Gas prices running away?

Prices jumped .40 cents a gallon across America in 5 days! Prepare for well over $4.00 soon! Better watch the pumps as its going higher almost daily!

Update:

Wonder why we don't drill here seeing as we have plenty of oil? Its very costly, but maybe its time to consider.

    The EPA and Environmentalists group have blocked the drilling of the huge natural reserve in N & S Dakotas, Montana, and Southern Canada. With the oil companies and engine manufacturers in collusion to not produce highly efficient engines and not strive for alternate fuel sources, the public is paying "through the nose" for imported oil. As Bill Cosby has said "We export tons of wheat to the oil producing countries for their food consumption. We need to charge them the same amount for a bushel of wheat as we pay to import a barrel of oil. Then watch the price of oil come down". I just saw a photographic slide show yesterday of the Saudi Arabia king's new Mercedes-Benz. It is not made out of steel, plastic, but WHITE GOLD!. That is what we are paying for when we buy gas at our pumps.

    $3.50 down here in south Florida. People were starting fights at the only gas station under that in my area and some old man told me some rather rude, disgusting things while waiting in line for the pump.
