[CK_John]

an oil exec paying 3.50 for a cup(plastic holder) of coffee and thinking if people are stupid enough to pay $3-4 for coffee or buy bottled water, why not $5-6 for a gal of gas.

1. I assumed you meant the shipping cost driving up retail cost

but I see what you mean. You may have a point there.

3. No, I mean they are both market driven inventions.

2. Yeah, but Gasoline doesn't taste any good.

People like to buy Starbucks. Nobody likes buying gas, even if it was cheap.

[unpossibles]

6. yeah, but some folks love to drive

most of us do it more or less out of necessity.

people think they "have" to buy gas.

[lies and propaganda]

5. i think that liquids as a whole are super expensive..
