Yep, I'll speculate, they are giving us shit gas. I'ts 2.65 in Wisconsin and only goes half the distance in my car too. There are places where gas isn't treated here, but now are great goverment wants to poison gas across the state. One way of not raising the taxes elsewhere, just buy twice as much gas. Use 2x's the amount-get2x's the tax.

Greed at it worst. I received an email last week asking that you do not buy Exxon/Mobil gas, saying that you can't ask people not to drive but if you boycott the biggest oil co out there that their prices will have to come down and the the other companies' will have to follow suit. if enough people were to do this it would work. The email also suggested you don't buy Exxon/Mobil until the price gets down to $1.30 gal

By getting the gas prices to go through the roof? That's an interesting question. \nThey said on the news today that Americans will not even consider buying a more gas-efficient car before the price of gas hits $3.5 per gallon... So I'm not sure that what's happening is really going to help.

Most anylists are predicting that the currrent price is the peak for the summer and that may drop slightly before the end of summer.\n\nFor info on finding cheap gas go to:\nhttp://www.gasbuddy.com/

They are but prices for gas right now are through the roof. Try at least $3.50 for a gallon of gas. Everything is more expensive. There are a lot of locals who don't like tourist/ military here.

There is none, if inflation had followed suit with everything else clothes, food, building supplies etc.It would be over 3 dollars a gallon.The problem is people actually give idiots like micheal moore and al fraken credibility, its uncanny!!!!They have both been proven to be liars.One of the biggest reasons gas prices increase is simply speculative theory!! we went to war for humanitarian reasons, those people want us there they were under dictatorship. clinton sent soliders into Bosnia in 98 and knowone had a problem with that, it was for humanitarian reasons or so we thought.The real problem a lot of people have with this is the time its taking but you cant put a time frame on something like this.

I'm sorry this question is too mundane for me but I will answer it even though I will still get the two points anyway! If we look forward to the USA war machine to grind to a halt because of gasoline what do you think will happen to us?\n\nI guess you didn't have time to think about that did ya? Or course not when they run out of gasoline then we will be next. Everyone needs gasoline to move around from place to place. Now if you are only saying this because you want the war to stop then that is a different story but fat chance on that ever happening because they keep reserves for that kind of problem. Believe me the military is well prepared for the they double up on everything and I do mean everything.\n\nUnderstand we are all in the same boat together when it comes down to the price of gasoline and trust me the military is having there share too. But to be honest with you, I really think you should have thought this question out much more thoroughly before you presented it to us. Because you my friend are just speaking with giving a reason of intellect.

That is only 2 questions...lol.  It is hard to say because it depends on where you live--and with gas prices having gone up, nobody really knows what to expect.  My gas bill is approx $75 a month, right now, but where I lived last year, it was at least 220.00.  Again, it depends on what your income and expenses are.  If it is tight every month, but you want a vacation, then you have to give up on all other entertainment and save, save, save--for me, typically--i figure out what my entertainment budget is based on what is left over after everything else

I think we will probably see gas go to $3.75 a gallon this summer.  I drove to New York this past weekend and a gallon of regular gas was $2.80 and super was $3.05 (Ultra was $3.11)   I really feel sorry for all those people with their super big SUV's.  I think that as long as we keep on making these large cars that are like houses on wheels and keep paying to fuel up the prices are not going to come down...  just think what will happen if Iraq gets sanctions imposed on them by the west....

Nationally, the average per gallon price for regular gasoline is $2.50.\n\nAre gasoline prices high? That's not the best way to ask that question. It's akin to asking, "Is Williams tall?" The average height of U.S. women is 5'4", and for men, it's 5'10". Being 6'4", I'd be tall relative to the general U.S. population. But put me on a basketball court, next to the average NBA basketball player, and I wouldn't be tall; I'd be short. So when we ask whether a price is high or low, we have to ask relative to what.\n\nIn 1950, a gallon of regular gasoline sold for about 30 cents; today, it's $2.50. Are today's gasoline prices high compared to 1950? Before answering that question, we have to take into account inflation that has occurred since 1950. Using my trusty inflation calculator (www.westegg.com/inflation), what cost 30 cents in 1950 costs $2.33 in 2005. \n\nIn real terms, that means gasoline prices today are only slightly higher, about 8 percent, than they were in 1950. Up until the recent spike, gasoline prices have been considerably lower than 1950 prices.\n\nSome Americans are demanding that the government do something about gasoline prices. Let's think back to 1979 when the government did do something. The Carter administration instituted price controls. What did we see? We saw long gasoline lines, and that's if the gas station hadn't run out of gas. It's estimated that Americans used about 150,000 barrels of oil per day idling their cars while waiting in line. In an effort to deal with long lines, the Carter administration introduced the harebrained scheme of odd and even days, whereby a motorist whose license tag started with an odd number could fill up on odd-numbered days, and those with an even number on even-numbered days.\n\nWith the recent spike in gas prices, the government has chosen not to pursue stupid policies of the past. As a result, we haven't seen shortages. We haven't seen long lines. We haven't seen gasoline station fights and riots. Why? Because price has been allowed to perform its valuable function -- that of equating demand with supply.\n\nOur true supply problem is of our own doing. Large quantities of oil lie below the 20 million acre Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). \n\nThe amount of land proposed for oil drilling is less than 2,000 acres, less than one-half of one percent of ANWR. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates there are about 10 billion barrels of recoverable oil in ANWR. But environmentalists' hold on Congress has prevented us from drilling for it. \n\nThey've also had success in restricting drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and off the shore of California. Another part of our energy problem has to do with refining capacity. Again, because of environmentalists' successful efforts, it's been 30 years since we've built a new oil refinery.\n\nFew people realize that the U.S. is also a major oil-producing country. After Saudi Arabia, producing 10.4 million barrels a day, then Russia with 9.4 million barrels, the U.S. with 8.7 million barrels a day is the third-largest producer of oil. But we could produce more. Why aren't we? \n\nProducers have a variety of techniques to win monopoly power and higher profits that come with that power. What's a way for OPEC to gain more power? \n\nI have a hypothesis, for which I have no evidence, but it ought to be tested. If I were an OPEC big cheese, I'd easily conclude that I could restrict output and charge higher oil prices if somehow U.S. oil drilling were restricted. I'd see U.S. environmental groups as allies, and I would make "charitable" contributions to assist their efforts to reduce U.S. output. Again, I have no evidence, but it's a hypothesis worth examination.

