Little late to be complaining....they told us last year that the gas prices would reach $3.00 a gallon by this summer....all due to Katrina....which I think is BS....

We need to quit driving for a week, or not buy gas for a week and try to shut this thing down....only way to get a point across is hit em in the pocket book....

Thank Sy Hersh for the recent rise in gas prices.

Also thank the dems who are blocking all drilling. Supply and demand issues.

Oil companies are greedy as hell but they are not the real reason behind the gas increases.

The real enemy is the moron speculators on wall street.

They are pricing in 20 dollars for a war on iran which isn't going to happen.

I don't know how many times Bush has to deny Sy Hersh's lies for the markets to get a clue.

I have never been a fan of price controls but with the morons on the trading floors that might have to be the answer.

Supply is the same as it was three years ago but the difference is the crazy speculation.

The gas companies greed is only 10 percent of the increase the real enemy are the traders who are trading crude oil and making a fortune.

Amazing that these oil traders don't get the blame when they are ripping off the public for their own greed.

Enough is enough rein them in.

Without the moronic speculation crude would be trading at 40.

I'll be doing my part. Summer classes over the 'net, won't have to drive to school every day. That'll be nice for quite a few reasons, not the least are the high gas prices.

If anyone expects any of our politicians to do anything to upset their gravy train from the oil companies, they are going to wait a loooooong time.

As a petroleum engineer with the Minerals Management Service I can tell you that approximately 25% of the production from the Gulf of Mexico is still shut-in from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. It will take years before this production is put back on line and that is no BS....
