So many ridiculous comments have been made in this thread, I had trouble singling one out. Oh well, this one will do for now...
Do you really think Bush aka US Government has ANYTHING to do with the price of gas right now? I mean, come on, have you even taken High School economics? Get a clue. Barrels come in to our country at a set price, for instance, right now they're capping over 80$ per barrel. That means that the price our country BUYS the barrels at is what we sell them at (the individual gas stations will put a small % cap on top of that for profit margin).
If you really want to yell at somebody, yell at the incapabilities of OPEC. Their latest slew of PR has said, "Uh, well, we should be pumping out more fuel but..."
At any rate, the huge rise in the price of oil (something we don't hear all that much about) is due to the enormous requirements of India and China at the moment, who are now beginning an oil-usage boom.
Feel the enlightenment.
