Down to 1.55 in cville Md. :D Went to the safeway Gas station and used my points I earned for shopping at there store and paid .89 cents a gallon for a fill up so I filled my truck up it took 33 gallons. :wink: Hey pat its not 7 degrees here but its below 32 and ice is droping from the sky in a few places around here. I pulled around to my shed and put my 4-80lbs sand bags in the back of the truck for the winter traction its that time of the year for sure.

WOW it seems to have gone up almost 30cents in the last two weeks :shock: WHY is this now. Gas 2.50 a gallion here!!!! READ THIS!!!!
Quote;

U.S. crude-oil inventories are the highest in almost two decades, and demand has fallen to a 10-year low, but crude-oil prices have climbed about 74 percent since mid-January. They closed Friday at $61.67 a barrel.

Meanwhile, although refiners are operating at less than 85 percent of capacity, leaving them plenty of room to churn out more gasoline if demand rises during the summer driving season, the price of gasoline at the pump nationally has climbed 33 cents a gallon from a month ago
In the latest run-up in prices, Wall Street speculators - some of them recipients of billions of dollars in taxpayers' bailout money - may be to blame.
Obama administration's spending policies and Federal Reserve actions will trigger inflation and that oil prices will rise.
Oil contracts are traded mostly in U.S. dollars, and inflation would erode the value of oil earnings, stocks, or any other asset denominated in U.S. currency. Thus, many investors are pouring money into oil futures - contracts for future deliveries of oil at specified prices - in the belief that oil prices will rise as inflation erodes the dollar's value.
This turns oil-futures contracts into a way for investors to hedge against inflation at the expense of American consumers, who have to pay more to fill their gas tanks as oil and gasoline prices rise.
End

Let me say thank you mister Obama for watching out for the consumer. I did not tell people anything they already don't know for the media keeps us well informed of how great this adminstration is doing. One day they may even be able to stop the campaigning :shock:

I just paid $2.53 today at Exxon/Mobil in Miami. Filling up in the afternoon like I did at 101 degrees vaporizes your gas so you are getting less and burning more.

Here we are influenced by the boating crowd so supply and demand plays into it. Also hurricane season makes gouging for plywood and gas normal.

I won't comment on the politicians that let this all happen but don't believe everything you read or see on the news either.

I've gotten to the point where I just don't even look at the price anymore. It's just like toilet paper: What am I gonna do--stop buying it? :shock: I just can't get excited about it when it goes up or down. :?

Just paid $2.52 a gal this morning. It's .20 cent lower at the Kroger and Walmart stations. I wonder how they can sell it for so much cheaper.

You realy want to get mad think of it this way.

U.S. crude-oil inventories are the highest in almost two decades, and demand has fallen to a 10-year low, but crude-oil prices have climbed about 74 percent since mid-January. They closed Friday at $61.67 a barrel.
Meanwhile, although refiners are operating at less than 85 percent of capacity, leaving them plenty of room to churn out more gasoline if demand rises during the summer driving season, the price of gasoline at the pump nationally has climbed 33 cents a gallon from a month ago

Really?... Inflation's not a new thing. And neither is greed. I'm not a big fan of Washington D.C. either. In fact, I believe that when God is ready to give the world an enema that's where he's gonna stick the nozzle. But, it's not really fair for people to blame the new guy for the mess.

We all know you don't like him... but at least he actually won his election.

$2.759 this morn at Shell, metro Chicago western suburbs.

Up 20 cents in the last few days, no changes in weather, world news, driving patterns...personal feeling is it's all greed.
