This Independence Day weekend, drivers won't see any relief from high gas prices. Although prices retreated by a fraction of a cent at the beginning of the week, AAA predicts holiday travelers will pay the most at the pump since 2008.
In its monthly gas price report released June 30, AAA said, "With Independence Day only a few days away, today's national average price of gas is $3.68 per gallon. This average is considerably more expensive than recent years for the holiday. The national average on July 4 in previous years was: $3.48 (2013); $3.34 (2012); $3.57 (2011); $2.74 (2010); $2.62 (2009); and $4.10 (2008)." The motorist organization expected prices to remain high throughout the month of July, ranging from $3.60-$3.70 per gallon.

I’m in CA. Haven’t seen it under $4 a gallon in forever.
Gas was $1.85/gal in January 2009.
Mr. mulato is saddened that gas prices have not risen more, however he has found solace in the fact that his economic policies have had the bone-us effect of lower gas consumption by the serfs.
It is unlikely we’ll ever see gas prices below $3/gallon. Even if prices did decline the value of the dollar is less 1/3 what it was in 2008. (In 2008 there were only $900 billion dollars. In 2009 Obama added another $900 billion and in 2010 he did it again with another $900 billion. Then the fed has added $87 billion per month since. Stock values haven’t gone up. The value of the dollar has declined.)

Welcome back to 70s-style Stagflation!!
Funny how Liberals said Bush was in bed with big oil, but not Obama.
Gas was $1.49 in the PA midstate on Ø’s first innauguration day.
It was briefly $2.89/gal a couple of months ago here in TN.
Not a word from the media as it creeps up and up. When Bush was president they went to gas stations before they opened to catch the owners changing the price to $4.00.
I think the way the lyin’king put it(and this time he wasn’t lyin’) covered ALL sources of NRG. Guess I’ll go raise the sail on my wind powered Dodge Ram. ;>} Can hardly wait until we get to those european levels for petrol prices.
3.80 - 3.90 here in SW Pa
Seems I’ve been paying $4.20 forever.
