holy crap man thats insane! |
The most insane part of it all is that folks still pull up in front of the grocery store here and leave their F-350s idling while they shop. The size and number of all these shiny new trucks is mind-boggling.

The size and number of idiots out there who think gas is going to come down is also mind boggling. On the local news here gas is down a nickel so peak oil defeated energy crisis this is not. Morons every one of them.
I really can't wait for $10 gas to hit the US. Americans need to be beat upside the head because we are a suborn lot. |

Which corresponds with it going to 3.89 from 3.92...
But it's the national average that matters of course. |

RBOB at 3.4788. None of the gas stations in my area have broke past 3.99 for unleaded so this should be the straw that breaks $4. |

I noticed that when RBOB was at 3.40 a gallon wholesale, retail gasoline where I live was selling for only $3.99 for days after $3.40 wholesale, which is only 59 cents more added on, when it is usually 65 cents. This implies that retailers are probably not making money selling gasoline in order to appease customers. However with RBOB now at 3.47 those gas stations will have to raise prices above $4 a gallon because where I live in my state, a gas station cannot sell gas for a loss. |

3.5650, pretty strong gain today of +20/c. Now, all we need is a little storm brewing in the Gulf and $5.00 (nationally) for retail unleaded will be passed this summer. |

We may see some extremely fast price rises for gasoline at local stations in the next few days or so, probably only exceeded by the chaotic conditions after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Here is what http://www.gasbuddy.com/ has for prices today:
Regular Gasoline Average Prices
USA Canada
Today 3.986 133.420
Yesterday 3.984 133.574
One Week ago 3.970 133.241
One Month ago 3.615 126.838
One Year ago 3.117 112.526
