All the increases we see at the pump are attributable to the cost of crude.

The infrastructure is in place now, and for the time being they're going to continue using it.

That may be representative of the fact that we are going to release some of that oil.

That is going to influence production a bit.

It may be time for people to get serious about fuel efficiency and think what your next car is going to be because I don't think you're going to see really cheap gasoline anytime soon.

As we continue to use more gasoline in California, that margin of error gets tighter each year.

As long as we're seeing a tight oil market, prices will stay high and may even go higher. I don't think we're ever going to see gasoline under $2 the way things are right now.

Some parts of the country are experiencing tight supplies because of unusually heavy refinery maintenance schedules. Until crude oil prices drop substantially, Americans won't see a big decline at the pump.

Predicting what is going to happen in the next month is difficult. Prices probably will go up just because troubles in the Gulf (of Mexico) have driven up prices worldwide.

It cuts into production a bit so they have to import more and that is expensive gasoline.
