What Happened to Gas Prices?

I hadn't watched the network news in a few days but gas prices went up about 15 cents in two days. I don't recall a hurricane or any other natural disaster. The refineries should have completed their changeover to summer blends. What happened?

The Bush family needed to increase their profits from big oil so the would be able to buy the Cheney's something really nice for Christmas.

Angry $80 oil lurks

Check out this article from CNNMoney.com for your answers...
Sounds like 'BS' to me.
I just heard a couple of weeks ago that gas had peaked for the summer!

Well its obvious to me. The polarized ethanlol gas on Mercury exploded causing a solar flare and endangering all of the fossil life on earth . So to cut down on the use of the fossils the Big Oil Companies raised the prices hoping to put a damper on use of Gas. Too bad they missed the big explosion

I ran out of gas. I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts...........Or someone needed to make more profit.

Good return Captain but lets face it , it was a joke I pay for the gas now and will continue to do so as it is required for me to earn money. Just wanted to add some off-line humor to this as we alll know it will not change no matter what we say or do
