FED 387 · 05-14-2007, 11:22 PM

Well the price of gas has gone from $2.04 to $3.499 at the station near work in 90 days... It went up 25 cents while I was sitting at the light and I know he does not get any deliveries until Wed/Thu so what gives???? This is getting tottaly out of hand. Don't know what it is where you are but this is collusion or something like that !!!!! Comp 387

Yeah, and what are we gonna do about it?

We can't hurt the gas companies unless we buy an electric car or a hybrid. As soon as I can afford one I am. Keep the big truck/trailer/race car for those lone trips to the track.

I miss step.

You will not see corm power until they can keep the cost UP. This is just the conditioning phase softening up the consumer so to say.

Yea, and don't buy gas today , like thats gonna do any good. On the news last night they showed people filling up so they wouldn't have to buy gas today.
My opinion, find out who is the big gas company ( Speedway here ) in your area and get a boycott to NOT buy gas from them for a few weeks.

everyone have their own thoughts for the gas prices. in 2005 diesel was priced 20 cents below regular. then it increased 20 cents above regular. now diesel is back to 20 cents below regular. seems like a little greed is taking over. average was about $3.00 dollars. about november came election time . fuel fell to about $2.00 per gallon. now it's at $3.00 again. could it be george and the boys

After the Presidential Campaigns are "funded" then maybe the prices will go down....:-)

It's more tied into fuel type ("winter" gas vs reg.), and budy drive times of the year. It'll skyrocket every spring, and it'll come back down around Labor Day.

I do find it interesting that I haven't heard anything about why diesel has come back down relative to regular. I heard the excuse about strict sulfur level controls causing the price jump last year.... so why has it come back down? (not complaining, just wondering!)
