I don't think working as a gas station bathroom jockey qualifies you to make a statement like that.

Obama loves it. He's said on the campaign trail, he wants high gas prices to force Amercans to be more energy efficient. Way to stick it to America during
a recession, dude!
Anymore efficient and I'll be walking damn it. |

I've been Hypermiling all along.
This is neither my fault, or particularly upsetting to me. It's good to be awesome. |

StarrEise, I'm in the same boat as merkyl - I've often wondered if I know him in real life

Merkyl is probably a petro distribution engineer.
All along I thought it was Cheney-Bush along with the evil right-wingers |

Its a combination of summer blend fuel, oil price speculators and the barrel price going up to $70 that's causing the latest pump spike, although they say
there is a LOT of surplus gas available. I would think that by the end of summer the pump prices will tumble down signifigantly.

Prices will drop late in the fall after home owners get sucked in at $4+ per gallon of heating oil

Twice as many "real" (and I use that description a bit facetiously) dollars chasing the same amount of goods and services is always going to drive up prices. And wait until Uncle Sam's creditors turn off the money spigot, then the gubmint will have to crank up the printing presses to hyperdrive to fund all of The Chosen One's pie-in-the-sky ideas. It'll be Weimar Germany all over. |
