It bugs me too, Bush has screwed up Iraq, Gave tax breaks to the WEALTHY and is giving money to major companies whose CEO's make Millions a year. So what about the CEO of a huge company going into retirement comfortably, while the average Joe struggles? Gas prices are hard on me, Gas isn't cheap, and I'm drive alot, which in turn, burns gas. $3.00 a gallon isn't great at all, infact, IT SUCKS. If they keep going, my paycheck will mostly go to gas. Thats not fair. \n\nBush may of wanted to drill in Alaska, but he would ruin the envrionment, and alls the republicans care about it MONEY $$$$$, they don't give a crap about the envrionment. \n\nAll in all, This sucks, I say, don't let those CEO's get tax breaks, make them spend money, and make those will all the cash, help fix up the envrionment instead of spending it on a fancy boat, or an estate.

It is ridiculous,  and I am scared about it.  The gas prices drive up the prices of all other products because, the products have to be driven to the stores in trucks run with gasoline.  So, not only do we end up paying more for gas, but for everything else as well.\nNow, I suppose for the upper and probably mid-level middle class this isn't that huge of a deal, but if you are mostly paycheck to paycheck, like my family, this can really hurt.\nOf course the rich get richer....that's just the way it goes.\nAnd what bugs me is that there isn't even a good reason for this gas spike...it is just speculation in the market driving up the price....\nWhere is our president when we need him?  He is NOT here for the majority of citizens in this country.  He has an agenda that goes against helping his own country, and that is pathetic.

He is absoulutly right, gasoline in Mexico City right now is $.78. I looked it up on the net. You people that can't do metric conversions and monetary conversions, are the stupid people. Of course America is getting screwed for the cost of fuel. America pays the most to offset the rest of the World economics. The burden is on us, and always has been.

My guess is that the price of gas keeps going up because we are still willing to pay it..  even though we should all just buy bicyles.  Second hand ones can't be more than $100.  Probably not that much.  Anyways, we need the gas so we pay high prices for it.  Sort of like food.  We need it, so we pay whatever the supplier says the price should be.  Here's a thought,  how about all of us who b*tch about the price of gas, go get on welfare so we can afford to buy the gas. Hey it might happen.   Just insist that you are mentally unstable.  Which of course, has to be true because society totally sucks.

If we bomb Iran, we will suddenly see gas prices between $7-10 dollars a gallon and even higher as we see massive gas shortages.  \n\nIf we leave Iran alone, we'll see gas prices at an average of $3.50 for the summer, $4 by fall or higher if a hurricane hits the gulf.

They are but prices for gas right now are through the roof. Try at least $3.50 for a gallon of gas. Everything is more expensive. There are a lot of locals who don't like tourist/ military here.

Have you checked the fuel prices lately?  I think people are looking for an alternative fuel source because of the rising prices of gas.  Not only that, this whole gas exploration thing creates such a power play in the world and even causes wars and embargoes.

There really isn't much. All gasoline has to meet federal standards. Go for price.

Truthfully and without sarcasm: no. Plain and simple. The hike in gas isn't just because of us invading Iraq. More and more people are using gas: it's the law of supply and demand. If the demand for a product goes up and there's a little supply (there really isn't a small supply, but these countries have to supply the whole world) the price goes up. Plus, with us being in the Middle East, other huge oil producing countries like Iran--especially with the controversy over their nuclear weapons program--might sell less oil to us, thus lowering the supply with the high demand, increasing the price.  And as long as the American people can and will pay for the gas, they'll keep selling it.  Also, as a result of whatever sanctions or mandates are out there on some foreign oils, prices will go up.  Just because there are oil fields in Iraq, doesn't mean that we went in there for that. Why would we do that? If the gas prices were moderate while Saddam was in power, without this huge hike in prices, why would we go in there specifically for oil? What would you do if you suspected a foreign power was invading you to overthrow you, take your money from the oil away and put it in their pockets? You'd do the same thing Saddam was doing (sabotaging oil fields and the pipelines).  The only reason why the oil prices went up to begin with during the Invasion was because Saddam felt that he wasn't doing anything wrong (like the genocide, even building up his military) and that the only reason the Coalition (led by the U.S.) was invading his country was because of the oil. And when the oil prices get high enough, don't you think people will find different venues around them? Like more carpooling, public transportation, bicycles. I know when they get so high that it's really burning a whole in my pocket, I'm buying a train pass.

George Bush has nothing to do with the gas prices. OPEC does. He's the US President, not God and ruler of all the world.

think about it this way ...Its a matter of how you think about it. Would you rather pay .60 for a soda or .59 ? Would you rather pay $16,000 for that new truck or $15,899. Its a marketing thing.

My old prediction was that their will be little change in consumption until fuel reaches $7/gallon. After watching the news last week, I'm beginning to think it may be closer to $5/gallon.\n\n$12/gallon would be too high, as the transportation charges would cause a serious blow to the cost of consumer goods and trigger inflation big time.

We'll spend $6 or $7 a gallon for gas because:\n\n- We're willing to.\n- Supply and Demand will dictate that price or higher.\n\nI saw a segment on 60 Minutes a couple weeks ago about huge reserves of oil in Canada. The reserves reside within soil.

As of yesterday it jumped 13 cents in 24 hours making it 2.69 in Florida, it makes me sick because they are just playing with us, there is no legitimate reason for these prices. The worst part of it is they say it will reach 3.50 per gallon by this summer and when that happens I will have to quit my job because it will cost me 35.00 a week just to drive to and from work, no place else just to and from work.I work part time just for extra spending cash ,my husbands job supports the household , so what's the point in my keeping the job, can't afford the gas to go any where and spend it.
