The local full-service place dropped a dime to $1.99 last weekend. You may get lower gas yet.

Well $2.00 a gallon seems to work. When gas was $2.50+ a gallon they were making record profits. Should they be forced ?????? Your damn straight !!!! They force me to buy their monopoly and squash all alternative energy sources that have tried to come on-line to compete. If it wasn't for the green folks alternative energy wouldn't be a topic.
 
I'd impose price caps of $2.00 a gallon and threaten them if they falsely create shortages like in the past the CEO will be forced to resign and will face prison. I'd also threaten any of the Middle Eastern country's that wants to play hard ball that we won't intervene when a whack job wants to invade them.
 
Problem Solved
 
I'd have fair gas prices. It only takes a firm hand to get people to take you serious. Perhaps I should be the secretary of energy in 08'

In Amarillo, Dumas Tx.......Went to my union meeting and $2.09 was plastered everywhere in Amarillo. I didn't see any $1.92 like my friends claim but of course I didn't travel very far inside Amarillo either.

Huge increase in oil barrel price? by imidazol97

Again like last week the stations all decided to raise their price 38 cents on Wednesday afternoon in Western Ohio.
 
Must have been a big increase in barrel price of oil. Strange they don't have fast drops in price llike this when the barrel prices goes DOWN. I recall a forum member criticizing me when I said prices go up and down in regular patterns here in this part of Ohio and it has to be due to control by a single or few companies. When I linked the or posted the graphs showing the almost weekly jumps, they had to become a believer.
 
Unbelievable.

"Strange they don't have fast drops in price llike this when the barrel prices goes DOWN."
 
Odd. When I go to gasbuddy.com for the Dayton area, and generate a chart of Dayton gas prices vs. the price of crude over the last six months, the biggest discrepancies I see are when the retail price of gas fell FASTER than the price of oil.....

I thought about buying gas yesterday morning for $1.85/gal on the way to work. Figured no, we haven't hit the bottom of the latest cycle yet. Guessed wrong, on the way home it was....$2.08/gal.

Wait - do you mean the SAME STATION went up 23 cents in One Day !!???!?!?!?!?!?
 
That does not seem possible. Surely you jest ?
 
If they did, now, THAT is "gouging" in the worst way. There is NO WAY his wholesale prices jumped 23 cents in one day. Not possible.
 
Something is awry......
 
Actually, according to stlouisgasprices.com, the average price in St. Louis DID JUMP by 10 cents today over yesterday....a 10 cent jump in one day? What????
 
Is there an oil embargo or shortage I have not heard about?
 
Someone ought to look into this situation !!!

Today's prices... by jae5

on my way to work:
 
Cracked the under $2.00 at a local Citgo: $1.97 for 87 but was with wash, $2.07 w/o
 
My usual spot was $2.049 for 87 as was the Speedway. Was shocked to see a local Mobil $2.059 yesterday/today. Even by work the price is $2.079 for regular the Shell.
 
Don't need to but am going to fill-up today before the prices rise due to the cold-snap coming this weekend.

The one local UDF/Mobile was $1.819 yesterday. By this morning it was $2.099. That's $.38 difference.
 
Most stations in the area were down to $1.81 and most jumped late yesterday to $2.19 for some unknown reason rather than jumping to $2.05 and $2.31 and $2.16; somehow they mostly picked the same new number... grin.
 
Already today many are down another whole $.10 to $2.099 and apparently some hotspots may not have risen much at all. I see a report of $1.87 at a BP and others. This is the second price rise in two weeks that didn't seem to take for the whole group to rise to the magical new number and stay there for at least 24 hours... like they usually stay.
