lets see, summer driving season is upon us, as well as opec cutting production, among other economic issues, and of course gas prices are going to rise. they will probably hit an average of about $3.50 a gallon this summer before coming back down to around $2.40 a gallon in the fall. we see this cycle every year for the last 50 years or so.
Half this country was in a deep freeze just a few days ago. WTH are you talking about?

To hell with Texas. They certainly don’t care about the misfortunes of non Texans.
I’m more than willing to pay more to help all Americans, but not just for the benefit of oil production States. Screw them.

It’s early April, and huge portions of this country were freezing just days ago. What summer?
Why didn’t gas hit $3.50 last year if that’s true?
Even I didn’t pay it any attention, until my Shell card bill came in the mail. Holy cow!! My monthly bill was 20% higher than last month and we drove about the same mileage as usual.
WTH? I thought all of this new “drill everywhere you can including in my driveway” type of hands off business friendly deregulation was gonna lower gas prices or at least keep it the same!
Didn’t think I’d see $3 buck gas this year. And don’t tell me about supply and demand because demand is no crazier now than it was last year. Save it.
So someone tell me what’s going on?
They have been talking about it in my neck of the woods for a couple of weeks at least........
Dang, you should appreciate how cheap the gas is there.
