I paid $4.559/gal for 91 in So Cal last night.  That was $.20 more than a week ago.

Might be cheaper to get a horse...

Might be cheaper, but it would turn my weekly commute time from 3.5 hours to about 22 hours.

The current price of gas in my town is $3.89/gallon.

A side note on the price of gas when O'Bongo took office...it was artificially low because of the worldwide economic downturn...a supply and demand issue. The demand was down because of the worldwide recession at its peak and therefore the supply was huge, driving the price way down. A few months before BO took office the price was in the mid to low $2/gallon range...mid to low $3 range a few months before that. And, I do remember the phenomenon of posting stickers on gas pumps in the months leading up to the 2008 election protesting the high price of gasoline...they were directed at Senate Majority Leader Reid, Speaker of the House Pelosi and Senator Obama. Here is a picture of one of those gas pump stickers:


Here's another:


Here is a link to Doug Ross @Journal from July 2008 with printable copies of the gas pump stickers. So yeah, the price was high in the year leading up to the economic "crisis" of late 2008/early 2009.

And the price of gas was only below $2 for a short period of time in early 2009. So...setting the record straight.

This does not, however, take anything away from how high the price is today. It's ridiculously high because of BO's policies. That is indisputable. It's fair to say that Democrat policies are always bad for gasoline prices. Remember the Carter years and gas lines.

  Up to 3.65.9 in a couple of days. The radio was saying that gas prices were down statewide as I was looking at the sign with a .10 cent price hike on it.

Pretty much everybody in my neck of the woods is price fixing at 3.839.  Costco at $3.59p, a full 20c cheaper than the next closest station and 24c cheaper than most.  The biggest spread I've seen since I joined a few months ago.

Small town price (usually more expensive than the city) today - $3.45.
So much for Zero and his V  QE3 graph.

QE has sputtered, which concerns me, these Neo-Keynesian fools might just goose it more than they already are.  If we've reached diminishing returns on Kabuki it only means the zipper is about to rip.  Poor Romney could have the mother-of-all-nightmares on his hands right out then chute.

Imagine all the lame duck will do via EO to make it really tough on the new guy.

Then Romney better get his own EO-signing hand in shape.
