Gas has dropped 15 cents or so in the past few days. Wouldnt be surprised if it keeps going back down to 1.80 like it usually does.

Dude? Are you for real? Gas has been going up and up hear. Today jumped to $2.09 at someplaces it's more (payed $2.11 today actually but used a gas card I got for xmas ).

Yeah $20 if your lucky .. I waited till my gas light was on to and fro from work the last 2 days :speechless: and filled up while it was on the empty mark and stopped @ $26 and was just under full still.

Well sory to say but the only place gas prices is going is up. In the next month I think it is the OPEC cartel have there meeting to see if prices are high enough and if they feel not they will raise them. Historicaly OPEC has raised oil prices after every meeting of the OPEC cartel except once where it remained unchanged.

Yep...i was kinda shocked but then again it could just go back up again.

Those prices are per litre as no way would they be for a Gallon.

 

[RickyC]

Why all the complaining???

Gas/Petrol prices in the UK are nearly FOUR TIMES the price as in the US!

Think yourselves lucky.

 

[Electronic Punk]

Yeah, I have to put £40 a month in mine (diesel) which is actually a damn good price!

Well when you are spoiled with low prices and something jumps up to this amount, then of course you are going to complain. I bet when euro prices went up (if they jumped the amount they have here in year) there would have been complaining too. I think its on average to say gas prices are jumping 30¢ a year and the worst is yet to come because in summer they usually go 10-15¢ more because of the demand is so high. I also saw on cnn that they were going to go drill in alaska but i don't know if it will actually go to the consumer or go to the oil reserve, but that might hurt OPEC just a little. I was told that once IRAQ gets up and going they can't join OPEC so it might be able to fight to lower prices, but I don't think that will happen.

I know what you mean, the prices went up 5 years ago when I was in the States, and it still was darn cheap for me, but the prices had gone up more than 25% - anyone would balk at such a rise in costs!

Not sure about elsewhere but here in th US we need more hybrid cars. The ones that are available are way out of my price range, so basically the people that can afford them won't buy them as they can afford fancy cars like dodge vipers, porche 911 turbo's, hummer's, and all the fancy toys. The poor hippie (I'm not really a hippie but I love mother earth - as in I don't wanna be scortched by acid rain and I don't want my kids to either) can't afford the hybrid cars to try and make a difference in the amount of oil we use and evironmental impact we make yearly. </sleepyrant>

*edit* - *puts on flame resistant suit* I'm also not comfortable with our president being an oil man coming from an oil family. :nervous:

I put in £40 a fortnight! :suprised:

Drilling Alaska is not going to help one bit, there is estimated 6 billion barrels of iol in Alaska, the U.S. imports 9.6 million barrels PER DAY. That gives us 625 DAYS of oil or 2 years worth at that rate of usage. Usage increases by approx 5 million barrels per year. The US Federal oil reserve capacity is 727 million barrels with a current inventory (According to the DOE) of 684.2 million barrels (down by 13.5 million barrels from max).

So you can bet that the first 13.5 million barrels will go to re-fill the Federal Reserve. Not that big of a hit, only about 2 days worth.

But, and wit hthe governmnet there is always a but, it will take upto 5 years before we the consumer ever sees the drop in gas prices because it will take at least that long for drilling to comence and all the red tape and the enviromental protests/petitions/lawsuits/injunctions.........

The problem is not OPEC, the Federal Government, the porblem is far too much of the comercial industries are in the pockets of big oil. We have had hybrid car technology for 25 years!!! But because of the oil companies leverage in the government auto makers were told NO! Only in the last 5 years have auto makers taken a stand and build cars and put them to market.
Did you know know that for an investment of approx $3,000 per household using solarpanel roof tiles we could cut our oil usage for electricity by 96%!!! That is 3.2 Million barrels per day cut! But then the electric company losses money and so does the oil company's.
