    Gas is a traded commodity, so if demand doesn't drop, and production does, prices go up. There is certianly gouging going on by some groups no doubt, so I have no sympathy for those people, but the real problem is going to be the fight for the current supply. China has a lot to bring money-wise, and a huge demand...we're going to be in a battle in the future for the reserves.

    I also don't think we'll lend a hand to Saudi either. i think it'll be every country for themselves at some point, unless Russia and China step in, which will also be bad.

    A recent oil vistior to our company predicted that if Saudi falls, expect $10 to $20 a gallon at the pump. They refine crude but already having some difficulty in the supply chain.

    Where's Jed Clampett when you need him ??

    Will the price of diesel drop when the heating oil season is over...doubtful.

    Shipping by truck is gonna jackup the price everything.

    No E36 M3! As a matter of fact, I remember an editor of a certain car magazine coming up to me at Road Atlanta and saying, "Man, when the hell is Bush going to do something about these gas prices!?"

    PS: You know thee Obama's drunk drivin' legless daddy was an 'oil man' too, right? Oh the ironing.

    Gas has been going up here for the last few days and in total has jumped almost 40 cents a gallon. Diesel is almost up to $4 a gallon.
