Reader comments:

Think about it -- Katrina oilfield catastrophe, pipeline break/shutdown in Alaska, undeclared war in Iraq, conflict ongoing in Middle East -- all used as reasons for continued rising fuel prices. But election looming in Nov, those in power extremely worried, those in power tightly connected to OIL, WAR, MILITARISM -- just a guess it may be tied to politics/ greed/power. Only a guess, though.
