O-o I filled up today with mid-grade (or plus depending on the station) for $4.13 today. Even $45 dollars to fill my Honda Civic.

It has very little to do with "oil terrorism" and a lot more to do with the futures market and our refinery capacity. We are more than capable of pumping enough oil to meet our own needs but it does you no good if you can't refine it. Besides then the government doesn't get an import/export "fee". :/

Just keep in mind that negative economic situations are fueled in part by market "negativity". Cheer up and hope Obama doesn't get elected. Things will eventually get better.
