I filled up again yesterday... and for the second time this month... it took $100.00. Under Bush, this same truck took $35-$40.00 to fill it up.

Under Bush, the price of oil quadrupled and the price of gasolone increased proportionally. Gasoline price varies on where you live.
When Bush entered office the price of oil was $25/bbl and my local price of gas was $1.36/gal.
Those prices rose gradually until, on Sept 16, 2008, my price of gas was $3.95/gal. Under Bush
Then the economy/oil/gas prices collapsed and on Dec 2, 2008 I paid $1.63/ gal. By Jan 31, 2009 I paid $1.76
So since then the price has gradually increased and on June 19, 2012 I paid $3.27/gal. That is a little cheaper than it was during the summer driving season of 2011 when it was $3.88.
I still have fond memories of 1998 when the price of oil collapsed to $13/bbl and gasoline was 65 cents per gallon
Always seems to be “speculators” that drive up the price. So who drives the price back down? “Anti-Speculators”?
