I had $1.37 gas and replaced it with $2.19 gas and it looks like replacing it after this weekend is going to cost $2.53.

Expect fuel, food, and many other items to substantially increase in price in the coming months due to the reckless spending of the Federal Government. The dollar is slowly devaluing thus the foreign producers want more for their product.

This another reason we are staying close to home this summer :(. Luckily I was able to fill the MH tank with $1.91 gasoline last month. :B

Well, greed is alive and well. Gas went up another $.10 a gallon yesterday to $2.59. That's $.20 a gallon in one week. :E

There are MANY capped oil wells in AMERICA just waiting for HIGHER oil prices before they come back online.

Very true. Probably because it costs more to operate them than they produce in income when oil is $30 a barrel.

If you have some gold coins sitting in a safe deposit box, and you expect prices to go up, would you sell them now, or would you wait?

Might I suggest that you learn how to properly quote and reply instead of making it look like I posted your responses?

thanks,

mia culpa, sorry:S

And here I thought the price of oil was hanging around $60 a barrel.

Gee, what a difference overnight makes. Oil right now at $66.00+ and RBOB at $1.90+. No rhyme or reason other than, maybe greed?

I think the "rhyme and reason" is supply and demand. (reply) Watching CNBC this morning it appears that supply is greater than demand at this momment.

As for "greed", do you tell your boss "no, I don't want a raise"? (reply) While working, many times I told my boss at review time to give my raise to another worker who was hard working and did not make as much as I did.

Without the profit motive, we would have NO fuel. (reply) Then many here should STOP complaining about the prices dealers want for RVs. Is not the dealership allowed as much PROFIT as they can make?

Don't forget, our government (despite restricting oil) makes more "profit" than the oil companies do. At least the oil companies are supplying the product we want. That's more than the government does. (reply) There are MANY capped oil wells in AMERICA just waiting for HIGHER oil prices before they come back online.

Now up to $2.39. :R

Went up to $2.49 a gallon today. Was $2.32 a gallon at Sam's Club. Up $.40 a gallon in the past month. Another screw the consumer job. :E But at least it is still cheaper than last summer.:B
