How does gas at $4 and higher impact you?

...you...you mean these little white pills won't turn into gasoline after I add water? I've been living in a fool's paradise!

I just filled up my '76 LeMans during lunch. $2.899 for 93 octane at the local Shell. Around this time last year, I paid $4.299. That was painful too, because I took this car to the GM show in Carlisle last year, so it saw more use than normal. Lucky for me it's pretty fuel efficient....16-17 mpg out on the highway!
 
Looking at my records, I see I paid around $3.219 for hi-test around this time back in 2007. And in 2006, $3.059. So this is actually the cheapest summer for fuel since 2005, which was the year I bought the car. Around this time in 2005, I paid $2.359.

"...gasoline prices to "free fall"..."
 
I guess that means George Soros has to dock those tankers sometime.
 
There hasn't been the outcry this summer like last but I'm seeing signs of continued manipulation in energy. When the storage facilities are bursting with product but the prices spike 20 cents in a week, something stinks.
 
Have you noticed that last year Congress was all set to "investigate" energy speculation and now, not a peep. They must have got some nice "contributions" over the winter.
 
Meanwhile, guys like Soros who made a billion speculating on oil last year gives 35 million to NYS welfare kids and is proclaimed a hero.
