This morning in Missouri (or "misery" depending on your speech) in one city it was $3.93/gal and in another city 60 miles away it was $3.72/gal.:mad:

Kinda funny how that works. I still want to know WHY they aren't saying there is a gas shortage????:sarcasm:

Why else is there such a rise in the prices?:read:
If there were an actual shortage, you would be standing in line to buy it. There are traders with very huge chests of money buying and selling it because they expect eventually there will be a shortage. When hundreds of billions of dollars, euros, etc move in and out it changes the pricess dramatically. Also, I understand Friday had some short covering, because earlier in the week the price was "plummeting" to $122 USD.

I'm afraid this is here to stay more or less. We will need to begin to work this into our lifestyles. Let's reduce and conserve people.

still much cheaper than bottled water and soda pop,both of which are much simpler to manufacture. Gas stations make more from selling those than the gas.

Why is there no outrage over bottled water? :notme:

You don't have to buy soda or bottled water. We aren't dependant on them. Water can be gotten from the tap.

Gas, on the other hand, has an affect on everything we purchase. It's cost affects the cost of everything we buy.

Here in DK we have the pleasure of paying 2,43$ per liter these days. I believe that is only topped by the prices in UK. Makes you love your old car :(

Of course, but the same people complaining about gas don't complain about the soda they are holding while they pump the gas.

Both are too high, I just wanted to put it into perspective.

The one's that really make me laugh is the one's that complain about gas - yet will pay $1.50 - $2.00CDN for a litre of water!! At least soda requires some sort of thought process to make it. Dasani and Aquafina are just filtered tap water - YES, the same stuff you can get for pennies/Litre out of your tap!!!

Btw, it is 1.349/Litre in the Toronto area today. For those of you on the gallon, that would be ~$5.40 - $6.00CDN/gallon. :mg:

The woman at the gas station told me that the word is that prices will start to fall....cannot vouch for the validity of the info, but it did come from a gas station employee.
