Default high gas prices on the way

do to the oil spill the oil and gas prices will sky rocket do to the spill. expect in some area's the price of gas will be 9.90 and a quart of oil will be 12 dallars to the quart. prime example if you live in the most popular area's you know what i am talking about. i came back from d.c. the captial. the gas price do to the spill is 8.90 for 1 gallon just for regular and a quart is already 10.50 a quart. sounds impossible its not look around how do we expect bp the high oil and gas maker will get its funds. from its oil they make mobil 1 straight down to the cheep stuff from wallmart. if you live in a major metro area expect really high prices if you live right out of the city it will get up there. i think it is messed up about the oil companies will be jacking up there prices do to the spill. remember the price of one gallon of gas of regular was a 1.10 and the price of high grade was 1.30 and that was back in 2001. look at it now the governemt failed us terrobly worng we should not be affraid of the government the government should be afraid of us saing wth

The weekend of the 23,24,25............. in Monroe, MI they were already charging $3/gal for gas.

The was for premium. But we all know what happens once they jack the "Good" stuff up over $3/gal. Shortly afterwards the cheap stuff is now $3/gal.

And ANY excuse is a good one to the people who forcast the price of gasoline.

Gas may not even be close that price in reality. They just forcast it like that.

3.09 for 93 octane is what I just paid over the weekend.

If gas prices start to skyrocket again, maybe I'll find the cheaper L67s and "not as good gas mileage" cars

A guy I know from attending the thursday evening cruises at Dairy Queen told me back in february he heard they intend to drive gas prices up around $3.25/gal for regular by summer.

Looks like he may not be too far off with this?
