Well inflation-inflation I will go back to be a WOODSBUM!!

Why is gas going up?

2.79 today for Super Unleaded. Goes up every year just as school gets out, as that's when families start traveling for vacations and such.
And, always a "shortage" of summer fuel additive.

Oil is pushing $70 bbl.

3.09 around me.

Global instability, especially in the Middle East. Syria and Iran are not our friends exactly.

2.45 here

Like was said already, It's spring time. Goes up every spring. Lots of people getting ready for vacation. Its an annual thing. Will get cheaper in Oct.

Exxon alone gained 6 BILLION dollars from the new tax laws. The rise in oil prices is just a little more gravy for their potatoes. Good for them!

Don't come west then. $3.19 in Idaho

Hey, why don't you start your own gas company. Then you could give us all discounts. If their profit bothers you that much, quit buying gas. Just imagine where you would be tomorrow if Exxon closed their doors. Some day you may just have to kiss their bottom side just to get gas.

Yes we all need gas and we depend on it which is a to bad but it is what it is. The issue is they can control their market by closing a refinery stop r slow production etc. Not here to start an argument but oil can do what they need to do to get what they want. Oil Companies profits and margins are at all time highs and they are thriving and doing very well.

probably doesn't help the explosion the superior refinery had , they supply much of the upper midwest

There has been turmoil and unrest in the Middle East since 1948. Gas prices seem to rise and fall with which political party is in office at least in the last twenty five years.

2.59 here

Diesel is 2.99, sucks last fall it was 2.69

$2.65 here.

The most I've remember paying was $4.50 a gal. several yrs ago in Wis.

With a thirsty 36 gal. tank that hurt!!

Brad

Don't forget that big explosion/fire at that oil refinery.

$3.34 here

I'm wondering why they don't start manufacturing vehicles that run on natural gas? They say it's more economical, very abundant, and better for the environment. All our buses around here run on it.

I wonder what filling up a car with natural gas would look like?

Um....: Natural Gas vehicles have been in production for quite awhile now.

Gas dropped $.11 per gallon today here, go figure.

www.gasbuddy.com for the cheapest gas around you and along travel routes.
$2.53 around here.

$4.50 up here.

Here in the Banana Republic we are paying $5.56 per U.S gallon. Yesterday we drove 100 miles one way to International Falls to "put in the day" and got gas while there. Savings were well worth the trip , and needless to say where I will,and will not be travelling this year

Gas $339.9 Diesel $369.9 Oregon gas tax is some of the highest in the nation

They are kinda liberal in Oregon right?

Way, Way liberal

We pay nearly 260 a drum for oil, prices will go up this summer and will pay the higher prices over the winter
