$4.00 is already here. It may reach $5 at this pace all the while the oil companies keep getting richer and the average American keeps getting bent over.

As I'm sure you know, $4.00 as a national average, not spot-pricing from California (I assume).

As I said, many things will need to happen in order for the national average to reach $4.00.

Average retail is now at $3.09, BTW.

Gas prices shot up again today in Iowa.

It's from 3.09 to 3.14 here in NW OKC. Yesterday was the first time I had seen three dollars a gallon. I have to get gas tomorrow...looks like my truck won't ever be full again.

I topped my truck off today. 3.19. $64.

My little shit hole town here in MO it went up .15 cents in one day. It is ****ing ridiculous.

You watch the oil companies will have record profits this quarter while the average American keeps getting screwed by these POS mother****ers.

Gas in Kansas City is .46 cents higher than this time last year (currently $3.13 average)....we're also now higher than the national average - normally we're around .10 cents under. :deevee:

Well, that depends on how much gasoline 'average Americans' buy this quarter, doesn't it?

Honestly, I would be surprised to see them make record profit this quarter. Crude isn't at extremely high levels.

You can thank that asshole that drove by me in the SuperMaxDuty Dodge Cummins Turbo F850 truck on the highway, repeatedly punching the gas to the floor.

Until you clowns adjust your driving habits and start buying vehicles that get more that 15mpg it's just going to keep going up.

The average I seen this weekend from Hutchison to Hugoton was $3.29. I did have to pay $3.39 out in BFE western Kansas.

What are the oil companies supposed to do? Intentionally make less money than they can? If I'm selling something on E-bay, should I put a price "ceiling" on it just so I won't feel bad about "screwing" the buyer?

I just can't believe how fast gas has gone up over the last few days. People really need to start convserving and driving less because IMO that is the only relief we are going to get. I wish Congress would put a temporary halt on the gas taxes but they want to spend money so that will never happen.

Anyways I know where I next war will come from and isn't Iran.

hickies will be making a comeback and
STDs will be going through the roof

I agree Simplex that is why I drive a Toyota Corolla that gets 35+ miles to the gallon.

Before we go to war for oil, we better damned sure be utilizing every bit of the oil we have right here in the USA.
