Yeah, but gasoline prices and natural gas prices are not being influenced by the same factors.

Gas prices are high because oil prices high. Oil prices are high because of terrorists attacks in Venezuela (#8 oil producer, #1 for oil that is turned into gasoline) and the crazy bastard in Iran. Additionally the greenies that forced the ban on MTBE through with no grace period fucked us.

Something like 75% or more of our natural gas needs come from domestic sources. Unfortunately those domestic sources are vulnerable to hurricanes and they’re predicting another busy hurricane season for the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. Then dumbasses push for the CNG powered Civic (which we’re getting in NYS) which only adds more to the demand for natural gas.
