my automotive teacher has a friend that is a shell rep. and he said we should be expecting to pay 4$ a gallon during the summer. he said the goverment is putting more pressure on the oil comp to raise the price of gas hopeing to slow the travel of people. and trying to push people into buying hybrid cars. i am sick of the goverment we need someone new thank goodness there will be an election soon. i need to think about makeing my own gas in the backyard make my own grain alc. lol but yeah it is expected to hit 4$ this summer

That sounds like a load of B.S. to me. Fuel at $4.00 a gallon does three things. One increases the profits of the most profitable business going, two drives the rate of inflation through the roof (bad for economy) and three because cost of living is higher wages will raise accordingly/and or mass layoffs to offset fuel costs(wages will take time to catch up but the layoffs will be immediate hurting the economy even more.) Does that sound like a smart move for a government trying to dig it's self out. I know our government doesn't have the brightest people in it but there are some good ones. Rember there is alot more to oil usage then just joe schmoe driving around. Ohh as for the source a "Shell rep" sounds more like he's planting a seed to justify fuel costs going through the roof and redirecting the blame to some one other then those who really drive the price.

Yep, the government has little influence on the price of gasoline... it's not Bush's fault, contrary to popular liberal beliefs. How's come no one was blaming it on him late last year when gas prices were below $2/gal once again? I know not even 3 months ago I paid $1.99 for premium.

If gas prices get that bad, I'll start looking for a big gas tank...get with some friends and buy a bunch of gas when it (hopefully) gets back to 1.90s range. Hopefully we could all save a ton of money that way.

$3.28 for premium. I put in $50 and I could of gone more but the pump stopped me at $50 even. With the prices so high, they need to adjust the limits, dang it.
