The graph below plots average U.S. gasoline prices, adjusted for inflation, over the last decade. This is now the fourth time we've been near the $4 threshold. It first happened in June 2008, again in May 2011, and again in April of this year. In fact, on each of those previous 3 occasions the average U.S. retail price of gasoline was higher than it is today.

APOCALYPSEFUCK is Shostakovich says

Wait till it hits $40 a gallon. Exxon will just buy the US and declare us slaves and entertain the execs with helicopter hunting trips over survivor enclaves. Look at 'em run!

Always the optimist.

When Exxon buys the U.S., they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skins into their clothing -- and if we're very, very lucky, they'll do it in that order.
