Gas Prices Expected To Continuously Increase Through Summer

[SunnySide]

That's strange--there was a story on our local radio station today saying not to worry, "experts say" gas prices have peaked and should be going down soon!

[Bad Hand]

They aren't going down here only but then this is what that POS in the White House wants.

[BigFootsCousin]

I'm just happy that there's STILL gas available for me to purchase......

I suspect that gas prices might.....just might, maybe hold steady or perhaps decline just
a tiny bit over the next few months.....in anticipation of the chosen ones reannointing.

Once our Muslim in Chief has secured the prize he and his minions will cease the machinations
they employ to hide bad news from the gullible electorate. Once that happens the brakes are
off and they will work like yeoman to bring about Energy Secretary Chu's dream of gas prices in
America equaling or exceeding Europes prices.

If gasoline in Europe cost the equivelent of $3.50 per liter in U.S. currency and, as there are 3.8 liters per U.S. gallon, that is $13.30 per gallon, in U.S. dollars.

Count your blessings as, you will soon be experiencing something close to the $13.30 per gallon that the europeans are feeling.

What will you be doing when gasoline is $13.00 plus and Diesel is $20.00, here in the good ole U.S of A.?

cost me 130 $ to fill up my gmc, last night, not happy here one bit.

I am sure that Obummer will do his best to lower or at least level off the price of gas through the election. Even the moron and chief understands that the higher the cost of gas the lower his chances of reelection. Now if he manages to win in Nov we will look back kindly on the good ole days of 3.50/4.00 gas

This is the wrong comparison. TAX is over half their problem. Literally.

Gardening, mending fences, and maintaining a secure perimeter.

There won't be anywhere to go if gas prices rise to that level, especially in a relatively short time. Any remaining small businesses, "the backbone of America's economy" will dry up and blow away. Food stores will have few items, and what they do have will cost so much that no one could afford them. Most of this nation will be at the mercy of the federal government for handouts and medical care. And who is to say that the feds, made up of people, wouldn't also collapse under its own weight, greed, and individual self interest?

The U.S. is simply too big, too spread out, to be able to survive high gas prices like they have in Europe. Violence would flare, anarchy would prevail.

I paid 30.00 for half a tank the other day....I feel for people who have to commute to work, school etc.... I'm grateful live in a neighborhood where stores, errands are nearby...
