What is going on with the gas prices?!??!?

So oil is at more than $65 a barrel?!? Experts are saying that the prices will continue to march upward toward $80 a barrel. Not good! My guess is that at $80 a barrel the gas at the pump here in Chicago for Regular will hit approximately $4 a gallon! That means it will cost about $60 for me to fill up my gas tank. So much for driving!

The big problem is that the higher oil prices affect EVERYTHING... cost to manufacture and ship goods, air travel, public transportation, heating and cooling costs. Expect the higher oil prices to dull the economy in the fourth quarter.

I wish Bush would put some pressure on his Saudi friends right about now to get the prices back in line. Come on folks, write in and call your representatives to act! Journalists, start making noise for all our sakes.
