Maybe you meant to say $3/gallon. Two dollars is only about 15¢ from where we are today and was going to happen no matter what, with summer around the corner.
I’m guessing somewhere between the 2-3 dollar mark for this year. I don’t think it will get to the $4 range in 09, as we did last year; but I could be wrong.
When the prices jump again, along with the economic mess, the wailing and moaning is going to be out of this world. I guess that'll let the Dems nationalize the oil industry ala Chavez. Then again, what happens to oil if our economy completely tanks...the Chinese and Indians may bolster demand but will they also go down with us enough to keep world oil demand depressed...
