Northern Connecticut - near the Massachusetts border (where gas is a bit cheaper):
$3.89 to $3.99 per gallon. Never forget that regular unleaded gas was $1.79 per gallon when Obama took office on January 20, 2009.

If anyone knows of more sources for this FACT, please let me know. I used to have other sources for this $1.79 figure, but "mysteriously" those sources/websites have been shut down or scrubbed.
Libs absolutely refuse to believe that gas was that low on 1/20/09. Most people I know - regardless of political ideology - have forgotten how low it was back then... today's gas prices are really shaking them up. Many of these people are associating the high gas prices with Obama. Hopefully they'll remember this in November.

Would be great if you are correct and people would remember, but I have no doubt ethanol will be the food source offered. It has to come off the cob, be brewed to be consumable in liberals way of thinking. Corn is a mainstay for food production and we are wasting it on ethanol which is undrinkable. Gee, another whiskey revolt maybe is in order. Would lower the price of steak.

Of course gas was cheap on 1/20/2009. The economy crashed at that time.

Gasoline is just the beginning. Next we’re going to get spikes in electrical rates. Then heating oil which, of course, the Dems will have a “new program” to add to the hundreds of “new programs” they’ve already implemented to “help seniors pay for heat in the winter in the Northeast”.
I would have thought their global warming would have stopped that by now! /s
And since we’re fracking for natural gas, that has to stop.
Damn Dems - AntiFrackers!!! I thought they were obsessed with genitals.

Gas Prices Set to Rise for Rest of 2012?That would be sweet! Actually, rising until Nov. 6th is quite enough, then they can go down.:)
