I hope prices of fuel go to 10 dollars per gallon:

And tax reform laws that were proposed in 2007 will tank the economy and lead to wide spread lay offs.

Sure but make sure theres some sort of infrastructer to move along Natural Gas or Electric Cars.

If not the the $10 a gallon gas would turn this country into Medeville times of surfs and landowners.

If the trouble in Libya doesn't resolve itself soon and oil prices keep spiraling upward expect to see gas prices moving up. Saudi Arabia will work to manage the oil prices but speculators will still have fun with the chaos.

You are THE King of Havoc.

Chinese have singed exclusive oil deals with the likes of Venezuela, Nigeria etc. Locke din low price, while we have to go to the market and get it. Obamites says Canadian oil is dirty. I call treason ON the EPA and the environazis for putting us in a National Security pickle. The Armed Forces runs on Diesel and refined fuels. SO does your food harvesting and delivery equipment.

$3.44 for 87 yesterday. And the Gov wants to jack gas tax. Love CT....not really.

Russia and China have a pipeline deal. I bet they will sell us oil at a reasonable price...cuz they are our friends.

Obama issued one drill permit for the gulf...314 days after BP deal.

He said gas would necessarily have to be $5 a gallon. I heard it with my own 2 eyes.

More wind mill parts for my gas tank please.
