Gas Prices “Just How High Are We Going?”

[MrKhay]

Crude oil prices are down today. Right around $100 per barrel.

Seems like sending Dick Cheney to rough up the Saudis wasn't such a bad idea.

I needed gas yesterday and was quite shocked when I was on the north side of town and saw they wanted $3.45 a gallon! I was pretty low in the tank but decided to go more toward our section of town and got lucky with $3.39.

Wow, did I say lucky?? I don't know how lucky $3.39 is since I paid out a total of $63.49 for a tank of gas! And it wasn't even on empty, just low. I have never in all my years of driving had to pay that much for a tank of gas!
Is this ever going to end??

Just saw this story. Possible $4.00 a galllon for gas soon?? Unreal.

at thoses prices, I can only afford to fill up twice!!!!!
and then where will I be?
I guess like everyone else, up that stinky creek with no way to mobalize out of there..

I think we need to cut our dependence ob foreign oil.

Now where did I hear that before?............... only every election since 1974!!!

As long as there is the use of the liquid there is no reason to even discuss the use of...

Now what was that all about you may ask...

Get better MPG units, or even better demand the invent of the electric vehicles...

Hook up solar and wind in your community...

WOW now that I think about it there is a huge list of thinks we could all do to go green...

Get ready for $8.00 per gallon soon enough...

$8.00 a gallon? I thought, yeah right when I read that.

But looking into it I did read that IF the rise of gas continues at the way it's been going this past year it COULD be up to $7.00-$8.00 a gallon by next Easter 2009.

There is no relief in sight since the fuel comes mostly from places that simply doesn't like us anymore. They can set the price and we have to pay it.

One would think that people would be in a panic to get rid of their larger SUV's, Vans etc.. but according to one article that has so far not really happened. People need to get their families around and so far they love their vehicles. They intend to cut costs elsewhere and not drive as much but simply not thinking in terms of going smaller.

That seems strange. I am wondering if we shouldn't try to get into a smaller car even though I totally love our 2007 van. What good is it if it sits in the driveway and you can't afford to drive it.

Very true PK...

If all would understand what the rest of the world pays for liquid at this time is that even Germany is now paying more than $8.00...

The status symbol is dead or soon to be... I personally have a major giggle when I see the gas hogs driving like maniacs by stomping on the peddle to make sure they are getting no where fast as they whine of the prices...

Who makes the car shreaders... Does anyone know...

If I could find out I could buy some of there stock as I may become a rich man...

Right! I am happy setting the cruise control to let everyone else go zipping by me. I get there in the same amount of time and I get decent mileage (22-26mpg) not to mention I am not on the a** of the person in front of me ready to cause a major accident cause some other fool cut them off, but this is a totally different subject

$4.03 in Sullivan this morning. Makes running rescue and rescue work very expensive

[pk]

4.09 today.

I heard we will never see anything less than $4.00 again.

The dream vacation of traveling out west through the Rockies to Washington and down the coast to California to see the Redwoods and back home again seems like it's getting further and further out of the picture.

Wish we did it last summer like I wanted to do. This summer? Camping in the back yard or in a campgrounds nearby.

Gas prices actually went down by 10 cents in Darien, WI the last few days.
Today's price is 3.959.
That's still about 70 cents a gallon higher then last year at this time.
Here are a couple of links to check out gas prices in the areas that you might be traveling to.

I noticed here in Kenosha yesterday (after the holiday weekend), gas went down a few cents. But today it's back up to $4.09.
