Stations by me jumped 17 cents last night from $4.79 to $4.96
Will certainly be over $5 for regular by Memorial Day weekend
I cant wait for a reasonably cost alternative to gas transportation over 30miles to be massed produced on epic scale.
We already have mass produced small cars that get 30+ mpg but they're smaller than SUVs, pickup trucks, and minivans.
I'd like to see more affordable hybrids, including economy hybrids that sell for under $15,000 and that get better mileage than the Prius. (The Honda Insight isn't too far off from the price at $18,000+, but it's mileage isn't all that amazing and does much worse than the more expensive Prius.)
Lying again. I bet you've demonstrably and indefensibly lied in at least a dozen posts in this thread. Is that a record?Stations by me jumped 17 cents last night from $4.79 to $4.96

I would like to see you fit just my wife and I, 2 kids, and the softball gear we need for a single game into one of those... Sometimes we bring our German Shepard to the park too, so add him as well.
We like big vehicles in this country because we generally need them. Not a life or death need of course but a need to keep our current lifestyles. That is why we continue to purchase SUVs, minivans, and trucks and will continue to do so.
Not really. What exactly is your lifestyle that somebody in Europe doesn't have, for example? They have kids and gear and crap they like to carry around. How many cars do you see with roof racks carrying something? I see damned few. this is anecdotal but as a kid I remember them all the time. In north america they are hens' teeth because we are able to carry entire houses in our vehicles. Most truck owners could carry what they need on the back of a trailer on average.We like big vehicles in this country because we generally need them.

This is the model we use. The car that we put 75% of our miles on is in its current tank of over 200 miles at 52.5 mpg, blend of city and country driving.Americans need options, each home should have acess to whatever thy want but most all need a high mpg commuter

At one point last week, the margins for wholesale gasoline sold in the Midwest were more than $1.20 a gallon, rivaling levels briefly seen after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The idea that refinery profits are keeping gas prices from falling lower could add fire to recent criticism over oil-company profits.
Doing that, WTRG calculated that the average U.S. refinery margin in January was 42 cents a gallon. By April it increased to 64 cents, a 50 percent jump. The first week of May it climbed to 78 cents, and the second week it has averaged 80 cents a gallon.
Gas up another 27 cents in Chicago, one refinery having issues is the excuse

Average gas prices in Wisconsin dropped 7 cents per gallon over the past week, with the state average hovering around $4.02. In Shawano, prices ranged early this week from $3.97 to $4.09, with the average price being $3.99, which puts the city below the state average but above the national average of $3.93.
Drivers should not expect the savings to last, however, according to Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for WisconsinGasBuddy.com.
He received a report Monday about problems with a Chicago refinery that could be driving up gas another 20 cents or more in the near future.
“In the Great Lakes, gas prices are up 27 cents a gallon,” he said.
“That is huge.”
DeHaan said he was telling other media outlets that prices had peaked for gasoline, but this new crimp could see prices reaching all-time record levels.
Ban this moron!

I just drove past several gas stations a few hours ago. Gas prices were between $3.73 to $3.77 per gallon.
