1. that's 25 cents overnight

I paid 2.95 yesterday evening. These false shortages created by shutting down refineries has got to be stopped.

3. Yeah, it's just like those Enron traders artificially limited the power

in California to drive up the price.

5. The rest of the story is the fall of the dollar

That's driving up the cost per barrel of foreign oil.

Kiss those $1.25 gas prices goodbye forever.

My guess is that it'll stay just under $4.00 around Memorial Day and for a few weeks after that, then break that barrier sometime during the summer.

2. Right on time for the holiday. And what will it be by the 4th of

July? Probably high enough that you'll need a second mortgage for a tankfull.

Well, there's no election coming up so what the hell do they care, it's time for the oil companies and the bush** family to make a killing.
