Rising Gas Prices

[AngelinaCat]

Prices currently range from $3.71 - $3.85 for regular unleaded.

That is about what it is here in NE Florida, though premium is hovering around $3.99. Diesel--we have two diesel cars--is ranging between $3.85 at MurphyUSA to $4.10 at the Kangaroo just over the county line from us.

$3.53 is the cheapest I've gotten in locale. It's still obscene to even consider $3.53 per gallon as being cheap!

In Oregon you can't pump your own gas.

Nor NJ. We even have T shirts about it.

It's 4.15 a gallon here at the Chevron. It went up 12 cents a gallon over Mother's day weekend. However, Both Washington state and Oregon have high gas taxes. When I was growing up in So Cal. they had gas wars and it was 28 cents a gallon and they even checked the oil and washed the windows. Plus they gave blue or green stamps and sometimes laundry soap. In Oregon you can't pump your own gas.

The cheapest price in my zip code has been $3.61 for regular unleaded. The idea that $3.61 per gallon is "cheap" is simply absurd.

I am still amazed at how high gas prices have stayed. I so many people just puting $10 in their tanks, and that doesn't do much anymore.

Bachman is literally insane.

Well she's either going to nuke the middle east, cause a global depression (which is coming with or without her) or somehow use sea water to produce gas instead of oil.

These people just don't stop with this nonsense!




This lady is off her rocker for sure.......WOW!!

I put a little money into BP. I honestly think we are completely hooked on Oil.

We are at ab out 3.50/gallon but i live in a resort/tourism town so they gouge us big time!

In 20 plus years worldwide demand will increase over 130 million barrels per day up from 93 million today.

Fossil fuels are the past....we should be leading the way for the energy generation of the future!!!

Past, present and foreseeable future.

Until someone comes up with an electric car that has decent performance and range, talk is cheap.

Until someone introduces solar panels that actually make financial sense for an individual to install on their house, the concept will be viewed (and rightfully so) as snake oil.

And there's more...but $3.46 a gallon is bad enough for most people to start looking into viable alternatives.

The problem is, there aren't any at the moment.

Good luck to us all.

The average price is $3.37 where I live. Prices are still way to high, I frequently come across people that only pay for 1 gallon of gas ($3.37) worth of gas or the classic $5.00 or $10.00 worth of gas which is hardly enough to even start a car these days. Twelve years of high gas prices really destroyed the economy (on a global level) seemingly beyond repair.

I agree. High gas prices have destroyed our economy more than anything else. People have less and less discretionary income to spend because so much of it goes into the tank.

This is the one thing that could turn around the economy. Start drilling in the U.S. again. Start fracking for natural gas again. Supposedly, we have enough natural gas in the U.S. to last for over 200 years. We could convert most of our cars to run on natural gas, and use the oil for other things like plastics, etc.

But alas, I doubt it will happen in the near future.
