Looks like gas stations are resistant to hitting the $4 point

Dear Congress,

Do you think the American people are dumb enough to believe the demonization of the oil companies when you make more per gallon of gas sold through taxes than the oil companies do through profit without putting in any work into the production of that gas?

Yeah, I guess they are.

Sincerely,

An American who thinks it's time Congress stops preventing us from producing domestic energy.

Yes, a stop-gap measure that will bring more domestic oil online in 10 years is the answer, not reducing our addiction to oil and other non-renewable resourcces :roll: Leave one of the last un-messed-up places in the country alone, lets figure out a real solution other than the usual short sighted one.

Now it's about as expensive as milk. Not surprising, really. I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner considering all of the processing it has to go through.

It has become more expensive than milk

Trader Joe's milk is $3.50/gallon
Gas is $4/gallon, $3.89 if you're willing to search out those rare stations around here

When I visited South Arizona a month ago gas was still $3.30, man, how cheap!

I don't see a problem with JDub02's solution as long as we put a parallel effort into finding a "real" solution. You say let's figure a solution but do you honestly think that'll be anytime in the near future?

Actually, OPEC will hand YOU the jar of vaseline. "Pure petroleum jelly" anyone?

There is no way a gas station is going to sacrifice profits just to stay below the 4.00 mark.

Its been over 4.00 in California for a while now.

Start with the tax breaks given to oil companies and reallocation that $18B towards finding a solution

Great idea Einstein! This way the oil companies will pass on their increased taxes to us! I love it.

I can't believe people seriously think this way. :roll:

I remember when I first started driving gas was around .80 cents /Gal. I really miss those good old days.

lots of older stations can only go up to 3.99 without being revamped. they will soon sell in half gallons and just double the price when you check out

They should take a hint from the ice-cream companies and sell 3 quarts of gas for the same price as a gallon. I'm sure nobody would notice!

Edit: Gas is $3.55 a gallon here in SW Missouri.

Heh, funny how we all called McOwen crazy for predicting 5$/Gallon.

uhhh didn't he predict drive for 5 like 2 years ago? i've never driven for 5, or even 4 yet.

Yes he did, and people called him crazy saying it would never go above 3$. We hit that, we have hit 4, and unless something drastic happens chances are we will hit 5. In the end he was right on this issue.

 

[CorCentral]

Maybe when it hit's $7.00+/gal the Car companies will actually try to invest in building more FUEL EFFICIENT vehicles instead of giving incentives to those who want to buy GAS GUZZLERS!

I'm hoping for the day!

 

[revnja]

We hit four more than a month ago. I think regular is at $4.22/gal.

In Alaska of all places.

Dear Car Manufacturers,

Stop sucking the oil companies balls and give me some affordable car choices that don't rely on gas.

Sincerely,
Joe Blow

Everything is reliant on oil right now, more or less, including the distribution and processing of milk, so expect all food to go up soon as well.

Cows also eat corn

 

[bobsmith1492]

I remember paying $.60/gallon for gas once upon a time and I'm only 22...
