They use basically an over-glorified bbq gas canister and a specialized fitting to refill at the gas station.

Obama has said in the past that he wants oil prices to rise to force us off petroleum. He doesn't care that many of us heat our homes with oil and those prices go up the same as gasoline. Now since an election is upcoming he is acting like he is trying to bring prices down, don't believe it, if he gets re-elected he will absolutely revert to his previous stance. Hopefully he will be defeated.
I've done a 1 hour 30 minute Interwebz search and could not find any evidence of the President wanting oil prices to rise, but maybe I missed something. Have you got a link to a quote from him to that effect?

As to his defeat, if the Repubs had not started wars against women, First Responders, old people, students and children, they might have had a chance at the White House in 2012. But they don't.

Then big O can continue his tirade about follicle fuels and how we got to become energy independent and he can push his Green Agenda and waste more of our money on funding his projects that do not work.
A big point you are also forgetting about the increase barrel prices of oil is not only speculators but the Obama admin printing money out of nowhere which in-turns drives down the purchase power of the USD on the world markets. Back in 07 when gas prices were in the $4 range, the price of a barrel of oil went up to $144 per barrel..... now it's bouncing around $102-$104 with about the same price to us at the pumps. If we let Mr Obama get into office again IMO we are Doomed!
Now back to our regularly schedule program.....
sounds like the sauties would be cutting there own throat . 6 to 8 dollar gas no one will buy .. hum obama . bush , really do people really think they run this country ???
