3. In my town
It is now $3.52 for gas, and $4.10 for diesel! In Jan. it was 3.29 for gas, and 3.59 for diesel.

Last month I read a report that oil supplies were at a 14 year record high. Then a few weeks later they say supplies are down. Today they are up again. Investors keep buying oil and stockpiling it. Bush keeps pumping it into the into the national reserves while trying to get the oil countries to pump more. Seems to me that the problem here is "GREED"! A select few are maying millions off of the pain we all feel at the gas pumps. Once again Bush helps out his rich buddies at the expence of the people!

Where is congress on this problem?

5. unfortunately, their solution is to get Iran's oil too
And make sure Iran and Iraq's oil is locked down in the ground under a bloody war for years to come.

:grr:
