Replying to: wlbrown9 (Apr 24, 2009 9:16 am) I don't expect to see $3/gal, much less $4/gal, in 2009. Maybe $2.50/gal, on average, but guess we'll have to see where the economy is headed. |

in NorCal is $2.30 for RUG, and I do expect to see something close to $3/gallon this summer. But that should be manageable, speaking from a purely personal POV. As soon as we see the real estate market swing back up, consumer confidence will return quickly I think. At which point we are also ripe for $4 gas again.... ....will that be this year? It might be. If not we can look forward to a year at $2.00-2.75 (CA prices). I just hope it doesn't lull too many people into a false sense of security that gas prices will never spike again.

Replying to: snakeweasel (Apr 24, 2009 5:55 pm) I'm planning a short road trip in late July over to the coast and my concern is availability, not the price per gallon (within limits anyway....).

"The price of oil burst through the $71 a barrel mark today amid revelations that proven reserves had fallen for the first time in 10 years and predictions that the price could eventually hit $250. The febrile atmosphere in oil markets was fed by the publication of BP's Statistical Review of World Energy, which showed that the world's proven crude reserves had fallen by 3bn barrels to 1.258tn by 2008 from a revised 1.261tn in 2007." Oil price leaps to year's high (Guardian UK)

Replying to: fintail (Jun 11, 2009 8:40 am)  ) $33.41. Then the Intrepid hit me on 6/2 for $32.90. Then the Intrepid hit me again on 6/8, because I had gone to Carlisle and back the weekend before...$30.20. That same day, I filled up my blue NYer, and that one hit hard...$53.40!  The pickup hit me up for about $35 yesterday, and just today, I drove my 5th Ave and decided to fill up before prices shot up any further. That one hit me for $35.05. So damn...almost $220 in gasoline, in the course of about 11 days! I'm in pain! I wonder what fuel prices are going to be in a few weeks, when I take the Catalina to the GM show in Carlisle? It has a 26 gallon tank, so I might be able to fill up just before I leave, and not have to worry about it until I get back home. I'm kinda curious to see what kind of fuel economy it's going to get on this trip.
