18. Remember when gasolene was under $2.00 per gallon?
I do. President William Jefferson Clinton was president. Vote Democratic!

(snip)

Gas prices have increased 70 percent. Prices at the gas pump jumped 70 percent from $1.47 per gallon the week President Bush took office in January 2001 to $2.31 in the latest week of energy price data. The average price for the summer was 87.5 percent higher than the average price for the summer of 2001. The monthly average price for August 2006 was 104 percent higher than the monthly average price for January 2001. The price for a barrel of oil has more than doubled during the Bush Administration from $30.63 in January 2001 to $61.40 in early September 2006. (Energy Information Administration, Household Vehicle Energy Use: Latest Data and Trends; Weekly Retail Gasoline and Diesel Prices, 10/2/06; Spot Prices for Crude Oil, 9/22/06) The average household with children will spend about $3,786 on transportation fuel costs this year, an increase of 99 percent or $1,883 over 2001 costs. (Energy Information Administration, Household Vehicle Energy Use: Latest Data and Trends; Short Term Energy Outlook, 9/12/06)
