|Bunghole| Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 WTF? When I drove home from work yesterday, gas prices in West Chester were $3.81/gal. When I drove into work this morning gas prices in West Chester were $4.15/gal! What in the world happened to cause a 34 cent jump in prices in 12 hours? For fuck's sake!

Go Skins Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 DC has been $4.00+ in multiple places for weeks. There is a station in DC that has been over $4.00 for over 2 years. I remember when I wouldn't need more than $30 to fill my car up. The past 2 fill ups, and my car gets about 30 MPG, at least $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyInDC Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 1 US gallon = 3.785 liters 1€ = $1.4835 Gas near me costs about: 1.60€/liter or $8.90/gallon This is a function of the dollar being in the toilet more than the high cost of fuel. Real cost is more in line with $4-6/gallon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeaverHunter Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Unrelated news..... http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/28/us-exxonmobil-idUSTRE73R35O20110428 [quote][size="5"][b]Exxon's profit soars 69 percent, tops Street[/b][/size] By Anna Driver HOUSTON | Thu Apr 28, 2011 10:15am EDT HOUSTON (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp's quarterly profit rose a better-than-expected 69 percent as the world's largest publicly traded oil company benefited from higher crude prices and improved earnings in its chemical and refining businesses. In the first quarter, the average U.S. oil price was $95 per barrel, about 20 percent higher than a year earlier, a factor that has lifted earnings at most oil companies. Since then, prices have climbed above $100 per barrel in a rally fueled by improved world demand for fuel and unrest in the Middle East and North Africa. "It looks like chemical was really strong," Phil Weiss, oil analyst at Argus Research, said. "And production came in on the higher side relative to my expectations, especially gas." Exxon shares were likely not responding to the earnings beat because it was driven by chemicals, which is not the company's primary business, Weiss said. Shares of Exxon edged slightly lower in premarket trading. Low natural gas prices and an improvement in global economies have boosted results for chemical companies, while refiners are profited from higher fuel demand. The Irving, Texas, company reported a first-quarter profit of $10.65 billion, or $2.14 per share, up from $6.3 billion, or $1.33 per share, a year earlier. Analysts on average had expected Exxon to report a first-quarter profit of $2.07 per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Revenue rose 26 percent to $114 billion. Oil and gas output rose 10 percent to 4.82 million barrels oil equivalent per day. Profit in Exxon's chemicals unit rose 21 percent to $1.5 billion. Refining profit grew to $1.1 billion, up from $37 million a year earlier. Shares of Exxon fell slightly to $87.56 in premarket trade from a New York Stock Exchange close of $87.78.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Bunghole| Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 My whole issue isn't so much that gasoline prices are rising, because they invariably will do that. But we as consumers are generally used to smaller, more incremental increases in prices. This whole "I went to bed and it was $3.81 and when I woke up it was $4.15" shit is ridiculous though.

Go Skins Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Oil dropped 8% yesterday.....below $100 a barrel. If this holds, prices should drop all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
