Whaaa? Shocker, gas prices continue to rise

NEW YORK, Jan 10 (Reuters) - The average price of a gallon of gasoline in the United States rose 14 cents in the last three weeks to their highest level in more than a year, reversing a decline that began in November, an industry analyst said on Sunday.

"It's proof that we can have crude oil and gasoline price increases without demand increasing," Lundberg said. "It's almost like a penalty (for consumers), with the bad economy, with unemployment still going up and crude prices rising ... when the economy has not improved." More at Reuters:

Hey, I have an idea.  Let's keep blocking explorations and drilling.  While we're at it, let's keep adding regulations and taxes on transportation.  Let's keep allowing socialist idiots environmentalists standing in our courts so they can keep suing the oil companies.  That should work just fine.
