1. Its bad news as most people think its going back to 2.50/Gal. But wont...

..."Peak oil" is here to stay and not a minute too soon, which is why Bush was out touting very expensive "hydrogen-powered cars" in California this week.

The good news is the Reptilpukelicans are going to get slaghtered in November when gas is still above 3.00 per gallon and people are taking it in the shorts !! :)
