...today in my little dodge V6. The toll was $62.43 and thats for about 20 gallons of regular.



Let's see what AP has to say. My comments in highlight in quote:


Gas Price Hikes to Ease, Government Says

Never in any suggestion by the government about easing pain at the pump involve cutting the almost 40 cent tax per gallon.       



By H. JOSEF HEBERT




WASHINGTON (AP) - Motorists can expect an easing of the recent gasoline price surge in coming weeks, with costs averaging about what they did last summer over the heavy vacation driving season, the government said Tuesday.


    Oh boy, I'm gonna celebrate.   


The Energy Department predicted that the average nationwide cost of regular-grade gasoline would likely peak at $2.87 a gallon in May, up only 7 cents over the average last week.



Prices for regular gasoline has soared since January, increasing by 64 cents a gallon on average nationwide during the last 10 weeks. The nationwide average was $2.80 cents a gallon last week with the fuel at more than $3 a gallon across much of the West Coast.

The summer fuels outlook, released Tuesday by the DOE's Energy Information Administration, said the price of regular-grade gasoline is projected to average $2.81 cents a gallon through the summer driving season, or 3 cents lower than last year.

Fuck you you lying bastards.       


The EIA said that the recent price surge was attributed to higher crude oil prices, unplanned refinery outages and an increase in demand as well as a decline in gasoline imports.

"The rapid rate of price increase is projected to slow over the next few months," said the EIA, the government's energy statistical agency.

It said that the price of crude oil is expected to average $65 a barrel over the summer because of "tight oil markets and continued international uncertainty" including tensions involving Iran.



When will that change?       

The spot price of crude oil was $61.74 per barrel Tuesday on the New York Mercantile Exchange.


Can I have some lube?       
The Iranians are getting rich from the high oil prices from the tension they are creating. Wherever it is that the Iraq oil money is going to ( not really talked about much here in America ), well surely those people are getting rich.

I would just to take the opportunity to apologize for being emphatic that this ME war was not for oil.
Obviously I've been mistaken.

We use oil to back the dollar.  The fact that the dollar is not used by a lot of OPEC nations in oil transactions anymore makes the dollar weaker everywhere, and Oil more expensive here.

Iraq - starts accepting other currencies - attacked by US
Venezuala - starts accepting other currencies and goods - failed coup backed by US
Iran - starts accepting Euros instead of exlusively dollars - Administrative/Media hype about attacking Iran.

Only time will tell.

Not to mention the Big Oil Companies always like to raise the prices around Labor Day/Summer and blame it on a refinery problem.

Hmm...

20 Gallons = 75.7 Liters
Over here it's 0.95p (Avg) per Liter
That's about £72 quid for 20 gallons.

Over here 20 gallons would've cost you $142

We have it worse, at least according to my rudimentary maths.

I sold my truck almost 6 years ago because I thought gas was outrageous then.  I traded that in and got my Eclipse.  I also don't drive much.  I will have had the Eclipse for 6 years this May, and have just barely hit 53K miles.

During the warmer weather I also ride my bike to work 2-3 days a week.  It gets my butt some exercise and can end up with some pretty nice savings on gas...which I promptly spend on whiskey and beer.

Relative.  How much do you drive?  How long does that  75.7 liters last you?

Yeah, or instead of ditching a good car we could spend money on worthwhile research like biofuels and hydrogen fuels.

Since he lives near me, he'd better watch out once I start to drive... Some day I may just take him down with me!

Holy crap, that's expensive. Is that current? Also, why is diesel cheaper than regular? Here it's between premium and ultra.

yeah, good luck finding that in SoCal.  Or pretty much anywhere in the US outside Chicago, NY, or SF.
