Lars,

I thought the IEA was sending reserves, not fuel slated for commerical consumption ?

 

Just to chime in with local gas prices for a quick breather on the Global Petroleum Economics discussion...

Denver area over the Labor Day Holiday weekend...
Personally observed stations in the:

Burbs (Unleaded/Mid-Grade/Premium)
$3.09/$3.19/$3.29

Off-Ramp Stations
$3.19/$3.29/$3.39

Near-Airport Rental Car Return Station (Gouging B*stards)
$3.29/$3.43/$3.53

Over the weekend, I took the family camping and was reminded how much fuel can hit the pocketbook. Unfortunately our Prius can't tow a 5,000 lb camper, so we had to take the gas-guzzler truck with the 5.9L V8. Averaging an incredible 7 MPG, we traveled 480 miles over the weekend. Average fuel cost per gallon (the V8 needs the mid-grade) was $3.24... Total fuel costs: $222.17

 

It's still going up in Baltimore:

Sunday: $3.64
Monday: $3.69
Tuesday: $3.74

I'm thinking it's going to be $8-$10 by Christmas? I won't be able to afford gas even driving a hybrid at that rate!

 

Think about it this way, Todd.

If gas hits $10/gallon, your HCH may be the biggest vehicle still running

 

Hi all,

The quickest way to track local gas $'s is by checking the fuel economy web site for your area. The ones I check are local to me: Orangecountygasprices.com and losangelesgasprices.com Go to one of these sites and search for your area. It shows gas prices on a daily basis.. best of all it shows the lowest prices in your area so you know where to go.

You're right about that. Actually, I've been seeing a LOT less land-yachts on the highway during the past ten days.

It's actually almost $4/gallon here, which means that a Hummer H2 costs almost a dollar a mile to drive. Ouch!

My plan is to pick up a Honda Rebel 250 motorcycle if gas hits $10/gallon. The Rebel gets 95 MPG.

 

Well it was as high as $3.499, but it went down to $3.099 the other day, and yesterday it went up to $3.199.

 

In Stockton, CA you will spend around $3.049 for regular.

 

Back down - god whadda joke - to

$2.89
$2.99
$3.09

with a few resisting holdout stations refusing to drop below $3.00 for regular. Carpetbagging louses.

 

Oh yeah, in the Motor City it's dropped to about $2.86
