We DID Crash the $4 Barrier

Yesterday, regular prices of gas were $4.10 in Spring Grove, Richmond (both Illinois) and Lake Geneva, Wi. It was $4.10 and across the street $4.06 in Twin Lakes, Wi. We saw it at its highest, $4.15 at Rock Corner at Il-173 and Wilmot Road.

The Big Oil GREs finally got their $4 which they've been shooting for for so long. Hope they choke on it.

However, since there is no longer any law of supply and demand, I expect prices to go down from here since we are officially in the summer driving season. Public outcry will cause them to back off the rest of the summer. And, by election day, everyone will have forgotten what they've done for and to us.

I'm predicting $3.90 by the end of June, and close to $3 by election day. They WILL come up with reasons for it to come down. Just like their "reasons" for raising it.

Hey, don't tell me an Indian or Chinaman earning a buck an hour can afford to buy a car and keep it going.
