Man, this whole thing is ridiculous! And my car runs PREMIUM yet besides. Yes,I have tried using regular and I loose 2 mpg on it. Plus power/smoothness, so that really isnt an option for me.

I paid $3.78 at Marathon tonight. It has been the same price around here for the last 4 or 5 days now, $3.75 to $3.78 for regular 87.

I think the people in charge of gas and oil prices have been waiting until a certain public official has his press conference tomorrow, then they can and most certainly will use anything and everything that the public official says to instantly start jacking prices up even further.

I just read an article saying the official knows he has to watch what he says so as not to cause a mass panic among the suits and fat cats. I think tomorrow will be the beginning of a bloodbath as far as oil and gas prices are concerned, no matter what the public official says or how he says it. I hope and pray I am wrong.

I bet gas goes over $5.00 a gallon nationwide before Labor Day.

Yep, I hope you are wrong, but from this point forward $4 + gas will be the norm for the USA.
 
I got 'excited' when I filled up for $1.299/L last night. It was one of only 2 stations I saw that was below $1.30; everywhere else was $1.32-$1.33.

Small victories, I guess!

Man, thats just plain unacceptable!

...and probably 'just plain' inevitable for the rest of us:

Tornados Shut Down Seven Refineries


And only a FOOL will believe that tornadoes will have something to do with another spike in oil!! First it's Libya now it's tornadoes? [censored]!
 
Well, unfortunately those 'fools' have been using the weather-related outages to boost prices:

Quote:
"What you have now is the last of the spring maintenance season for refineries combining with Mother Nature wreaking havoc. The good news is that the seven refineries were mostly just power outages and not real damage, so they were back online pretty quickly, but the damage to prices had been done," said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst for the Oil Price Information Service.
