GALLUP NEWS SERVICE

PRINCETON, NJ -- The latest Gallup panel survey finds the public
bracing for continued rising gas prices this summer. A majority of poll
respondents expect gas prices to reach the $4.00 per gallon level in
their local area this summer, though only a small minority expects it
to reach the $5.00 mark. Roughly two in three Americans say they have
already been affected financially in some meaningful way by the high
gas prices. The public most often mentions oil company greed as the
reason for the high gas prices, though it also mentions other more
practical reasons such as problems with refineries.


They'll mention whatever the talking heads tell them to mention as
reasons. Remember "increased demand in China"? That's the reason I heard
for the latest run-up. Same thing last year. But, when the price dropped
last year, nobody said "decreased demand in China". I don't listen any
more. The only info I'd believe would come from Rex Tillerson, who was
being waterboarded in return for real details about the pricing scheme.
All other explanations thus far are an insult to our intelligence.



The "problems with refineries" reason is a tad too predictable. There's
no reason to doubt "refinery" and big oil greed, though.



Eisboch will happen along shortly to give us the truth. :-)


Naw. You can't handle "the truth".
Here's a suggestion though ...
