A few things about gasoline
Prices hiked for 36 days in a row
National average now at $3.78/gallon
US Oil Consumption
18.6 million barrels/day
Same as in 1996
Even though population is higher and there are more vehicles on the road
20 states have an average above the national average
CA/HI/NY have prices above $4.00/gallon
HI= $4.35
CA=$4.22
NY=$4.01
DC=$4.00
CT=$3.99
Household income
8% of vehicle gasoline
Each rise of 1 cents in gas = $1 BILLION/year
Price rise since Obama in office
UP 105%
$1.84/ gall= 20JAN2009
$3.78/gall= NOW
Wow ... What an eye opener!
