Since you invited me, I will opine!I believe that all representatives and congressmen that have served over the past twenty years should be convicted of treason and hung by the neck until dead. This would be for their crimes committed against the united states by creating the energy situation that we are in today.With that being said, we must do a few things to start the ball rolling in the right direction. 1) Repeal all laws restricting drilling in ANWR and off of our coasts.2) Build some refineries. Oil is useless without a way to turn it into fuel.3) Embrace nuclear energy. We made a few bad films about Nuclear that devastated the industry.4) Dump the subsidy and mandate for "food to fuel" programs. Admit it was a bad idea.If we embrace some of these ideas, we may see some relief down the road. If not, we won't.I saw yesterday where the House passed a bill allowing us to sue OPEC. That is simply insanity. If anyone should be sued it should be the idiots in Washington.Ok I'm done. I have to go to work now. ;-)(I need to stop and put $150 worth of gas in my Suburban)Jeff

I don't like high fuel prices !! :M:M:W:WEnd of rant and now lets get back out there and go camping !!Thanks...I feel better now !

And fuel will probably get pricier when Congress passes the CLIMATE CHANGE SECURITY ACT.

One other idea is to repeal the laws that require something like 8 or 9 different gasoline formulations depending on where you live in the U.S.

This from the AP wire a few minutes ago:NEW YORK - Oil prices bolted to a new record above $132 a barrel Wednesday after the government reported that supplies of crude oil and gasoline fell unexpectedly last week. And crude's rise in the futures market again pressured consumers by pulling prices at the pump higher — a gallon of regular gas rose overnight to a new record above $3.80 a gallon. In its weekly inventory report, the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said crude oil inventories fell by more than 5 million barrels. Analysts had expected a modest increase. Gasoline inventories also fell and took the market by surprise.Light, sweet crude for July delivery was up more about $3, rising as high as $132.08 a barrel in late morning trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.At the pump, the average national price of a gallon of regular gas rose 0.7 cent overnight to a record $3.807 a gallon, according to a survey of stations by AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. Prices are 60 cents higher than a year ago, and many forecasters believe they'll hit $4 on a national basis at some point over the next month. Prices are already that high in many parts of the country, and the number of stations charging $4 or more rises each day.Diesel fuel rose 1.9 cents to its own record price of $4.558 a gallon Wednesday. Rising prices of diesel, used to transport most consumer and industrial goods, are sending prices of food and many other goods higher.

I saw today that GE announced a $15 BILLION investment in the fracking industry starting with a large research center in OK.

And the greenies in California are screaming about fracking operations that even Gov. Moonbeam supports.

Prices continue the downward drift. Current prices on Gas Buddy show many stations at $4.01. Oh, so close to the "magical" $4.00 mark :). That means next week we'll spend less money for gasoline for our camping trip.

Diesel is cheaper than gasoline up here - $3.99. Gasoline prices continue to slowly drift down. Prices this morning range from $4.11 to $4.21. The oil price this morning is $93.87 a barrel. Hopefully the refineries will be back up soon and the gasoline prices will retreat below $4.00 a gallon.

In all seriousness, how do we account for a $1 price differential between gas prices in MN vs. Tucson? When you take out the dime state tax difference, that's a huge spread.

I agree. Today locally I bought gas/diesel at Shell for $3.37/3.69

Found regular for $3.75/gal at one of the old favorite stations and topped up the last 1/4 tank of the MH. This price is down near the Costco zone. I've seen this station do this before, when the wholesale price of gas has dropped and other station are raking the profits while they can. This station is going for the volume. Other mainstream/top tier stations are still at $3.89/val.

And 5 years ago it was more expensive than today. See? Gas is cheaper today than it was 5 years ago. Account for inflation and it's an even greater bargain today than back then.

Don't try to confuse some with the facts.

That fits with this article, where when folks that are fact challenged have to establish causal relationships between steps supporting their "facts", moderate their views.
