local prices here are averaging 2.43 to 2.63 for regular.....I'm hoping the Pilot/Loves gas stations are much cheaper in a week and a half (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
I'm guessing I'll be lucky to get 15mpg in my truck if I tow the 914.....close to 900 miles round trip......ouch.... |

Greed is a component. Demand is at an all-time high, and realize that the current price/bbl is for stuff that will be delivered in June or July. There is a 3-4 month turnaround time from when crude is taken from the ground to when you put gasoline in your tank. The speculators are in a frenzy with what they expect the market will be paying for gas during summer, so prices keep going up now. The current instability in the Middle East only makes things worse. Someone with a better background in economics can give a better explanation, I'm sure... |
