No freakin' kidding. It is rediculous. Any threat of a threat in the middle east they raise the prices regardless.

Wasn't it last quarter (or maybe last of last year) the oil companies made record profits, yet our gas prices kept rising. Then we have bush saying "supply and demand". He's an oil man of course and protecting his buds. (sorry, don't mean to make this political)

Was 2.55 last week, now 2.67 is the cheapest. Keeps going up.

when gas hits $6-8/gallon and people are being shot over tanks of it...just wait!

This is scary, but I think you are right. Just look at what went on in the 70's during the last "gas shortage" That is when you saw locking gas caps come out, as people were stealing gas right out of the cars parked on the street.

.....and grrrrr here too. I just filled up at $3.05 for premium ($2.89 reg)

. It's not even close to memorial day yet so I hate to think what it'll be by summer this year. My car's also sucking more fuel than usual too.
My cousin has a Hyundai and sure, it's a cheap POS BUT it gets 37 mpg.
