Shouldn't we just start a gas thread?
If anyone paid attention, you would know that with oil company strikes, a major oil company in Russia running into trouble with the government, the lack of enough refineries in America, plus the Hurricanes shutting down some for a time.
Then the war, and risk of Terrorism (the last item worth about $15 a barrel) then you understand what is actually keeping oil so high. But it is dropping, too slowly, but it is dropping.
Oh yeah, the China effect. Their growing economy of 1 billion people is creating a humongous demand for oil.
So don?t expect $1 a gallon gas again.
