Gas prices
Yes its really horrible that gas prices are so darn high, But good things are to come. In my opinion american auto makers have been rather laid back and care free to do as they wish. It is about time the government made things a little tighter. You know it may be for the better anyways. If more people start walking or biking the obesity rates just might decline.

Hey, whats going on? Lately many stations have dropped below $2.00
per gal. for regular. Hope it keeps up and goes even lower here in NJ.0 -
Here in Central NJ the price of a gallon of regular is now $3.09 down from $3.19 yesterday. There are a few places that are at $3.06.

GAS WAR - an idea that WILL work
This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. It ' s worth your consideration.
Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit close to $4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action. Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea.
This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day" campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them.
BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work. Please read on and join with us! By now you're probably thinking gasoline
priced at about $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $2.79 for regular unleaded in my town. Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 - $1.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the
marketplace..... not sellers. With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.
Here's the idea:
For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY ga soline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not selling any
gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now, don't wimp out at this point.... keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people.
I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us sends it to at least ten more (30 x 10 =3D 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 =3D 3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers. If those three million get excited! and pas s this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE
& amp; gt;>>>HUNDRED MILLION >>>>PEOPLE!!!
Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all. (If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do is send this to 10 people.... Well, let's face it, you just aren't a mathematician. But I am, so trust me on this one.)
How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!!
I'll bet you didn't think you and I
had that much potential, did you?
Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.
THIS CAN REALLY WORK
THANKS

Have not been to a gas station since last week.
So looked up Prices. Costs up to $4.35 for Regular. In Oregon0 -
Your thoughts on this. From another forum.
quote:Suspect pump prices are going to decline fairly steeply the second half of this 2012.
Right now cheapest price on a gallon of 87 in LA near where I live is $4.22. Expecting to see 87 going for around $2.90-something a gallon around here before year end, though
Why the price drop-off? My guess is market manipulation to achieve political ends.
Allies of the current U.S. President will sell their very large positions in the oil futures market and pump prices will ultimately descend as a result.
Voters "on-the-fence" will feel better with gas in the 2 dollar range and think: hey, current administration must be doing something right. They may then proceed to vote the current administration in for another term.
Anyway, the news worth hearing is pump prices will, imho, be substantially lower -- at least for a little while.
What do you think?0 -
Today reg unleaded was at 1.87 in the Twin Cities area, its gone up about 40 cents in the last 2 weeks...how about your area? 0 -
GASOLINE has gone up $.50 a gallon in the last 2 days . The front page of todays paper state STATES LOOK FOR GOUGERS How far and hard do they have to look[V][:(!]Every station but one I checked 10 of them went up within 2 Hours of each other. I don't think they all got a shipment of gas in this time frame. One guy did not go up until his new shipment came in today I asked him about it and he stated HE NEVER raised prices until his price went up said his shipment was projected to be in about 2 weeks out but when every one but him went up he had a run on his station and sold out quicker then expected . His station was sold out for over 5 hours but he did not change price on original supply I will buy gas from him from now on. 0 -
