Thought it Was a Joke at First

That we should consider gasoline prices right now as cheap, compared to how they may be in the next few months? I heard this on the news today. I thought ok $ 2.15 or so a gallon and this is cheap compared to what is to come? Does anyone not think we are getting ripped big time, by the oil countries and our own country? I mean first it's production is not able to keep up demand. A proven lie. Then it's our refineries can't keep up? Which seems to be a lie? So when will our country just say they oil countries have us by the gonads and we can't do nothing about it? Or won't do nothing about it?

Is it George Bush's fault or someone else fault. Who evers it is I think they sould consider the people around here and such that has to paid for their gas and doesn't get it free like the people that sets the prices.

Prices have really jumped up the last couple of days.
I never really thought about it. But was talking to an older man i work with. He still uses oil heat to offset his heat and for emergency back up. I know not to wise. But he already had everything in place to use the oil heat as a supply with his heat pump.
Guess what i am getting to, can you imagine what it will cost to heat a home that is all oil heat by this winter?
I know we have a lot of elderly in this area and most still use oil for it's higher heating temps. I just hope they can find help or some way to offset their cost.
I don't know how some of our elderly folks survive. Talk about some tough folks. Many of them survive on 600-800 dollars a month, you count in all they have to pay out, a tough generation.
And with driving season over it looks like the next money maker is gonna be an increase in fuel and home heating oil.
