Of course the prices are going to go up again. We got a break when everybody was screaming about the economy tanking. But,we've had a few months to adjust and summer is here. This is the usual time to raise oil prices. The greedy bastards know this and it's all part of their "recovery plan". Look for another big spike in the fall, as people start to buy their heating oil for the upcoming winter.
Other prices haven't come down. So, it still costs the same for the "rich" to live the extravagant life styles they've become accustomed to. Think about it. Every wealthy person has a sizable chunk of oil stock in their portfolio. It drives the world and those that play in it.
i.e. "my xyz corp. stock isn't doing so well (they make construction supplies), but people are still driving and need to fuel various things in their lives, and most things manufactured today are derived from crude oil. So, my oil stocks will fund the operation of my leisure activities."

Geez! How long will that tank of gas last in the H2, Danielle?
Gas in Vegas went down .10 but I still paid around $26.00 to fill up. Depends which car I drive. My wife's car requires 87 octane while my car requires 93 or 91 octane.
