12-19-2005 Iraq Fuel Price Hike Sparks Protests
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Violent demonstrations broke out across Iraq and the oil minister threatened to resign Monday after the government raised the prices of gasoline and cooking fuel by up to nine times.
The price of a liter of imported and super gasoline was raised to 17 cents, which is a fivefold increase from previous prices. There are about 3.8 liters in a gallon, meaning the new price is about 65 cents a gallon.
The price of locally produced gasoline was raised about sevenfold to about 12 cents per liter, or about 46 cents a gallon.
In Amarah, 180 miles southeast of Baghdad, police fired into the air to disperse hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the provincial government headquarters.
The demonstrators, however, did not leave, and some scuffled with police. Protesters also briefly blocked the main road between Amarah, Basra and Baghdad.
Drivers blocked roads and burned tires near fuel stations in the southern city of Basra, and hundreds of Iraqis demonstrated outside the governor's headquarters to protest the price increases.

$3.19 here in New Orleans today

GM should be forced out of business.
Just saw new 2006 SUV commercial where they were actually pushing the SUV as being a fuel efficient vehicle.
As stupid Americans buy this I have no sympathy for us as we still continue this destructive behavior.

Welcome OT folks
Atlanta $4.99 and out of gas so the price doesn't matter.
Prices in excess of $6 expected tomorrow but many stations througout country out of gas.
Southeast U.S. out of gas
8-23-2005 I haven't see anything in the news yet but many stations in New Orleans have in fact run out of gas.
Many stations do not have any middle or Premium grade. Don;t see any stations lacking regular grade.
Can anyone else confirm this outage outside New Orleans area or other States???
Petition to Shut Nascar down during Gas Crisis
8-21-2005 Since we are clearly in a Gas crisis I propose that Nascar be shut down until the crisis passes, if ever.
The huge amount of fuel wasted transporting the cars and crews, the waste of the race itself and the wasted fuel by all of the spectators would certainly put a dent in the strain on the gas reserves since Refineries cannot keep up as reported.

This article is dedicated to the Elitists on P&N that swore that you would never re-coup the cost of buying a Hybrid:
8-20-2005 Tax credit worth up to $3,400 adds incentive to buying hybrid
Here's how the difference works out: Ford's suggested retail price for the 2005 V6 Escape hybrid is $28,525, $2,980 more than the gasoline-powered V6 Escape.
Linkov estimates, based on tests he performed and an assumed $3.00-per-gallon cost for gasoline, that you'd save $769 in fuel costs annually driving 15,000 miles per year.
The estimated tax credit for the V6 Escape is $1,950.
Using these figures, it would take about 16 months to recoup the hybrid's higher price.
=======================================================
Many areas in Country around $3 a gallon. California now going for $4.
6-21-2005 Gas Prices Drive More Consumers to Steal
As sticker shock at the pump shows few signs of abating, gasoline bandits are multiplying, pushing the rate of fuel theft to unprecedented levels. The trend illustrates that while gasoline demand remains relatively inelastic, consumer angst over high prices is steadily growing.
"Behaviors like stealing do mean the real cost of gasoline has had some significant impacts on people"
=======================================
Hysterical
News must be slow now, making a huge deal out of a 6 cent drop in Gas prices and like I said Gas at just above $2 is now considered cheap Gas. Mission accomplished.
Interesting that Gas is slightly lower in very poor part of the Country in Mississippi. Gas is close to that price in Louisiana as well as Alabama.
Gets it's one of the only advantages to being in the poor depressed South Red States.
5-22-2005 Gas Prices Drop by Average of 6 Cents
The average gasoline price nationwide for all grades tumbled 6 cents in two weeks, continuing a slide in pump prices that began last month, an industry analyst said Sunday.
The most popular grade, self-serve regular, was priced at $2.15 a gallon
Average gasoline prices spiked 49 cents per gallon between Jan. 1 and April 8
The highest average gas price in the nation for regular unleaded among the stations surveyed was $2.51 a gallon in San Francisco. The lowest was $1.94 in Jackson, Miss.

The Oil Barons and P&N Elitists worst nightmare:
8-13-2005 Experimental Hybrid Cars Get Up to 250 Mpg
CORTE MADERA, Calif. - Politicians and automakers say a car that can both reduce greenhouse gases and free America from its reliance on foreign oil is years or even decades away. Ron Gremban says such a car is parked in his garage.
It looks like a typical Toyota Prius hybrid, but in the trunk sits an 80-miles-per-gallon secret ? a stack of 18 brick-sized batteries that boosts the car's high mileage with an extra electrical charge so it can burn even less fuel.
Gremban, an electrical engineer and committed environmentalist, spent several months and $3,000 tinkering with his car.
The extra batteries let Gremban drive for 20 miles with a 50-50 mix of gas and electricity. Even after the car runs out of power from the batteries and switches to the standard hybrid mode, it gets the typical Prius fuel efficiency of around 45 mpg. As long as Gremban doesn't drive too far in a day, he says, he gets 80 mpg.
Backers of plug-in hybrids acknowledge that the electricity to boost their cars generally comes from fossil fuels that create greenhouse gases, but they say that process still produces far less pollution than oil. They also note that electricity could be generated cleanly from solar power.
Nonetheless, plug-in hybrids are starting to get the backing of prominent hawks like former CIA director James Woolsey and Frank Gaffney, President Reagan's undersecretary of defense.
They have joined Set America Free, a group that wants the government to spend $12 billion over four years on plug-in hybrids, alternative fuels and other measures to reduce foreign oil dependence.
Gaffney, who heads the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Security Policy, said Americans would embrace plug-ins if they understood arguments from him and others who say gasoline contributes to oil-rich Middle Eastern governments that support terrorism.
Monrovia-based Energy CS has converted two Priuses to get up to 230 mpg by using powerful lithium ion batteries.
