The other night, Kelly and I watched the movie Sideways. While it was an okay movie, I remember one particular scene where the characters drove past a California gas station. The price for a gallon of gas was $1.81. Whoa! Can you say ‘dated?’
Gas is now $2.58 per gallon at the cheap places in Raleigh. A picture in today’s paper shows gas at a California station at $3.15. A little while ago I wrote about peak oil. Perhaps its closer than I thought?
Take a minute to participate in my gas price poll on the right of the page.
Should I be more worried by “peak oil” or “peek aboo”?
Filled the van up with petrol today … $2.85 a gallon … spent half a days pay in the couple minutes it took to fill the tank … I blame Bush!!!

I blame the oil buyers, bidding up the price of a barrel every time they hear a news report about trouble in Iraq. If this trouble doesn’t affect oil production, then there is no reason to raise the price. We do not have a shortage of oil – we have a surplus of greed. The government should intervene to stop this price gouging.
