$3.35 a gallon - Page 2

Sailariel · February 27th, 2011, 11:18 AM

I have not read the book. My guess would be that the Wall St. investors are doing some heavy investing in oil futures.

That seems to be the general thought. I thought the same until I read this book a while back. It makes alot of compelling arguments. It changed my mind anyway.

The US government or a different government? OPEC has been determining oil prices since the 60's.

Quote:

OPEC members coordinate policies on oil prices, production, and related matters at semiannual and special meetings of the OPEC Conference.

Quote:

OPEC members collectively own about two-thirds of the world’s proven petroleum reserves and account for two-fifths of world oil production.

I haven't read the book, but from the description, the author relates oil prices to politics. He's most likely right. OPEC is made up of many middle eastern nations and when something makes them mad, they just raise oil prices. The wall street investors are only betting on what they see from OPEC. Now, the US could affect prices if the environmentalists didn't have such strong lobbying powers. There's a lot of oil in Alaska, but we aren't drilling much.

The price jumped a dime yesterday $3.45 and climbing.

CThunder-blue · March 1st, 2011, 10:02 AM

$3.71 at my nearest station to home. I found one for $3.61. I'm sure my local costco would be slightly cheaper than that.

caps · March 1st, 2011, 01:30 PM

$3.35 here aswell

Sailariel · March 1st, 2011, 04:21 PM

Same here.

CynicalC · March 1st, 2011, 08:19 PM

I don't really pay attention anymore. It's between 3 and 4. I know in the city (SF) it's 5 at some places.

BTW if you think gas is expensive, i guess you haven't bought ink in a while!

I had to laugh at this. It really puts things into perspective.

almost40 · March 1st, 2011, 09:04 PM

Hold on to your wallet. Wholesale gas went up to $3.00 a gallon today.
$3.60-$3.70 at the pump here, by Thursday.
BET ON IT.

Count on a $.15-$.20 increase at your local station.

Live2ride · March 1st, 2011, 09:09 PM

Our lowest price station in town went from $2.98 to $3.34 in 4 days.

almost40 · March 3rd, 2011, 12:47 PM

$3.57 up $.12 today.......count on another $.05-.$10 by the weekend. Wholesale gas is $3.02 as I type this. Ill be in the garage this weekend getting the ninjette ready to ride for the summer. Ill be riding a little early this year. Time to bust out the cold weather gear.

darrell85 · March 3rd, 2011, 02:13 PM

$3.19 today. yesterday morning it was only $3.07

ally99 · March 3rd, 2011, 06:19 PM

$3.36 here. Riding my Lil' Ninj every chance I get to work and back.

scotty · March 3rd, 2011, 06:20 PM

$3.49

Cuongism · March 4th, 2011, 09:57 PM

You guys are still lucky.
Cheap mom and pop station

Chevron next to it.

scotty · March 4th, 2011, 10:02 PM

Ouch! Those prices are crazy!

mrlmd · March 5th, 2011, 07:04 AM

$3.48-3.52 for reg. up 20 cents in the past 2 weeks in Tallahassee Fl. (panhandle area).

Snake · March 5th, 2011, 10:02 AM

Those prices make me glad I have a lil Ninja gas sipper.

tiggen · March 6th, 2011, 04:08 PM

Paid $3.67 in town yesterday.

Anybody notice your milk price?

GeneJunkie · March 6th, 2011, 09:54 PM

Regular gas across the street from where I live is currently $3.96 /sigh

scotty · March 6th, 2011, 10:00 PM

It went down here today! $3.35/gal!

Live2ride · March 6th, 2011, 10:34 PM

$3.38 for low grade, $3.58 for premium here and that's the cheapest station in a 30 mile radius

. I've seen premium all the way up to $3.75 at some places...

almost40 · March 6th, 2011, 10:39 PM

Wholesale gas hit $3.07 today I expect another price increase of a dime at my local station. The price dropped .02 cents today to $3.55. I predict $3.65+ by tuesday morning. Ill let ya know.

It takes fuel to move that milk, along with everything else. Dont expect to get a break in the price of anything with fuel prices rising.
BTW Milk here is $1.25 a gallon Just bought me some 2%.

Wow, I haven't seen a gallon of milk here for under $3.50 in about 5 years. I think its almost $5 now...

Domagoj · March 7th, 2011, 03:03 AM

6,74 $

cheapest in Croatia.

warlord · March 7th, 2011, 04:58 AM

It's $3.69 here already. I had to fill up yesterday at $3.90 gal.

almost40 · March 7th, 2011, 11:24 AM

I just read my post from late last night. I meant to say half gallon for $1.25. OOOOOOOPS. Sorry, either way Its still cheaper than what you pay for milk. I guess living in cow country does have its advantages.

That is some crazy price gouging on the Plus and Super fuel. Usually, the plus is $.10 higher and the Super is $.20 above (altho many stations now add in another few cents on the Super.)

Raven · March 7th, 2011, 01:21 PM

Damn. I wonder what it will be in next 10 years, huh?

This makes me glad I bought two wheeled bike.

And the pic up there, I wouldn't bother to stop by for food since gotta use up the money for fuel if I'm running low and just came right out of empty road driving from nowhere. bleh.

dubojr1 · March 7th, 2011, 01:50 PM

Average is $3.46 for regular...

Apparently here in Billings, MT we have the cheapest gas of any metropolitan area in the US (according to CNN) at $3.15. This is the first time I heard Billings referred to as a "metropolitan area," however

stealth250 · March 7th, 2011, 03:24 PM

I saw it as "cheap" as 3.48 this morning. It got up to 3.55 last week!

COME ON RIDING WEATHER!!!

Cycy · March 7th, 2011, 08:11 PM

EVERYTHING is expensive here in montreal. I HATE being in Quebec. always had to pay 2taxes. quebec taxes are ridiculously expensive. alot of no life. rich family cant get rich because they have to pay more taxes for the governement to give that extra money to those who doesnt work. arg!!

Cycy · March 7th, 2011, 08:13 PM
