$3.53 and rising fast, up more than 20 cents in the last week.

Obama needs to start acting like a president. :)

I agree :hammer:
This is a station in Detroit (It's real... with much higher prices now): http://palinyoubetcha2012.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/image/obama%20gas.jpg
And in my area... $4.09 at the Marathon station, and $4.19 at a BP station across town! :rolleyes:

Someone is getting rich off this.  Don't give me that supply and demand "BS".  Remember the Gulf oil spill.  Gas prices remained the same and went down slightly.

Bryan is just making a general comment about the supply and demand argument as a whole, not anything you said.  There's a lot of speculation and corporate greed that drives oil prices, and digging new oil wells in the United States like Mike suggested above won't solve that problem.

Gasoline is $3.65 per gallon in my area.

But it will help somewhat. Nonetheless, the government needs to stop looking into unnecessary things like making new health laws or extending unemployment. Instead, look at how much WE are paying and how much more into debt this country is getting into. And in order for them to listen, we need to speak up.

$3.55 if you want to pay cash. Otherwise it's about $3.60-3.70 or so.
