Gasoline prices

Ted Campanelli said:

the oil reserves yesterday, I wonder who is pocketing all the money ?
It sure isn't the gas station

Don't kid yourself. These things bring out the best and worst in
people. The price gouging has already begun, one still working gas
station charging $6 gal.

ONLY, a "LITTLE" jump. Yesterday it was $2.79 a gallon. All

Since "Our Illustrious Leader", George Bush, decided to release some of
the oil reserves yesterday, I wonder who is pocketing all the money ?
It sure isn't the gas station

Don't bet on it, the guy operating the pump has the greatest control
over price... why is it there's such price disparity from one station
to another, even in the same town. It's okay with me that fuel prices
are rising rapidly, and just in time, we reallhy need to spur research
for a brand new fuel source... too many of yoose morons actually
believe oil is a bottomless barrel. At today's consumption rate there
won't be a drop of crude in 30 years... children born today will very
likely never drive an autombile, never fly in a plane, certrainly never
see a space shot, won't be any, certainly none as we know them.
Instead of [censored] about gasolene costs buy stock in bicycles and sail
boats. Btw, "Our Illustrious Leader" has been dealt one of the badest
presidential hands in more than 50 years and I think he's doing a great
job, as good as any and better than most... he may not be the greatest
thinker but at least he's thinking with his big head, not his small
head like the last one, that friggin' delusional goober brained sow
chaser.

Don't forget the commodity brokers - of course they're not getting a piece.

Don't forget about the SUV Tax break.

Its just what we need - Soccer Mom in her 8,ooo pound ( 4 ton) tank aiming down
the road with a cell phone in one hand and a $5.00 starbucks in the other.

By US standards those rolling coffins are not cars.

And duel fuel electric cars don't cut it, not if ya burning fossil fuel
to make the electric.

You can get Insights and Priuses and others. I just bought a
Prius. Good timing, I guess.

And in ten years of driving you'll just about break even on the extra
purchase expense.

Unfortunately, all of the new US hybrids scheduled to be marketed in the
next few years are designed for NO additional fuel economy. They're being
optimized for high acceleration because "that's what Americans want".

A better question would be why people buy from the higher-priced station.
If the lemmings go there, why not take advantage of it?

Meanwhile, the higher price means that alternatives are getting more
competitive. The faster the price rises, the earlier we can move to other
sources. It's not in the oil companies' long-term interest to let the price
get so high that they lose customers to those alternatives.

That's fine if you can afford to buy an Insight or Prius. I can't. I bought
a 2005 car that was supposed to get 30 mpg on freeway which is 95% of my
driving. I'm lucky to get 22 mpg. I had the dealer check it out a few weeks
ago and was told that there was nothing wrong with it, nor did it require any
adjustments. :-(

That's something I scratch my head over. There is a huge disparity from
station to station here in Phoenix, often on 3 corners of the same
intersection, yet the 2 with the higher prices are just as filled with
customers as the cheapest one.

I won't drive out of my way for cheaper gas because I lose the advantage if
I do. However, I know specifically where I can get the lowest price and
make a point of filling up there.

We were still able to fill our tank with $2.91 gas tonight. But at the
other end of town, all the stations are selling it for $3.14. Over $30 to
fill the tank of a little Neon. Sheesh!

Imagine an Exposition with a 40 ton 18 wheeler on your tail! It's all
relative and it's driving skills that safe your ass, not mass. 😉
