I spent about $55 for a full on Winston the other day...but I've already seen gas prices jump up about $.20 more...so its only going to get worse by Summer. I fully expect $6/gallon by next year

We also have petroleum and NG off the US coasts that we cannot drill for right now do to our eco-freak friends. We have new technologies today that can go for these supplies without harming any polar bears, manatees or fruit-eating rabbit bats.

Weekly Retail Premium Gasoline Prices comparison to other countries. We are at what Germany was in 1996 (for example), now they are at $8.75.

Or this could be why we are paying so much...

Notice the negative export numbers at the bottom. Despite record prices, less oil is getting to market.
