Old data from even 4 days ago. In the last 4 days a number of cities have had their prices move up to near $3.50/gallon. In the next 3 to 4 weeks, you are going to see many top $4.00/gallon, and not just the cities in California either.Gas is not waiting for May to do it's annual spring runnup; it is starting NOW. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

John: Not if it is rationed, which it might be by this Summer. Or if it goes over $5/gallon this summer, they may not want to pay for it anymore. Glad you got your portable back!  ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

That's not true Al. What I get is $3000 every time oil moves up in price a dollar. Today I purchased 3 July $100 Put options as well for $6100 each. Now I will make $3000 for every dollar oil falls in price as well. You see I believe that oil is going to fall back to $90 before it resumes it's climb again in April. Might as well make an extra $30,000 on that dip. If you were benefiting on the movement of oil like I do, you would be happy following the price of it too!  ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

I'm glad too but whats that matter? You still have to fuel up your Van to get there.. And the little extra gas my TM uses on the job and the massive extra power makes cleaning so much more enjoyable than using a portable........I will use the TM/porty together on big jobs.. the helper can use the porty..

I just read this >>  At a Shell service station in the Bay Area city of San Mateo, the price of a gallon of regular had already reached $4.29, well above the state average of $3.42, as measured by the AAA auto club. |

| There you have it. I remember a couple years ago it was $5 a gallon at a few stations in Chicago when Katrina hit. |

Liverpool mike, I can only sympathise in your postion. Because the UK government charges over 80% of your gas price in taxes, UK drives face the highest gas prices in the world. And it is far from over yet. By the time the USA has put it's gas prices up to around $12/gal(In about 3 to 4 years from now), you blokes will be paying at least $20/gal or more over there. I can only think this will hasten the time when most UK drivers will have plug in hybrid cars and air cars as the main form of transit.  ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

I have a hybrid ford now, once more and more people switch to the hybrid the goverment will increase the tax on that aswell. It's a win for now and then it's a lose, lose, lose situation. Got to get the tax from somewhere.

Liverpool Mike: I think you might need to go with the Air Car next. The Government will probably charge taxes on the batteries in the hybrids all right, but they will have a hard time taxing the air you breath and put in your car to power it. you cant completly avoid taxes, but you can reduce them.  ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

This post is for everyone with half a brain. That excludes Kenny, because when it comes to the battle of the minds, Kenny
 is unarmed.A few days ago Kenny was excited to tell us that in Miami gas was $3.49 a gallon. The reason he posted that was because he claimed that BY MARCH gas was going to be $4 a gallon, everywhere. The problem is that gas was actually $3.01 in Miami on that day. I say so because tax on gas in Florida is 49 cents a gallon. They have to tax the heck out of things because they have no income tax.

| In the People's Republic of Wiconsin, where I live, gas can be found at about $3.03 if you shop around. http://www.wisconsingasprices.com/ - http://www.wisconsingasprices.com/ That means that gas is a little more than $2.50 before tax. |

Price of gas is charged with TAX in. You count that in the price. It is not like it is optional. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

| Of course it's not optional. It's not optional on anything. If gas were $0 a gallon, and tax was $4.00 a gallon, gas would still be $0 a gallon. At the pump, however, it would be $4.00 a gallon. That's why your prediction is so stupid. To point out that Florida's gas is expensive to prove that the entire country is nearly $4, is typical of your stupidity. |

No Friendly. I am saying that within 3 weeks from now the NATIONAL AVERAGE price of gas will be $4/gal or higher. I am NOT talking about just a part of it like FL or CA. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

Of course. So your example using a state with a tax of 50 cents is stupid.

Not stupid at all. I leave that description for you.
The sign makes a good visual representation of what everyone in the USA will be paying for gas in a few weeks time. Canada and Europe and many parts of Asia have been paying even higher prices than these for a while now. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

| Of course gas will go up in a few weeks. In addition the birds will start to fly north. Brilliant deduction, Einstein. The prediction wasn't that gas will go up 40 cents. The prediction was that gas will go up $1 to a total of $4. Banning a big political or natural disaster, gas will not get up to $4 this summer. The economy of the US (and therefore the world) is slowing down. Gas prices in the future will reflect the state of the economy. |

Nobody but me is saying prices will rise to $4 in March. The few that have said $4 will happen this Spring said it is likely to be May when it happens. I am calling it ahead of all the other forecasters of the price. I see things that they don't. It takes vision.

Bears and Stearns, major player for years in the financial markets, nearly went bankrupt yesterday and had to be bailed out by the Federal Reserve and J.P. Morgan. There would have been mayhem on the stock exchange if there wasn't intervention. Apparently, there were major withdrawals at B&S yesterday which brought it on and as a result their stock dropped 50% in just a few hours. When an old established icon of prosperity fails as they did, it is not the price at the pump. It is the overall health of the global economy. Ultimately the US tax payers bailed these guys out. They get nothing to show for it but more taxes and less services. We should let all of these financial leaders that gave us the mortgage bloodbath dive head first into the sh*tter. ------------- Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity? |

Out west it was about that same price in some places last year. And it's $10-15 in Europe. Kenny's prediction concerns the national average, however. He says we're all idiots for not believing that it will be up to $4 in 15 days.
