Gas prices in Southwest Florida raise to new high as oil pushes near $120
As you can tell gas prices have sky rocketed lately (what else is new?). I think whoever is causing this just wants a new car or what not. I don’t think they actually HAVE to change the prices, they just want to do it to get more money in there pocket. I guess people don’t realize that Bush just needs a little extra cash in his pocket before he gets out of office. Below is a list of the lowest seen gas prices in Southwest Florida, in the past 2 days. Good luck finding these prices around still.

Quote from Herald Tribune:
“Gas prices in Southwest Florida pushed to another record high during the weekend, ringing in at $3.656 on Monday as oil made another record move.
Prices in the Bradenton-Sarasota-Venice market were about 23 percent higher than this time last year.
Premium gas in the local market was selling for $4.034 while diesel was $4.222, slightly down from a record set on Sunday.
Oil prices hit an all-time high near $120 a barrel Monday after a weekend refinery strike closed a pipeline system that delivers a third of Britain’s North Sea oil to refineries in the U.K.
The shutdown comes amid supply outages in Nigeria that have helped to support oil against a strengthening dollar.
“We’ve got a confluence of a number of events that have really disrupted crude oil supply,” said Victor Shum, an energy analyst with Purvin & Gertz in Singapore. “That’s what’s driving oil to a new record even though the U.S. dollar actually strengthened a bit.”
Light, sweet crude for June delivery rose to a record $119.93 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract eased back to $119.04 a barrel by afternoon in Europe, up 52 cents from Friday’s close of $118.52.”
