Or maybe the oil is just getting more expensive to extract? Maybe we've passed the production peak? Maybe I'm just spewing radical propoganda?

I live a little bit north of you in Long Beach,and gas is now down to about $2.15 average. That's still bad, though. these are summer prices in spring. Normally, it's $1.75/gallon at this time of year

If it goes higher, there's probably going to be a riot, and guess who's going to start it? [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

1 gallon = 3.79 litres, so you're only paying 53 cents US per litre, which is only 76 cents AUS.

Oh *****, *****, *****! I paid 95 cents per litre last night, which is realtively cheap! We're going to be paying $AUS1.10 per litre soon, which is like paying $USD2.91 a gallon!
