Thanks to the tree-huggers, no new refineries have been built in the USA for something like 30 years. So gasoline is in tight supply during the summer (when consumptions is up due to travel, auto airconditioners, and lawn mowers), regardless of the oil supply.

Belch-talking is three times as funny, and you don't need to be on the Internet. Try belch-talking "Saudi Arabia". It's way more fun than reading that crap.

That translates to about US $3.06 per gallon. Oh, and I should point out that while in Canada, gas was 99.9¢ (CAD) per liter. That translates to about US $3.06 per gallon.

Unfortunately, that went about as well as the whole "they'll greet us with flowers" thing. :) Well, yeah, we went to war for cheap oil.

I was out of the country for two weeks, and when I got back I was shocked by the highest gas prices I've seen. This is having on effect on everything; my brand of cereal shot up to FIVE DOLLARS a box! At this rate, commentators will soon have to start using that dread "i" word again. (I guess it's been so long that I should point out that the word is "INFLATION.") Have I noticed? Boy, have I ever…
