The problem is OPEC, they got fat while everyone was starving trying to act like $4.00 gas was the norm, and loved it even more when it was damn near $5...
Shit fell out from under them and gas was a third what it had been just like 3-4 weeks earlier and they began their scramble to get them back up, cutting production and all. Fact remains that gas prices are going to go back up for that very reason, I knew it wouldn't last.
I don't mind paying a fair amount for gas, I started driving in 95, gas was like $0.89/gallon. 5 years later, it was about $1.25(?), an increase of a hair over $0.07/year, $2.00/gallon now feels fair. Okay, adjust for changes in the general value of shit and inflation, tack on another dime... $2.11 is right on time, but won't last.
... someone will blame Obama though
