Average U.S. gasoline price tops $3 again

[nhboy]

"NEW YORK — Gasoline prices jumped back above $3 a gallon at the pump Monday even as concerns about the economy and increases in crude supplies sent oil prices lower.

Retail gas prices have been slow to catch up with soaring crude prices, which have gained nearly 39% since late August to a trading high of $96.24 on Thursday. Gas prices only started rising steadily in mid-October.

The national average price of a gallon of gas rose 1.5 cents overnight to $3.004, and has jumped almost 25 cents in three weeks, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service.

The sharp jump in gas prices could continue if oil keeps surging to new heights."

5 dollar a gallon is just around the corner. I went to Kenya for a month and they pay close to 8.25 a gallon.

You mean, YOU foresaw this, and DIDN'T buy stock in oil? You're a bloomin' idiot.

Its pretty stupid to blame this on Bush,but what the heckk , why not , he is to blame for everything else , right?

Well even if he is o blame, I would rather pay the high cost than wait in a Jimmy Carter mile long line to buy a gallon.

In August, gas was $5.35 per gal in the Bahamas.

...or a Richard Nixon line. Actually, I never experienced gas lines during the 79-90 time frame. I do remember the rationing which wasn't a big deal because it just meant to we could buy gas only on odd numbered days because of our license plate number.

Call it anybody's line you like, it was miserable and wasteful ,sitting in a line wasting gas so you could buy some.

By the way if we had drilled for oil in ANWR back 7 years ago when Bush came into the Presidency we would be putting it in our cars today. So lets say the Democrats and Envirowhacko's arent entirely innocent either.
We need to start drilling wherever we can in this country in order to breakl free from the hold the Middle east now has on us. Drill in the Everglades? Damned right. off California/? Damned right. Drill in my backyard if thats where it is.

Have there been any good estimations on how much oil is actually under ANWR?
