$3 bucks min. Its not going to get better unlike what many people thought when they voted for Obama in 08.
Also I wouldn't worry too much because I am almost sure that in 2010 both house of congress will be on the other side, then if the next congress plays the same game as this congress did with Bush, Obama will be out. And so I say this because Obama is adding taxes and fees left and right for daily necessary living and I think thats one problem. Hmm...I wonder how he will be able to pay for that huge budget? The other is inflation due to China buying all the debt. I wonder how many dollars can fit into the 2000 dollar (inflation was also Bushes fault cause he had to pay for the war)? The third is environmentalists (another direct link to Obama). Environmentalist do not want more drilling i.e. anwar, colo. shale (partially due to high price of drilling in this area), and finally the bakken resevoir in montana and that general area (estimated 500 billion barrels of oil with 4 billion that is technically recoverable for use.) All of these reservoirs have each enough oil to power the U.S. for 10 to 50 years at current increase in population and demand (I say current increase not in the sense that we are in a depression, but rather how we would be doing if there was no depression) Getting back to the environmentalists...they do not want drilling due "harm to the environments of the regions" and of the damage to the environment when the oil is finally consumed. Due to advances in retaining oil, horizontal drilling is now a reality with minimal research left for practical use (in the big picture). Therefore due to horizontal drilling only a square mile or so of land is needed for drilling plus the pipelines that are needed for use can be placed underground. Another factor, many of the studies conducted regarding the environmental changes all have a margin of error because environmentalist researchers have had no actual way to measure the temperature before the turn of the 20th century. So they essentially have had no way to study the past without a margin of error that could be great. So essentially they are saying that the moose in Alaska can not give up one square mile and that fossil fuels can not be used based on data that is flawed. Given that said...environmentalists in my opinion are some of the dumbest people on Earth because of this. Now I would be willing to continue to pay the 50 cents on every gallon of gas (implemented by Bush for e85 and biodiesel) if research is switched over to an alternative fuel that is more practical in terms of exhaust (to keep the environmentalists happy) and price (to keep every sane person happy- not environmentalists) and manufacturing capabilities (if you can't mass produce something this big for an economy than its not feasible) i.e. hydrogen. So this is all linked to Obama. I wonder what you all think on this as I am just an inexperienced 18 yr. old?
If any factual info. is wrong tell me i.e. the 50 cent thing and such.

steven p couldn't be right, for example we had a group of environment friendly people get together and decide it would be a good idea to go down to a local car lot in the middle of the night and set like i think it was 10 SUV's if i remember right on fire. WTF. if i can remember correctly i beleive it was a bunch of hummers h2's and some tahoes or suburbans. They're reason for burning the vehicles was so that they couldn't polute the air. But scientists studies showed that by burning the vehicles they had actually created more polution than the vehicles would have if they were driven evreyday for the NEXT 60 YEARS. Talk about about a bunch of hypocrites they say they're all for the environment but pull **** like this. they put 60 years of polution per vehicle into the air in one night IMO some of these people are bigger contributers to polution than the people that own the vehicles.

Considering 2 months ago i was paying $2.20-2.30 for premium, and its now $2.90-3.00. I bet we will see right around $4.00. I think they know thats most peoples freak out point. Weve gotten used to $3.00... $3.50. At around $4 everyone starts screaming and talk about other fuels comes up, so they back the price down a little.
