What's up with the preoccupation with the price of gas ? I can't remember it ever really going down or for that matter the price of a pair of jeans or a gallon of milk. where is it written that the price of every thing we buy goes up except gas?

The whole gas industry is a big conspiracy at this point. If Tesla could power a city from an electrical storm at the turn of the century than scientist today could easily make cars run on alternative fuels.

You can't remember it ever going down, eh? Apparently lefties can't seem to remember things that happened prior to their hero taking office.

Free market regulates gas prices. They are switching to summer blend, costs more, burns cleaner.

Happens every year. The same Republicans who screamed that Bush didn't regulate gas prices now claim that Obama drives them up. Can't have it both ways. And I know, liberals said nasty things about Bush, but that doesn't make it right.

The price of gas is always going up and down long term. I paid less for gas in the late 90's than I did all through the 80's and the early 90's. Cheapest I saw was about 82 cents on the Outer Banks and that was a on the Fourth of July weekend. That was probably 1998 or 99.
