Tidewater VA. Norfolk, VA Bch $3.04 per gal reg gas

Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Suffolk range from $3.01 to $3.11 per gal. reg gas

Now tell me why Congress is looking at steriods in baseball; and not the rising cost in gas, the housing market problems, loss of good paying jobs overseas, etc.

We should have a contest to see who can peg the date (this summer) when the price of unleaded hits $4.00/gallon.

Too late. I heard on the radio this morning there is a station in the San Francisco Bay area that is charging $4.23/gallon for regular un-leaded. :eek:

I still don't understand why Maui and other outer island gas prices are so much higher than they are on Oahu. It costs maybe 7 cents a gallon to transport oil/gas around the world, yet it costs more than 50 cents a gallon to get it that last 100 miles to Maui?

Oil has become a universal money just like gold. If you lay the two overtop of each other on a 2 year graph you will notice a very similar trend.

Oil has not risen as much as people think it has. The US dollar has just fallen so much that it takes more of them to buy the oil, just like gold.

This chart shows that oil and gold has gone up much less for the Europeans. Essentially, the flat line at Zero is the dollar. :eek:

Every time the Fed lowers the Prime Interest Rate, or adds (PRINTS) more money into the system, the US dollar is further devalued. Thus, when that news is posted, watch the price at the pump increase. There is no free lunch.

I paid $3.39 gal for mid range unleaded in Deerfield Beach, FL, saw that Diesel is $4.09 gal. I don't know how much longer the independent truckers can afford to operate at these prices. Some stations here in the area are charging up to $4.50 gal. for mid range unleaded. They are banking that people will pay it instead of wasting fuel driving around looking for lower prices.

$3.17-$3.29 in Houston today. I filled up for $3.19. :(

Here's what I don't understand. The oil comes into the Port of Houston and is processed in Texas City (a Houston suburb). When it is all said and done we (Houstonians) still pay more than many places around the nation. :shrug:
