Gas prices about to go up

I got a tip from a family member who works with EMR Oil who works directly with Speedway Gasolines and he said gas is about to skyrocket. Id suggest filling up. I think he said over 3 bucks by the end of today or tomorrow. Didnt say why, but hes never been wrong when he alerts us.

Thanks for the warning. Damn gas companies.....

Yea, he tells family and sure enough...hes in management but obviously doesnt control this crap. :\ Wish he could get us a tanker to sit in our driveway and Ill dibby that.

Already above 3 here...

^If you can score any, get me one too [;)]
Anyway, I was expecting gas to go back up beings it's now the summer months, but not that fast.
Yeah, It's around $2.50 here.

Here we go again.

Thanks for lookin' out Real

Yay for not driving..

DAMNIT!

Great and I'm getting ready to take a 3 hour trip tomorrow morning from North Jersey to South Jersey for the weekend =/

You are complaing about 3 bucks a gallon?
We are paying 7 Bucks per gallon here in Germany.
(1.33?????????/1,84$ per litre)

It won't kill you.

Yes but you probabally get paid more. When min wage is 6.50/hr thats one hour for 2 gallons of gas.

It's been over $3 for about a week or two here in California [:(]

it went up to like $2.90 here a couple weeks ago but slowly went back down to $2.50.
this sucks, right as im about to start driving too. [:(]

To tell you the truth I laughed when I saw the price had risen. My mom turned to me and said, "You know how to ride a bike right?"[devilish]

There is no minimum wage law in Germany.

Im so tired of hearing about how its so expensive over there. I know how expensive it is. But your cars also use less gas and you have far better mass transit systems. You have to drive forever to get anywhere around here in most cases.

Yes I know your "jungle juice" Petrol (which is much higher octane...wonder why you pay more?) is outrageiously priced. Nothing I can do about it. And I budget myself for around 2.50 to 3 a gallon so this wont hurt me much. I was just letting the peeps know...


And yes, if you live in areas where its already higher, expect a higher increase. Where I live its actually been one of the lowest on average in the country. Right now its mid 2.50's. Im not complaining, just giving a heads up. Id expect in a day or less to see the jump.

Well, I'm going to expect the Metro-link and Metro-bus to be mentioned in the news that tons of commuters using them again.

yeah, its not the fact of it just going up that makes us upset.
its more the fact that we have been use to $2.40-2.50 so when it jumpos up .50 cents or even a dollar, yeah it doesnt sound much, but its an extra 5 to 10 bucks for 10 gallons.
its the change that were upset about, not the overall price.

Well maybe doing stuff like importing Volkswagon Lupos would help.

Figures, gas starts to go up just as I am about to drive across the continent.

Just when you thought it was safe to buy that suv you don't need.

Well, since Obama is now bowing down (literally and figuratively) to the Arab Nation, what else would you expect to happen to the gas prices?

Sorry ... had to be said.
