GAS...in your area again!!!

[satch]

With 40 billion in profits for 2007 why is it that Exxon hasn't paid it's fine for the Exxon Valdez oil spill? That was nearly twenty years ago and they still owe almost half of the 5 billion they were fined!

Because they "greased " the political wheels

Just to give you guys and girls a comparison we pay, on average, $1.35AUD a litre. This works out to $5.11 AUD for one of your gallons, which equals $4.56USD.
So I guess this means we win

I'd say it means you lose!!! You folks really ought to talk to somebody about that!!! That's waaay too much!!



Of course, we're heading there too...

With Easter and Spring break right around the corner prices are doomed. You Aussies and Europeans need a tea party type complaint. I guess with the next administration we will have more taxes on gas so we will be in trouble for sure.

moving toward $3.

Course with a 40% increase in the price of food in the past month, I guess the oil company's need to keep up.

Lafayette Indiana Sat A.M. $3.16 for regular

In mid December we traded in our 2 Dodge Vans for the Scion XB the wife drives.
Sold my Dakota outright for $2800 and I bought a 2000 Suzuki Esteem from a buddy for $3000.
I have put 6000+ miles on the Suzuki in the last 2 1/2 months . My mileage high was 51+ and a low of 39. Winter warm ups and the heater have dropped the winter mileage but a 45 MPG overall average beats the snot out of 15 MPG. 29000 miles this year will mean my fuel savings will be $3867 So I guess my car purcahse is paying off.
Hated to give up my U.S. made cars it just seemed unpatriotic but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. So each morning I gather my 300 lb frame up and put on my little car and drive the 38 miles to work and take it off when I get there. Its fun to drive and I love the 5 speed manual coupled behind that 1600 cc powerhouse of a 4 popper. So at least Exxon won't get that $3800+ of my money. They will probably have to raise their prices to adjust for the supply and demand changes

$2.95 now. I don't see everyone driving smaller and newer cars just so the oil companys can break their record. To say nothing of staying home.
Happy Easter

Friday -- 2/29/08
Light, sweet crude for April delivery jumped to a new trading record of $103.05 a barrel in Asian electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange before slipping back to $102.79 a barrel, up 20 cents, midafternoon in Singapore.

Recent rally in oil prices has been driven by the U.S. dollar's weakness and speculative trades amid geopolitical risks. Lower U.S. interest rates tends to weaken the dollar, and crude futures offer a hedge against a falling dollar.

The Japanese government on Friday urged the oil cartel OPEC to increase output to help ease record prices.

"The high crude prices are gradually damaging the global economy. This will damage the economies of oil-producing countries," Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Akira Amari said.

$3.27 for regular Diesel about $3.80

I heard on the news yesterday crude oil is so high because it is traded in US Dollars, and the Dollar is down because of deficit spending. If all that is true, can you imagine what will happen if either one of the current Demo candidates get into office with their promised give-away programs? Of course, they will get the additional money, they say, by doing away with Bush's tax cuts, which will in turn, hurt the economy. Sorry, but it does not look good to me folks.

[SteveH]

Sorry folks, it was not my objective to kill this thread too.

[Aaron Coffee]

Was 2.89 last week, haven't got gas since. I want to figure out how to do that with my wages, just raise them every week.

[ingvar]

Here in B.C. Canada in our area we are paying $1.15 per liter
which converts to $4.42 per U.S. gal.
Talked to my cousin in Sweden last week, converted to
U.S. $ 7.91 per gal.

[ChickenFoot]

Just about half the cost of gas is State and Federal taxes. Wait for the Dems to get in control of the main office and see what happens.
