I think it would be better to give increase figures in percent per year.

From Jan 2001 to Jan 2007, gas rose at an annual rate of 7.7% per year. From Jan 2007 to July 2008 (assuming 18 months) the annual rate of growth is 44% per year. Not quite so dramatic a figure as 74%, but 5.75 times as fast as previously.

Americans are able to buy fuel at half the price of bottled water

What sort of fuel can be had for under $1/gallon?

From 2005....

Cow manure eyed as alternate fuel source

Manure was the first thing I thought of, but doesn't sound like cow chips are gonna do it.

The store right up the street gets $1.29 for a 16 oz. bottle. Across town, the gas station gets $1.79 for the same bottle. Nobody complains about it either.

President Bush needs to start issuing some late night Executive Orders. Clinton did to our disadvantage, why not issue them for our advantage. The only way drilling is going to start happening is if he by-passes those idiots at Capital Hill and does it himself!

"Today, the New Direction Congress will vote on legislation to bring down gas prices by taking crucial steps to curb excessive speculation in the energy futures market. The President himself could lower prices by drawing down a small portion of our government oil stockpile, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve."

Nancy Pelosi is insane.

That's the only explanation. Aside from terminal stupidity.
