#2133 of 2183 A few data points... by andre1969 Aug 18, 2009 (5:36 am)
I filled up my '76 LeMans on Sunday, and 93 octane was still around $2.899. Filled up the Intrepid last night, with 87 octane, for $2.539. So, the prices are holding at least, and not creeping up like they had been. Replies to this message: nippononly (Aug 18, 2009 7:02 am)

Replying to: andre1969 (Aug 18, 2009 5:36 am) Gas jumped up $0.20/gallon a few weeks back for no apparent reason, and has now been holding steady for over a week in my area (at around $3/gallon). If the report above is true, we can expect a big drop in prices in about four weeks. But if prices stayed around $3 this summer, with falling consumption, high inventories, epic unemployment, and a raging recession, I would expect to see $4 again as soon as next summer....

Gas jumped up $0.20/gallon a few weeks back for no apparent reason, and has now been holding steady for over a week in my area   That happened here in Colorado as well - the only difference is that it started out at $2.19/gal and is now around $2.45/gal at my local station.

Replying to: michaell (Aug 18, 2009 11:40 am) Yeah, sounds about right, I take 47-state gas prices and add $0.50-0.75 to get NorCal prices usually....   Needless to say, they have it as bad as us or worse in Hawaii and Alaska, especially Honolulu.

Energy: We didn't hear the administration crow about it, but Brazil is about to get $10 billion from U.S. taxpayers to develop its offshore oil reserves. It's not a bad idea, but something's still wrong with the big picture.   Given how many ratholes our government could pour its money down -- wind farms, switch grass -- it's good to learn some cash is going toward something productive.   Last week, Spain's news wire reported that the U.S. Eximbank is raising its stake in Brazil's rich offshore oil fields to as much as $10 billion, from an initial $2 billion.   We should get it back IF they make money on the project. It does seem strange that we will subsidize drilling off the coast of Brazil and not the coast of CA or FL. Replies to this message: boaz47 (Aug 20, 2009 2:40 pm)
