They'll probably raise the prices to around $3.25-$3.50/gallon, which should easily finance this repair. Sour crude really wallops your gear- ask any senior technician at Saudi Aramco who's worked at Abqaiq.<BR/><BR/>It's also funny to note that this shortage should have the most notable impact on BP branded gasoline, but watch how the Seven Sisters unite in their 'cross the board price hike. Such is the tactic of an unholy alliance between the oil giants that regularly team up to act like one giant monopoly.<BR/><BR/>Please also note that this is not a flaw within capitalism itself- this is a flaw within a government that heavily subsidizes major players in the oil business to the point where the little guy can't bring a competitive product to the market anymore. Eliminating competition, the most important check and balance in capitalism, the system more closely resembles a command economy than a free market.BlackLabelAxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18097549190860372632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183386.post-1155000719849263102006-08-07T18:31:00.000-07:002006-08-07T18:31:00.000-07:00Axe, it's a real shame that the consumers are gett...Axe, it's a real shame that the consumers are getting screwed because the fucking oil companies failed to maintain their shit. Somehow, all of the oil company apologists are going to find some reason to blame the left fo this.BigNewsDayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13614571463344573934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183386.post-1154997584299414382006-08-07T17:39:00.000-07:002006-08-07T17:39:00.000-07:00No, I've not seen the movie yet.
