Washington (CNSNews.com) - In testimony Thursday before the House Natural Resources Committee, Richard Newell, the administrator of the U.S. Energy Information Administration, told congressmen that gas prices will likely stay well above average for the remainder of the year. “EIA expects continued tightening of world oil markets over the next two years, particularly in light of recent events in North Africa and the Middle East the world’s largest oil producing region,” said Newell. “Our latest forecast, issued earlier this month, predicts that regular gasoline at the retail pump will average $3.70 per gallon this summer and $3.56 cents per gallon through the entire year which is about $.77 higher than last years levels.” As of March 14, the national average price for a gallon of regular gas was $3.56 per gallon. However in some parts of the country the price for gallon has already risen well above $4.00.

Is obama going to say anything before he goes on vacation to Rio and the bush family ranch? "The US is now being run by an oligarchy, with lip service being paid to the electorate in allowing the people to vote for the candidates that the parties and the powers will put forward."
WTF is the "average"?
"Mayor Richard Daley acknowledged today passengers on a flight from Tokyo had set off radiation detectors at O’Hare International Airport, but he offered no details and said federal officials will be handling the situation."
