Gas prices - The Orange Mane

Florida_Bronco · 03-29-2007, 05:57 PM

Are gas prices going up anywhere else besides Florida? For the last month or so, it seems like gas prices have been going up a few cents each week here, and they're creeping close to $2.70/gal when for awhile they were steady at under $2.08/gal.

Anyone know why they are going up? When can we expect them to go back down?

3 weeks ago it hit 1.95
Now it's 2.59 here.

Crushaholic · 03-29-2007, 06:00 PM

OPEC has controlled the price of oil by cutting production. They made it clear they weren't happy with the low price of oil and did something about it. That's reason #567,832 to wean ourselves off foreign oil...

Bronx33 · 03-29-2007, 06:01 PM

2.47 now and i really notice it in my pocket book (but i guess we got a war to pay for)

smalltowngrll · 03-29-2007, 06:02 PM

Heck, I loved it when it was $2.59...now, we are pushing $2.90 here....AGAIN! Good thing I live in a small town and nothing is over 5 miles away and I work less than a mile from where I live!

Oh, yeah,...those people that use that line forgot about July through September.

The only thing I really miss are the awesome lightening storms! We used to drive partway up the mountain and park off the side overlooking the city and watch the lightening storms. Such an awesome scene!!

Ok, sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread! Carry on.....

You got that right.... It was just a few weeks ago we were 'happy' to be paying $2.49 a gallon.

I used to work in the oil fields in the 80's, and belive me it doesn't cost any more today to pull and refine the oil then it did back then.

Same technology... same procedures... just that the oil men want to make more profit and we are willing to pay.

We also were not competing with China and India for the same resources. Competition creates demand which drives up the price. You cant blame the "oil men" for that.

watermock · 03-29-2007, 06:43 PM

It's irrespective of how much it costs to retrieve oil, it's controled by the commodity board. Speculators drove and drove the contract prices up, then sold short letting the little guy take the brunt of the fall.

Now that they have cleaned out the little fish, it's time to start driving the price up again.

While north slope oil costs in excess of 30 dollars per barrel, middle eastern oil is pumped out at around 4 bucks a barrel. We need to get nuclear kickstarted and get the tar sands up and running in canada...or take over Mexico.

sirhcyennek81 · 03-29-2007, 06:45 PM

2.66 in Florence.

Garcia Bronco · 03-29-2007, 06:45 PM

OrangeShadow · 03-29-2007, 06:46 PM

I live in Arizona and I love the heat. Apparently so do the ladies cause the hotter the state - the hotter the women. No baggy sweaters to hide behind! lol

Anyway back on track - paid $2.95 for premium this morning.

PS - I go to my local Fry's grocery store for gasoline. Fry's is owned by Kroger, same as King Soopers - are newer King Soopers stores also selling gas these days?
