Easy, if we all would just use less !
Don't take out the boat this year, instead go to other attractions or camping spots.
Don't use the motorhome or truck and trailer. Purchase vacation packages instead, that are actually much cheaper then driving and staying.
In general use as little oil (gasoline) as you can.
Let those reserves build up, until there is no more holding room in those tanks.
Then we should see gas at $2 a gallon, again

Instead of Bush did this or Bush did that........what's the solution? What's Obama doing ? What are all the leaders doing?
Obama is in charge of the country.....at least that's what they tell me.....I've seen no proof of it. His new slogan should be "The buck goes "SWOOSH" right over my head."

Make up you mind, is it a supply/demand thing or is it speculators?Easy, if we all would just use less !

They go hand in hand those 2.
Wall Street does report every month, how high demand is, and how high or low the current national reserves are.
If those reserves are high, speculators sell and vice versa.
Fuel prices are a combination of the following:
Supply & demand
Speculators (on oil futures).
The US currency (which also attacts investors and speculators to bet against it, therefore buying up commodaties, such as oil & gold)
Opec output

Its not helping that Obama and his administration has worked so hard in the last 2 years to devalue our currency that we are now reaping what he has sown. Everytime the dollar loses value commodities like oil, gold, and silver all rise. Anyone here wondering why oil is going higher while inventories of excess oil and gasoline are high? Its because our currency is getting weaker by the day making these commodities more expensive. The real scary thing is at some point the world is going to have enough of this nonsense and make moves to drop the dollar as the world's reserve currency, and then things are going to get really bad. Can we say hyper inflation? Thank obama for it when it comes!

I just did a quick calcuation on your above statement :
10 year comparison :
In 2001 the price of oil was $23 barrel
Now $110
equals an increase of 478% or 47.8% average per year.
Compared it with a more solid currency (ours) :
2001 : C$37 per barrel (=US$ 23)
2011: C$104 per barrel (= US$110)
equals an increase of 281% or 28.1% average per year.
Now, Swiss Frank :
2001 : CHF 42 per barrel (= $23 US)
2011 : CHF 97 per barrel (= $110 US)
equals 231% increase, or average of 23.1% per year.
Basically, the increase in oil prices are half as high in other countries, compared to the US.

You're a bit too fast on that excuse Brett !
When Bush left office September 2008,
1 cdn dollar was $1.05843 US
Todays rate is :
1 Canadian Dollar = 1.04822 US Dollar
In the year 2000 when Bush became Prez, the US$ bought $1.50 Canadian, last months of Bush it only bought 93 cents. (now 94 cents)

Bush left a long-lasting path of destruction. I know he's your hero, but he was an abject maroon of the highest order. He managed to piss-off most of the world even after 9-11 gave him nearly unlimited support from all but some of the Muslim world. A total failure, and an absolute embarassment to the USA. If he had been allowed a third term, most of us would be living in "Bushvilles" down by the railroad tracks right now.

Bush was not my hero.....he had 8 yrs and was responsible (good or bad) for that time. There's another pres. now and he's been in office for 2 years.......unless he's a ghostly figure, he's in charge now........he's now the responsible person (sadly).
Obama has embarassed the U.S. by bowing to thug leaders (dictators) and apologizing for America......how dare he ??!! I hope he's a one term pres. America won't survive a 2nd round of him.

not to mention who was in control the last 2 years Bush was in.... you can blame Bush til the cows come home, but I dont see the Dems doing anything to fix it. That is 4 years to have to get things started in the right direction

When Obama took the helm.....gas was 1.83 a gallon. Just sayin'.
Obama has made it pretty clear he's anti-oil and not interested in the development of our resources.....but open to sending $$$$ and jobs to other countries for oil that we will in turn ourchase. That's just crazy and not logical.
