WASHINGTON - The Energy Department says motorists can expect gasoline prices to remain close to $4 a gallon through next year.

Oil prices should remain well above $100 a barrel through 2009, says Guy Caruso, head of the department’s Energy Information Administration.

Great post, B-Cause. I’ve seen it before (probably posted by you) in other gas-price threads. Do you have a link to the “boxed-in” graphic? I’d like to spread the word around outside of FR.

i remember shortly after the war started seeing this old guy driving his car plastered with signs saying bushes war for oil...no blood for oil...etc etc....i had to laugh and would like to ask him now where all that oil is that we went to war for...

In the past, I've argued this very subject with liberals and I've asked similar questions of them - where's all that oil? I basically told them that if the US had wanted to go to Iraq for the oil, the country would have invaded and then taken the oil. Silly liberals....

McCain needs to start calling this the “Do nothing Congress”. They are the reason we are where we are.

With a great deal of respect to you... He can NOT say a thing about this. HE is the reason we are not drilling in ANWR right now!

Listen carefully at :52 seconds
"We'd be drilling in ANWR today if...and John McCain himself killed our ability to drill in ANWR."

Drilling in ANWR was debated in the Senate in April 2002. By a vote of 46 to 54, the Senate failed to vote cloture and thus limit debate on April 18th. (and any possibility of drilling in ANWR)

Roll Call Vote
NAYs ---54
(republicans voting with the rats)
Chafee (R-RI)
Collins (R-ME)
DeWine (R-OH)
Fitzgerald (R-IL)
* John Sydney McCain (R-AZ) * -- "presumptive” republican presidential nominee...yippee!
Smith (R-NH)
Smith (R-OR)
Snowe (R-ME)

Drilling in ANWR came up for a vote again in 2005.
Look who, ONCE AGAIN, voted with the rats!

I am very much aware of his vote.

He can say he made a mistake and come out against the dimocrats full-force.

I’m just looking at the possibility of the other side of the coin.
