Is gas really headed to $4/gallon again?

[markids77]

Sneaky bastards are raising prices again... $3.43 for regular today...

Who, exactly, are the “sneaky bastards?”

"The usual suspects". Oh, and PETA, Green Peace, the NAACP, Big Oil and any and all lobbyists. At least......

~shut down KeystoneXL ppl day one

~stop new on and offshore leasing for oil drilling

~drain SPR

~villify oil and gas companies

~surprised Pikachu face when the price of energy, and thus, the cost of EVERYTHING goes up

~blame Trump for all of it

I think it all depends on Israel's reaction to the Irani's attack.

If Israel retaliates the Irani's will continue and price goes up.

If Israel holds back and Iran stops due to the attack being futile, gas will drop.

And FJB.

Add in conflict in the Middle East (or not) and it’s a great excuse to raise the price of gas. Of course there is always the fall back excuses of “the sun is coming up”, “the sun is going down”, and last but not least, “summer blend”.

If "Big Oil" can raise prices arbitrarily, why didn't they keep them at $5 as they were a couple years ago?

When they were around $4.30 here in 2008, within a couple months they plunged to under $2 per gallon. Why didn't Big Oil keep them at $4.30?

It's the government, as usual, interfering and distorting the free market. It's what they do.

At least partially because the pain at the pump caused people to cut back on usage. And "Uncle Sugar" reigning things in, of course! Re-election over all else.

Israel is about to release the Kraken on those filthy rag heads.

Shut down the power grid... all at once. Put the entire country in the dark and watch the resulting backlash.

Israel probably knows where every single Iran leader, both political and military, sleeps. This will be over in minutes.

[LilRedCorvette]

I paid $4.12/gal for premium at BJs Wholesale last night.

[Swany00]

91 is already over $6 out here in the land of dumbfucks

I must say that gas is a lot less expensive in other states than Maryland.

So there is that.

Air is still $2 bucks on average no matter where you are.


What happened to Nitrogen? Never, not once saw a green tire fill scenario .

Ok, I'm a still a little loopy from the drive home from Texas.

[Unsuspicious]

It's motorcycle weather, gas savings will pay for itself unless you die. Well, you won't have to purchase gas anymore if that happens.

[Frankie the Fink]

Somehow, someway, gas prices will remain reasonable (by modern trends anyway) until after the election - count on it..

Wrong, Israel's intelligence apparatus (Mossad) is nothing like it once was. Hamas poured into the country on Oct 6th and slaughtered, raped, and, tortured entire families with hardly any resistance. A horrific intel failure.
