What show was this?

it was a local talk show. tom martino "the troubleshooter". i looked for the podcast, but all i could find was his explanation and not the guest he had on. self-promotion, i guess.

well if you believe ludacris is broke, then you're just as dumb as he is.

Your an idiot for believing that's what I am trying to imply.

Now they are saying that by the middle of summer we will be at $4.00 per gallon? WTF?

Thats called a scare tactic. you might as well try to forecast the weather for the end of the year. you can assume the price will be going up. But at what rate? Well, that depends.

The last time I heard this, gas was exactly where it's at right now. North of $3.00 per gallon.

bush has nothing to do with gas prices, other than not overturning bad policies that this useless administration didn't implement in the first place.

Please educate yourselves before spewing baseless comments. The price of gas has little to do with Bush and the War in Iraq.

Few competitors + Collusion from sources + Commodity + Inelastic good + Demand - Supply = Increasing prices

Here are a few article, which may point you in the correct direction:
