A prediction

Gas will hit $4 per gallon on May 22. Plan accordingly.

UPDATE: And gas will hit it’s lowest price on November 3. People who think gas prices are driven exclusively by magical “market forces” outside of the control of any individual or group, and not manipulated for political and, ultimately, financial gain, are kidding themselves. I guess they think it’s a coincidence that prices peak just ahead of holidays and drop right before elections.

Maybe the solution to the problem of rising fuel prices is to hold elections every month, so the oil industry can be constantly propping up weak-ass, unelectable Republican candidates.
