Thread: Gas prices

Tweet

Just wondering if fuel prices have gone up around the world like they have here??? I know everyone else pays more but has it gone up every where??

Yes. All crude oil, and just about all commodities like copper, aluminum, steel, wheat, corn, and on and on are priced in US dollar denomination. Our politicians and their aids at the Federal Reserve have let/driven the value of the dollar down, which means it's worth less (not worthless yet) so the suppliers of commodities are raising prices to offset the loss in value. Many nations around the world are losing confidence in our ability to control our spending and debt, and are sabre rattling to drop the US dollar as the world currency standard. Now, in this country the politicians and their faithful media lackies have been successfully demonizing private enterprise, and profits, for a few decades. Cool plan for them really, they actually cause the problem but point the finger at those who actually produce something of value, and that tactic fools enough people every time so they continue to get away with it. Later this week oil companies, among others, will be announcing quarterly profits, which will be big numbers, so be prepared for the hatefest. Meanwhile, the politicians and the Fed continue to manipulate data to support their claims that inflation is low, and employment is almost rosey. Ya gotta love the seeming perpetual election cycle.

yep theve gone up here about 25 cents a litre in the last month which would equate to about a dollar a american gallon were over 1.25 a litre or about 5.00 an american gallon. sucks . i know crude has gone up but it still does not equate to that much of a price jump

Here in East Texas it is gradually going up but then we'll have a drop for a couple of days but the trend is definitely higher prices - - - - yesterday it was $3.86 and today it is $3.78 at the same station - - - - shouldn't be too long before it's $4 and then I'll have to move some money around, damn it !

Prices here range from $1.22.9/L to $132.9/L ($4.95 to $5.03/gal) For a change, diesel is around the same price.

Here in Upstate NY - Capital District, the average just went to $4.024 tho I was "lucky" enough to pay only $3.969 to fill up the wife's Escape - $40/10gallons. We are a bit further North and have 1% less sales tax (whoopee!!!) then Albany County.

just filled up in the uk at one pound fifty a litre thats aprox $10.50 a gallon i think

$3.80 ish a few weeks ago. Now 4.05 on average.. Wish I only spent $40 on gas.. But I'll probably dump $75-80 in the truck tonight and it's not going to fill it

Paid 64 bucks for 14.6 gallons last night, roughly $4.29.99 a gallon here. With my 50 mile round trip commute to work it's starting to hurt!
