If production is up domestically and we still have steady supplies from South America and the Middle East?

Way is the Department of Energy and Obama trying to stabilize price and the speculators really drive me crazy. They raise pricing when there is no shortage?

What up with that?

I don't think it's that bad.

However, what does increased domestic production have to do with it? Oil is sold on the open market...that's why i don't get why people are so giddy about domestic oil production as if its benefiting the average American. It doesn't help us one bit at the gas pump.

And i don't give a damn what anyone says...oil IS NOT priced according to supply and demand! I know people that are steeped in this oil stuff and even they can't explain the disconnect between barrel price and pump price.

No, you're misinformed. Since a Democrat is in office, gas is never too high and everyone is pleased. Nobody understands what you're saying and we all love things the way they are.

Yes, I've heard numerous Democrats on this website jump from

Gas prices are too high because Bush crashed the economy, to gas prices are too low because the economy is improving..

I just miss the daily reports on "soaring gas prices" that I used to see on the news, accompanied by interviews of people on the streets saying that they can't live and they have to choose between food and gas. Obama got elected and they looked around and were like "huh, surprisingly, I have no problem any more!" Then they high-fived the interviewer and drove off.

That would depend on where the OP lives and where they are going.

In our area there is little choice.

It hasn't gone up that much here. 91 octane is still under $4, about $3.90, IIRC. 87 is about $3.70. Typically, 91 floats between $3.69 and $4, and 87 about $3.39 to $3.75. How high are prices in your area?
