More High Gas Prices Blues!

  Every since Congress nixed the port deal with UAE's Dubai Ports World, the gas prices at the pump seem to be on the rise. I am not trying to spin a conspiracy theory however it is ironic. Just when Americans were getting used to paying $2.20 at the pump, you can now pay $2.54 for regular unleaded gasoline.

 The price of gas is one more thing the average American needs to consider when planning their budget. It is taking away from retirement saving and entertainment that could be spent in retail stores or at the movies. There goes some of future dreams of that plasma television.

 We can expect more record sales from gasoline companies if the current prices stand stable or rise further. At least we know some companies will prosper while the average one of us cries the high gas price blues. I guess this is the way it is going to be for the remainder of time.
