If anyone blinked and missed it, the oil price has now passed $120 a barrel.

I'll say it again - oil was under $20 a barrel when the Coalition started bombing Afghanistan.

This is a direct consequence of the White House implementation of PNAC's impossible and utterly undesirable grasp at world domination.

about $3.60/gallon here in SE Georgia. Still no let-up in sight.







can you here the crickets chirping?

Wow, GB and that was only last Aug when you posted that. What are we at now €1.21 per litre?

I am glad that I am able to contribute to the record profits that the oil companies are making.

Go Shell and all you other big oil companies, keep on ripping us all off, we will just keep on taking it and continue paying what ever you want.:-5

$3.61 per gallon at Getty here in the Philadelphia burbs.

qsducks;858337 wrote: Has the average paycheck gone up in the UK too?


Company Directors have - and MPs of course, in fact everyone who votes in their own remuneration package :wah:

but the average paycheck has risen by less than inflation an so gone down in real terms.

It appears that the local average where I live(Northern midwest region of the US) will see an increase of gas prices of up to $4.00 a gallon...

Not good...

How long do you expect it to take for this doubling of gas prices you're predicting?? If that's in one year it would be extraordinary, if it's over the next ten years it's both inevitable and desirable.

$200 dollars a barrel by the end of the year?

Came across this while searching for a link to the above.

gmc;867644 wrote: $200 dollars a barrel by the end of the year?Snyder's gone rather further than that in his prediction. He's taking the current pump price and adding $4 a US gallon to that. The current pump price is based, presumably, on the current $125 a barrel, I think you need to take that a long way over $300 to push the pump price as much as he's looking at.

Oil was under $20 a barrel when the Coalition started bombing Afghanistan. Failing to connect the price of oil with this Middle Eastern rerun of Columbine High which the White House committed itself to is naive. We've had six years of Smash Islam as official US foreign policy and Western employees are surprised their wealth, what little they had left, is eroding? How ostrich-like can apologists for PNAC's domino theory for spreading "democratic capitalism" get?

No predictions...It's hovering around $3.90 where I live locally and from any observance gas prices will always continue to go up...

I really don't think it's a matter of the market rather the simple fact that the government has the power to do it...

Well it seems you're taking what I've said wrong...

Increase of up to as opposed to an increase in addition to...

In any case, here's a link showing a map of from what I've viewed as of yet are gas prices from all over the US...

What's an increase of up to $4 on $3.50? My calculator says it's a maximum of $7.50. Perhaps you're looking for "increase to" instead of "increase of"?

As it happens, even a $4 increase on current US prices would still leave gas cheaper than in the UK. Today at my nearest pump here it's US$8.35 per US gallon (that's UK£1.12 a litre).

Your calculator among others...

It really doesn't matter because such can be argued it's a simple matter of dialect as opposed to intent...

That's an increase to.

An increase of up to suggests that the increase will be of up to $4 not that the final price will move up to $4.

Up to means not superseded by right?...

Therefore "an increase of up to" means that the increase is not superseded by right?

No matter - I realise you don't speak English as your first language so I'll make allowances :p

Ghads, I can't imagine a gas tank that big. But I've seen some high prices on the pump when I pull in.....

Hey what are going to do when you have a 32.00 Gallon tank. Can't wait untill it's around $5.00 a gallon.

Cost me $44.00 for a half tank and I drive an SUV:mad:

I'm in Texas, maybe I'll buy a horse.... :wah:

Aint come down here...........£1.19 a LITRE:(

I understand many San Diego-ans are travelling south of the border into Mexico for fuel. The Mexican govt is subsidizing fuel costs because much of the nation is poor. Average fuel price is abour $2.50 a gl there.

Many of the Mexican staton owners are refusing to serve Americans in retaliation apparently for our blatant pigdom.

WaWa's is the cheapest place in town $3.85 per gallon.

That's extremely hard to believe...

No one is biased when it comes to money...No one!!!

Not money enough to make you considerably wealthy...Or even comfortable for that matter...

$3.97 at Wawa.

There's a limit on how much gas you can buy in Mexico, but if I lived close I would drive over and buy it there.
