It's been going up 2 cents a day for the last few months, it should level out after labor day, or at least I hope it does

Last year gas was cheaper on July 4th than on Memorial Day. |

I read that this recent big jump was because refineries had switched over to "summer" regulation gas, which is more expensive to produce supposedly. That's all well and good, but what about the 15 cents it's gone up since then? Let's hope it will begin to level off as the driving season gets going.
I wonder if this talk of haulting the contribution to the strategic patroleum reserve will help like some say it will.

I remember when the price per gallon window on the pump only went as high as .99 and 9/10.
I remember when stations had to scramble for new pumps went it went above a buck a gallon. This would be about the late 70s, during the second embargo--Iran hostage era. |

I pumped gas at Duarte's in P-town for 39.9 and 43.9 for premium. That was the Summer of '69 no pun intended.  |

This whole business of the oil companies turning record profits amongst all this just doens't add up. Then they go in front of congress and say they are victims of the high prices too, oh really? Then they put detergent in the gasoline and charge an extra 15 cents a gallon  |

What I love most about McCain, is that he might be a closet card carrying member of Greenpeace. He had this to say on the O'Reilly factor:
O’REILLY: You voted against ANWR drilling. You voted against ANWR.
MCCAIN: Yes, and I’ll vote against drilling if they want to drill in the Grand Canyon, and I’ll vote against it if they want to drill in the Everglades. And I will try to make it more attractive for Florida and California and other states to have drilling off of their coasts, but I’m not going to force them to because…
O’REILLY: But no one lives in ANWR.
MCCAIN: No, it’s pristine beauty.
O’REILLY: So what? Who sees it?
MCCAIN: Well, all I do is believe that we have to preserve some of the great natural treasures of this earth…
O’REILLY: In the Arctic Circle?
MCCAIN: …no matter where they are, my friend. And I…
O’REILLY: You know, a lot of people aren’t going to like that.
MCCAIN: I know a lot of people don’t like it, but I am also an environmentalist. And so was Teddy Roosevelt, my hero. And I believe that there are just some things that you have to…

Ditto.
If you somehow believe the hype from the oil lobbyists about drilling in ANWR you're a complete fool. Same with the Bristol Bay Pebble Mine. |

Why sell a barrel of oil for $50, when it is evident that you can sell it for $100+ and demand budges little. The only thing drilling in ANWR will do is put more $100+ priced barrels on the market. The Oligopoly is in full effect, and the lobbying firms are their tentacles. |

$8 per barrel x god knows how many barrels per day PROFIT wasn't good enough. 
And the only good thing about McCain taking office would be a damn hot 1st daughter.  |

What concerns me most about McCain is his war policy but other than that, as mentioned earlier, he has taken some respectable stances on issues despite forsaking political expediency (save torture ban, he voted against that one). McCain, in some cases, would rather go with his gut than with the grain. The problem with that being, Bush, if he gets away with such presidential recklessness and unaccoutability, has set a dangerous precedent for unabashed executive power. McCain could take that and run with it or he could restore constitutional relevance and accountability to the executive branch.
Will he do that? because some members (ex-members) of the current administration should be prosecuted!
