I just paid more than $4 bucks a gallon for the first time!

Returning my rent a car here in Denver, I stopped in the gas station to fill up. I paid $4.04.9 for 85 octane gas. First time I have cracked the $4 dollar barrier. I am so excited I can cry. Oil went over $133 a barrel today and I saw an analyst report that it could go as high as $200 a barrel. It seems that when George W became President I remember oil in the 20 to 30 dollar range. There really doesn't seem to be a shortage of oil, supply meets demand. So WTF? Why are prices going up daily like this? I used to think it was due to fears that another war in the Persian Gulf would break out, but I think it is beyond that now. I really feel like the markets are being manipulated and it is time for intervention.

If this does not give us as a country the will to do something about our dependence on oil, I don't know what will. Lets see a bold call to action like putting a man on the moon for this country to rally around with a goal of developing alternate energy and soon!
