WASHINGTON - "Wait, what did you just say? You're predicting $4 a gallon gasoline?" a surprised President George W. Bush said yesterday when a reporter mentioned what energy analysts are saying could happen soon in many parts of the country.

"That's interesting," Bush said, "I hadn't heard that ... I know it's high now."

The prospect of sharply higher fuel prices, including $4 gasoline in some areas, may not have made it into the Oval Office briefing books, but even before the current surge, energy experts were predicting that the average price would soon reach $3.75 per gallon nationwide and top $4 a gallon in more expensive states.
