Retail gas prices set new records Friday on their seemingly relentless march toward $3.50 a gallon, and diesel prices pushed further above $4 a gallon. Crude futures, meanwhile, surged to a new record of $117 a barrel.

The gas keeps going up everyday.

Getting outrageous! This has got to end -- I personally think that a bigger push for alternatives is needed: Wind, Water and Energy! Hurting everyone except those with their fingers in the pie of oil. :(

While we are paying at the pump($3.60 yesterday), our so called leaders (oil men) are fiddling in Washington. The biggest fiddler is probably off to Camp David right now. Thanks Terrah

It`s horriable that $3.60 sounds better than the $4.55 I pay. This is getting crazy. Talk about declaring war on the American citizens.

This is to inform you octane can never exceed five dollars a gallon. Florida is built on limestone, which when dissolved in water forms hydrogen and a weak acid, that can be converted to gasoline at a cost of five dollars a gallon.

We will never run out of energy. We easily have enough solar, wind, geothermal and tidal for all our needs. Even without that, we have about 84% free energy for vehicles if they were electric and charged with available electricity at night.

What else can we do? The NRDC has learned even when population decreases, consumption of fuel increases if communities are designed for vehicles and not other means of transportation.

Eating vegetarian/flexitarian makes a difference, which Care2 readers already know and the public is beginning to learn.

I have made the personal commitment to family planning.

the biggest hit is that the u.s. dollar is worth 70 cents.
$3.50 in 2002 bought $4.65 in goods. So that $3.50 in 2008 was worth $2.45 in 2002.
Or look at a dollar and cut off 30% or 30 cents. the is rock bottom figures. Many say the dollar has gone down 40% since Bush took (not won) office.
Yes, and OPEC keeps adding 3 to 5% a year to the base crude price for world inflation. add the dollar decline and yearly inflation and you get $100 per barrel.

Michelle, the $ is tanking against the EURO; Iran wants payment for oil in EUROs rather than $; this is what prompted Bu$h to invade Iraq, when Saddam Hussein wanted to switch from dollars to EUROs as payment for oil.

This is all the fault of Bu$h and his NeoCON$ ... and Cheney has moved all his money offshore ... that's how much faith he has in the U$ dollar.

RepubliCON$ stink; the first thing they do when they get into office is cut benefits for old people and children.

RepubliCON$ are fi$cally irre$pon$ible. Throw them all out of Congre$$ and the White Hou$e.

And, oh yes, don't put $hrillary Clinton in there, either, we don't need any more Clinton drama$ in the White Hou$e.
