I went away the 17th of April and gas was $3.17 a gallon......just paid $3.65 a gallon! Thats .48 cent increase in a month!!!!:mad:

suck it up...it's just gonna get higher :1poke:

saw 4.70 diesel today

massenergy oil was $4.20 yesterday.

Pellet stove gets installed on the 21st. Eff this oil BS! I got 6 tons of pellets coming enough for 2 years.

Remember when as was alot cheaper than a gallon of milk???? Not any more!!!

It's been going up 2 cents a day for the last few months, it should level out after labor day, or at least I hope it does

And I ain't changed yet....still fishing as I have!:bounce:

Last year gas was cheaper on July 4th than on Memorial Day.

I read that this recent big jump was because refineries had switched over to "summer" regulation gas, which is more expensive to produce supposedly. That's all well and good, but what about the 15 cents it's gone up since then? Let's hope it will begin to level off as the driving season gets going.
I wonder if this talk of haulting the contribution to the strategic patroleum reserve will help like some say it will.

Saw $4.80 on the water 2day...WTF

boy can't wait too buy that bicycle :ugh:

`"The developing world is driving the increases in oil prices." quote

and Speculators too, damn them to Hell!
Same ones who got caught in the real estate mess, now are messing with OIL, and other commodities, which just drives the price of everything UP! period.

I'm only 27 and I can remember filling up my tank for less than 90 cents a gallon.

yea man, it was 1.07 early 2001

I'm only 27 and I can remember filling up my tank for less than 90 cents a gallon.

I remember when the price per gallon window on the pump only went as high as .99 and 9/10.

I remember when stations had to scramble for new pumps went it went above a buck a gallon. This would be about the late 70s, during the second embargo--Iran hostage era.

I pumped gas at Duarte's in P-town for 39.9 and 43.9 for premium. That was the Summer of '69 no pun intended.:jester:

This whole business of the oil companies turning record profits amongst all this just doens't add up. Then they go in front of congress and say they are victims of the high prices too, oh really? Then they put detergent in the gasoline and charge an extra 15 cents a gallon :rocketem:

$3.93 at the Exxon at the Buzzards Bay rotary tonight. $4 by Saturday, guaranteed--right on schedule, as predicted last fall :wall:

I paid $4.33 last night for 93.

$118.00 to fillup yesterday at Cumbys and it wasn't even 30 gallons :(
Most I ever paid to fill up. 3.68.9/gal. had to swipe the card twice as usual.
I'm glad I have shop work all summer long.

The "Go" Signal is 4.00.9/10. :deadhorse:I use this smiley only because there's no elephant getting wacked in the nutz.

Its 4.19 by me welcome to New York!!!!!

$4.48 here for reg....Diesel is 4.99 and that is at the street. Who knows what the dock price is... Talk is now $6.00/gal this summer. 5 will be a "bargain".

Domestic supply has to increase...when will they learn.


Price of crude went up 16% THIS WEEK! World wide demand certainly has not increased that much this week. There is a lot of speculation going on, guys that shorted at 100 and are not covering at 135. IMO it will fall back to 80-100 within 6 months BUT at the CURRENT futures price HOME HEATING OIL will be close to 5 bucks per gallon this fall....people are going to freeze their ass off this winter, you watch.

Domestic supply has to increase...when will they learn.




Agree 100%. Wrote to my Senators and Congressman. Only one answered my letter. "He's been to Anwar and it is too pristine to drill."
Ya well good for him, he's one of the few who could afford it, with the price of gas who else can afford to go. :huh:

I'm all for conservation, but we need help until altrenative energy fills the breech,
not so much to drive, but to keep the economy going and people warm.

Never have so few kept so many hostage. :(
That goes for the seal population too.

I took my son to the batting cage/miniature golf today - 1:00 pm on a this beautiful day - place not even half full.
Up the road from me, The 99 Restaurant went under.
Look out - we're going to see a freaking huge enema of business failings this summer.

:exp:I agree with Markey - he questioned why the oil futures prices are being "market driven" when there is no shortage of oil. I am still waiting to see what the energy policy that was written by Cheney contains. If it is favorable to the average citizen, why can't it be released???? :exp:

It hasn't even started yet.

Let me guess...he is a democrat.

Congressmen forget they are suppose to do what THE PEOPLE WANT...not what THEY WANT.
IMO drilling technology can be done pretty darn clean these days.

The value of the dollar is crap right now. if the dollar was worth what it once was, gas would be hovering around 3 a gallon.

I guarantee you that encouraging higher energy prices was the number one goal of the bush administration. To get to that goal, they did what ever it took... and that included exploiting current events if you get my drift..

Obama will fix everything!!!!

oooppps. Forgot that he is un-electable.

Lets hope McCain has a plan.

Lets hope McCain has a plan.


I am sure he does. More of the same :bs:

McCain opposes drilling in ANWR, he voted against it.

What I love most about McCain, is that he might be a closet card carrying member of Greenpeace. He had this to say on the O'Reilly factor:

O’REILLY: You voted against ANWR drilling. You voted against ANWR.

MCCAIN: Yes, and I’ll vote against drilling if they want to drill in the Grand Canyon, and I’ll vote against it if they want to drill in the Everglades. And I will try to make it more attractive for Florida and California and other states to have drilling off of their coasts, but I’m not going to force them to because…

O’REILLY: But no one lives in ANWR.

MCCAIN: No, it’s pristine beauty.

O’REILLY: So what? Who sees it?

MCCAIN: Well, all I do is believe that we have to preserve some of the great natural treasures of this earth…

O’REILLY: In the Arctic Circle?

