The Rising Price of Gasoline.

Gasoline prices hit a record mark on June 8, as the national average reached $4 a gallon for the first time. The national average for regular unleaded rose 1.7 cents to $4.005. This surpassed the previous record of $3.989 set earlier in the week. What is the deal with the rising prices of gasoline?

George W. Bush's war. That is why the gas is so high.

Actually the price of gasoline in the United States as compared to other highly industrialized countries of the world is markedly inexpensive. England, France, and Germany all pay $7-$9 per gallon for gasoline. If people choose to live beyond their means then there are consequences with which the individual must reconcile.

I may also add to the comment above that this is not George W. Bush's war. This is America's war. When Bill Clinton was bombing Serbia in the late 90s no one said "This is Bill Clinton's War".
