madcat6183 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Yeah heading to FL this weekend, awesome. Guess the offset from diesel to gas will make taking the F250 6.0 worth it unless it jumps more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleaveTheGreat Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Our dependence on foreign oil has decreased since that Marxist took office. Domestic usage has increased. I can't believe the nerve of that guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Our dependence on foreign oil has decreased since that Marxist took office. Domestic usage has increased. I can't believe the nerve of that guy!Yup. Obama did it all. By opening up government lands for drilling he single-handedly increased domestic oil production. What's that you say? He didn't open up any lands for drilling? Well then how did he increase oil production? Wait? Private companies on private lands are responsible? Capitalism is responsible!? No wai!! Impossible!!

scottie.harris Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) there are some of us here who remember the national speed limit going to 55 mph......Ive seen some of you people on here, im sure some of you remember cars not capable of 55mph. Ahh the "when i was ur age stories", gotta lovem. My mom has a picture of my dad posting a gas price of 1.15/gallon with a line of cars, think that was like 20-30years ago Edited March 8, 2012 by scottie.harris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentracer Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 this is why I got a job 9 miles from my house. I can go to work for almost 4 weeks on a tank of gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wai!! Impossible!! Capitalism is the devil!!yah i mean what the fuck did he do anyway?http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/15/us/politics/15address.html?_r=3&hphttp://articles.latimes.com/2011/may/14/nation/la-na-obama-alaska-20110514http://www.rigzone.com/news/article.asp?a_id=111458The Obama administration announced Monday it was moving forward with oil-drilling leases issued off the coast of Alaska by the previous administration, marking an important development in the battle over Arctic Ocean drilling.and also...http://www.nytimes.com/gwire/2011/01/13/13greenwire-two-thirds-of-federal-oil-and-gas-drilling-per-13123.htmlThe Bureau of Land Management issued 4,090 drilling permits in fiscal 2010, but oil and gas operators drilled 1,480 new wells, using about 36 percent of permits issued.look. just to be clear. im not saying that obama did it ALL and the increase in production is 100% due to him. obviously thats not true. of course there has been increased production in north dakota which has helped out. but to say that he hasnt done anything, wouldnt be true either.gas prices and oil production are complex issues, and no one party is 100% responsible for either of those. its not like obama sets the price of gas for the country when he wakes up each morning. changes in our oil production do not happen overnight either.i feel that while domestic oil production has a large role in our energy security and our economy, its maybe not enough to change oil prices globally long term.
