That's more like a 150% increase though.

So oil companies should get the oil owned by the taxpayers for free? At any rate, doubt this letter (supposedly) came from an oil company since they are begging people to come work for them.

What a dumb as s liberal you are. Oil companies pay tons of money to Feds to lease land to drill on, and if they find oil they pay royalties to the government also.........sometimes up to 18% of production.

Considering Oil Companies get subsidies out the ass, the taxpayers are giving money to the oil companies to make billions in profit.

So you prefer higher gas prices....

When it becomes cost effective it will happen. That isn't anywhere close to happening. Swimming upstream against the market is a waste of money for a government that is broke.

It's not cost effective because oil companies do not allow it to be.

That's a conspiracy theory man, be honest. Oil companies don't control the alternative energy sector. Besides, if it were even remotely cost effective the market would sweep aside anything the oil companies could possibly try to obstruct it with. The truth is it just isn't as good or as cheap and so it isn't important.

I would like to point you to this article. It shows how little profit the oil company makes. It's a mere 3% which is isn't that great.

Pharmaceuticals make 16% profit and soft drinks are even higher than that according to the article.

Coming soon, the car that runs on air: Peugeot Citroen unveil new 117mpg hybrid


If you have ever grimaced at your petrol bill and dreamed of a car that runs on fresh air, your prayers are about to be answered.

French car giant PSA Peugeot Citroen believes it can put an air-powered vehicle on the road by 2016.

Its scientists say it will knock 45 per cent off fuel bills for an average motorist. And when driving in towns and cities costs could be slashed by as much as 80 per cent because the car will be running on air for four-fifths of the time.

Neither am I.

The excise tax is 18¢ and factoring in the effect of taxes along the way you add another 2-5¢ for a grand total of about 20¢.

Yep. 18.4 cents to be exact. It has remained unchanged since 1993 despite the cost of road construction going up significantly during the same period of time.

And Obama still gave them an Obamacare waiver.

The government makes more money on gasoline tax per gallon than the oil companies do in profit.
