I didn't mean that the rise in prices is soley, or even mostly due to inflation. There is the matter of instability/Iran stuff in ME. But there is little that can be done about that. The Fed inflation is a self-inflicted wound, though. I really doubt that speculation is a big factor. I focused on inflation because it will affect everything, not just gas.
