That's what he wanted, looks like he made it happen! That sorry *!@#!@#*

And at the same time oil is only about $102.00 {ish} a barrel, no biggie.

The speculators on wall street must work for Obama i guess.

:beer:

EDIT, the other reason for high prices i read about is that the speculators are speculating a refinery near Philly might close.

Face it, we don't stand a chance.

[Bigdogjim]

Is that cash or credit:lol:

[NXSBOB]

Is that in MD? :mad2:

[FastMerc]

The govt doesnt care they want to break the common man and make pesants of us all,thats a socialist for ya!

[Reek09]

That's the very reason I dred getting my car out of the shop! Gas prices are rediculous..and we HAVE to use premium!

[screamn]

Wow I thought here in paradise was the highest gas prices but this takes the cake....

Still below $5 gal for premium in Honolulu but not for long! :mad2:

When you print more money, it has less worth and things cost more.

True. It started like this in my country and now look how they are. I hope we go to civil war before we become another socialist country.
I'm as ready as I ever be.

93 oc was $4.10 here in New Orleans. That was at Sam's and they are usually .10 or more less than everyone else. Takes the fun out of WOT....

[SC Cheesehead]

We're at $3.89 for 93 octane here in Greenville.

[MOTOWN]

Can you say PRICE GOUGING??????????

You're absolutely correct about speculation. Uncertainty and turmoil in the Middle East, current administration's restrictive policies on domestic drilling, continued printing of currency driving down the valuation of the US dollar, high demand, and potentially lower supply due to the possible closing of the Sunoco refinery in PHL, you betcha oil's a good commodity to speculate.


Can you say PRICE GOUGING??????????

Who's gouging the price? Oil company profit margins are typcically 4-6%, the average gas station had a profit margin of 5 cents per gallon last year. Oil wholesalers also have thin profit margins - Exxon's most recent margin was $0.003 (that's one third of a cent) per gallon.


The government is far more effective at taking your money. The average tax on a gallon of gas is $0.481.

Yeah i guess if the sun dont shine ,and your coffee maker breaks its somehow the presidents fault!

Ill do my speaking at the polls!:argue:

[bigdhasmoney]

I think it'll go down after the election. It'll make the new president (lol) look good. He'll say i'll lower gas blah blah blah and yeah it'll go down :)

[MrBluGruv]

I think we just broke $4 a gallon for premium here. I wish it were still only like $1.75 :/

[cshorts]

Still can't catch us north of the border, although you guys are putting up a good fight. Price here in my town went up $.40 a US gallon last Thursday just before Easter Weekend to top out at over $6.30 for premium (94). Because the price is in litres they think it doesnt hurt as much (divide the US gallon price by about 4)....premium is now down to just over $6.15 a gallon. We aren't even the highest prices around...places like Montreal and Vancouver are about $.20 a gallon higher than here....

Here is a price chart for avg Ontario prices....you know we are conditioned here to think a $1 a litre or $4 a gallon is cheap:(

Fawk! I hope 93 octane is a raffle prize this year, lol. :beer:

[F8LBITEva]

holy crap!

[Mercguy04]

It's The speculators on wall street, they buy futures and the price go's up.
It matter not to them, they are giving themselves million dollor bonus's.
With that kind of money rolling in, what's the problem.
It's the same thing as with the housing market back when the bubble burst.
No regulation. Things run amouck and no one to keep an eye on the store.
Look where we are now. If it is bad now, stop and think what will it be tomorrow.
Dem, Ind, or Repub, it make no difference they are all stealing from us and there
is certainly no over site there among those crooks. What is good for the goose is not
good for the gander. We are now a third world country. Protest all you want and it
makes no difference. They don't care. There making loads of money and we are not.
We need to kick some butt, but who's butt? I am off my soap box for now.
God Bless America and our Armed Forces, and LEO. When push comes to shove,
who is going to be directing the tanks that are facing our citizenry?

The way to get alot of the speculators out of the Oil Market is to make them prove they can accept shipment of the oil they are purchasing. In other words make them prove they have the storage capabilities to accept say 70% of their purchased contracts/shipments. This will knock alot of them out of the market and leave it to the real oil financiers and companies. Just my .02.

Interesting concept!

I'm wondering, though, with any commodity, how much of the speculated stuff ever leaves its storage space. I'm thinking it pretty well stays put wherever it is, and the only thing that changes is ownership.

A stable economy and a supply that exceeds demand will go a long ways to reducing the volatility of a speculative market.

[TAKEDOWN]

Just drive slower D00M, LOL!!!

[Mercguy04]

Seeing Dooms You Tube Videos, I don't think that is an option. :)

I agree.... stop the speculation and the prices will be lower.
