First and foremost the "glut" of oil largely has been drawn down.
Next you have the economies of Europe, USA and elsewhere in world expanding and or otherwise recovering nicely from the havoc of credit/financial crises that brought about recessions (if not depressions) all over the world. And there is OPEC, remember them? www.reuters.com/article/u... |

Ours went up the other day to $1.30 cdn liter.. $3.86 US gal. What pisses me off is the last time it was this high a little over a year ago a barrel of oil was around $105... It dropped down half yet the pump price never did.. and now that the barrel has creeped up a little but still nowhere near $105, the pump prices are going back up there

I wish we could catch up with the rest of the world and have prices in the $5.00 per gallon range, the amount of unnecessary driving people do is ridiculous, I see people sitting in their cars all the time with the engine idling, driving too fast and worst of all buying dangerous fuel wasting SUVs, we need a serious shakeup for sure.
Higher gas prices would be about the best thing that could happen for the health of people and the planet. John L. |

It's also about the time stations switch from winter formula to the more expensive one for summer. I saw stations today about $2.75/gal. Last I bought I got for $2.39. |

Not just alcohol, but ethanol that screws up all small engines unless you keep the Stabil in it all the time. I buy pre-mixed gas by the quart for $6 bucks a can and my weed wacker starts the first pull. I always do end of the season treatments on my mower and snowblower. People that dont treat their boat motors always run into trouble here.

I don't know if it's just ethanol, or if there were other factors instead or in addition too... But I remember a mechanic telling me about 8 years ago how problematic gas had gotten in our area. He was seeing a lot of customers needing fuel filters replaced. And he warned me that he didn't feel that gas lasted as long in a car's gas tank as it had. I think his time line was a month of storage or less. Not that one would have gas sitting that long if one drove regularly--but a month of a car being idle is a real possibility if someone went on a long enough vacation. |

The cheapest unleaded reg is the Mobil Station on my corner, $3.499 a gal, it was $3.239 about 8 days ago, went to the current price about 4 days ago and has stayed there. The Chevron Station near where my husband works, unleaded reg is $3.799, 5 days ago it was $3.659.
And I agree, I hate gas cut with ethanol, it dramatically reduces MPG. Union 78 gas cuts their gas the most. I have kept a notebook in the car for over 40 years to record my MPG, I got into the habit when I had a 67’ Buick Skylark that had no functioning fuel gauge for about a year. By recording the gas I bought, how many mile I’d driven and the MPG I always knew how much gas I had and never ran out. Anyway, this is why I know Union 76 uses the highest ethanol ratio, because whenever I get gas there the MPG is always about 2 MPG or more less MPG. I know that the ethanol is supposed to pollute less, but seems like if you have to use more gas for the same MPG, its 6 of one and half a dozen of another. The abundance of huge SUV’s and PU’s with usually only the driver and no passengers is so selfish and wasteful. Not only are they polluting more, they are using more of a fuel source with a limited supply. And they contribute to heavier urban traffiic simply because they take up more space. Every time the cost of gas goes down consumers begin buying gas hogs. Then the price of gas goes up and they complain. Oh well. Eddie |

That gets me, too. Of course, I recognize that there are people who do need a SUV or truck, and they won't necessarily be using 100% capacity at all times.
But there seems to be many people out there who drive such vehicles for no good reason whatever. And I bet a lot of these people are types who whine about "wasteful" public transit. "You think my big V8 SUV is bad?!?!? I just saw an empty bus!!!!!" (Yes, there are times a bus is empty. But at least in my area, the only way a route survives is if there is regular ridership.)

Sorry, but I have a full size Silverado as I need a truck that can plow right thru any snow bank, take or haul, whatever etc. here where I am. Most of the time its only me. Once a month I fill the tank and even though its 5 years old now, I havnt hit 14,000 miles. It has an instant mpg button, best is 21.8, average is 18. I would have bought a smaller truck, but the same dealer I have been with since 1984 could not get me a Colorado when my 1995 Silverado would not pass state inspection with a rusted frame. Old truck was a V6 and got 10 mpg if lucky. This one is a 327 V8 and the instant fuel shut off system for 4 of the 8 does save gas but has alot more balls than my 350 V8 1981 Vette when you need power. I hate to drive anymore after documenting over 2 million miles since legally driving in 1969, I'd prefer to be the passenger from now on.

