Gas Prices

[Jakey]

Well look on the bright side of things, today some Saudi ambassador requested that OPEC choose to increase production when they meet sometime in the near future. Crude oil prices went down today because of that so hopefully, gas prices will slowly start dropping, hopefully.

I live in Spokane Washington and the prices are $2.19 for the lowest and $2.42 for the premium. What a drag considering my work is 13 miles away. On the up side though, my car gets 24-27mpg in the city so I don't pay too much for gas.

From the first page, a monopoly (OPEC) does control the price of gas. They can cut production to increase the demand. With an increase in demand comes an increase in the price level to sustain the new market equilibrium.

Gas prices don't bother me at all. Gas eats up such a small amount of my budget it doesn't even matter. I think it is funny when people drive around thinking that a 5 cent difference per gallon actually means something. WOW, that saves 60 cents on the price of a fill up!!! I just don't see how people can bitch about the prices of gas rising. If you owned a business and you could raise the price and make more money, you would too.

leme just think this thru for a second...


i spend about $70/week for gas.. thats $280/month.. minimum... that is a pretty nice toy every month, or a nice loan payment too...

i think tomorrow i'm gonna get some toulene and mix that with either 87 or 90, that might make the total amount for gas cheaper, and still more octane than the 91 premium here, haven't decided though, heard that its not the greatest on the rubber parts of fuel lines.

Where do all you people go that are spending close to 100 dollars a week on gas? I drive from and to work a total of 35 miles every day and I still get one fill up per week ~25 bucks a fill??

I dont know about you guys but you must be taking some nice road trips to drive so much per week. 70 bucks per week is like 1000 miles a week for me. Unless your driving a gas guzzler how can you drive that much per week?

Well, I'll use us as an example. My work is 30 miles....one way. Then AJ has to drive over to St. Paul which is about 20-25 miles from my work. We are now up to 50-55 miles....one way. That's over 100 miles a day we drive.

The majority of us don't live at home with mom and dad, and actually have to commute a fair distance to work.

Don't really understand what the fuss is all about, it is still cheaper than a gallon of bottled water.
