thats about how much it cost in norcal...man i saw it go up 20cents in one day!
 
Depends on if we have any major refinery problems. Typically demand goes up in the summer, but supply goes up as well because refineries are switching from heating oil to gas. Really it will go up though because OPEC is cutting production and George Bush is popping off about filling the SPR. You probably have to use low sulfur gas in LA, so that is about 2-3 cents extra a gallon right there. Goddamn OPEC. We need to get that Iraqi oil flowing...
 
I think the plan is to have gas prices back down for election time....I mean, how better to win an election than to show everyone how good the economy is with low gas prices? The SPR will be opened back up in september. Just you wait. 🙂

Why is 91 the max? Thought most of the US had 93. Is it state law?

Some emissions thing, something like they oxygenate the gas to reduce emissions, but it lowers octane also. CA being the smog nazi state and all.

Kind of sucks cause supposedly my car has knock sensors and it retards timing for crap gas. 91 is getting expensive, so I might have to start using 87. 🙁

How terrible. I've never owned a car that required less than 93, so I would be fairly pissed.

What car requires higher than 91. I thought most cars that required high octane gas had their requirements
set at 91 and higher.

Yes, 91, but they don't SELL that here. My statements stands that it requires 93. I can pick from 87, 89, or 93, so I don't have anything that requires less than 93. People should READ sometimes.
 
Someone should bomb OPEC and get some responsible leaders in there who will set some reasonable standards and not this crap like they are doing now. Everyone knows how rich Saddam was from his oil. You have to imagine that 90% of all OPEC members are living like that.

Are you serious? So, once oil hits 2.50 in the future the US should say "enough of this", and go and take those countries out? I don't think that the last iteration of the gulf war was for oil, but in the future the US will very likely attack middle eastern countries to get some of their oil. Essentially this will be starting a war over nothing but money, all so that people can drive SUVs more. Then we'll run out of oil altogether.

Sounds good to me. We should get even bigger and more gas guzzling SUVs to consume more oil. The ultimate in prestige would be to say you drive a $90,000 suv that measures gas in gallons per mile. It's especially important that this suv never drive in snow, go off road, carry more than 2 people, or carry more cargo than a car could.
 
For some reason, I don't think it's going to get up to $2.00/gal for Regular anytime this year(here in Oregon).

I guess we'll see.

Good idea. And if OPEC is "unfairly" keeping gas prices too high, let's just take those nations out. Afterall, it's our god given right to have very cheap gas, even if it isn't ours. It's just not nice of them to force us to drive midsize suvs, when we should all be driving school bus sized ones.
