Gasoline prices could soon hit $4 a gallon, a threshold they haven't flirted with since last spring.
The average price paid by U.S. drivers for a gallon of regular now stands at $3.52, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, which released its latest figures this afternoon. That price represents an increase of 0.04 percent from a week ago and 0.38 percent from a year ago.
Experts expect prices to spike another 60 cents or more, with the $4 mark being touched—or exceeded—sometime this summer, probably by Memorial Day weekend, the peak of the summer driving season. The last time the U.S. saw $4 gasoline was back in the summer of 2008.

I have to work and I would like to finish college since I am in my jr year and where I live public transportation doesn't exist.
Plus never mind the fact I see my kids once a month and thats a 4 hour drive away.

Interesting to know that a dime from 1925 could purchase a gallon of gas then and if melted now, still can purchase a gallon of gas.
Just shows you that the problem is not the price of gasoline but the debasement of the currency that has led to gas being "so expensive"
If we allowed people to use gold and silver instead of government monopoly money .. gas would be 10 cents a gallon again.

I dont understand this whole thing. Why are these oil companies allowed to profit so much off of this? Oil hasn't gone up but speculation has driven the price of fuel at the pumps through the roof. How come my meaningless salary is being used to line the pockets of people who already have more money than they know what to do with when I can barely afford food, let alone education? As silly as it sounds, someone as simple as oil pushes us farther and farther away from having middle classes. Won't be long until its just the Upper class and the Welfare class.

How is the government preventing you from using gold and silver? Seems like purchasing gas is a private transaction between 2 individuals... sounds like you need to have a talk with your gas station instead of trying to get the govt involved in everything.
Stop using the govt to try and push your ideology on everyone else BT... the govt needs to stop growing.
