We are near $5 now in some places in California.
One station a couple of blocks near me is at $5.
My water company just sent me a letter saying they want to increase prices 35%.
My wife's insurance since Obama came to office with Obama-care went from $365 a month to $700.
Our old Governor Gray Davis gave away the farm on electricity and already has us paying 400% over national averages for energy.
Gas is going up.
Obama wants to double (over 50% tax) the death tax on the already taxed estate you might want to pass on to your children, wife, husband or others.
All part of the Obama plan my friend.
The ONE, how is that hope and change thingy working for us? For me and anyone making a Penney I think it sucks.
Only the far left, welfare types and UNION government employees love him for all the transfers of wealth to them.
Where the heck in California do you live? I live in California and I haven't seen that, yet.
I'd love to see that gas station with the "almost 5$ gas"
What, pray tell, "insurance " does your wife have?
What's a "Penney" and why do you make them?

It is really beyond you not wanting Obama reelected with high gas prices IMO.
If praying on the sweeping assumptions that you made for another poster works for you...then by all means have at it. I don't see how that works but whatevs.
But you know what they say about "ass"uming things.
What "realities" are you working with? Your comments reek of fantasies, and plenty of 'em.
And besides, the OP's article said this:
Some experts are predicting gas could hit close to $5-per-gallon as soon as the summer time.
That's bored central Texas looking to fill some pages.
Hardly a fact, or even a story for that matter.
Do folks here believe that when someone looks sideways at them, that automatically means that they are a serial killer?

The realities of life is that oil is not an infinite ressource and that people are gonna have to start to make choices.
What's unrealitistic is expecting indefinitly low gas prices with extremely high world demand.
80-85% of people live in urban areas. Most of these people could use public transit yet most of them drive a car to commute.
The reality of life is that oil is becoming a luxury. So grow up and make intelligent choices, or keep expecting the government to drive prices down (as if presidents could reverse these trends).
You're the one acting like a child waiting for the government to solve his problem. Man up and accept the consequences of your lifestyle.
Obama told us energy prices would be need to be painfully high and still he was voted in.
The problem is that you don't understand his point on the subject. I hope this is just a case where you simply don't want to. If not, I can try and help.
So, how was gas guzzler (auto) market doing in summer 2008? Pick one...
1- Good
2- Bad
3- No change
What about these high energy costs destroying low income families? Or does your ideology trump your concern for your fellow man?
I"m not a rich guy but I make enough to get by. I would put my self in right in the middle class income level. The problem with people like you are the shorted sightedness and lack of economic education. The short term rise in gas prices will lead to many long term benefits as the entire economy is forced by the market to adapt by becoming more energy efficient. Many Americans are willing to accept this short term pain to get the long term benefits.

What a bunch of nervous nellies.
We have $5 in the cities in some places already.
Also consider California has ground polluting fuel forced on us by the libs and it is more costly to make than other gas, so we get to the $5 quicker.
Eh, if gas hits five dollars a gallon then I will invest in a bike. I don't really drive that much anyhow. A tank usually lasts over two weeks for me.
