Talk about taking to the streets. Forget the Iraq war for awhile and start a million person march over these f**cing RIP OFF gas prices. It took the Oil industry 100 FUCKING years to raise prices .70 per gallon,now they have do it in less than two months.

Get ready for the national average to be at $3.50+ per gallon by June.


SOAFB!!

1. They'll go back down around election time.
I'm expecting prices to start dropping sometime around September, so the Repubs can take credit for it. Count on it.

6. I will join you
just filled up the Prius yesterday - had put it off for days til I found the best price (gas prices are wildly varying right now - from 2.53 to 2.68 across the city)... because I could keep driving and driving without HAVING to get gas. :D

5. They know they're losing
this is "smash and grab" tactics, trying to get all the profits they can while the GOP is still in power.

7. We have been warned....
Last year, amazingly about the same time, this happened. Gas started going up

up

up

It didn't stop until it was over $3.00 per gallon here in Portland. Sometimes over that. People started scrambling. Started to really question their driving habits.

Then, prices slowly went

down

down

a little bit more.

And people relaxed. whew -- I get to keep my SUV, after all!

8. Are you getting PEAK OIL yet??
Sooner or later you'll realize why prices are going higher all the time..

Are you still wishing for the "good ole days"?? Are you still in denial??
