The whole gas situation is just gonna get worse!!! One of these people are gonna think it's a bright idea to put a ceiling on how high it can go and then supply will go down and thats when you gotta wait an hour in line just for gas, if people would just go one day without buying the price would go down drastically.

Problem is, the militants in Iraq are targeting the oil production and delivery infrastructure in Iraq.
On the topic of pump prices. I have noticed in Central Indiana, typically there is a 10cent difference between grades of gasoline. (87octane 1.78, 89 octane 1.88 and 93 octane 1.98) but now with the price of gas going up instead of jacking up the price of all grades, some gas stations are cutting into that spread. They have reduced the 10cent spread to 5cent. Now gas prices are 87octane 1.98, 89octane 2.03 and 93 octane 2.08. Instead of 1.98, 2.08 and 2.18.
Should the price of gasoline fluctuation so radically? That is one of the biggest problems around here. Prices are cheap in the morning and go up in the afternoon and evening.

There is a security premium on oil these days but the big problem is demand outstripping supply on a global scale. Domestic estimated reserves in places like Alaska only amount to 9 billion barrels. Iraq has 112 billion proven barrels.
As for nuking Iraq....what? Aren't there moral and ethical questions regarding mass murder to steal oil? However, because oil is a finite resource, it might very well come to that. Can't say I could blame Iran for developing nukes in light of that threat. Fair is fair and all is fair in love and war.

Probably never, unless you are willing to do without the services that gas tax revenue funds or find another way to fund those services.I say be happy you chose a fun car like a WRX that's fuel efficient. And think about the fools that bought H2's or Excursions that suck a lotta go-go juice. They must be crying when they fill up.My Z runs on premium. I paid $2.15 yesterday. I was surprised how much it cost to fill.
I think it sucks too. I have a friend that owns a gas station. They oil company has raised prices on him 4 times in 3 days.
