Gas prices rising

[nemelek]

A lot more than prices at the pump are linked to the price of a barrel of oil. Sooner or later the cost of most everything will increase.

just filled up the tank today at $3.25/gal , cost $27 to fill her up. I watched the SUV next to me cost $67 to fill it up, and heard the person complain they had already filled up this week. Its really odd how gas shot up around here, on Monday it was $2.97, and then wed it was $3.13....., and i read somewhere in the wall street journal that we actually have a surplus of oil stored, so im confused

Wonder if people will again start to torch their gas guzzlers to get out of their loans . This was due to the big hit in resale value and owners of the guzzlers being turned away because the dealerships had to many and couldn't sell them .

Guess the people will never learn . 3 strikes since '79 and your out .

I just saw gas for 144.9 cents per litre (I live in Australia and yes thats how we spell liter).

That would be the equivalent of $5.49 a gallon in the USA.

Currently at 3.35 per gallon here in western Pennsylvania. I am interested as well to see how this plays out for those with much Thirstier vehicles.

Actually it is Rockefellers intention to rise up gas prices and then control world. How easy :)

In Finland you maybe won't get gas today under 1,50 € / liter

That's a good time to buy a truck or SUV. They couldn't give them away. Picked up our former rental Expedition for a steal. Currently it's worth more according to KBB now, even with the mileage.

Gotta love supply and demand. Someone, somewhere always makes money.

I thought I saw a summary of "where your money goes" of the American food/agriculture market saying that transportation cost only accounted for 6% of the cost you pay in the store. Thus a slight increase in gas prices is a lousy excuse to turn up the prices...

I love my 11mpg Landcruiser, it just wasn't built to be a daily driver. It has a specific purpose in my life. My new Yaris also has a specific purpose in my life and I love it as well.

Got 38.5mpg on my first tank. About 1/2 city 1/2 hwy, low tire pressure a couple of days and about 1/3 of that tank with wife and daughter on board.

Sure beats 11mpg for commuting.

Currently petrol here costs 6.40$ a gallon (US) that's 1,70 euro/l

The goverment is doing a research why the prices sky rocketing over here.

But i think the end isn't in sight.

$67 for an SUV that's hilarious; it's almost the same price wich i pay for the cheaper diesel over here for my Yaris...

We have a monthly payment of less than $130 for the 2010 . Cost over twice as much a month to fill up many S.U.V.s , mini vans , etc..

[fluke_boy]

US $3.51 (Shell) or US $3.35 (BP) per gallon depending on where one goes to fill up here in Leesburg, FL. I was feeling grumpy when last I filled up at US $3.09/gl 10 days ago.

[Hershey]

$3.59

[haschel]

1.269$/ liter here and i'm happy to have a yaris....

makes me glad me and my wife both drive cars that get over 40mpg. cheapest here is 3.35 a gallon.

Now the gas prices in my area has risen more than $0.50 in one week. From $2.92/Gallon to $3.49/Gallon. I'm going to trade my Yaris in for a motorcycle. I don't care if I ride my bike through snow storm or a hurricane, at least I'll have money to feed my wife and my kids.
