How about investing a little bit again. The rest of us could use a break

Sounds like a plan! LOL

I kind of doubt that for two reasons.

1. unemployment is still very high particularly teen unemployment. This could put a real dent in those summer driving vacation plans.

2. Demand in other countries such as China is actually down slightly from 2008 numbers. In fact, I recently read an article indicating that the ban imposed in several chinese cities against compact cars has been lifted by the central government. Once demand comes back up in China it may not be quite as thirsty as before

Is that $10gal for premium or regular?

NJBob · 05-09-2009, 06:52 AM

It hit $2.00 this week.

Still I can't complain. I get a week and a half to two weeks on a fill up ($20 right now).

Probably for anything that will make your car go...

Sounds like Mr. Obama is doing one thing right in my opinion - he's discouraging Israeli attacks on Iran.

$2.39 for regular gas is the lowest I've seen in my area, which is Olympia WA.

The price of gas has nothing to do with the cost of crude or how much gas is floating on the Mississippi river in barges when there is no to off load it.

But yep I do think it will hit $3.20 this summer. This winter it will not go below $2 and $3.80 for the summer for E85.

Every one knows the ethanol producers are pushing for E85 now and by next summer it will replace the E90 that all of us are getting right now.

Yawesh · 05-09-2009, 03:37 PM

just past by a Mobil today charging 2.59 for 87! crasssy, when the stations around it are charging 2.29-2.39

For the first time in a long time (5 years) gas costs more than Diesel. Last summer when pulling our trailer each mile cost $.38. The Yaris cost $.09/mile.

I never understood that since it cost less to produce diesel since it's not as refined.

Experts?

devinlamothe · 05-10-2009, 01:32 PM

Ugh it just hit 0.98 / L here ... it was 0.89 / L the other day, laaameee.

I am not an expert but I believe that there are a few factors involved. Ultra Low Sulfer Diesel became law and the refineries claim that there were more costs involved production. Second the demand increased. 20 years ago there were no pickups with diesel engines. 10 years ago there were very few of them. A couple years ago Cummins/Dodge sold their millionth diesel pickup. Add the Powerstroke, Duramax and big Motor Homes the demand went up more. Once again the refineries claimed they couldn't meet demand ant the cost rose.

nemelek · 06-07-2009, 06:01 AM

Gas prices are on the rise again. Up $.30 over the last month.

SilverBack · 06-07-2009, 06:18 AM

Already seeing a local average of $2.93 and rising. It'll definitely hit $3 BEFORE Summer

NJBob · 06-07-2009, 06:59 AM

It's around $2.30-2.40 here.

mimelio · 06-07-2009, 07:27 AM

$2.69 here in Central NY...
