Of course we have a whole thread on the tar fields in places like Canada which are traditional crude oil, albeit in a form that is only worthwhile when the price of crude rises above $40/bbl (and less over time as the investment in learning how to exploit it is amortized), and there's an unbelievable amount of this stuff.
So B is right: there's not really a good excuse for the crazy price of gas.
All I can say is that the really smart money is moving from oil to tulips.

I just bought some end of season Tulips for $2 a packet rare, double yellow.
How do I get them into the gas tank?
Seriously, you are right Buffy.
The half -life of many oil fields is fast approaching
The Canadian tar fields are new to me. Isn't the price already over $40 a barrel? Tell me more.
Australia has a lot of natural gas but it is taxed (38c excise a litre +10%GST) just the same as petrol. We have some oil reserves (different oil, not suitable for petrol) and some yet to be exploited near Timor.
I can't understand why everyone is not more into bio-fuels.??
Leadership from Governments seems to be as rare as new oil fields.
