Boy, what a bunch of eternal optimists here. That's why I don't usually
read these threads.

I'm paying 281.9. All I wanna know is why it's .9? Doesn't anybody
realize that's really 2.82? Why don't they just call it that? We've
gotten used to $1.99 being the same as $2. but everybody still talks
about gas as 2.98 or 3.24, they just forget about that extra cent
they're paying. I know, it's been that way forever, but it's still
stupid!

Gas will go up as high as we're willing to pay for it. When people quit
driving as much, it'll go down, same as always. And another thing,
people talk about the supply of oil as the major problem, and that's not
it. It's the capacity of the refineries, that's where the supply
shortage is coming from now.

so they find a bit more here a bit more there. Fact is it is a finite
resource and will run out. A lot sooner then they are willing to let
on.

And where did you get your information. From a investment paper that
has advertisements to intice you to invest in some firm or fund?

they have been claiming finds all over the place. Where's the oil?

Here in Washington State (Port Townsend) jumped from $3.19 on Sunday to
$3.39 a gallon on Monday - regular unleaded. Good God, greed has taken
hold. They tout this place as a tourist town, getting ready for summer
travel season.

$2.80 Edison,NJ

There is no "limits" to the amount of fossil fuel, at least not in the
"we're gonna run out in our lifetime" sense. Two generations ago used
coal, and there was the same 'coal is a finite resource - woe unto us'.
Two generations prior to that was using hardwood. Point being, we'll
exit the "Fossil Fuel" age, into something else, before we ever really
run dry.

The price is what the market will bear. Thats all there is to it. Sure,
short-term fluctuations are attributed to seasons, wars, greed, and
typo's. Fact is, we probably could afford $4.00 a gallon. Its only after
$6/gallon that we'd do anything about it.

It's 2.85 here. Summer break for the lil ones is 2 weeks away. I reckon
its going to hit $3.00 then and beyond.
People say "buy electric cars". Some of us single parents will never be
able to afford that luxury. Dream a lil dream i guess!

Mike you said "Fact is, we probably could afford $4.00 a gallon"

Who are you including in this "we" of yours? I know I sure cannot
afford 3.20, let alone 4.00 or even 5.00. And the scary thing is, ifit
goes up too much more I will ose my job due to gas cost, cause I use my
car for work (not to and from work but FOR work). I get about 90 to 100
miles to the TANK and can not afford to buy a better car. 10 gallon
tank, tha is 9 to 10 miles to the gallon. I drive four miles one way to
work, four miles at work and four miles back home. That is over a
gallon a day. No, I sure as hell can not afford these prices.

Here is an interesting concept, if you want the price of gas to go down,
use less of it.

Jeeeeeeeez people you have no idea!!!

You are talking about a gallon, I assume?

Some maths ... £1 = US$2 (for ease of maths)

Lets say your fuel is $3 per gallon [shock]

That would be £1.50 a gallon.

We buy our fuel by the litre here and in Europe.

1 gallon is 4.54 litres

1 litre of unleaded in the UK is, £0.98p or ... £4.30 a gallon or $8.60
a gallon ...

Ok .. now be shocked!!! LMAO laugh

most knew that aready bigsmile

but there is no excuse for the diference

but there is a big difference in the distance

most europeans drive to work

compared to that of those in the states

back in the 60s-80s a lot of the people

moved out of the urban areas where they work

to live in the country

50-60 miles one way is not that uncommon around here

It's $2.869 in NE Ms

Yeah, Bamabz that 9/10 tacked on has aways been a wonder and one of my
peeves...buy a gallon and demand the correct change, lol.noway

Another thing that grates me, we could all be driving vehicles
powered by energy cells...it will happen but the transition will be so
slow that many of us will not live to see it.
