GT500-07 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Pump prices around $3 may look like a bargain by spring Gas pump prices that are around $3 a gallon now may seem like a bargain by the time your kids are on Easter egg hunts. Pump prices have risen nearly 9 percent since Dec. 1 and topped $3.10 a gallon this week. That's the highest level since October 2008. The price may rise or fall a little over the next few months, but analysts expect it to range between $3.20 and $3.75 gallon by March and April ahead of the summer driving season. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Higher-pump-prices-coming-apf-1797090788.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=5&asset=&ccode= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuickSilverShelby Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) In my home town gas ranges from $3.75 to $4.10 a gallon already. Taxes up here in Canada are pretty heavy on gas so if gas goes up a bunch this year we could tickle the $5.00 a gallon price. I know where I live, gas is pretty reasonable compared to the rest of the country. Oh well, I guess it's all part of life anyway. It just makes things so cheap when I head south. $3.00 a gallon gas seams like it's almost like it's free compared to what we pay. I guess it depends on perspective and I have been programmed to pay a bunch for gas.

This will in turn stall our nascent economic recovery later this year and next. Talk about a perfect storm going into next year's presidential election.

Stormracer Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) Today I just filled up with my premium non ethanol blend. It was $3.75 per gallon, so not terrible. But within reason, price of gas will not change my summer car activities one iota. Edited January 24, 2011 by Stormracer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebob948 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Yeah,damn those greedy oil companies--or for that matter any company that exploits the users. Take for example the gas prices in Saudi Arabia, 65 cents a gallon because they are sitting on the mother lode. Screw us here in Pennsylvania sitting on the Marcellus natural gas mother lode--bet you we won't be getting a big price break anytime soon.

Exactly. I don't understand all the dialog about gas prices! They are - what they are. You want it - you fill up and pay. Talk about something you can change? Like helping us save money with budget tips! Here's one: extinguish the Bong before bed. :happy feet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hawkins Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 A couple of weeks ago it shot up fast to $3.13 9 for Reg. at the station I go to and then this week it has started to drop. Yesterday, it dropped to $3.03 9 for Reg. As much as they change the prices, I still don't understand why they are still using the 9/10 of a Cent. Is there a reason for it?
