e mail the white house and your congressman. The numbers they talk about are for regular...(-
from the San Diego Tribune:
"Analysts say that prices are likely to climb higher by summer.
"I don't know if there's any end in sight," said Carol Thorp, spokeswoman at the Auto Club. "There's ample supply to meet demand, but there is also a huge amount of speculation on the oil markets and there is a lot of profit-taking among the oil companies."
Michael Shames, executive director of UCAN, projected that prices could top $2.70 a gallon this summer.
"We could be in for a prolonged hemorrhaging of dollars, not only out of consumers' pockets but away from the state," he said. "We have to address the question of what we are going to do about all the cash being siphoned out of the economy that's never going to come back to the state."
In a letter yesterday, Shames asked Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to take several steps to stabilize prices, such as declaring a state of emergency in order to expedite energy-related legislation and launching an investigation into whether there has been excessive profit-taking.
"The bulk of the price increases are due to greed, a lack of competition, and enormous profit-taking activities at the refinery level," Shames wrote. "California refineries are feasting at the expense of consumers. Oil prices are high, but the increased cost of gasoline is largely due to gouging at the refinery and retail levels."

the Gas face
Yeah, I just paid over $3.00 a gallon here in the Bay (SF Area) for 91.
Once this rain clears up, I will be riding my Motorcycle to work more often. You cant beat 40mpg via 91 with my R6, rather than 17mpg via 91 with the G.
Bottom Line is that no matter how high gas prices go, we will for the most part still pay to drive the cars we want.

I'm dreading it!

I was pumping gas the other day I had a little under 1/4 tank left. So I'm watching the price go up while pumping $28 $29 $30 $31 I finally stopped pumping it myself at $33 because It didn't stop on it's own and was pissed that it still wasn't full. But that's life I guess I'll still drive it no matter if it goes to $4 a gallon haha
