yes if the government lets the natural economic cycle run its course we would enter a recession and prices would come down, but for now they print more money to stop us getting into recession now but will lead to a much bigger problem in the future we will most likely have the second great depression

The refinery accident in Tx is not helping the situation. We can see prices as high as $3.50 in NW Florida.... What is the cost in the rest of the state?

Be thankful......$3.50 is only 16 cents away up here.....$3.34 in western NY.
Lower gas prices are one of the things I LIKE about Florida.

I hope that it keeps increasing, higher gas prices will finally tame Florida's out-of-control development and crack Nazi style zoning laws. The less that people drive, the more self-sufficient and resourceful they need to be. You may even see the return of the backyard vegetable garden! Team Metro goons will have to get a real job. I am almost done with the wood powered car in the mentime.

We are not paying nearly enough for our fuel. We need triple fuel taxes so people will think about what and how they drive. A freightliner SUV or V-12 Dually is not needed to take kids to soccer, but the rest of the world is paying $3/litre for gas and we pay that for a whole gallon! Then, and only then will we get our heads out of our rears and get serious about our insane addictions to fossil fuels. We are the worst on the planet for unnecessary consumption and self-destructive politics. We would rather buy fuels from lunatics that want to lop our heads off than address the real issues.
