It's funny how many people have *no* idea of how production and prices
interact, or how much oil some countries could realistically produce.
