Seven weeks ago gas by me was $2.35 a gallon for regular, today it's $2.79

[DainBramaged]

is this the continuing theft of America?

[WillParkinson]

1. It's $2.95 in Milwaukee...

And that's a hefty jump here, too.

[BadgerKid]

2. Wintertime & pre-holiday hikes.

At other times, I've seen 25- and 30-cent jumps every now and then. It would take 2-3 weeks to fall back down to where it was to begin with.

3. $3.39 in northern california....

I laughed the other day to see a news report saying that gas prices had exceeded an average of $2.50 somewhere in the country. We haven't seen gasoline at those prices in YEARS.

4. It happens every year around Thanksgiving.

5. Gas jumped $.30 four days after the election

from $2.78 to $3.10 for regular in Grand Rapids, MI. They're blaming a refinery fire in Chicago, but gas is still $3.07. I think it's a big THANK YOU to the GOP.

6. Over $3.00 in my area.

It was up to $3.29 for labor day, and stayed that way till after hunting season in October. Now it's come down to $3.21! Diesel was up to $3.65 until after hunting season, now it's down to $3.49! I can go 60 miles from here to a larger town and it was $3.09 at the end of October.

Once again republicans are in charge of one house in congress and can keep any new regulations from going forward, so the speculators are trying to make a killing, not only with oil, but other commodities lie food! This what we get when we can't regulate these assholes!

[Lance_Boyle]

7. Diesel's jumped 15 cents in the past week in Central NC.

I had thought last month's jump from $2.90 to $3.00 was the "heating oil bump" but it turns out I was mistaken.

8. Thank you Ben Bernanke

[Subdivisions]

9. Please explain the process by which rising oil/fuel costs can be considered

to be a continuing theft of America.

[NoNothing]

10. That's still 130,000,000 joules of energy

For about the same price as bottled water, with 0 joules. Seems like a good deal to me.

[Webster Green]

11. Cheapest gas I can find is $3.03

In Northern California

[Xenotime]

12. Blame Bush. Notice everytime he sticks his head out of his hole gas prices go up.

[MineralMan]

13. It's up here in the Twin Cities, too.

Thank goodness my wife and I don't drive much.

[bluedigger]

14. That's very interesting!

I'd like to try that, too!

Could you explain how you capture, refine, and market it, and what inputs you find most effective for maintaining steady production?

:shrug:

15. The dollar is on a downhill slide

When the dollar gets weaker it takes more to buy a barrel of oil, It's as cheap as it ever will be right now, kinda scary.

[Javaman]

16. also a barrel oil is about 90 bucks

What's your point?

[ProgressiveProfessor]

17. I can not recall the last time I saw it below $3.00, and right now is $3.40 or so here in So Cal

[PADemD]

18. I paid $2.86 this week in PA; last week $2.81.

[Dreamer Tatum]

19. It's the tanking dollar. nt
