this is insane. this cant all be attgributed to the peak.. its gotte be collusion


why wont the fed do anything about it.

and it's going to continue to go up. looks like no slowing down. Time to get the 2 wheeler out!

Steady :rokk: "Hook-Em-Horns"

I know I'm new here n'all but BOO HOO!!

I'm paying like $5+ per gallon!

Where in Europe are you?


Grimm - the price of oil has more to do with lack of gas production plants ( we have not built a new one in your life time - one is being built now but will take another 2 years), higher demand for oil, and the weakness of the dollar ( which is what oil is priced in on markets).

Might be time to go Hybrid baby!

im ready for my hybrid SUV:)

i know it has more to do with that, but the federal government could call collusion and put a cap on pricing. the fact that station to station haqs fluctuations of 10 c a gallon is just price gouging.

i wonder what the effect of a cap on the big oil companies pricing would have?

Oh and for the record I am not complaining about price and every car I own is a gas guzzler.

Grimm - the Lexus hybrid SUV will be out this year. Might be something to look into.

Good talking to you Trev <_<

if gas ever gets back down to 2.20 here, we'll probably just start filling up the swimming pool with it...

Good talking to you Trev <_< [/b][/quote]
I wasn’t being insulting about the Germans or the Americans… ask anyone that knows me here… I’m equally obnoxious with everyone :)

this combination is beaten by a Hill's Angels flush... :yowsa:

hahahah


We can tell when the EU is out numbered here :lol:

2.27 a galllon here in Maryland today for 87 octane when filling up the Ford Explorer
Loving that 17 MPG ah ha ha ha

I valge for Trev as being an Equal Opportunity and Unilateral Pain in the Keester!!! :agrin:

Also, rendh, if you're so thin-skinned to take offense that quickly, your shelf life on Oprano is going to be about one day. Just some friendly advice. B)

99 cents per litre here....

takes $100 to fill the Escalade :(

Welcome to all the new Europeans here :)

Unless you are French or even wolrse we Welsh , we haqve our quota of both .

ie 1 frenchie..zero welsh.

We here in Oregon, are paying $2.45 for the low grade, and $2.67 for the high grade

I paid $2.44/gallon yesterday a few blocks from the house.
$2.35/gallon in Miami.

I think $2.50 will be the resistence number -- that seems to hold some real psychological barrier. Oil is just under $54/barrel and Opec said they would ramp up production. Personally, I think it will hover around $2.50/gallon for 3-4 months before it starts to drop -- indifferent to the price of a barrel.

There are things that higher gas prices curb -- like discretionary spending. One might consider site memberships to be discretionary spending. :)

Oh great!!!

So its gonna be even harder to get joins lol

you are just a ray of optimistic sunshine cd ;-)))

According to CNN the other day, polls indicated that most people would not strongly object until they see $3.00 a gallon...

Which means that the gas companies (oil companies whatever) will push it to $3.00 now that the pollsters have told them where the limit is...












Defendant: Well Judge, how much is my bail.
Judge: How much did you bring ?
Defendant: about $2000
Judge: I have the strangest coincidence for you

You carry sardines around in your socks?

Brace yourselves then....

This is in N.California where it already hit $3.09/premium... but we drove past a gas station around the corner here last night where they were doing the new prices and it was 2.81. 2.91, 3.01 here in the desert. I think this is just the beginning...

:o

its $3.90 near Santa Cruz

I just paid $2.50 today for Premium.
I'm buying new tennis shoes tomorrow!

i claim to not know what you are talkin about

I can't be the first one to make that parallel.

Sunny weather on the Eastern US seems to detract from signups.
Romantic Holidays seem to be good for signups.
Christmas Break seems to be good -- people want to try out that porn on their new computers to see just how good the video card is.
Thanksgiving is for family, seems to not be good.

But, the last time gas prices rose like this, signups seemed to slow. Even Walmart reported lower same-store sales. The luxury boutiques didn't seem to notice a drop in sales. So, if sales drop, it would probably suggest that the working masses are the ones buying porn rather than millionaires.

Just my opinion.

Well, the traditional logic says that even in a depression two things will always sell and that's sex and booze....


But fortunately for the liquor companies there aren't 2,000,000 stores out there giving away free booze :blink:

talkies boomed in the Great Depression.

And of course prozac ,xanax , and valium sales will rocket :)
