I agree. Gas hit around these same prices and even higher a couple years ago. This isn't anything new. Neither is gas prices going up in spring/early summer and dropping back down in late summer/early fall. That's the standard undulating cycle of supply and demand over the last i don't even know how many decades.

If you look at the increases in the cost of education, food, housing, etc., and the gas increases in other countries, gas perhaps should legitimately be around $5 bucks a gallon. Perhaps the U.S. has used artifical/ geopolitical means to keep gas prices down and we running our of tricks and influence. With the emerging Asian demand for oil, the day has come when gas is going to be higher and there is nothing we can do about it.
