These days, the price of oil seems ever on the rise. A barrel of crude broke another barrier Wednesday -- $123 -- on international markets, and the talk is now of the sort of "superspike" in pricing (only yesterday unimaginable) that might break the $200 a barrel ceiling "within two years." And that would be without a full-scale American air assault on Iran, after which all bets would be off.
Considering that, in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, oil was still in the $20 a barrel price range, this is no small measure of what the Bush administration years have really accomplished.
All politicians have a hand in the price of fuel. Since the 1980's Ronald Reagan stopped the coal conversion to synthetic fuel program. No drilling for oil in Anwar, no drilling for oil in most of the gulf of mexico, no drilling for oil off the east and west coast of America. No drilling for oil in Florida. So they the politicians have made the USA more vulnerable to any disruptions in the supply line. Some future relief for the price at the pump. [1] Is large amounts of crude oil in the Falklands, [2] An oil pipe line to the US from Canada's oil sand's to the midwest. [3] large amounts of crude in the Dakotas.

It will cost $100.00 US to fill that pickup. And it will get 6 to 8 miles per gallon.
