The weird part is the last time it got to $4/gallon oil was $140/barrel. Something doesn’t pass the smell test here....

There’s NO WAY it’s over $5 in Orlando. That’s a misprint. It’s only $3.50 here in Tampa.

In the United States, how much pain at the pump drivers feel may depend on three factors: location, location, and location. In Orlando, Fla., two gas stations that are the closest to the airport, and across the street from each other, are selling regular at $5.29 and $5.19 a gallon.

That is such crap. The article is such a ridiculous distortion of the truth. Every gas station in America has higher gas prices at the airports. Perhaps had they put the average in Florida and not make it so dramatic that would have been more interesting. They use Orlando on the high side but use the entire state of Mass for 4.00? FREEPERS should be upset by this story of distortions.

The Democrats are always the ones who insist that gas prices in the US are much too low and that we “need” $5-6 a gallon gasoline. Well, we’re going to find out.

These stations near the airport have been ripping people off for years. High prices here are the norm.

They prey on unsuspecting rental car users that suddenly remember they're supposed to return the cars with a full tank.

I would say that the 2 stations at the Orlando airport are price gouging people returning to the rental car lots.

Last time gasoline hit the price we see here, Oil was over $150 per barrel.

What does that mean? Gouging?

Lest we forget - our president has publicly stated that he is IN FAVOR of $4+ gasoline. After all, his brothers in the faith grow much fatter and richer (and support their terrorist minions) all the better.

Remember last time prices got this high? The press + useful idiots all over pointed fingers at GW Bush.

So where are the fingers pointing now? How come Obammy isn’t taking dramatic heat? He has done more to cause these high prices than Bush ever did. At least Bush eased some regs and talked about opening up more opportunities for exploration and production (which immediately drove down prices).

Well, he did promise us European level gas prices.

Only $3.00/gal more to go.

All I know is that while pumping gas this morning, I half expected to hear some Barry White and be offered champagne first.

Nice...

I wish these greedy AHs would raise it to $6.50 and bring the country to complete halt...Put the lid on it and just let it boil...
