Average retail gasoline prices have more than doubled under President Obama, according to government statistics, rising from $1.84 per gallon to $3.85 per gallon.
The average gasoline price is calculated by the Energy Information Agency, and shows that over the past 43 months of President Obama’s term retail gasoline prices have more than doubled, rising from an average of $1.84 per gallon to $3.85 per gallon.
Rising gasoline prices were particularly prevalent in August, which saw a 9.0 percent rise in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for gasoline, a rise that almost entirely accounts for the general increase in prices seen by families across the country over the past month.
In other words, the recent spike in prices for all goods – tracked by the government’s Consumer Price Index – can be almost entirely accounted for by the rise in gasoline prices. Prices in the economy rose by 0.6 percent overall in August.

I am paying $4.22 in Cali.
Hard to figure out what’s been going on here, halfway between Cleveland and Akron! 4 days ago, it was $4 a gallon. Yesterday, $3.85, and today $3.65. Fairly large swing, in a short time!
I’m pretty sure these skyrocketing gas prices are what is giving Barry his big “bump” in the recent “polls”. The morons living in this country love paying high gas prices because, Everybody Loves Barry.

CNN:Why gas prices may have peaked
"All of the bad things we were really worried about don't look like they will happen," said Kevin Lindemer, an independent energy consultant that has worked for Irving Oil and Cambridge Energy Research Associates. "If we have an uneventful summer, there's nothing fundamental that should cause prices to go much higher."
Someone needs to dig out the Al Gore speech from 1992.
“Everything that should be down, is up. Everything that should be up, is down.”
And the stock market has skyrocketed through all of this. I don't get this at all.
Circumstances being what they are it would seem the price could be poised to go further through the roof here shortly.
Every time I fill up, and spend an extra $20 doing so, I console myself by considering it a campaign contribution to beat Obama. Believe me, people are aware of it..

The last week in October 2008 gas at my local station had dropped down to $1.55 9/10.
We filled the cars and all the gas cans we could find.
It was still only around $1.80 when King Obama was coronated.
