You are being gouged at $3.20/gallon? How so?

a few short years ago before Obabba, it was $1.69.

It was also over $4/gallon under Bush at one time too. What is your point?

This also seemed coordinated with a release of processed petroleum products by the IEA in Europe. Both seem pointless. It seems to me like it would be better to get the US govt out of the strategic reserves entirely.

Why are you listening to NPR? Better be careful. The other tea baggers just might start calling you a -gasp- "socialist".

No, not Sept 2008. Like I said, about 2 months starting June 2008. About 3 months before Ike.
