Oil prices up 20% in 2 weeks? Price at pump up 10% in my area
I filled up this a.m. (Carrboro, NC) and was astonished to see the price of gas up $.23 from what I had paid just about 2 weeks ago.

Pundits/analysts are saying that Bush's war posturing with Iran is responsible
for the rise in gas prices.

What price changes are DU'ers seeing in their neighborhoods?

5. $1.99 lowest to $2.19 lowest in my part of NM
That's what happened last fall when Stupid started waving his dick at Iran, gas prices went way up. Then Saudi opened the tap around election time, hoping to rein Iran in by threatening their economy with low oil revenue.

I guess it wasn't enough. Stupid is at it again.
