This is exactly what they want.
They want us to think that $2 + a gallon is cheap! eessed:

Tell the ragheads to go skrew themselves.

Cut back your consumption. Take mass transit if you drive.

Car pool with a friend to the beach.

Isnt this about what we were paying last year just about all summer. I made atleast 3 trips to the cape a week last summer and the gas station at the sagamore bridge, mainland side was always about 2.12-2.22 a gallon. For some reason if ya went to M&D's yoiu could save 20 cents or so a gallon. The real pisser is that i dont make a lot of cash but will still make two trips a week to either the canal or soco, and if its gunna cost me 35 bucks round trip it just gets put on the credit card. The is always a lot of talk about the mounting debt our country has, like 8K credit card debt per american, if gas one of the biggest comodities was more affordable i bet the debt would atleast level off a bit, and if plugs didnt cost 20 bucks .

Nope, higher.

Unleaded on average is expected to hit $2.30 - $2.50 per gallon by Memorial Day, assuming consumption doesn't change.

I just read (the now infamous) Goldman Sachs energy report that said that under certain circumstances, crude could hit $105 per barrel (double where it is now).

$105/bbl = $5.00 for a gallon of unleaded!

I'm serious about the fishing car pooling thing (kinda like splitting gas for an outing on a friend's boat).

Think maybe its time to start burning french-fry oil?

Some engines don't care what gets burned - a carbon chain is a carbon chain!

Used fryolator restaurant grease is often collected for re-use as a component of livestock feed (it can't be flushed down the sewer - plays havoc with the wastewater treatment plant).

This is weird, but I just saw an ad in a nearby town advertising "soy fuel" for heating oil burners. This alternative fuel stuff is really starting to take hold.

My favorite place to buy gas is the Mobil station at the NY end of the Merit Parkway. Always the cheapest NOT!!!!

I am always scanning for low prices, but in most cases driving out of my way for cheap gas uses up the 20-60 cents I'll save.

Those were Memorial Day prices last year. So far this year we are 25-35 cents higher per gallon than THIS time last year... Yes, Cesspoo, errr, Carpooling....
