1. Yeah..
There reasoning is demand is up.

No shit? lol

But my argument, is the gas you're filling up with, was bought a long time ago, and what does paying more, have a damn thing to do with demand?

5. The prediction is by summer gas prices will be so high that $2.50 a gallon
will look like a bargain. Its already $2.54 in my area for 87 grade gas, plus the insurence companies are talking about raising their preminums again. It's an all out war to destroy the workering class and the poor. After all, the elitists want to be the only ones left on the road.

10. Up to $2.45 near Detroit.
I paid $2.09 less than two weeks ago. Big Oil is trying to make as much money as they can before we take over Congress and start overseeing big business in general. They're all in a money grabbing panic right now.

14. Production is down...
because this is the time of year the refineries perform their annual maintenance routines (at which time it's just not possible to maintain higher production levels). Nothing sinister about it.
