  • 5 bucks a gallon for gas? Expert sees it in 2006

    Source
    If you think all this flirting with $3-a-gallon gas is already a pain in the pocketbook, brace yourself.

    Oil expert Craig Smith predicts gas prices will skyrocket next year, jumping to five bucks a gallon.

    And if terrorists successfully strike a major Middle East oil field, Americans might end up paying $10 a gallon -- about $110 to fill a Ford Focus' 11-gallon tank.

    Solly, Cholly. The Courts have already turned down additional drilling for oil off the US coast (California, Louisiana, Florida) due to environmental hazards, and the Congress is not likely to want to mess with drilling in Alaska, as much as the White House wants it to happen.

    However, if you want really cheap gas, you could consider moving to Iraq, where gas is going for a nickle a gallon...if you can get it.
