    well ya know gas prices are high when you are hypermiling in your Pri and still gaining on the pickup in front of you

    BUT...

    its not because he is hypermiling, its because he was denied his gas loan

    Last summer, I was thinking about doing a photo essay - it was going to be photos of Hummers, Tahoes and Expeditions for sale with gas price signs interspersed. I haven't seen as many big vehicles for sale yet this year. Its like a frog in a heated pot - they haven't caught on yet.

    With a very severe global recession, I doubt we'll see the sort of spike that happened last summer. OTOH if inflation kicks in, all bets are off

    Heard on the radio this morning that AZ has the lowest gas prices in the nation. San Francisco had the highest.

    it's kinda leveled off at 2.99-3.00 in the socal area.

    once it goes above 3 bucks for regular, i expect easy increases to 3.50.

    IIRC, the gas prices climb each spring/summer until there is a call for Congressional investigation, then it levels off and declines slowly for the rest of the year. Last year was an anomaly. Anyone heard any rumors about Congress investigating?
