Tired of Getting Raped at the Gas Pump?

Biff is one of those tough guy corporate types that like to act like they're all aggressive; then someone punches them in their overpaid face for acting like such a dick and they cry about lawsuits.

You're not a tough guy. You're a fucking suit. My people would eat you a-fucking-live.

3. Ethanol is even more expensive than regular gasoline, and is costing the government billions in subsidies.
4. The cost of corn has already increased and mexicans are mad because it is a staple of their diet. Tortillas are costing more.
5. We have to grow a shitload of corn to support a nation of ethanol. I haven't read about this specifically but I don't believe we have the capacity to produce that much continuously and reliably.

The reduced output and higher prices we've recently been suffering from seems like legalized collusion to me.

I'm fully aware of these reasons and aware of the fact that since most people who are investing in oil companies don't want to see their stock portfolios get thinner; however, at some point I think someone should assign a region/territory, give incentives/benefits for those who "host" a refinery and build one (or many) for the greater good of society. It's amazing to see and feel (in the wallet) how oil consumption will affect (and is affecting) our economy.

In the end, we're all huge consumers of oil. The one thing I think people are now starting to understand is that we can control how much of it we use, right down to the way we drive our cars, to help curb the high prices.

I didn't expect this thread to get so much feeback - hooray for the Internet!

You don't have to be, where did I ever say you did? I say go to school and do something with yourself, that's all.

But if you can make something of yourself without school that's fine.

The problem is you're insisting you have to go to school, if you want to be a corporate sellout (no offense) yeah you have to, but there are other ways.
