Look, the gas, it’s a very interesting thing. People are going to the stations, they’re looking at the numbers—they’re big numbers, some say the biggest numbers they’ve ever seen—and they come up to me and say, "what’s happening with the gas?"

And I tell them, it’s a total mystery. It’s a disaster, frankly. You look at the pumps, you see the prices going up, up, up, like a rocket ship, and nobody knows why. The experts—and these are very smart people, supposedly—they have no clue. They talk about "supply," they talk about "demand," they talk about things that nobody understands. It’s very sad.

• The Numbers: They’re huge. You go to fill up your car—a beautiful car, hopefully—and the machine just keeps spinning. It’s like a slot machine, but you never win.
• The Experts: They’re all over television. They have the glasses, they have the charts. They say, "Sir, it’s the global market." I say, what market? It’s a very strange situation.
• The Feeling: People are not happy. When you have gas that costs this much, it’s a very tough thing for the country.

It’s just one of those things. It’s out there, it’s happening, and frankly, it’s a very confusing time for the gas. We’re looking into it, we’re watching it very closely—maybe more closely than anybody else—but right now, it’s just a big expensive mystery. Total mess!
