That, according to Gallup.

I remember a time when if gas prices jumped, it was all George Bush's fault. Whom do we blame now?

Maybe George Zimmerman.

Full circle.

There is this thing called "news"....

The recent price increases can be attributed mainly to higher global crude prices that have been creeping up because of the unrest in Egypt, brief export failures in Libya and Iraq and disruptions of Nigeria’s oil pipelines. Egypt is not a major oil producer, but instability there raises fears of a possible blockage of the Suez Canal, a major thoroughfare for oil exports and spreading unrest in the region.

West Texas Intermediate, the main American benchmark, has been rising for more than a week, partly because higher demand among summer vacationers has caused a sudden large drop in American inventories. Many experts say they believe that the American benchmark price, which has been depressed relative to global benchmarks in recent years, could remain somewhat higher for a while because new pipelines and railroad lines are gradually relieving bottlenecks for oil produced and stored in the Midwest.

In storage and delivery centers like Cushing, Okla., for example, excess inventories of landlocked oil that could not be easily transported made the oil cheap. But now that supplies are moving around the country more regularly, wholesale and retail prices are rising...

Morsi in Egypt, ...in fact you name it..it has gone wrong for the democrat.

Mr. Zam,

In what world is a 7% increase, "up slightly"? I wish my stock prices were up slightly in that world.

In Gallup's world, presumably.

So then I guess it wasn't Bush's fault after all.

That will make some of his haters upset.

Well, besides that it isn't much of a fact...There are better ways to reduce oil dependency than to drill baby drill. The right generally attempts to block any of the ways, such as better fuel efficiency standards. That said, the US is drilling like mad.

The better path of discussion on the subject is realizing that resources are precious and exhaustible, so it makes sense to use and exhaust other nation's resources prior to using and exhausting ours. We should continue the development of alternatives as well. Solar and wind can supply the household needs of most people, that has been proven.

I want to move forward and see the nation adapt to best use policies. Oils of all types are always going to be a component of the economy, but profligate waste of precious resources is flat out dumb.
