This is not really surprising given the Iranian saber rattling. I wonder what sort of lip service this issue will receive from our glorious leader? Will he actually do something (unlikely,) or will he double down with rhetoric surrounding his EV fantasies?

Why stop at $4 Big Oil -- nobody's going to do anything to you. It's free market capitalism at it's finest. Just keep those contributions coming.

I hope they are wrong, and they could be since GasBuddy was wrong the last two times it sent out notices saying prices will increase in my area within the next 24 hours, and they did not, or they took 72 hours or longer to increase. .

@joseyski

You might want to take a look a Greece's near default (as a country) to be followed on shortly by Portugal, Spain, Ireland, France isn't lookin too pretty either. China and India's economies slowing with 0 growth possibilities in '12...

We'll be lucky if there isn't a worldwide recession by the end of '12.
(rest of the world coming on fast, all right) doh!

And yet there is a news posting that oil will go DOWN to under $80.

Even my dog could predict oil prices when no one can agree on where they are going!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another reason to stay home. Add that to drunks on the road, and lots of traffic. It all adds up to: we will stay home, and get our bikes out.

So... by the end of the year? The only thing that's sure is the prices will keep increasing and the only question is by how much and how fast.
