tomok Champion Author Portland Posts:25,972 Points:1,979,460 Joined:Aug 2006	Message Posted: Feb 7, 2012 2:27:27 AM Ignore tomok Report Abuse Gas prices to spike 60 cents or more by May and there is NO justifiable reason for it, absolutely NONE. Big oil and refineries export fuel and natural gas to other countries for additional profits. US natural resources that belong to the citizens of this country and are to be used by those same citizens! Barry will support natural gas and oil production to pay for his ‘spending gone wild’ addiction. Speculators, manipulators and the banks continue to unfairly and unjustly make the driving public pay higher prices at the pump. The price of fuel at the pump is too high! 12/22/2012!
