When the government prints money faster that the economy grows, it's worth less. *shrug*

As you posted a while back domestic producers are shutting down to get the price up.
Just a year ago you would not admit that speculation had anything to do with the price of oil.

He's said in the past that $4 was a good price, he just didn't want it to happen so fast that folks would notice.

Gas prices rise for 48th day as oil sells off

By MARK WILLIAMS
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Gas prices rose Monday for the 48th straight day, matching a record going back to at least the 1970s, with prices now up nearly two-thirds since the beginning of the year even as demand from motorists remains weak.

But money flowing into energy markets continues to confound experts. Even as oil prices fell, natural gas prices surged more than 8 percent.
~
Other than the fact that natural gas prices had fallen so far, there seemed little reason to buy it. The latest index of manufacturing in New York indicated that demand weakened yet again. Manufacturers, major users of natural gas, have slashed thousands of jobs.

Folks are investing in oil and gas hoping to hedge against the Obama hyper-inflation.

If you knew the price of gas is going up on Friday wouldn't you fill your tank on Thursday? There's nothing wrong with speculation.
