The price of gasoline

With all the protests and political upheaval in the mid-east now, the latest news is that Bahrain is in turmoil.  Saudi Arabia is expected to be next.  The price of gasoline has already risen to $3 in the DFW area, and $3.50 national average.  The price is expected to surge even higher by end month.  Plus the additional 5-10 cent cost of the petrol companies switching over to the "summer blend".  I would not be surprised to see regular unleaded at $3.75 here in DFW by end of March.  (They are saying more like $4 nationally)   I dont know if it will be as bad as summer of 2008, but we'll see.
