gas price prediction for the summer and further?

[civic94]

I have been thinking of getting a 4 banger midsize car, since im getting tired of my little geo prizm. Just want something more comfortable, bigger, newer, without breaking the bank in FE.

If gas prices goes up to 4 a gallon i would kick myself since i traded a small geo prizm for a bigger car that drinks more gas.

i was looking at a 02+ camry, 03+ accord, toyota matirx, and possibly a 02+ crv if its the right price. my budget is under 5500.

so what are your predictions? its about 2.80 in seattle now, and its winter. most of the time i do see gas prices go up in summer
