At over $3.00 a gallon, the U.S. inflation-adjusted price for gasoline in May 2007 is now less than it was in 1981

I am not wondering about "inflation-adjusted prices" back to 1981! I want to know why the price increased from $2.20/gal to $3.10/gal (~50%) in a couple of MONTHS?

Because the MARKET bid it up.

Gee your price when DOWN about $.90 a gallon in 3 weeks last year. Funny how the screamer only remember it going UP, never ever remember when it goes DOWN.