MCCAIN: …no matter where they are, my friend. And I…
O’REILLY: You know, a lot of people aren’t going to like that.

MCCAIN: I know a lot of people don’t like it, but I am also an environmentalist. And so was Teddy Roosevelt, my hero. And I believe that there are just some things that you have to…

McCain has no plan!

While you say has no plan, he just earned a little of my respect.

I would vote for mccain in a heartbeat. IMO he is the only viable candidate. These other schmoes are absolute idiots.

Let me guess...he is a democrat.



:hihi:

He's doing his best to distance himself from Bush with the hope of attracting some Reagan Democrats. It's a counter to Obama's strategy of citing “Bush-McCain" policies whenever possible - in that electing McCain will be a de-facto third term for Bush.

What concerns me most about McCain is his war policy but other than that, as mentioned earlier, he has taken some respectable stances on issues despite forsaking political expediency (save torture ban, he voted against that one). McCain, in some cases, would rather go with his gut than with the grain. The problem with that being, Bush, if he gets away with such presidential recklessness and unaccoutability, has set a dangerous precedent for unabashed executive power. McCain could take that and run with it or he could restore constitutional relevance and accountability to the executive branch.

Will he do that? because some members (ex-members) of the current administration should be prosecuted!

While you say has no plan, he just earned a little of my respect.

Ditto.
If you somehow believe the hype from the oil lobbyists about drilling in ANWR you're a complete fool. Same with the Bristol Bay Pebble Mine.

Why sell a barrel of oil for $50, when it is evident that you can sell it for $100+ and demand budges little. The only thing drilling in ANWR will do is put more $100+ priced barrels on the market. The Oligopoly is in full effect, and the lobbying firms are their tentacles.

$8 per barrel x god knows how many barrels per day PROFIT wasn't good enough. :tm:

And the only good thing about McCain taking office would be a damn hot 1st daughter. :hihi:

Exxon Mobil/BP have submitted plans (http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/bp-exxon-submit-iraq-deal/story.aspx?guid=%7B5F7F5511-DDE7-41AE-B088-DB1CCFD5FADD%7D&dist=msr_2) for technical service contracts to increase production at super oil fields in Iraq.

oh, that's interesting, so this war is finally going to pay off then? :hihi:

With all the fighting between not only "insurgents" but the individual groups throughout the country WHEN do they propose to do this? :lurk:

oh, that's interesting, so this war is finally going to pay off then? :hihi:
it will pay off for exxon mobile... not for the consumer.

it will pay off for exxon mobile... not for the consumer.

yeah, you're right, then congress will ask them why the prices are still high even with this increased production in Iraq and they will say they are victims of the increased demand again :rollem:

Iraq is currently producing about 2 mil barrels a day. The biggest oil fields are in southern Iraq and the oil exports via the port city of Basra. Iran is a bigger threat to oil production and movement than the insurgents.

Exxon and BP now have a toehold in Iraq oil production via the TSC's as will other western companies and this will lead to expanding influence and control of Iraqi oil reserves. The pain of paying of $5 a gallon will lessen the backlash of public opinion with regard to the war being about oil. It will be ok with most people because reasonable people are more concerned about money than ideology.

gas out here right now... 4.50 for 87 it SUX

I've driven 107 miles on a little over a gallon

:laughs:

Lovin every minute of it.

well stop takin pictures then I only perform for the lense :hee:

well stop takin pictures then I only perform for the lense :hee:

thats what yo moma said. :heybaby:

:hee:

South Dakota voters approved constuction of a new refinery to refine 400,000 barrels of Canada crude / day.
Will employ1800 people and 4000 consruction jobs.
First new refinery in US in 30 years. Will take 4 years to complete.

At least it's a long over due start.

30 years? great planning by whomever.

Went up 10 cents over night ! again

was 3.83 here yesterday afternoon
now its 3.98 this morning..
15 cents overnight!!!

$4.09 at the local Cumby's.

Hell I paid $3.84 at S&S and it cost $65 to fill up a 4cyl Tacoma.What a bargain.:bs:

I will say that there is about half the cars on the road as there usually is around me...its like summer never started. I see a booming summer tourisim season..... yeah right :hs:

Took a bike ride around my neighborhood in the Pier. Definetly less people around than I would have thought given the weather forecast!

Raced yesterday, counted 4 power boats in Quicks.
2 small CC's coming out of Menemsha.

Quiet day on the bay!

Cape rentals are doing very well. Kids are still in school, and people are cutting down their weekend excursions, but once they take their 1-2 week summer vacations, Scenic Highway will once again be a two-way parking lot every Saturday afternoon.

yeah i paid $4.19 after work today. had a 10 bought a pack of smokes said put the change on pump 8. I didnt even get a gallon...:crying:
I remember in high school I could buy a pack of smokes for under 5bucks and gas wasnt even $2.00 a gal

on the ride home I started thinking...I'm never gonna be able to afford to enjoy the boat I just bought, to much gas $$$ :af:

I saw bush this am on a "morning joe" clip, talking about the prices of gas and how his economic stimulus program is gonna help us with the price of fuel...:rotflmao:..yeah right :hs:

counted 4 power boats in Quicks.
Wow.

-spence

Wow.

-spence

I'll second that.

I know I haven't been out much due to time constraints, but a survey from the wall in Narragansett on both sat. and sun. afternoons revealed a lot fewer PWC's (thank god, hate those) and powerboats in general. I think alot of people are sitting at the dock and :gu:
