3. Yeah...
Today I heard they are trying to blame it all on president Obama saying there is a conspiracy inside the WH to keep oil prices high so they can encourage green sources for energy! In reality it's really much more simple, wall street is manipulating prices UP because they know they can get away with it as long as republicans are in control of the house! They want to make another huge "killing" on oil prices before the next election when the odds of the GOP keeping the house are getting smaller and smaller! It's all about GREED, and the republicans allowing them to screw the people of this country!

2. That's great
I have been waiting for gas to go down here, but it's been at $4.06 this whole month and hasn't gone down one penny! It happens ever year, the jack up prices for memorial day and then if we are lucky it goes down within a week or two "after" memorial day! Of course if wall street has their way, they will continue to manipulate prices higher and higher because they know the republicans in the house will do NOTHING to stop it, and NOTHING to enforce regulations that wold stop them from speculating the way they are!

4. Until the next holiday weekend
Independence Day is on a Monday this year making for another 3 day weekend. The prices are sure to soar just ahead of that weekend.

5. It has gone down 25 cents here since Congress tore the CEOs new assholes.
I'm not sure if it is related, but it happened.
