The single biggest thing effecting American consumers, the health of the economy and the government officials who are willing to do something about it and the ones who will not lift a finger all exposed. This seems of no great importance to the average GPL´er. More concerned about planet X. I strongly recommend you watch this. It´s 2 hours long and spills the beans on the oil industries gouging of the American consumer and the World consumer. If you want to know why your being fucked at the pump watch this and why you will be fucked even harder when Rita rips you a new asshole. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 25372 Canada 09/19/2005 11:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | MOSCOW Russia´s major oil producers agreed Monday to freeze their gasoline prices in the country until the end of the year, the Interfax news agency said, citing the Industry and Energy Ministry. The oil companies made the decision at a meeting with Industry and Energy Minister Viktor Khristenko, Interfax quoted ministry spokesman Stas Naumov as saying. The ministry could not immediately be contacted Monday. "The result of the meeting was a voluntary decision by the management of Russia´s largest companies; prices won´t rise any further on the domestic market until the end of the year," the official said, according to Interfax. Surging oil prices worldwide have boosted the cost of gasoline in Russia, the world´s second-largest oil exporter after Saudi Arabia, provoking criticism from Kremlin-loyal politicians. Gas prices rose by a ruble in the space of a week as of Tuesday, to 18 rubles ($0.63) per liter (0.26 gallon). The biggest Russian crude oil producer, Lukoil, announced a unilateral cap on gasoline prices Monday with immediate effect. Another major oil company, TNK-BP, which is a 50-percent joint venture with British oil giant BP, declined to confirm the price freeze, but said it would make an announcement Tuesday. "We support the government´s efforts to ease up tensions on the fuel market," TNK-BP spokeswoman Marina Dracheva told The Associated Press. In a statement, Lukoil blamed high mineral-resource taxes that are pegged to world prices, as well as under-investment in domestic refineries. |
