NFBT - How much is your gas now? - Page 7

WisChief · 04-29-2001, 07:14 PM

I only live a few blocks from where I work, so I don't have to buy alot of gas as I can either walk or ride my bicycle, but today I had to buy some stinkin' gas and it is $1.75 here in central Wisconsin. The last I remember seeing, it was $1.46. WTF???? So, how much is it where you are? :confused:

(I couldn't find the previous post of this nature)

**Bob Dole** · 07-02-2001, 06:17 AM

It's still $1.26-$1.29 here for regular unleaded, but it's better than it was...

gh4chiefs · 07-02-2001, 06:18 AM

I paid a $1.17 in Kingdom City, MO, but I saw it as low as $1.16 in some areas of St Louis this weekend. Can't believe it's dropped that much but I like it.

Alton deFlat · 07-02-2001, 07:07 AM

I Paid $1.09 this weekend.

Cormac · 07-02-2001, 07:23 AM

1.19 in Lexington, KY. This is 'normal' for here (at least before it got really low a couple of winters ago). But how long will it remain???

Gas in Garden Grove, California was $1.80 a gallon yesterday.

HC_Chief · 07-02-2001, 07:54 AM

$1.23 here in JoCo :)

Iron Chef · 07-02-2001, 11:07 AM

1.29 here in Atlanta.

Nelson Muntz · 07-02-2001, 11:13 AM

Gas is now 1.17 in neodesha. Compared to 1.69 three weeks ago.

**alanm** · 07-02-2001, 12:15 PM

Paid 1.34 yesterday. Could someone explain to me since evidently there never was any kind of refined gas shortage the reasoning for the price hike? And how these companies can live with themselves? The Pricks :mad:

Hoover · 07-02-2001, 12:31 PM

$1.19 in Davenport Iowa
$1.25 in Goose Lake Iowa

Alanm: Simply this -- there was a shortage of fuel of the proper blend and formulation for the time of year in storage. EPA says you can only sell certain blends of fuels at certain times of the year and only in certain parts of the country. If the expected demand is greater than the storage plus the refined amount for a given time frame, then you get a price spike. Then you get expectations of higher prices and that spikes the price again. If consumers do not reduce consumption then there is no brake on the price spiral. What happened this summer was a lower demand (higher prices), more crude refined into gasoline (more inventory) which has placed a downward pressure on prices. When this inventory drys up, price will climb again. Thats why storage and refinery capacity are so critical to stable gasoline prices. It does have a limited shelf life.
