Well, here in refinery central, gas is ~$2.80ish a gallon today. I just hope it stays down till next week when I have to fill up again. The price of gas will go up, and it'll stay up overall no matter how much yo-yoing it does. It'd be nice to fill up my tank for 1 hour's work again (back in high school with $.80/gal) but I don't think that's going to happen any time soon.

The price of oil is due to a combination of lots of things including the speculation, OPEC production monkeying, and standard supply/demand. The best thing would be to get off fossil fuel all-together; but that's still a ways to come.
