Oil went over 60 and settled back down under..but if it gets to 70 we have 3 dollar gas AGAIN.
Thanks Obama for sending the message that we wont drill or get any new refineries up and running.
The oil cartels will drive up oil again to help weaken America further.
and not 1 Democrat complains in Congress and of course everyone here would just BLAME BUSH.

Let's see, under Bush it was over $4/gallon, but you say we blame Bush way too much. I'm paying $2.50ish/gallon now, and you want to blame Obama for a price raise that hasn't happened yet.
Interesting.

I don't remember if anyone else said it, but I know I'm on record as stating that gas prices would drop as the election approached, and then creep back up over the year afterward.
Nothing new to see here.

And I'm on record as saying that I think the government ought to slap another $1 or so gas tax on in order to pay for infrastructure and reduce demand for consumption.
But Obama owes too many favors to Detroit, and it would be a death sentence for any politician anyway.

US Energy policy has been a no-show for years -- basically we don't have one. You can blame Bush II, Obama, Clinton, Bush I, Reagan, and Carter for starters. So called alternative/green energy sources won't make much of a dent in our usage for decades. We need something to tide us over until they become big contributors (if they ever do). The two best options are Natural Gas and Nuclear Fission. Coal still needs to be in the mix for another 30 years also. Long, long term, maybe Nuclear Fusion can become an option.

Long, long term, maybe Nuclear Fusion can become an option. We get that for free every day, unless you live in Seattle.

When are you dillweeds finally gonna figure out that gas and energy issues are strictly economic, and not political. Stop looking to the government to fix all your energy issues - gas and energy are still supply/demand markets. Want the prices to go down? Take a little personal initiative and USE LESS. When the demand drops, the prices will drop. Idiots.

Going back wards ..because I can. GBB..usually I agree ,but it's all political now. OBAMA is killing any gas or oil industry RIGHT NOW..with threats of higher taxes at the producer and consumer ends. That ain't supply and demand in any economics 101 class I know of. MG..Gee. OBAMA INHERITS a GOOD THING ...CHEAP GAS and does nothing to promote or keep the car companies in Business by lowering Cafe standards and or promoting new drilling here to stimulate jobs now. He KILLS 2 birds with 1 rock..the auto industry and oil. He knows that cheap gas is GOOD for AMERICA and BAD for DEMOCRATS...in so many ways. Hammer.. OK blame everyone..but REPUBLICANS HAD an alternative to what you are getting now..BLAME DEMOCRATS...and the eco nuts that support them. O& U ... Boring...everyone said that!

FOR those who are truly interested... OIL and Gas INVENTORIES are nearing a all time high. ALL TIME. GAS DEMAND is DOWN 8% this year alone. GAS PRICES are UP 20 cents are UP in the last month. DEMOCRATS SCREAMED when it happened under BUSH.. HOLD HEARINGS...go after the evil oil companies. Now that DEMOCRATS are in Charge??? CRICKETS.

Getting closer...
Meanwhile OBAMA shows his true socialist stripe..
1 standard fits all.
and GOVERNMENT DETERMINES EVERYTHING.
libertarians...and conservatives are going to fight this whole deal.
SINCE WHEN DOES A GOVERNMENT DETERMINE WHAT IS BEING MADE...BOUGHT AND SOLD ON THE FREE MARKET?
and guess what...more cost for us...
IT didn't work in Calif...so lets bankrupt AMERICA.
