U.S. Gas Prices Up, Up and Away

U.S. retail gasoline prices hit an all-time high Monday the Energy Department reported on Monday. The Energy Department shows U.S. gasoline inventories at 199 million barrels, down 8 million barrels from a year ago and far below average levels for this time of year. Increased
summer demand will continue to drive the price of gasoline to even higher levels.

Don't expect any intervention by The White House-President Bush can't stop gasoline prices from rising this summer, said White House spokesman Ari Fleischer Monday, even if the cost tops $3 per gallon.

Perfect. The price of petrol in the US is amongst the cheapest in the world. Your reliance on it is a critical weakness of your economy. Everyone else is working on alternatives and has infrastructure like public transport in place to minimise energy consumption.

Prices in the US must rise. Enjoy!

Adjusted for inflation gas prices in the U.S. are actually quite low.
Not that I care I don't drive anyway.
The crisis is being fabricated by the leaders of the U.S. to push for more production of more oil and the burning of more coal not to mention nuclear power.
ALL THE WRONG choices for our nergy future.
