The Oil Patch Boys want $4 gasoline
And it looks like they are going to get it. In CNNMoney yesterday there was an article with these quotes.
Gasoline prices, already above $3 a gallon in some states, could charge higher this summer and hit $4 a gallon in some locations, according to one industry expert.Well, today, on cue, there was this on the CNN website.
AND
Five states - California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington and Nevada - already have average prices above $3 a gallon, according to the motorist organization AAA. In California, the average price of gas has reached $3.35 a gallon.
Kilduff said it will be in those states, and possibly New England and the northern Midwest, where prices have the best chance of hitting $4 a gallon, mostly as a result of localized refinery problems.
Flames and smoke poured into the sky Saturday over an oil refinery where lightning set off a fire and an explosion that was felt miles away, authorities said.Now I will admit that even I don't think the Oil Patch Boys can call down the lightning, but this is the second time in 2 years that this refinery has had a fire. But even though it is just a pair of storage tanks, we can all expect a jump of at least 10 and more likely 20 cents a gallon next week. $4 is this years Holy Grail.
Flames and smoke boiled hundreds of feet into the air from two 80,000-gallon tanks in the Wynnewood Refinery complex, officials said.

Until Americans stand up and send an incredibly loud message to their Republican and Democratic Senators and Reps against these Cheney-gas-gougers, and the kind of predatory price actions that all corporations have been enabled and emboldened to take in every place the Bush gangsters have issued a license for them to act freely, Americans deserve the pain.
I know that those who voted against Republicans across the board do not deserve the pain, but at least they can console themselves with the knowledge that they are not responsible.
But I know so many who did not vote, that were able to vote, and many who voted Republican who deserve the pain of their actions. If they don't like the pain, they can communicate to their representatives today, and vote differently the next time around.
In the meantime, tough s***.
