Here in NJ 93 oct. is running mid $2.00's. Certainly better than the $3.85 I paid in the spring
The speculation association to oil kinda kills the supply and demand capitalism mentality. Why conserve if gas prices still go up?
Higher fuel costs effect so many things here in the US due to Freight cost, farming cost, ect.
Higher fuel costs do drive better fuel efficient cars and that's not such a bad thing
Problem with US fuel tax, government spends it on everything except what it's for - Maintaining the infrastructure. Currently the DOT is broke and can't fix what is broken

To the majority of consumers, If I have to drive 200 miles/week well I have to buy 200 miles of gas regardless of $$ and there aren't many alternatives

Well that's my 2 cents or .008 gals
Up from .0052 gal in the spring
