If people would stop talking about prices going up and the news media would stop blathering about prices going up, speculators would stop driving prices up. The more people fear rising prices, the more prices rise. There's no doubt that there's some uncertainty coming out of the Middle East, but most of the increase in price of oil futures falls squarely on the shoulders of speculators trying to make a buck. You'd think they'd have learned their lesson after 2008.

I remember wanting to go buy a couple 50 gallon drums and fill them with B100 at $5/gal and my dad told me not to waste my time. Everybody was convinced we were screwed and fuel was going to go $10/gal, European style. Maybe we'd hit peak oil. Blah blah blah. Couple months later fuel was under $3/gal.
