I'd like to make a prediction: (put this on the record)
Gas prices will climb through the roof untill sept-oct. Then IMMEDIATLY before the elcetion Bush will make some 'huge presidential decree" to lower gas prices back to $1.30/gallon and everyone will be happy. If this exact event doesn't happen that means that Osama will surface and be captured immediatly before the election. It will happen like clockwork. MARK THESE WORDS.
just FYI, there is an underground salt mine in texas that holds the US wartime reserve of oil in the event that we are cut off from the rest of the world. I don't remember the exact number of barrells underground, but if only 10% of these barrells were released to the world market (ONLY 10%!!) the worldwide gas prices would fall below $1/gallon. This was on Discovery a year or so ago. We don't release the oil because it'll crush small countries economies....I think we should just release it into the US and canada. If we do that then gas prices could be back below $0.50/gallon and the economy would BOOM with travel. But leave it to the Bush adminstration to wait and torture everyone to spin it in their favor later on.
