How's it going over in North America now? Any thoughts on the reason for it?

i filled up on sunday. paid $1.79/gallon and it cost about $17 to fill the tank in my Honda Civic. that should last me a week. A little higher than usual, but i don't see what the big deal is considering i paid 1.10 Euro a liter in St. Martin a week ago.

I think the price increase is at least partially demand motivated because it's an election year and the average joe is getting screwed by the government more than usual. With all that extra screwing you're going to need some lubrication.

I heard the explosion in Texas at one refinery may affect prices in that area at least (people blamed al-Qaeda first, hardly surprising as thems terrorist folks cause all the evils of this world).

OPEC has plans to cut production sometime this year, but negotiations are still going on as cutting production with the price of oil now would seem silly.

And we all know OPEC are perfectly rational people.

Fuel prices in Tucson seem to be running between $1.74 (at Costco, Sam's Club) to $1.99 per gallon at most of the chain stores (Exxon, Mobil, Chevron, Unocal 76).

Tucson's gasoline prices have been running a little higher than Phoenix's which is really irritating beause the tanks that store the gas for Phoenix are here in Tucson. The fuel is sent via pipeline up to Phoenix except for last year when some builders busted the line and gasoline poored into the development they were building.

Dammit we need to take over more Opec nations...... "More Blood for OIL"

Take what you can get, we had $5/gal when you could get it at all for something like a month.

around $1.50 or so for regular. It should be noted New Jersey has some of the lowest gas prices in the country.

Post by **LadyTevar** » 2004-03-31 02:30pm

$1.79 for 87 Octane.

Aren't you happy? Afterall, isn't everyone in the state is employed by the oilfield; as everyone in South Louisiana believes?

Nevermind the gas will cost more than the overtime pay.

It's sick here, it's like 70p per litre. So it costs a good 20 quid per week if i'm doing slightly more than average driving. How many litres are in a gallon again?

3.785 litre = 1 gallon

So you're paying £2.65 per gallon, about $4.50.

Wait, scratch that. Todays pound-dollar conversion rates putes 1 gallon at $4.90

That was definatly bad, but it's odd that our prices usually run a little over those in Phoenix when the pipeline is working.

They must figure they can make up the difference in volume.

There are definately some bastards price gouging in this state. They are just lucky that the law on gouging is set so ridiculously high that it hasn't come down on them yet. Every time they tweak the prices upward at the smallest hint of something they are pushing the Governor that much more towards proposing a new law that would prevent the greedy bastards from doing stuff like that.

I think tomorrow is when the state is supposed to switch back to regular gasoline instead of that lower poluting crap that we have to use during the winter months.

The highest reported gasoline price in Arizona for the last 48 hours is $2.19 at a Shell Station on Highway 60 near Wickenburg.

Southern California, around LA. I don't have an exact price, but around 2.30/gal is pretty close.
