Sky high prices can also hurt Dubya's chances for reelection. The Feds will get part of the blame.

We need more refineries, that will fix it all, along with more Natural gas pipe lines to relieve the shortage there also.

The low dollar.

As long as they refuse to raise interest rates (before the election) oil will continue to go through the roof.

GREED, lack of real competition and no regulatory oversight of an almost monopolistic industry.

Specialized fuels are required by environmental rules in particular states or cities. California, for example, has banned the chemical MTBE and switched to ethanol-based fuels. New York and Connecticut are now doing the same. Mr. Sundstrom says there are at least 14 different blends of gasoline being used in different regions, and it is illegal to sell a noncompliant blend in some areas. This restricts the gasoline industry's ability to distribute nationally.

Isn't the all-knowing, great and magnificent Algore responsible for this nonsense which is derived from the pseudo-scientific drivel espoused in his book?

Gasoline prices are high. $1.60 for regular is the new floor. Reason is, the US dollar is weak due to unending trade deficits. High gasoline prices are your early heads up on the danger of huge trade deficits

[familyofman]

Increased gas prices are good for the US economy, in the long run. Just like outsourcing and job losses.

[MinuteGal]

I seriously doubt we're going to see sky-high gasoline prices right before election. Our president is NOT obtuse.
