As of Friday a barrel of oil closed above $36.00. Its not because the rants of mad men. It is however do to a declining production from wells that are roughly a good 30 years or more, Increased demand(drilling can't keep up) from developing third world type countries, and of course China(I shudder to think about that one), and 'green',i.e. commie movements, to wreck our economy. You'll see $3-4 a gallon of gas just on this in the next 2 years. And if you add rantings of mad men with control of oil, well I think you figured it out that a large hole will burned into our pockets. Either way its going to be some expensive times ahead.

Maybe, maybe not. How about some comparisons to what others in the world pay for gas. You know that half or more is taxes. The government may actually wave a tax. It did in IL, but quickly returned it when our backs were turned. It's cheaper that bottled water!
