The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline hit $3.80 on Monday, up 14 cents from the same time last year, the highest price ever recorded during a Labor Day weekend, GasBuddy.com reports.

Ya forgot a hurricaine that came thru the gulf and shut down rigs for a week or so. Prolly just getting back online now.
Perhaps you should point your anger at the big businesses that are artificially inflating the price so they can make a few more billions or OPEC for maintaining price levels, or Kissinger and Nixon for coming up with the OPEC Idea.

Or would you like to look at the current Congress for not being as aggressive at measures for oil freedom as our President.
You have a handful of people that are trying to make a change... Romney or the R's won't be among them. You don't like the price of gas today... thank Ronnie and the others with their failed policies or blocks to policies for change.
