I thought with Sadaam out of the picture and the Oil for Food bs abolished that there'd be a glut of oil coming into the market and thus decreasing price?

But, but, but.... I was told that GW Bush and his cronies went into Iraq to steal their oil, so he and his buddies could all get rich off of cheap fuel....

Do you mean to tell me the Liberals were telling another lie?? < /sarcasm>

Why don't I care that CA with high taxes and regualtions (that account for most of this increase) are now paying for it?

I'm glad I don't have a gas guzzling SUV.

We're being told in California that the high gas prices are because two refineries that make the special California gasoline are down for maintanence. I assume when these come back on line, the prices will come down.

The buzz words in this article are "high-powered sports cars" and "SUV's"....it's the owners of these vehicles who are at fault.

Therefore, the only possible fix is to bring back the high car tax.</sarcasm>

Gas prices ! I often wonder why we do not hear more outrage at gas prices than we do. During the past couple of years it seems that no matter the increase in prices we Americans just go with the flow. I am paying about $2.00 per gallon.

Americans can stop crying about gas prices. We still pay some of the cheapest prices for gasoline in the world.

and some analysts openly talked about it hitting the once-unthinkable mark of $3 a gallon, possibly by late this year.

This I doubt, but at least gasahol will now be a stabilizing product rather than one that drives up the price of transportation.

I first heard this news on 'The Truckin' Bozo' last night. He was talking about the effect it would have on trucking and thought the price for diesel would end up at arounds $2.75. We'll all pay for this twice - at the pump and in WalMart.

I just moved, and purposely chose a place that was fairly close to a train station, which is used as part of a mass transit system here. I go from driving nearly 70 miles per day, now down to 10. Just in time! As a bonus, my employer pays for the monthly transit ticket (saves them money in that they dont have to spend on more parking spaces).

If they did go to 3 bucks though, Bush would be screwed unless he hit his energy plan 24/7.

If we have to pay over $3/gal for gas, President Bush is a one termer.

FYI - Gas prices increasing from $2 to $3 would cost the "average"* consumer approx $60 month.

* Average: 15,000 miles per year at 20 miles per gallon

Lemonade from a lemon: Buy oil stocks and work from your home. :-) BTW Adjusting for inflation, we are paying less for fuel than we were twenty years ago.
