Here we go again..........

[gonefishie]

$2.89/gal and climbing fast......... How are they going to move all those new trucks when gas prices are heading for the sky again? What? is it because of tornado season? a bad tick year?

Re: Here we go again..........

Im guessing its just because its summer, people are traveling more. Demand goes up so does the price (so they have brain washed us )

Im just glad its not $4.00+ (but would rather pay 1.75 like it was just a few months ago)

Re: Here we go again..........

Demand is up in China and India and other countries. And it's also increasing here in the US as well.

You take our current economic troubles and add $4 gas to it.....we're gonna see a real sh!t storm.

Re: Here we go again..........

Demand for the US Dollar is low is why gas is going up. Plus a seasonal tick due to all the different blends mandated by EPA.

Re: Here we go again..........

Gas is going up because of futures traders. It has nothing to do with supply and demand. It has to do with the perception of supply and demand.
If you
1. Took oil of the futures market.
2. Made anybody who purchaces futures actually take delivery of the oil and sell the oil, and not the futures contract.
3. Made the buy in for futures 50% and not 5%
You'd see a drastic reduction in prices. Demand right now is extremely low compared to 5 or 10 years ago.

It's time for everybody to start writing their senators and DEMAND they do something or else we won't SUPPLY them with votes.

That's how we got here right now. All that demand is up stuff is just b.s. I would love to see how much those poor folks in China and India is spending on gas now versus a couple months ago. Chrysler is really going to have to give away those new Rams.

Re: Here we go again..........

Ahhhhhem . . . if I was somebody else this thread would be gone already . . . Keep it clean. Here are some suggested posts that will help keep this thread open:

"Hey, gas prices are higher, sure wish they weren't."

"I wish they checked my oil like they used to. Then I'd feel better."

"Yeah, sure glad I paid $17,000 for that new Etec cuz I might save $29.50 on fuel this season."

"Don't you love that our Gov't is going to start building cars? Paves the way for them to start regulating oil prices too. Cool!"

Oh . . . wait . . . that last one is the other kind, the kind that will result in this thread being locked. Sorry. My bad, stick with the first three examples . . .

Bingo ...We have a winner.

I could just go off on this subject....But i will not go there...But now that Chrysler and FIAT have or are about to be married let me bring back some history..."FIAT" aka "Fix It Again Tony"...

Making strides for the American cornsumer...


Don't you love that that our Gov't is going to start building cars? Paves the way for them to start regulating oil prices too. Cool!"

You mean " Any Grease is Better,..... Than No Grease at All......."

I thought it was fix it again tony?

Re: Here we go again..........

This article suggests that oil prices may be too high right now given current demand and supply

Someone needs to tell that last part to Exxon-Mobil

Chrysler is really going to have to give away those new Rams.

Are you referring to the new Heavy Duties coming out this fall? I really want to get one of those, but I got a lot of sucking up to do first. . . The fiancee wants a new convertible first, I guess if I buy a bigger boat, I can tell her I have to buy a bigger truck to pull said bigger boat

 

[rjlipscomb]

Re: Here we go again..........

Yeah JustJason has it right. Demand is way down. But oil is a product that sells itself at any price. We need it, they know it, and they drive the price up. Futures trading needs to be fixed.

A boat is the ultimate convertible.

No, I'm talking about all those 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton that sit on dealer lots collecting dust. People can't afford the monthly payment and the gas to drive them.

No offense intended rjl, but this is a self contradicting statement.
They charge what we will pay.
