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 ...

I don't see "waterboard technician" there. What a useless article.
