Speculators,Lobbyists,Oil companies, Greed,Paid off politicians! Round em all up and bus em off the nearest cliff. Throw in a few lawyers for good measure! Maybe a start! Gas around 3.72 gallon down here in North Texas. Glad I don't have the 100 mile daily round trip commute anymore that I did for almost 23 years! 11 year old truck only goes about 20 miles a week now,giving it a well earned rest after almost 260,000 miles,gotta make it last as long as I do!

any reason for the increase in gas prices(and there all good reasons given) is helping our pocket books/wallets since we don't get raises to offset the HUGE increase of our expensives going to work or play. diesel up here is at $4.20 and rising so when when i fill my big truck every 2 days it's not cheap for my boss for sure. ouch!

3.75 here. My F-150 sits a lot more than it use to. It hasn't stopped me from riding but it's going to greatly effect how many trips I take this summer. It's too expensive to pull a large trailer right now. I know a lot of people who have pretty much canceled their summer plans and will just stick around home. For an Economy already in the crapper this is going to hurt us. People have yet again have stopped spending what little money they have.

$1.40 a liter in Canada ($5.29 a US gal) and Canada does not even import Oil we export 70% of it.

The Middle east could disappear and it does not affect our oil supply but what happens across the world still effects our gas prices, its crazy.

Even across the Border in Sault Michigan its $4.00 a gallon. Thats $1.05 a liter.

we're hovering around $3.83 to $3.87 near my house here in north central FL.... I have been putting more miles on my Honda shadow than my pickup lately. If they can have gas down to under $2 a gal, why in the hell do they need to double it with the economy in it's worst shape since the early 30's???????? I can't take the "change" that this peckerhead (that somebody elected as a president) has stuck us with anymore..... And still to this day I haven't met anyone that voted for him I know opec is who/what sets the prices of oil and all that, but damn... crooked polititions are getting their pockets lined and we're getting bent over without any lube or a kiss.... ok I'm done with my rant I just can't figure out how they can have oil down so low and all of a sudden go up so high that fuel is outragous. I remember in high school I could fill my silverado up for around $20.... now, that's what it costs to fill my polaris.....

Obama's EPA chief isn't helping either. Just said no to another drilling opportunity. Can't keep closing oil wells, refineries, and exploration and expect prices to go down while worldwide demand goes up. I think my son's understand economics better than this admiistration does.
