I think you live on mars.
Are you trying to tell me that gas has not gone up 60 cents a gallon in the last two months? That that is not a fact?
that some of that was based on speculation about OPEC cutting production in April.
I'll say it again your synicism is preventing you from seeing the real world and your only response is get rude.

NO, gas prices haven't gone up 60 cents in last two months. The national average was $1.55 for regular unleaded in January. It is now around $1.75.
I don't know what math you are using, but that makes it a 20 cent increase this year.
Do you know the definition of "cynical"? You are the cynic, with your "the sky is falling, all the oil companies are out to get us attitude".
I, on the other hand, understand that the sky is not falling. I'm an optimist. And I understand the facts.
