Gas might be as high as $5.00 by the end of summer if oil stays at $125

Gas prices are high, and only going UP.
The economy is in the crapper.
We're still at war.
It's not a doomsday scenario, but we really can't do anything without feeling the pinch anymore. It's ridiculous and I'm hoping our new elected leader will take swift action.
At $5/gallon, we will see more of the gas/food tradeoff scenario. I think that's what scares me most.

I was trying to find a thread from not long ago...Z28X and a select few (me included) were saying gas would easily hit $4/gallon this summer. This was some 5-6 months ago. Back then gas was about $2.50-$2.75/gallon...everyone thought we were being alarmists and there was no way gas could jump that much

I'm kind of doubting we'll see $5 this summer. More often than not, gas peaks at Memorial Day and falls steadily after that. Some analysts predict that won't happen though, so who knows.

The oil companies will make up for it somehow.
Wanna' guess how?
Yup.

Hmmm, so some speculator/commodity trader type hired the captain from the Exxon Valdez to stir things up...I can see it.

ah who cares any more if it 5 buck i probably wont use the waverunner at all this summer. all this is doing is lowering the standard of living in the us.
if we dont hit 5 bucks this year its pretty much a sure thing next summer. an extra 1dollar in gas is like 10 bucks extra a week in gas for me in the cobalt so its not a bank breaker.
