Why not $6/gal? There is no consequence for morons spreading fear of how high prices will rise. BTW prices usually rise as summer approaches anyways. Only 1 or 2 years in the past decade have they decreased or remained even. But only 1 or 2 times did they rise drastically and those times had very different economic conditions.

Heard that the oil companies in the U.S. are exporting oil to China and other countries that because of higher demand there the price per gal. is higher and more money per barrel the return in profit is higher. If demand in the US is lower the cost per gal is lower - oil companies get less return. Don't know true this is but keeping us from drilling new wells and releasing strategic reserves (supposed to be for military use (or whatever)doesn't seem to smart either.

Tell Obama thanks for the high gas prices. Also remind Michele and the girls to have fun on their 2012 ski vacation in the Rockies because their won’t be any government paid vacations next year.

Hey TerryLee:
Remember when Boehner stood with his Wall Street pals and refused to pass legislation regulating teh commodity markets? Remember when McConnell and his pals filibustered similar legislation in the Senate? The last I saw both of those clowns had R's behind their name. And you blame the President? One might say the Right got exactly what it asked for.
Take a look at how much money Wall Street has in the oil markets. $300 to $350 billion is 35 to 40 days of global oil demand. And Wall Street owns it. They determine the price of oil by how much of their oil they rlease for sale to the rest of the world. That's why position limits sre needed to reign in these "patriots".

WALL STREET INVESTORS have moved out of FINANCIAL STOCKS into OIL FUTURES that have moved BILLIONS of DOLLARS to BUY UP OIL SUPPLIES in the form of OIL FUTURES to BET that OIL will be higher in MONTHLY BLOCKS but they NEVER TAKE DELIVERY instead SPECULATORS continuously ROLLOVER their DELIVERY DATE to the NEXT MONTH. – See this REPORT from KTLA

BIG OIL REPUBLICANS don’t care about you, they just NEED your VOTE

The BASELINE price for GAS should never have climbed above $1.50, when Bush took office GASOLINE was $1.50 a gallon, and then again when Bush TANKED the WOLRD ECONOMY speculators fled and again GASOLINE was $1.50 a gallon, you can see the TRUE WORTH of unmanipulated / unspeculated GASOLINE Prices… by looking at when BUSH took Office, then again in 2008 when he TANKED the world’s economy each time unmanipulated / unspeculated GASOLINE was $1.50 a gallon

Republican OIL SPECULATORS on WALL STREET have spent the entire OBAMA presidency just trying to Manipulate the OIL Market back to George W. Bush(R)’s $4.11 Gasoline.

--- >> clpassenubye I hope this speculation about $5 is wrong
SADLY "clpassenubye" it is NOT...
SPECULATORS are NAMING their PRICE... like BABE RUTH's "CALLED SHOT"...
SPECULATORS won't quit unti they've made their PROFIT... it has become a THREE YEAR CYCLE as shown on this GasBuddy CHART .
The DIP and UPWARD TRENDS on the GasBuddy CHART IN BOTH CASES where the UPWARD TRENDS occur are where SPECULATORS PILE BACK IN. When the SPECULATORS BUBBLE BURSTS again, there will be another PLUNGE soon and the CYCLE will REPEAT.
BECAUSE the SPECULATORS NEVER TAKE DELIVERY of their OIL on PAPAER FUTURES CONTRACTS, the PRICE will rise until the MARKET is unable to BEAR it and GASOLINE will return to it's NATURAL VALUE of $1.50 a gallon, the $1.50 PLUNGE POINT as shown in the MIDDLE of this GasBuddy CHART .---
There is NO SHORTAGE of REFINED GASOLINE in the U.S., only an OVERABUNDANCE of SPECULATOR GREED in the OIL FUTURES MARKET, bidding up the PRICE of OIL CONTRACTS, that INVESTORS NEVER TAKE DELIVERY OF.
---
DRILL BABY DRILL then EXPORT somewhere else does not make any sense. U.S. OIL Companies Export 117 million gallons per day of Refined GASOLINE... from the U.S. away to OTHER COUNTRIES... to keep the price up...
---
MANIPULATING the OIL FUTURES MARKET is a “Suited-Up” RICH MAN's GAME, played on the BACKS of HARD WORKING AMERICANS.
---
Investors have moved out of Financial Stocks into OIL FUTURES Market which currently have a higher rate of return. See this REPORT from KTLA

I still think $5+/gallon will be confined to the normally higher priced metros like LA, Chicago, and New York City. However, we all can expect $4/gallon, and possibly up around $4.50/gallon.
