Gas was $7 a gallon in Elizabethton, Tennessee last night.

Many gas stations in upstate South Carolina were closed and were telling customers they would have no more gas for another week.

Its time to pen up ANWR and drill off of the west coast.

Drill Here! Drill Now!

For purposes of national security, we need to encourage the expansion and development of new refineries that are distributed throughout the U.S. in order to reduce the impact of having so much of this capacity concentrated in one area.

It is because the people you elect have a “not in my back yard” mentality when it comes to putting infrastructure in place like oil refineries. I do not believe that Florida has even one refinery in that state. I live in Corpus Christi and I think gas has gone down because we have a lot of it and right now we can't ship it. The only good thing about this city is the gas prices.

That's what you folks in east Tennessee get for not having a refinery. 93 Octane got up to $4.04 here in west Tennessee.

Go to Glen Reynolds site, Instapundit, to find out why your prices are going up.
