So, it's almost $4.00 a gallon for premium here in Seatown now. All because of Libya? Not really. 35% of the increase is due to tensions in the mid east, the rest is greed and oil companies taking advantage of the situation. I'm tired of our nation's vulnerability to these situations.

Drilling our own oil here is not the solution. We need to do something as a nation to regulate the bidding/pricing process better while at the same time keeping a steady supply. We're gonna be F-ed one day if we keep our current plans and policies in effect.

Oh, and so much for that economic recovery. The chain reaction to gas prices has already begun.
