gas prices.. up again

[Mayfriday0529]

they were going down and now going up, like 20 cents lately.

Whats going on... Is it because winter?

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

yeah, ours here are up about 16 cents this week

holding at around 2.20 here.

edit: of course the media is going to be all over this, causing every person to go out and fill up before prices go up, which will make prices go up even further. idiots..

We had that also, now going back into the 2.50

 

Gas prices here seem to be within 10 cents of the lowest they've hit for a while.

I was wondering how long it would take for another gas thread.

Ours went up about 15 cents over the last couple of weeks but back down 2 cents in the last few days. It isn't like it is a huge deal guys.

It is holiday travel season. They will go back down mid/late January.

Answer to the OP: Bush is still our president, so they will not go down anytime soon.

Will they hurry up w/ the drilling at the Alaska WLR? And what's taking them so long on taking over Iraq and all of its oil reserves. I want my cheap gas damn it.

Gas prices have nothing to do with President Bush, if you believe so then one thing you don't have to worry about going up is your IQ.

Only they've been going down the past several weeks. Did we have an interim president in the meantime?

According to my Economics professon in College, drilling and finding new oil would not help us reduce gas price (maybe in the long run years and years later), it would only make gas companies richer.

Why? because we don't have enough oil productions plans to handle the require demand, so even if had the oil they would still produce at the same rate.

There also isn't much oil there!
