Nice recovery you got going, Dubya...

With the price of fuel, there will have to be car pools to the polls.

$1.65 today for regular. Thanks, Dubya.

Geez...it was a $1.62 in June, 2000. You're gonna whine about a three cent
increase in 4 years?

If you want to talk June 2000, the peak average week in June 2000
national average of all grades all formulations was the week of June 19,
2000 at $1.711. It's currently $1.681 and trending up. It was only
$1.509 mid December 2003.

But, what was it in February of 2000? It can hardly be called whining,
when you, like the rest of BushCo, spin like that! You just pick what
statistics you choose, huh? Just remember, that can be done in
reverse, too. Would you like an example?

Peak national average week in Feb 2000 for all grades all formulations
was $1.458 and trending up. First week in March 2000 was $1.539 and
peak week for March 2000 was $1.569.

Basically, it hasn't really changed much in the past 4 years especially
in inflation adjusted dollars and considering any increases in the state
taxes on gasoline.
