Cost of gas

[BrandiDup]

Where are you located and how much is gas running per gallon where you are?

I'm in San Diego, Cali. In August, it was $2.98. It climbed up to about $3.50 during September. Went back down in October to around $2.50 and I was totally loving life. Then it steadily climbed back to around $3.50 again, which is about what it is right now for the cheap stuff. Its close to $4 for the premium. :down:

Gas prices seem to fluctuate so much these days. They go down very briefly, but then shoot right back up again. What makes me even more upset is that all of the big gas companies are listed within the top most profitable companies. http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortu...anies/profits/

of course they are the best money makers. Everyone NEEDS gas in southern California. We do not walk anywhere. Its our own fault, and not much we can do about it.

in Quebec, the gallon is like 3.47$us ...

i hope the gaz go up more and more... the higher will be its price, the harder the engineers will work to find other technologies for transport... the cars are using the same amount of gaz today than it was 100 years ago... pathetic... we need to have other means of transport, not always using wheels and roads... flying machines are already evolved to the point where helicopters can fly vertical and stationary... i suppose they can use some $$$ to create smaller engines which can be used for individuals...

call the guy who invented the microwave, i suppose he is still in area 51.. lol

I completely agree with both of you!

I just paid $2.86 for regular in South Carolina. I think that i read somewhere that we have the lowest gas prises in the nation.

In 1998, the cost of a barrel of Oil was $10.00. The average price of gasoline was $1.09 per gallon in the U.S.

Today, oil is fluctuating between $90 and $98 dollars per gallon. Yet, we have only seen the average gasoline price increase 3 fold since 1998. If gasoline prices kept inline then it would be $10.00 a gallon today. This is without environment affecting supply such as hurricanes, wildfires, terrorism and more.

Unfortunately, gasoline is going to simply get more expensive. It is doubtful that the world will be able to keep up with the rising demand especially in countries like India and China vowing to create a car for each family. Hybrids, PHEV, and Hydrogen may be the future. Ethanol is a wild goose chase though. To have enough ethanol to power the cars in the United States every square inch of the contiguous 48-states needs to be planted with corn.

Personally, I rarely drive anymore. If I can't walk to a store and purchase something, I simply don't purchase it.
