	Many analysts said the market would never support $100.00 a barrel oil prices. Well the American people have provide them wrong, so expect oil prices to reach $140.00 a barrel by the end of the year. Which means $5.00 a gallon at the pump. Come on people we need to converse and prove the analysts wrong. We can't handle $5.00 for gas.

	Sure it's continuing to rise. It's so annoying to pass people on the interstate who continue to drive 20+ mph over the speed limit and complain about the prices, or when I drive past McDonald's and see the drive thru line wrapped around the building. Get off your lazy tail and walk inside. You might actually burn off a few calories while doing so!
