I heard the news say if the problem in Syria doesn't settle down, we could see $10/gal this summer. I highly doubt that, but they could be saying this to prepare us so a $6/gal price tag won't be so shocking or upset us, which obviously won't work. Sadly, we truly are addicted to oil and the people in the right position can charge whatever we are willing to pay and it only increases the big oil companies bank account. I'm one of the worst. I like my internal combustion, high performance engines so I'm definitely not helping the situation in that regard. ⛽

It does kinda **** me off that oil companies know how bad our economy is yet they make record profits but thats the way companies are supposed to operate. $$,$$$,$$$,$$$.$$

It's all a sick game. And the morons in the EPA and the libs are responsible for why we pay more than about a $1 a gallon. We have more oil in the western states than the entire middle east put together, and these idiots wont let anyone drill for it. When will people rise up and do whatever it takes to get this stuff out of the ground and in use? It's beyond stupid.
