I saw on the news that SUV's a still being bought. That's pretty stupid IMHO. Next summer we will have $4 gas again.

12/5/2008 11:36:52 PM

shit really needs to go up to like $8/gallon. Taxes on gas need to go up to.

12/5/2008 11:38:48 PM

Oil is nearly at $40 a barrel now, and reports indicate american consumption is still down despite lower prices.

It's closing in on $1 per gallon.

12/17/2008 5:14:30 PM

theyre tryin to get us back into our old habits, and then WAM .. 5 bucks a gallon

12/17/2008 5:16:11 PM

$1.45 today in waynesworld, va

12/17/2008 5:24:29 PM

The $2.99 gas guarantee is looking pretty silly right about now

12/17/2008 5:27:14 PM

now if only cigarettes were less than $2/pack, we'd be right back in 1994 all over again

12/17/2008 5:28:43 PM

I remember it being 0.79 at a station down the road when I had my permit


If i see it below 1.00, I'll shit bricks

12/17/2008 8:24:42 PM

I heard in a 60 Minutes interview with King Abdullah that, barring something catastrophic, Saudi oil will not fall too much farther than $55/barrel so prices aren't likely to drop much more


This was a couple weeks ago though, and I have no idea what barrel prices are now. So take that with a grain of salt sand.


$1

12/17/2008 9:29:48 PM

It was $47 at the end of trading yesterday. Of course, fucking OPEC cut production by 4.5 MILLION barrels today.

12/17/2008 9:41:37 PM

its at like 40 now

12/17/2008 9:43:47 PM

It'll take a few days before the cuts raise the price. How much it'll go up is anyone's guess, but it will go up.

12/17/2008 9:46:52 PM

so will gas start to go up now, or is just for the holidays and then start going back down?

12/17/2008 9:47:44 PM

$1.44 in knoxvilleeeee

12/17/2008 9:48:52 PM

^^^ Goddamn there is a lot of stupid in this thread.

Do any of you know how speculation and futures trading works? It means that oil news affects the price RIGHT NOW. The problem with OPEC's promised rate cuts is that they can't seem to enforce them, demand is still falling and inventories are still climbing despite OPEC's recent cuts.

OPEC's announcement was expected. If anything, oil is likely to continue to fall, perhaps to less than $30 a barrel before rebounding.

Wait, what? How would consumers respond to an INCREASE in the price of oil with more demand? That's retarded.

OPEC is kinda fucked. They face major budget shortfalls if they don't cut production, but lose market share if they do.

Oil is trading at less than $38 per barrel right now.

[Edited on December 18, 2008 at 11:18 AM. Reason : $38.02 rightnow.]

12/18/2008 11:13:22 AM

i hate going into a gas station that has regular @ 1.69 and midgrade @ 1.79 on the sign, then you go to fill up with premium and it's 2.09.

12/18/2008 1:56:28 PM

i know people who locked in when regular unleaded crossed the 4 dollar mark. literally bought up gas in 1000 dollar increments. HAHA HAHAHAHA

12/18/2008 1:59:06 PM

Hope you enjoy paying ridiculous prices for food. You do realize that crazy gas prices influence the trains and trucks, and ships that bring products to us?

12/18/2008 4:46:57 PM

yeah, $1.5X is easy to find here in goldsboro

High gas prices would encourage alternative energy research and development, carpooling, energy-efficiency, public transportation projects, and localized farming practices instead of huge agri-businesses, all of which would be beneficial to society.

Artificially low gas prices pave the way for a future price spike. Expect it in the next 5-10 years. It could get a lot worse than $4 a gallon.

12/18/2008 11:57:05 PM

With deflation it's not that huge a savings in real value vs. gas when it was higher.

12/19/2008 12:02:22 AM

^it is when salaries are not adjusted for inflation

12/19/2008 12:06:43 AM

a little over $33 today

12/19/2008 7:40:57 PM

16-18$ to fill up my tank. Good for 350-400 miles.

lol eco liberal? No i wouldn't say it's liberal. I think we need to tax gas more and spend that money on more intelligent things than single occupancy transportation.

Exactly. I mean we're sending billions of dollars to the middle east each year for our energy. Doesn't matter if you're liberal or conservative, that's just stupid.

I'm confused as to how crude oil prices specifically affect gas prices. I mean obviously if crude oil goes down significantly, so do gas prices and vice versa. But, is there a certain percentage it goes down per a certain drop in crude oil. I know its speculative to a point, but there has to be some sort of average. Like if crude oil drops $5.00 a barrel, then gas prices average a drop of $x.xx?

12/19/2008 9:26:16 PM

gas is going back down again

12/19/2008 10:07:27 PM
