It's just a side bar on the news, hardly reported at all. I can't believe our media doesn't report this.

I paid $5.00/gal in the late '80s in Germany. We are all in for a major lifestyle change.

Suddenly that house in the country is not such a good idea. :bcs:

All that means is I get to spend even more time in Japan this year than I did last year. Hybrids are going to be IN DEMAND. Job security, BroncoPhilly. 04-bow

According to the Wall Street Journal this is not a consumption issue, it's a refinery issue. There is currently 1 refinery in the U.S. that is shut down for retooling or something, and that has effected production, hence supply. They figured it would adjust when it is back online.

They also mentioned that there hasnt been a new refinery built in over a decade, pointing the finger at overzealous environmentalists.

Yeah that would make sense. I mean the environmentalists have much more to gain than say a gigantic oil company would in keeping a set level of production. Works for me. I also hear that the war in Iraq is going well, and that we need a constitutional amendment protecting marriage.

Drudge isn't really "media". It's just a site full of links to other media. A quick browse of his site today shows a list full of links to Reuters, MSNBC, NY Times, NY Post, Detroit Free Press, and so on.

It's entirely possible, then, that Drudge had a link to "legitimate media" about $4 gas.
