Actually the original poster was the one who said "as soon as the sumer holidays are over it'll drop back down!..." I was commenting on the logical inconsistency within his own statement.
Seasonal variation can affect demand/supply/price. There are many other factors which can amplify, mitigate or overwhelm such trends.

So using your logic mmproteus, shouldn't prices go back down at the end of summer when demand DECREASES?

"...during the peak driving season, prices will soar, but as soon as the sumer holidays are over it'll drop back down!... Everyone knows oil companies artificially inflate prices during summer."
This guy thinks that price increases during peak demand are artificial. Oil companies (like all companies) charge what the market will bear. When demand goes up, more people are willing to pay higher prices. This is natural not artificial. Let's all work together to verify the logical consistency of our posts. Thanks in advance!

Pinch doesn't seem to express it adequately, more like squeeze.

This article sounds like the writer thinks $3.52 a gallon is just fine. What a sap!!

"kingdick is wrong on chrysler."
I have owned many cars over the years and have NEVER had a problem with any of the Plymouths, Dodges or Chrysler or even the DeSota I still have.
For a while I used to repair car to make extra money, One of the most common request in the 80's was replacing honda engines with used ones. The demand for used engines got to the point that the cost was too high I could not make any money so I stopped working on honda's.
I have a toyota land cruiser I did not get much use out of.
It is setting in my garage because I can not afford the trans repairs.
It got to 69785 miles before the trans quit.
I doubt I would ever buy another toyota. I did like to drive it before it quit.

I am hoping they prices don't get too much higher by the time I go on vacation (in fact I hope they get lower) since I drive to where I'm going.
I am even thinking about putting a hydrogen booster in my cars to help save money.

"2.99 gas card if you buy a chrysler, dodge, or jeep!!! The money you save on WILL be spent for parts and repairs. NO THANKS"
UNTRUE no repairs !!!
I have had JEEPS since my first a 1946 thru now a 2006.
The only problem I ever had was when an idiot in a buick drove past parked cars cutting across the parking stalls and rammed the drivers side.