Market forces my behind. The price of crude is still dropping while the price of gas is creeping up again. Are people really trying to say the price of gas dropped seventy five cents after labor day because the summer driving season ended? Get real. The oil industry is globally manipulated and further down the chain manipulated by everyone who can manipulate it. Every oil company dumps their gas into a common pipeline and then pulls it out somewhere else along that pipeline. Exxon-Mobil, Citgo, Chevron...it's all the same gasoline. They each add some ingredients to try to distinguish themselves from one another with whatever they claim their gas does to enhance your engines performance. Think there's no manipulation? What happened to the oil shortage from thirty five years ago?

Economists believe motorists will alter the way they drive once the average gas price moves to between $3.50 and $4.00 per gallon.\n\nThere won't be a mass revolt.  But people will continue to get upset.  Our elected officials will call for investigations.  And our leaders will be forced to seriously look at alternative fuels.\n\nIf our elected officials tamper with the price of oil and, the move to alternative fuels will slowed.  \n\nIf we truly want to embrace alternative fuels, then the market must lead us there.

vote... all this middle eastern saber rattling is driving the prices sky high...\n\nhe obviously doesn't have money to invest in "alternative fuel" vehicles... what are you people smoking?

Not Totally. I Hear Everyone Complaining about the High Cost of Gas. I've Found a Way to Convert Regular Pump Gasoline into Propane.My Unit is Safe, Compact, and Uses Low Pressure Air to Do It. But, it's Illegal to Put on Any U.S. Vehicle Made From 1996 to the Present, even if Fuel Economy is Improved, and Emissions are Lowered.That's the EPA-OBD-II Vehicle Inspection Law.We Can Thank The Clinton Administration for That.If a Vehicle Does Not Emit Enough Pollution, It Will Fail Inspection, and be Illegal to Drive! This is Insane! I've Been to the US Patent Office and Looked at Patents Kept Off The Market. Case in Point, the Pogue Carburetor, Which is On File as Having Achieved 100 + MPG With a Flathead Ford V-8 That Normally Got 15 MPG!All OBD-II '96 ^ Engines are Set To Run 14.7 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel.My Vaporizer Does 100 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel, With an Actual Increase of Engine Power, and Longer Life. 50 + MPG With even the Largest SUV! And, It's Illegal! If I'm Wrong, then How is it That Engines DO Run On Propane? To Do So Legally Requires the Use of a Large, Cumbersome, Expensive Tank Cylinder, Which must be hauled with the Vehicle, Expensive Metering Equipment, and the Added Hassle of Having to Refill the Tank.So Much Hassle that even with Gas Going Back to $3.OO Per Gallon, it's Just Not Worth the Hassle!Again, I've Heard it Over and Over Today, and Tonight, People Complaining About the High Cost of Gas. Know What? All Petroleum is Essentially the Same on a Molecular Level. Only the Dispersal is Altered. But The OBD-II Law, that Applies to the Vehicle That You are Driving Can't be Altered! Most People I Try to Explain This To Don't Want to Hear It, But They Still Complain About the High Cost Of Gas. I'd Like to Fix Up Older Vehicles Converted to Vapor, and Donate Them to The Meals On Wheels Program, Volunteer Veterans' Services [We Owe Them So Very Much!] Homeless Shelter Assistance Centers, and Many Other Worthwhile Charities! See, Greed has Stopped This Every Time! Now, The OBD-II Law. So, No, I'm Not "Happy Tonight"!

Gas/Oil everytime anything happens anywhere prices go up.\n\n\nGuy 1 "sir a mouse farted in Juarez"\nGuy 2 "raise the price of fuel now!!!"

This seems to be the general consensus:\nBecause gas companies are trying to make money. By throwing that extra 9/10ths of a cent on the price it sounds 1 cent cheaper yet it is close to being 1 cent more. Say for instance that gas is $1.00 9/10ths per gallon (which is truly 1.009 per gallon) This is very cheap for gas but it will prove my point. Now if you bought 1 gallon, it would cost you $1. Now if you by 2 gallons you would expect it to cost $2. But it cost $2.02 because the 1.009 and the other 1.009 added give you 2.018 which in money rounds to 2.02 So by doing this the gas company is making two cents. This may sound like a small amount but most people buy more than 2 gallons and the .009s added up to make more cents. So if you bought 20 gallons of \ngas at $1 per gallon it would end up costing $20.21 roughly. For the millions of people buying gas this extra money turns into thousands of dollars. You may ask why not just make it $1.01 per gallon instead of $1.00 but this would make it sound like more money than!it is. It is just like stores charging 9.99 instead of 10.00. Nine \nsounds a lot better than ten and the same applies to gas companies. Its just the \ngas companies sneaky way of making more money.\n\n\nNOTE: despite my source, I don't think this was a stupid question.
