Have you noticed how little the Media has been covering the High Gas Prices and How it was the Lead Story when the Prices Rose when Bush was Pres.?

Just as sure as the Homeless miraculously disappear when a Democrat is in the White House and then the Homeless become a crisis within days of a Republican taking office.

Gas prices are highest ever for this time of year

News from The Associated Press 2-19-12 By CHRIS KAHN

NEW YORK (AP) -- Gasoline prices have never been higher this time of the year.

At $3.53 a gallon, prices are already up 25 cents since Jan. 1. And experts say they could reach a record $4.25 a gallon by late April.

"You're going to see a lot more staycations this year," says Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research. "When the price gets anywhere near $4, you really see people react."

Already, W. Howard Coudle, a retired machinist from Crestwood, Mo., has seen his monthly gasoline bill rise to $80 from about $60 in December. The closest service station is selling regular for $3.39 per gallon, the highest he's ever seen.

"I guess we're going to have to drive less, consolidate all our errands into one trip," Coudle says. "It's just oppressive."
