Gasoline Prices

[GROUCHO MARX]

Gasoline prices are slowly creeping northbound. Even though the world's economies have not recovered fully and are growing slowly at best, what's your guess on the price of regular unleaded by Memorial Day Weekend?

I'm guessing it will be over 2.85 on the national average.

 

[Herz]

its already 2.99-3.10 here

 

[GROUCHO MARX]

Yeah, Kaleeforneeya is always high. Most places in NY are around 2.85 - 2.95 with NJ 30 cents cheaper.

 

[HTSS_TR]

No stations around my home is less than $3.10 for regular and it's even more expensive down in San Diego, about 20-30 cents more.

Easy over $3 a gallon.

A year ago gas was .87 cents cheaper. Wait till gas is back around $3.50 to over $4 a gallon and see what happens...

And if other laws are in place, we all will be happy to pay ONLY $4 a gallon for fuel. It will be closer to $7 according to Harvard researchers and others.

Hold on...

Bouncing around $2.60 here, but trending up. Those that bought unneeded gas guzzlers in the last year or 2 may regret it.

I'm guessing 3.15-3.25 for the national average. I say lets run it back up to 4.00 and be down with it. Because it'll back up there again.

Can't you guy's see, that things are getting better !(aleast thats what everyone in washington & wallstreet keep shouting)

 

[dime]

gas will steadily increase in price as our economy gets better,i expect to see $4/gal once we're close to "normal" again.

 

[crinkles]

price has been 1.269 per liter here for the last two months... hasn't moved anywhere, which makes me think the real price should be much lower and they're keepingt he price at the pump up. it has always been more volatile so i call [censored].

 

[crazycrak]

about 2.71 for reg. around VA

 

[NJC]

I put $45 @ $1.13L tonight

. = equivalent $4.27 USG without the exchange rate. I'm spending about $2,400/yr on fuel to drive about 15k miles. Where are the fuel cells! Lithium battery electric vehicles! Plug-in hybrid! Natural gas! Hay-powered scooter! BWAAAAA.

Carry on.

 

[Turk]

High gas prices are bunk.

WHY would they go "much higher"? Sure demand will go up and the price will go up some....

BUT "way" up? That is foul! It ain't costing them that much more to get it to us!!

 

[ToyotaNSaturn]

Can't find the link off hand...a guy wrote an article recently showing how energy prices would be the first thing to noticeably go up due to the devaluation of the US dollar.

And this is only the beginning of the pain.

 

[Shannow]

Stupid thing is that Oz $ has gone way high with current US oil prices, and still our fuel costs have stayed "stable"

It's like a high lift 4WD jack down here...only heads one way, regardless of the ratchets that are sold to us.

 

[xxch4osxx]

It is $1.01 a liter here as of last night.

 

[Bluestream]

Gas prices have only one way to go and that's higher. More cars are now sold per year in China than in the US. That is the answer, its supply and demand in it's most basic form.

When buying a new car, think forward about 10 years. I would not buy anything based on what you pay for gas today.

 

[bradepb]

$ 2.69 here in Michigan, I expect $3.00+ as soon as the summer formula comes in.
Hang on to your hat once the economy picks up a little mpore.

*If* $4 gallon fuel is "normal" then we are in MAJOR trouble for the US Dollar and our survival.

It will be curtains for us for the most part.

I really feel sorry for our Kids and Grand Kids. They did nothing for this lack of future.

If it was that simple. The major problem is someone is causing the price to be higher by getting in the way of providing the supply.

And then taking off the top excess amounts of undeserved $$.

The price of gasoline, here in Austin, Texas, has gone up to 2.699/gallon and seems to be rising, while the price of a barrel of the benchmark: West Texas Intermediate has declined. Go figure. Not sure what the average is here in Austin. I am basing the price upon observing the prices charged by the gas stations on the highway/road that I travel everyday. I so dislike 10% Ethanol. Lousy gas mileage....period...Price per gallon is so out of control, in my opinion, China included as they add more cars on the road, and belch out carbon emissions from their factories.
