According to this article

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/...eut/index.html

The official subsidized cost of a liter of gasoline in Iraq is just over one u.s. cent. Thats about .04 per gallon. This really makes me wish that Bush would just get up on a post and say "you know what world? you were right, we did this for their oil! Yee Haw, all you U.S. citizens gas up on me for the next year!"

but that wouldnt make sense....




if we were at war for oil, how come im staring at a sign that says $3.39/gallon for 93 octane?

Paul

Yeah, we are not at war for oil. But I sure wish we could just take some anyway.

Umm, if we were pumping oil out of Richmond, it would be cheap also.

boostjunkie

so does that mean we're at war for no reason?





or that there really is a war on terrorism???

i'm not sure how iraq does it specifically, but most middle east oil producing countries use oil sales in place of tax dollars. like in kuwait, school, your wedding, insurance, health care, etc, everything is paid for with oil revenues. so it wouldn't make any sense for iraq to charge a lot for gas when it's basically considered a public commodity that belongs to all iraqis.

Some arab dude from Saudi Arabia was on one of my other boards. I quote 'Gas is cheaper than Pepsi'. Well hell, I fucking hate soda, I'd trade places.

Paul

I am not sure! All I know for certain is that gas costs way too fucking much here, and I want to buy it for .04 a gallon.
