Jeff Rubin and his like are irresponsible and I believe guilty of manipulating the market. One comment predicting the price of gas and crude oil sets a new record. To borrow a famous quote, just because we have free speech doesn't give them the right "to yell fire in a crowded theatre."

Politically speaking Green is the new Red! we have been held hostage by the green crowd so long that it now threatens our entire economy!

I think the price per gallon will hit 7.00 in less than a year. The Bush Admin just will not open the Alaskin pipe line. We have enough in reserve to supple our needs,This in turn will put a surplus on the world oil market and send a message to OPEC. But why would a Texas Oilman want to do this. He is making alot of money off the American people. I guess this is Bushs last change to screw the middle and lower income people. PS Thanks Bush.

If gas hits $7.00 per gallon how does the gas industry expect for family's to pay for a mortgage, gas money, groceries, insurance, utility bills and food for their families. It will be simply impossible.

Time to start drilling in Alaska or make it more affordable for people to “Go Green”

I think gas will hit $7/gal long before 2012. As for the Prius - as commented here: great if one can afford one. But hybrids are just a dead end I think. Why? I think we've got to stop being enamored with the internal combustion engine. Yes, the hybrids have great power, but even a hybrid needs gasoline. Now there's a car about to be mass produced in India this summer that runs on compressed air. It gives off no emissions at all, therefore. It's been in development in 1991 and is now ready for the road. Top speed: over 100 mph and it can travel over 100 miles before it needs a recharge. IF they could be sold here they'd go for about $6,000.00. Check it out, here's the website: http://www.theaircar.com/acf/index.html Of course the question is would Big Oil and the Big 3 automakers let them be sold here. It sure would solve a lot problems if they did.

I feel that $7 a gallon is on the low side, I mean the facts are out there, look how fast India and China continue to industrialize and use more fuel, oils. Both countries alone are surpassing our demand for oil, and with so many people in Washington here fighting and preventing us from drilling for more of our own oil. I think we should be prepared for $10-15 dollar a gallon of gas.

I, along with alot of other truck drivers, believe that you the media is not helping this problem.Reporting all of these insane predictions.Then it is just like you give these blood sucking oil companies a new goal to shoot for.I think you should be promoting that we the people are sick and tired of this.Instead of promoting this sickening act of robbery. Now everyone else is starting to feel the pain. We independent truck drivers have been shelling out half of our wages every week for fuel.Take the average person and tell them to give half their wages for gas a week and see their reacion. Without trucks, America STOPS!!! We are about broke.Something has to be done now.

This is why down here in Houston I have started selling DIY Plug-in conversion Kits that lets Prius owners get over 100mpg. I have been driving a 100mpg Plug-in Prius for the past year here in Houston and I use just 4kwh, just 60 cents, of Clean Domestic Wind Energy to offset the amount of Dirty Foreign Oil I have to buy. As more people commute using electricity, the less oil we will need in the U.S. The amount of electricity Plug-in cars use is so minuscule we will not need to add any power generation to our national grid for decades. If most U.S. commuters could drive to work all week using no gas, we would have much cleaner air to breathe. $4.00 gas is crazy and $7.00 gas unthinkable.
