No, monopolization and deregulation have got on the fast track since '94, so it isn't just Bush, and it isn't just the Republicans.

$2.68 is a bargain to European ears......

here in dear old Blighty, the price has just *fallen* to around 87p/litre...

(4.8 litres per gallon = £4.18 /gall = $7.9)

Not quite as bad as that I'm afraid JayMcGee.

You've quoted UK Gallons. The US Gallon is quite considerably smaller at just 3.8 litres.

Still a valid point, worth raising a second time.

The faster it goes down, the higher it'll bounce on the rebound.

Yesterday morning, I spent $34 to pretty much fill up my tank (12 gal and change at $2.899). By yesterday afternoon, many stations were creeping up to $3. I won't have to fill up again until Thursday, but I see a $37 or $38 fillup. The most I've ever spent was last summer--$39 and change.
