Tasering speculators, throwing big oil officials off the top of tall buildings, and tar and feathering republican lawmakers. These are a good start to get it through to them that WE the PEOPLE have had ENOUGH!

So. Just tell us what freaking events have to occur to make the price of gas go down. Does it involve tasering speculators?

Crude oil inventories increased by 3.9 million barrels, Gas supply is up and demand is down. Yet around here gas prices just jumped 30 cents a gallon.

What, supply and demand does not matter when supply is high.

As short as the US in supply, why do we export such large quantities of fuel. Pump price of gas increased $0.24/gal. three days ago.

Optimism about the economy will drive gas prices up. Just look at what the market did today.
