darn, that means gas will go up this week here too

 

[engineereeyore]

That's odd. Ours went from $2.20 to $2.16 here. Wonder why we went down and you went up?

I'm in Utah by the way.

SVTCobra just bought another SVT Cobra. Hence gas shortage. Bastage!

Doubt it but it will probably be corn (ethanol) that drives the price up and not the actual price of a barrel of oil.

Since the government has mandated that ethanol be mixed in with gas, that has caused an increase demand for corn which has raised the price of corn which raises the price for what we pay at the pump.

Where are you?

We hit 1.99 for a few days a month or so ago. Didn't last long though. Back up to 2.49 or so currently. SE WI.

Same in madison, thank goodness I walk to work

And over here in La Crosse, too. It hit $1.99 and then like a week later it was already up to $2.25 or so. It's back up to $2.45 right now.

No, it was announced in November for a goal in 2007.

You got laughed out of P&N for this stuff and now you come over here? By your own data prices went down 40-60 cents between 2/16 and 2/20. So what's the real reason you're so pissed off?

Suppose you drive 1000 miles at 20mpg. Reasonable for a vacation. no? That's 50 gallons. You're saying you can't afford the extra $30-35? Stop posting at ATOT and earn a few extra bucks, problem solved.

Try crossing the border to the north and filling up. ~ $0.97/liter which at 3.78 liters/gallon is around $3.60/gallon. Although i suppose to be fair, converting to USD would make it closer to $3.10

Oil futures jumped due to the cold weather in the midwest/east coast due to the demand for heating oil.

And in all fairness, the OP is still paying less per gallon than what those of us on the west coast have paid in about a year.

I think it has something to do with the fact that your every doomsaying prophesy never comes true. You've been saying "Drive for Five" for at least 2 years now. You said late last summer that oil prices would never fall below $70/barrel again, a week after that they fell below $70 and haven't gone back above since. Etc. Then there's the fact that you live in the part of the country where gas prices are cheapest.
In short, whiners who do nothing but whine become part of the problem, and we wish you'd stop whining.

Some one sneezed and our economy freaked out and went to sh it. Personally I am pretty sick of this, especially when a week or two later there is a report that the rise was based on nothing. Our economy is so fubar the littliest things cause it to freak out.

an increase in the demand of heating oil due to heavier winter conditions in the northeast is 'nothing'?
