Holy Moly! WTF happened to Gasoline Prices???!

yeah...over here gas was like 1.069 (WTF is the 9/10 of a cent.....why dosent everybody round up the damn 1/10th of a cent) and then 2 days later its like $1.179
 
Personally, I don't think the economy is on the mend. I think that INFLATION might finally kick in. Printing lots and lots of money while lowering interest rates to 40 year lows will only increase debt overall. We're further cannibalizing our future.

I think the boom time of the nineties was fueled by people spending in excess of 100% of their income for years. That system cannot go on indefinitely. It will eventually be time to pay the piper.

No I'm not. I'm the angel of peace, tranquility, and well-shaped boobies.
 


<< And i'll just cruise along in my diesel, and not have to worry about skyrocketing gas prices. 😀😉 >>


What kind of diesel do you have?
 
I don't understand the problem. Gas has been between $1 and $1.50 for the last ten years. So what if it goes up 0.10, it's still cheap.
 
Yep, gas has gone up 14 cents here in the last week or so...now I will be spending $4 more per month to fill up my truck! How do these oil companies expect me to live!?!?! That $4 is going to finally put me over the edge...I'll have to declare bankruptcy! Damn it all to hell!

THATS just fine with me! I say jack up those gasoline prices to $2.00 or $3.00 !!

I drive a 4-banger (150hp), so I really dont giva-damn. And it will get those stupid a$$ SUVs off the road.

😉
 
FelixDeKat, I'm sick and tired of the "stupid SUV" remarks. Please bend over so I can drive my Jeep Cherokee up where the sun don't shine.

Occasionally, an SUV is all one would want to drive around here. Snow and slick and a bunch of other sh:t is a real pain that I wouldn't want to put up with in a say, Maxima. 😉 😀
 
Like Digobick said, it's spring break, that signals vacation/road trip time in the US.

The Oil companies and/or the gas stations are gouging again. It's a free market society, that's what companies do, they maximize profits.

You want it to go down? Dont drive as much, when the gas sales drop so will the prices.

I'm serious, I would really like to see your evidence that "The Oil companies and/or the gas stations are gouging again." Please be specific and include where you got your information.


U.S. Oil Prices Match 6-Month High
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. oil prices matched six-month highs Friday after the world's leading producers agreed to cap production until the end of June, raising concerns pump prices will jump.


Crude oil for April delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) settled down 5 cents at $24.51 a barrel. It traded as high as $24.75 a barrel, matching its highest level since Sept. 24.

Prices have gained 35 percent in the last two months and many brokers and traders see the bullish trend pushing the price of crude up to $26 a barrel and higher, levels not seen since before the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington.

OPEC oil ministers, meeting in Vienna Friday, said they agreed to keep production steady at 21.7 million barrels a day (bpd) for 10 members until the end of June.

OPEC President Rilwanu Lukman said at a news conference the cartel had between seven and eight million spare bpd in production capacity. He said 5 million bpd of that could be brought on quickly in the 75-million-bpd world market.

"The bulls really have a hold of this market," said broker Patrick Patten of United Energy in New York.

Production cuts this year by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), signs of a faster-than-expected U.S. economic recovery and fears Washington was preparing to extend its war on terrorism to OPEC-member Iraq have combined to propel prices higher, traders said.
