They have an oil reserve in their own country, they don't have to pay to get it imported.
The US has enormous oil fields in Alaska and I think they found one in North Dakota and several states around it, but apparently it'll hurt the environment to actually access it. So instead of drilling for oil and helping out the economy, we have to put up with environmentallist nutjobs saying that clearing a small bit of forest will cause the end of the world as we know it and now we're heading towards a recession (not there yet, just heading towards one). Ok, rant's over.

Nope, just good old fashioned crude. If they could produce ethylene for $.14/gallon the world energy crisis would be solved!
Gas prices in Mexico used to always be higher than the U.S., but for the last year and a half they have actually been lower. They buy oil from Venezuela, conveniently close. We buy our oil from the Middle East, not so conveniently located.
I'm not terribly political, to me it seems dumb to decide where we buy our oil based on who's president of what country. Besides, I don't think any Venezuelans have ever launched a terrorist attack on the U.S. How many Saudis were involved in the 9/11 attacks?
Sorry to derail your thread, Liam.
I have to disagree with everyone here. To me, yalls comments really shows how the media has control of your brian.
Sit back and think of your day today and how many people you passed walking down the hall, driving down the street, or sat next to in the coffee shop. Did some one hold an elevator for you today? What about picked up something you dropped or let you merge into traffic?
Yeah there can be some real A-holes but the VAST majority of people are good. Im 22, and have probably been in contact with thousands or maybe even millions of people if you count just casually passing them by, yet I have never been robbed (well my car got broken into), killed, or raped...against my will at least.
I guess to sum it up, people are good, but we are fed daily that people are bad by the media and most of us believe that.
