Fuel costs directly affect every aspect of your life if you're middle or lower class. zevgoldman, you must be entrenched in oil investments to be so defensive of the oil companies and do NOT dictate to people about asking for government to step in and take those profits and put them into the economy. Yes, politicians can be corrupt and so can government, but I'm watching corruption right now in the headlines and you're applauding it? Go invest some more in "Big Oil". You know it's not gonna last much longer if we can get "Big Oil George" out of the whitehouse. "Exxon Mobil 2Q 2008 profit sets US record"

Increase in demand from competing emerging countries such as China and India. 2. Taxes at the pump. Here in NYS, diesel taxes are over 65 cents per gallon. Compare with supposed big oil profits of about 10 cents per gallon. Remove all 'big oil' costs (24 cents), and you're still well above $3 dollars a gallon. Oil is typically a long-run commodity, nand only supply/demand for the short-term. Increasing vehichle fuel economy will definitely help in the short term, but may result in long-term production and refining cut backs, thus only leading to a steady increase for longer term. This is backed-up by comparing countries where usage is less. Prices are invariably higher. Summarizing, increasing infrastructure (all forms of power) and removing obstacles imposed by well-meaning environmentalists will see far-reaching goals of increasing domestic production.
