Will Gasoline Prices Surge Overnight Due to Record Crude Oil Prices?

[smarteez2]

if you....go to GasBuddy.com - Find Low Gas Prices in the USA and Canada and enter your zip/town you cab fing the cheapest in your area.

I meant it didn't have to do with end consumer supply and demand. It had to do with investor supply and demand.

Or rather, investor demand.

That's the way the world oil market works.

It is also how just about any futures market works. It is neither good nor bad. It is the way it is.

 

[Christ Follower]

Ugh...$4.42 is the absolute cheapest today. Not good.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

I'm wondering that too.....

and what does it mean to get green credits?


I don't get it?

It's one of the hairbrained schemes being proposed by the Sky Is Falling crowd. You would be allocated a certain amount of emissions credits by the carbon police, within national carbon budgets that are going to be assigned by some international governmental body. You'd be given a card with X number of carbon credits and have to surrender credits when buying fuel or electricity.

It is masquerading as a do-gooder way to save the earth but in reality, it's just another way for bureaucrats to collect more taxes from you, limit your freedom and gain even more control over your life.

Either that or Ed Begley Jr. I'm just thankful that Al Gore had the foresight to invent the internet!

Most of this insanity has been coming out of Europe and England is considering the legislation.Actually, Ed Begley, Jr. is one of the few who not only talks the talk but walks the walk. He has made great efforts to conserve and be "green." He has been a fan of, and he's been driving, electric cars for some some time.Of course, electric cars are not really green. They simply move the exhaust from the tailpipe to the smoke stack of the power plant that provides the electrical service he uses to charge the batteries. Oops. We weren't supposed to notice that.

I know Ed is a walker of the talk... I was trying to be funny...:blushing:

It's sad to watch things spiral out of control. Let me know when some of you are ready to storm the castle gates. I am gonna buy a pitchfork this weekend so I'm ready when you all are!

That $3.69 gas yesterday turned to $3.89 this morning.

 

[pampchefrhondab]

Our gas has been $3.99 for a few weeks. Did go down to $3.89 for two days and then back up to $3.99 now!

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Pretty much what I expected. Around here, the jump only appears to be about a dime, but there's always tomorrow.

 

[dannyzmom]

3.99 here last night when I chose to heed KG's warning and filled my tank. This morning it's at 4.16
OUCH
Thank KG!!

 

[Kitchen Diva]

I'm growing corn for my own fuel! LOL kidding...maybe I could make some gas from the toots of bovines?

 

[lkprescott]

Well, we had our jump here... This morning regular was $3.95 (or was it $3.93... it's been weirder than weird lately)... just went past the station around the corner: it's now $4.07 for regular... the other week when it went up it stopped short of $4/gallon so this was quite a shock for around here... even knowing it's coming, it's still a smack when it happens.

Funny - if YOU grow corn and try to make it into alcohol, the revenuers will be there to bust up your still and haul your butt to jail.

But if you're a lobbying group and pay off the right people, they'll pay YOU 51¢ a gallon to distill it.

What is wrong with this picture?

Actually, some folks using veggie oil to run their cars are finding themselves "tax evaders" by the long arm of the tax laws... so you don't even need to grow it, just take some used oil off your neighborhood restaurateur's hands and put it in your car and look out. Vegetable oil fuels cars -- and tax bills - Los Angeles Times

Ahhhhh - government at it's finest!

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Amazing, isn't it? Your tax dollars at work, making sure they collect more tax dollars.

 

[chefann]

And what's really ridiculous is that we're under a Republican government and the Republican party was started with an emphasis on LESS governmental involvement and smaller government. Yeesh.

With a Democrat controlled, do-nothing Congress. If you look up "useless" in the dictionary, you'll find pictures of Nancy Pelosi and Dingy Harry Reid.

Yes, they've turned into political whimps and greedy sob's...I'm so proud of them. I'm a woman without a party and pretty soon I might be a woman without a country! Darn Idiots!

Oh, yeah, I'm a big fan of Harry "The War Is Lost" Reid (Pssst! Don't talk about that federally subsidized bridge that only goes to my land.)

Are you talking about the bridge that they are building up here in Minneapolis? Or did I miss an episode of Rush Limbaugh?
