My local gas station gets one delivery every 7 to 10 days. The price of that gas should be stable. It has gone up twice since the delivery. Whats wrong with this picture?

JUst what the market will bear, like selling tomatoes and oranges. Also what you will put up with. When everyone starts selling them great big SUV's things may change a bit. I see them everywhere down here. I live in a working town. A mill town where there are millionaires and poor people. Poor people aspire to act like the rich ones, but when the kids don't have milk, I guess they park thier suv out front with a forsale sign on it.

If you want it and can afford it you will continue to buy it.

I hear Mexican gas down there is only about .50 a gallon, perhaps they can't afford any more then that. Is that fair?

Did you read the post on Enron in California, it is just not gasoline.. skinning the people for a buck.

What sort of price are you paying over there?
Down here locally its around $1.10au alitre,I really don't want to think about what that is per gallon.
Cheers.

This morning it was $2.12USD a gallon, or about $3.03AU/US gallon. Roughly $.75AU a litre (this is rough math, I just divided 4 quarts into $3.03au).

I think in Caracas, Venezuela they are paying something like $.14USD a gallon.

If the U.S. would demand repayment on loans and rescue mission costs from foreign governments whether in cash or oil, and then apply that to the economics of the countries who have been very generous to the people of the world over the last 100 years, petrol would be very cheap if under government price regulation. I believe that companies should make a profit, but many companies are greedy and stupid like Enron.

Listen guys I heard today of filling stations charging in London £1.12 a litre. There are nearly five litres in a gallon that at current rate of dollar /pound will make gas here at approx $10 a gallon try that then like us, cry, cry, cry.Alistair

I have cut back on my driving and hauling, it has now become cheaper to pay higher product prices at near by stores than to drive the extra ten minutes to the Walmarts.

Good thing HF is less than 5 minutes from my house.
