I was hearing that gas may go up to $3.50 by summer. "They" always have an excuse for justifying their greed......
They are over $3.00 now in some cities.
I'm going to go with near $4.00 by summer.
ME countries have economic problems..food inflation is hurting their people and the Tunisia uprising has scared them into subsidizing prices for their people. They need money.

I remember seeing similar things happening in America in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. On the news I saw a gas station that listed the prices at $6 a gallon.
It seems as though prices in gas prices are increasing again in the wake of other disasters such as the uprising in Tunisia and last year's earthquake in Haiti. It's almost as if the oil companies are exploiting these disasters for profit.

Doesn't matter what we think or what seems to be happening.
Prices go up..Congress calls a big hearing on price fixing and the oil boyz tell them "Oh no, we wouldn't dream of doing that to the American people" and everyone goes back to BAU.
Less demand means less being sold means higher prices cause they have to make their profits.
LOL....
Funny,I really dont hear Liberals or Dems b*tching about gas prices now that a Dem is running the show.
If I recall somewhere Obama say "$5.00 a gallon is O.K. with him"
Guess its short term memory lose
Do you have any liberal or democrat friends cause me and mine ***** all day everyday about gas. Hell, the other day I saw gas for $3.04, took a picture of the pump and posted it on my facebook as the cheapest gas I've gotten in weeks.
Interesting that you say that (facetiously or not), if gas goes to 4 bucks, they'll wish that he was back in power. In fact, i think if he was still the president, they would've already done it. They don't have friends in the White House at the moment (although, they really do...just not the kind they want), so they're being more incremental about it.
They said the 'reason" for the increase was not a shortage but because of the "weak american dollar",Well I guess they can use that as a reason to increase prices for the next 50 years....Heaven help us if there does become a shortage because then they can jump up to 10 bucks a gallon and get away with it..
It is not news. It is expected. And for an economy that loves being excessively reliant on oil... well, good luck to us.
I agree.
