Gas prices on the rise

Gasoline prices jumped 12 percent in October and employers who depend on workers on the road say the increase is salt in their economic wounds.

Well you can thank the speculators on Wall Street for the rise of prices. Every time the price of a barrel (42 gal) goes up, the Oil companies raise the gallon price, on OIL we wont receive for at least six months. but yet when the price of a barrel goes down on Wall street, how come the gas price doesn't drop as fast as it went up.

And Obama has done a flip flop on drilling for our own, now he is against it.

If we buy our oil from OPEC, why do we sell the oil we drill for here, on the foreign market.

You mean you didn't know that.
