gotta make sure I jump into this thread again just in case there is a chance I'll get another negative rep point for it! :rolleyes:

On a lighter note: prices remained unchanged at a few stations where a few have inched up slightly.

Well they were 2.29$/gallon only 2 weeks ago, then 2.39$/gallon last week and today I see 2.45$/gallon

What in the hell is causing the increase I wonder?? I've not seen anything on the news to push it up and Crude prices are stable with the driving season over with prices should be falling not climbing. :confused:

I call lazy, posting about a story and not throwing in a link to it... I call stubborn what your doing as in arguing over nothing instead of posting a link as I asked for...but as for the topic at hand, gas prices are rising again and during a non driving season and with not one single hurricane.

Oh I am matching you for stubbornness yes, but its fairly common in conversations to mention something without a link, if you have any casual conversations in the real world you'll understand that. So if you wanted more info you could easily find it, but you chose not to and want it brought to you, thats being lazy.

At least its a start I guess..hope it continues to fall at least $1 more before next spring and they raise it again.

$2.42 right now but that isn't the massive drops it took last winter... we could all be looking at $4/gallon or more for gas by time spring gets here unless it drops to near $1/gallon again from what the reports are showing.

Ok.. we have a small snow storm (nothing a few days of snow removal couldn't handle) and prices jumped from 2.42/gallon to 2.59/gallon over NIGHT!!! :irate: :irate:

Nothing noted on the news, oil not shooting up, the dollar isn't moving much and yet the only excuse I could see is snow... :wth:

It would appear the cold snap around the area has effected the prices all cause they dropped production to be greedy once again and got caught with low amounts in stock. Prices have to drop around 1.50/gallon in order for them to be ready for the summer excuses of raising or else we will be sitting at $4/gallon gas again by June.

Up to $2.75 today and prob going to climb higher.. listening to CNN this morning the blame is going on the cold snap everywhere but no capacity output of oil is being produced to offset it so they are just raising prices... $3/gallon gas average is set for the next few weeks and if we don't do something soon we may see $4/gallon again when the summer driving season excuse comes out. :rolleyes:

Purchase oil my children. Keep Wall Streeters happy. They are laughing uncontrollably all the way to the bank. Want it to stop? Stop supporting them. Impossible you say? You may be right, but try we must.

It's all part of the game to devalue the dollar as quick as possible, along with passing Health Care Reform and setting us up for the perfect switch to Socialism while you all stand by and watch.

Prices are holding steady around here at 2.69$/gallon but doesn't it make anyone wonder what will happen when the driving season starts heating up??? I hate to say it but we may be looking at $4/gallon gas again by July!! :eek:

Back up to 2.75/gallon..... Ok someone tell me what is driving and keeping gas prices so high?!?

Light Crude is still around 80$/barrel and hasn't shifted much in the last month or so. Something has to give and soon or else we will see $4/gallon gas again when the summer driving season kicks in to full gear!
Analysts say the oil rally should continue, barring any surprising economic news with prices piercing a ceiling of about $85 a barrel as early as May.

Looking ahead, traders are keeping an eye on OPEC's semi-annual conference on March 17, where analysts expect oil quotas to remain unchanged. April crude contracts expire on March 22.

Gasoline prices: The national average for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline rose to $2.783 on Friday, up from the previous day's price of $2.776, according to motorist group AAA.
When gas prices were hitting the $2/gallon mark for the first time it was all over the news and everyone was talking about doing something... its time to start back up again and for once DO SOMETHING!! High fuel prices obviously hurts the economy and slows it down.

Yep..still climbing to its $3/gallon mark. I would hope someone puts the brakes on Oil prices soon before we see $4/gallon by Labor day! :eek:
Prices at the pump are up nearly 4 cents in the past three weeks, continuing a trend of rising prices since mid-February, according to a survey published Sunday. The national average national for a gallon of gasoline is $2.85, Lundberg Survey found in the survey conducted April 9.

The rise in price coincides with a rise in crude oil prices in past three weeks. Crude prices rose the equivalent of 10 cents a gallon.

Although not assured, the trend points to a possible national average of $3, said survey publisher Trilby Lundberg.

The biggest determinate of whether gas prices will hit the $3 mark will be oil prices, she said.