This morning the prices that were $2.69 on Friday night were $2.73. Maybe I will adopt the poor people's driving style of going 10 miles below the speed limit. |

Price here now is $2.75/9. Dow took another plunge today. Caterpillar said their recent performance of less than optimal for ivestors is their best projected performance. A tech. company also had lower than predicted earnings. |

But I suppose you could consider "old age" a benefit if you drive as little as I do. 16 years ago when I first moved from Northern to Southern California I was everywhere...LA, San Diego, Venice, even Algodones Mexico. Now I rarely go farther than the grocery store. My retired next-door neighbors have hybrid cars. I visit the gas station much less than they do. All 3 of my vehicles have V8's so with today's prices I guess I'm fortunate to be able to stick close to home. Fortunate too that I don't care to travel anymore.
This one's 53 years old and I put 3 or 4 gallons in every 6 months.

Similar here. My 4 cylinder Solara is 18 years old and has yet to reach 100,000 miles. I use about a tank of regular gas a month to get to and from Metro station, grocery store, etc. |

My 2007 Honda Civic is 11 years old now, I bought it new and I’ve owned this car longer than any other of the 23 cars I’ve owned since 69’. It has 57,000 miles on it and I put about 10 gals of gas in it every 3 to 4 weeks. I do very little driving anymore, which is fine with me. I used to really enjoy driving, I would have driven to the bathroom if I had a ramp to it! But the traffic around here is so bad now. Too many people, with too many large vehicles, that they own for vanity, not actual need for work, ect. And too many distracted drivers texting and talking on their phones. Now I drive David to and from work 3 to 4 days a week, a 6 mile round trip, but he is going to retire soon, so I won’t need to do that anymore. I drive to the store on Friday to buy our groceries for the week, and the 10 miles Kaiser every other week for allergy shots. I try to walk everywhere that I can. We also go out window shopping, ect., usually once a week. Neither one of use are big on driving anymore. I guess we’ve turned into bonafide “geezers”.
I still do enjoy a nice drive on the many country roads in our county, especially on the coast. Thats where I learned to drive and I love to drive on winding roads. To me that is a joy! We’ve been married since 81’, and with the exception of one month in 85’ we’ve always gotten along fine with just one car. As things stand now I can't see myself ever buying another car. My little red Civic is dependable and a pleasure to drive. It still looks and drives like new, no need to buy another. Before I retired I used to buy an new car every 2 years on the average. It was my incentive to drag my ass out of bed everyday to go to work, LOL. I sure wish I had all the money back that I wasted on all these cars. Eddie |

Fill-up this morn (1/8 tank remaining per gauge), $25.63, 10.421 gal, calculated MPG 41.819. Marquee at the store had $2.489. Pump registered $2.459. Reported MPG from work to store 27.x. Store to home 80.3. MPG Varies widely on individual trips/legs depending on factors -- how much charge in the HV batteries, traffic, stoplight timing, etc. |

You know - we're going to be dealing with this until we accept that the US solution of mass-transit only for stinky people is not a good solution. I never drive less than 1000 miles/month. These prices are just the cost of living in a country where people vote for the 'capitalist' without grasping just exactly what capitalism is. I've already heard the first 'this is Obama's fault' comments in line at the local station. |

It’s $3.559 a gal for reg unleaded today at the Mobil station on the corner near us. It was $3.499 on Mon when I last filled up, and its been going up every day since. And this is the cheapest gas around here. The Chevron station near the hotel my husband works at it $3.799 a gal for reg unleaded. And we have several refineries within 50 miles or less from here. California always has some of the most expensive gas.

