I took this picture today from my local station. Yesterday it was $3.41, my mother told me that nearby it is now $3.57. How far can it go up and how quick will it get there?

Sadly,the rest of the world has become aware that most Americans will pay whatever it takes, to get nicotine, caffeine, and gasoline.

Here in southern Oregon it is around $3.49 as of yesterday. Strange how the price jumps immediately when there is an increase in crude prices, but when those go down just as fast, the pump prices are slow to react.
 
Expect $4.00 by June 1st, maybe more. One of the "experts" on TV today was talking $6.00 gallon before year end. Ouch! May have to look at one of the electric cars soon.
 
I filled up at the Allsup's convenience store on I-20 in Cisco, Texas yesterday for $3.09/gal.. I filled up the previous Saturday in Ballinger, Texas for $2.98/gal. Filled our car two weeks ago for $2.85/gal.
 
One has to sit in wonder at why our Congress and President have not directed their concern and interest in any field such as the Bakken Formation in the Dakotas and Montana, or any other domestic reserve for that matter. We have long known that dilemmas such as we are now seeing in the Mideast are able to happen at any moment. Yet, our nation has kept its head in the sand and not moved forward on development of any other reserve or alternative. Why are Americans not clamoring for or demanding development? It makes me wonder what this country will do when calamity does strike within our borders.

The US Geological Survey has posted their findings on these domestic reserves and tells the other agencies we have the technology to extract the oil and natural gas from these reserves, but no one will push forward with it until "the Mideast runs out of their reserves". How short-sighted is this? What, besides greed, drives our government and it lobbyists? It is certainly not the best interests of the country that they seek. Sad state of affairs.

I try to console myself by remembering the prices of gasoline I saw in Europe in the early 1970's and know that it is what we are paying now.
We have been lucky for a long time.
 
Went to wallyworld today to return some universal fit parts (they didnt fit) for my gas grill. A 10 ounce block of chedder cheese, nothing fancy just Kraft....price per pound $8.49...the cost for this package was $5.30 for cheese...Kraft Chedder Cheese...unreal....it now costs for for cheese per pound then it does for a pound of Porterhouse steak, whats wrong with this picture???
 
If you look on that auction site...you will find gas siphon kits are selling like hotcakes...I suggest if you have an older vehical get a gas cap lock as you will see/hear of people filtering gas out of your car while your shopping...

If I just had not spotted this thread, I would have started one of my own. A local Hess station in my area had regular at 3.159 at 6:15 this morning. The price had jumped to 3.299 when I drove by the same station just after 12 noon. It seemed like every station that I passed jacked prices up 12-15 cents. I did not spot one gas station with a tanker filling the tanks at a possibly higher price. This is shaping up to be a bigger consumer rip-off than back in the summer of '08. I still have just over a half tank that I bought a week ago Wednesday at 3.019.

The local court system best not serve me with jury duty any time soon, if the perp is charged with a snatch and grab of beer and chips at the local gas station. I don't care if they had the perp on camera, I'd hang the jury.

Seriously...........legal price gouging like this undermines a communities normal sense of social values.
 
Brent crude closed at $111.36, U.S. crude at $97.46. Brent went over $120 this morning, Cushing terminal was $102 or 3 then backed down.
 
Paid $3.05 a gallon today here in Tucson and that is the highest price I've seen in the 5 years we have lived here. Over $70 to fill the F-150 and I wasn't even empty. FTR: That tank was all city driving and I got 16.5 mpg which is about average for the 5.4 L V-8. I gotta believe it's going higher and soon...arrrg!
 
I went to the doctor today at 1200 and it was $3.25 a gallon. I came home at 1400 and it was $3.29 a gallon. Up four cents in two hours!!!

My friend Foster Agblevor has a process that converts wood chips or any other biomass into bio-crude that will sell for $65 a barrel. It can be mixed with petroleum or refined by itself just like petroleum to make gasoline, home heating oil, diesel, etc.

DOE and USDA estimate that there's 130 billion tons of biomass available every year in the US, all renewable and carbon neutral. That's enough to make 5.2 trillion gallons of No. 2 diesel annually. We burn only about 64 billion gallons of diesel and 140 billion gallons of gasoline annually, so this technology, which is patented and proven, and about to go commercial, has the ability to more than replace the entire liquid fuel supply in the US.

Those guys in the Middle East can go eat their oil.

Google "fractional catalytic pyrolysis agblevor" and you'll find some amazing stuff.
