Experts: $4 a gallon gas coming soon

[FearlessFreep]

Exactly. Supply and demand works both ways, so to speak. Even if the supply is the same, if demand goes up, then so will the price.

I have a related question.

Why is it, that the Stations by me, on the day they announced there might be a problem, and the Stock market caused the wholesale price of oil to go up, started rasing prices.

I mean, that gas was already at the station, paid for at the lower price...

I liken it to buying a case of twinkies at 10cents a twinkie, selling them for a quarter, then suddenly hearing that the twinkie factory burned down, and selling them for 2.00 each instead.

Its pure profiteering.

Or am I insane for thinking that?

Nope, you're just insane. :boing1:

People need to stop buying it.
Switch to hybrids, force the development of non-gas vehicles.
Move to solar, wind and pure hydro.
Hell, make car-bikes we can all peddle together in. L

I have seen a book on how to convert a regular automobile to run on grain alcohol, and it has a section on running a still...

I told my husband he needs to sell his big truck. His muttered response can't be typed out here on MT. Lets just say it would look something like *******!

Gas took another jump yesterday to $1.39.5 per litre.

This is getting ridiculous and the government is profiting from it with our good old double tax on gas.

 

[Cryozombie]

Supprisingly, I have found some stations (2 as of this AM coming into the office) around here who are holding UNDER 3.00 a gallon.

The site ie pretty accurate.

On Friday when most went up one station went down.

On the Michigan list it is number 5 for the lowest.



As per the President, and believe me it took his request, I drove my Bike to work on Friday, and also Friday night, when I went out with some friends for dinner. Conserving the fuel usage and all. There is no way I drove my bike becuase I also enjoyed it, that would not be in the theme of conserving.

As to selling off every SUV and Big Truck, each person has to do what they want or need to do. I predict that people will still need trucks for work and also for camping and hunting and such. Yet, they may not be the everyday driver.

The basics of our economy is supply and demand, and if everyone sells their SUV's and trucks right now with the interests rates on the rise, the value and demand will decrease and people will possible loose even more money than if they held it. Sit down and run the numbers out for a year to maintain the vehicle, and picking up a smaller transport of commuter vehicle, versus, selling and taking a loss on a vehicle.

Gas seems to be stabilizing in the 3.50-3.60 range here. Oh, and alot of stations appear to be out of gas too...ironically it was the ones that were changing prices every few minutes it seems. LOL Hope they go under.

 

[arnisador]

I paid $2.99 this morning and spent just over $42. It wasn't even on E yet! ouch, that hurts.

The first place I tried was indeed out of gas.

 

[jfarnsworth]

Ours went down to 2.99 . Whoohoo.

Also check gas prices at
(insert your state) www.()gasprices.com

They seem to be accurate as well.

 

[BlueDragon1981]

My honest opinion is they are raising prices to make a quick buck. There isn't a shortage. They are using kartrina and the war as an excuse to make money. Simple logic in my opinion.

 

[Cryozombie]

I saw 2.98 today...

 

[OUMoose]

I'm just happy we didn't see over 3.50 this past weekend.

 

[BlueDragon1981]

It has been 3.19 here for around 4 days now.