Yesterday the price for a gallon of regular went up 10 cents at the WAWA from $2.73 to $2.83. Having a 4 cylinder that uses regular and has long been paid for is a distinct advantage. I have heard predictions of over $3.00 a gallon this summer. |

gas priced at $5/gal would be beneficial in the long run, it'd force efficiency (of course our moron 45 is trying to undo the upcoming CAFE regs) and force the macho fools in Avalanches and the like out of those useless things. Trades-people who have a real & legitimate reason to own F-350s should get a gas tax break as a business expense, but the poseurs in huge black 14 mpg trucks with bed covers that never come off need to get significantly hit with at least part of the real expense of driving such dumb & wasteful vehicles that contribute greatly to the multi-facted issues facing our environment...and next time, if provoked, as biologist I'll tell you how I really feel!
We're just anxiously waiting for a smallish electric passenger SUV/truck with decent range and some carrying capacity ala the Nissan e-NV200 that they've been selling in Europe for a few years now, that can be charged with our 4.5Kw solar array. Hopefully it will arrive here eventually, they'd sell a ton, I believe. |

Higher gas prices = time to start shopping for a new truck with a V8!!!
sometimes you have to take the higher price of gas as an advantage...… and some of us look forward to it.....once you realize what the price increase can do for you... if the price stays high long enough, people will start trading in their vehicles with a V8/6 engine....getting a very low trade in offer....as small 4-bangers will go up in price..... on the better side....dealers cant get rid of vehicles with a V8/6....so the price drops drastically.... the prices will drop by November's election..... |

Just took a road trip to Michigan to visit family and I was surprised at the range in prices. My 18 Chevy Equinox got great gas mileage, 30.5 mpg average. Did the 550 mile one way trip on 1 1/4 tanks of gas. But I paid anywhere from 2.79 here in NJ, (and they pump your gas) , 2.99 in Ohio, and 3.15 in PA on the way back. I also noticed the range in prices at exits along 80 in PA, some as much as .20 cents a gallon.

-- House Republicans want to impose financial penalties on states that don't approve offshore drilling for oil and natural gas. s2.washingtonpost.com/784f57/5b2...">Dino Grandoni reports : “The draft proposal, which will be discussed at a hearing of the House Natural Resources Committee on Thursday, says that states will be allowed to disapprove of drilling offshore in up to half of the lease blocks off its coast without incurring a penalty.” |

I think they are on the way back up. There was an article on the front page today that our government is going to heavily penalize any government that buys oil from Iran and it was the extra oil that was anticipated from Iran that was supposed to help lower prices. |

If this regulation causes a hike in the oil price, we may be near recession. The yield curve is already starting to flatten. |

Gas was about 20 cents a gallon, so that would be about $3.00 today (two silver dimes) Honestly the price of gas isn't too bad. |

My friend is visiting from Phoenix. He just said gasoline is about $1.00 more here a gallon than where he lives. Summer additives along with taxes add to the price of California gas. Being a selfish oldster I don't care about gas prices. I do a tank fill about every 3 months with 2 V8 vehicles. I put 12 gallons in my 65 Buick Wildcat for a local car show yesterday. First time in 3 years. I realize how insensitive it is to say I don't care about fuel prices since many people have to commute out of the Desert for employment, some as far as Ontario or even Los Angeles and for those who use their cars to support their livelihood everywhere.
I'll add a few gallons around 2023...I should live so long.

Subway and surface trains here in Boston as well ("The T"). They've expanded the surface service (commuter rail) to some of the burbs with one line reaching west all the way to Worcester, +/- 45 miles. $2.299 locally but I was in Boston and saw $2.999 earlier today. Chuck |

$6.38 today. We had worse. For the price we get high quality roads, second best in the world as a matter of fact (in 2015).

two blocks away from us is even more expensive than the Mobil across the street, $3.619 per gal for reg unleaded. I think the only places in the USA with more expensive gas are Hawaii and maybe Alaska. We live in the Northern San Francisco Bay Area, in San Francisco and the South Bay Area its always at least another 10 cents more per gal.
I realize that in Europe its way more expensive. But its hard to reconcile that gas in other states are so much less than here. I’m lucky that I no longer need to commute, and only need to buy gas once every 3 weeks, about 10 gals. I drive very little any more. If David doesn’t need to work sometimes the car will sit for 5 days without being driven. In March it will be 12 years old and right now the odometer is just under 59,000 miles. I walk every where that I can, better for my health, and the environment too. Eddie |

Crude oil prices sank to $47 a barrel yesterday. An overlooked positive of the oil glut and resulting drop in prices is that most of Russia's legitimate economy is based on oil. |

and watch the prices jump up over a dollar or more per gal. I filled up on Wednesday at a local Arco station and paid $3.359 per gal for reg unleaded. And this is one of the cheapest prices around. There is a Chevron station about a mile away from the Arco and its $3.799 per gal for reg unleaded.
