Gas In A Month.......
 

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 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.

REVOLUTION!!!
 

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.

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.

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.

: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!

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.

:cheers:

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.
