Pondering the Imponderable -- 2:52 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

OK, riddle me this, Batman. How can gas prices go from $1.54 in January to $2.00 in May? Somebody's making a truckload of money. And spare me the "in (name of some small swarthy country) gas goes for $179 per thimbleful." It's still too expensive. Maybe this will help eliminate the "tiny little woman with the massive SUV" epidemic that's been sweeping the country.

J.t.Qbe comments: No, I think that the "stupid drivers thinking they're invincible in SUVs" effect will end that epidemic. And good riddance. They should make SUVs drive on different roads.

Anyway, the "official explanation" for gas prices is that refineries shut down for a while to "prepare for the summer driving season", and so prices go up from March to May. I hope that they're right and that prices do go down again soon.
