Oh sure Matty, cite some liberal rag like the Wall Street Journal.
Interesting stuff. I've read elsewhere that speculators are driving the price up by $25-$50 p/b. I hadn't read that they're driving the price up by 60%. If they're right, Congress acts, and gas goes back to $2 p/g the economy would get a big boost.
