Chicagoland is $2.09 - $2.19 for 87 octane. Didn't we fight two wars for oil or did I miss that memo?
OK - someone please break down the reason oil (and resultant gasoline) prices are back near or at record.
I know of a couple of reasons - please add to this list:
1. Weak dollar
2. Venezuela
3. Russian Oil industry still jacked up (Yukos)
4. OPEC still exists (what a bunch of gangsters)
5. No cuts in fuel taxes - a favorite of many states.
What else? I understand the oil is back on from Iraq. The Russians need to get their collective heads out of their butts. ANWAR needs drilling (but will take years before we see the results from that).
