Gas prices remaining pretty constant?

[2Xtreme21]

Seems like the oil companies have found the sweet spot-- that is, the price that they can still make record profits from and the general public won't b*tch at. Granted, I'm only speaking specifically about my area (Pittsburgh, PA), and my apologies if this doesn't apply elsewhere. I just haven't heard as much media coverage about it as there was a little bit ago.

Anyone else noticing the same thing?

Was steadily dropping in Lexington, KY to $2.53 a gallon (reg. unleaded) on Sunday. Jumped $0.42 on Monday afternoon to $2.95 per gallon. No reason given. Back to $2.87 today.

Well I just filled up my tank here in Houston at a local Shell yesterday and the gas price was at $3.01 for regular.

Rose 15 cents to 2.79 on Monday.

I have also noticed the price of oil has stabilized in the low to mid 70s. Amazing how that works isnt it?

 

[EagleKeeper]

Last week jumped $0.15 and then has started sliding back $0.05-$0.07. The jump compensated for the overall slide over the previous month.

Yeah it's amazing how it's a whole $1.00-$1.25 more than it should be.

And how do you determine what the "should be" price is?

In his fantasyland where he gets to set the prices.

Eh same way Republicans are determining what marriage "should be."

:thumbsup: 😎

$4 is step in right direction and a ton more record profits for the Oil Barons everyone loves so much.

You can bitch and moan but end of the day, still gotta gas up to get to where you need to be. About the only thing you can do to retaliate is not to buy but that's not an option.

 

[daniel49]
