Just took a 1000 mile trip. Cheapest was 3.16, and most expensive I saw was 3.47.

Diesel was right at 4 bucks everywhere. Not sure what it was at that expensive station. It was out in the middle of nowhere, so they could get what they were asking. I was doing about 80, had over 3/4 of a tank so I didn't need to stop.

$3.79 for regular and $4.29 for #2 Diesel in Northern California. The prices will continue to rise until the oil companies squeeze every penny they can out of us.

Gas Price's:
What a foolish question?
Everybody is getting ripped off at $3.00 + a gallon so-what difference does it make weather it's $3.05 or $3.45 a gallon

Garman

Richmond is 3.35 for reg and near 4.00 for diesel.

The politicians want you to believe that your getting ripped off!!!

No, its not a foolish question and no one is getting ripped off but you go right on and believe it. I am glad I purchased oil stocks through the years. I first purchased an oil stock in 1987 and still have those shares. BP or British Petroleum in my opinion is cheap with an almost 5% dividend. I would say buy oil stocks because you won't be sorry 10 years from now. Oil is quoted in dollars!! The dollar has been losing its value so as long as that trend remains, it will remain high. Thank the feds because they can print money and keep interest rates low. You have a negative return when you include inflation if you invest in dollars. Brazil, Russia, India, and China or the Bric economies compete on the open market for the same oil. Our government will not let us drill in select areas but I suspect this is good for the US long term. Use there's before we drill in the homeland.


I think gas is around 3.34 and I an glad I can just get it.

Wow, Raptory! Sounds like you are VERY skilled in the markets! Yeah, gas is cheap if you consider the slaughter the dollar has endured. Every month, if we don't get a raise in pay, we'll take a cut in pay. Inflation is the silent tax! (and the Fed just modifies its data collection and reporting schemes in an effort to show inflation being falsely low http://www.shadowstats.com/ )

What do you think about the Dubai tower being completed sometime this year and the theory of tallest buildings forecasting crashes for economies? The "Towers of Doom" idea. If true, does that mean oil prices will fall?

Also, some have said that because oil is priced only in dollars, the reason we went to war in Iraq was to protect our currency (since Saddam was trading oil for Euros... and the terrorist thing was just a scare tactic to get the people to go along with it... and that's why we haven't found any WMD yet.). Therefore, Iran is next. What do you think?

Gas here in ontario canada is 1.02 a litter the highest it ever was is 1.20 and we thought we were paying alot and you guys are paying 3.00+ wow i hate the gas prices its way to much you cant even just go out for a ride anymore without worrying about money inles you work for the goverment or get paid $20+

That's $3.00+ per gallon,you're paying over $4.00

LOL opps sorry ya your right i thought it said 3.00+ a ltter lol sorry

JustRandy,

I am not skilled and have made plenty of investing mistakes early on just thought the oil stock's were cheap then and I think they are cheap now. I really don't need anymore so I haven't invested in the oil stocks since approx, june of 05 because the percentages of my portfolio in that area had increased where I take the dividends and invest in what I think is cheap now. If someone was starting out in the stock market and had 100% value I would invest 20% in the integrated oils at this point because of the long term outlook. We are not going to stop using oil.

The Dubai issue and the other links don't have a clue. I might be saying this wrong because it was a couple of years ago I looked at this and I assume you can see this on Google earth where they were selling the United States as small islands off there coast. You could purchase you own island state. As far as I know the first construction before the United States sale was sold. It increased there coast line by I can't remember how many miles. Dubai wanted to become the tourist destination of the that area.

opps my bad it was called the world islands.

The World Islands. 300 artificially created islands in the shape of the world. Each island will have an estimated cost of $25-30 million. I don't know if this sold though.

If I had to pick right now I would pick the island of New Zealand.

There petrol isn't cheap there either BP's price of $1.83 litre for 91 octane

i heard something on the radio the other day about them putting the fed tax on gas on hold through the summer. maybe i need to get a big gas tank and stalk up..

I think you're more skilled than most. Even the highest paid analysts are right only 51% of the time. The fact that you understand the dollar weakness sets you apart from the average citizen. Everybody thinks the reason gas is so high is that the mean ole oil companies are socking it to the american consumer. They don't understand the dollar is just not worth the paper its printed on. And you can't blame someone for wanting increasingly more dollars for their tangible product as the dollar continues to fall in value.

Oil prices make me nervous. Somebody is going to be the last guy to buy at the top. That person will buy when everybody is absolutely positive oil will go up forever just like they did in 2000 when they were buying internet stocks. If gas was $5000 a gallon, there would be no way for the economy to function. So, oil can't go up at this rate forever. Likewise, the dollar can't go down at this rate forever. Our currency would be in default and nobody would accept it as payment.

What has usually been the case is that oil and commodities would rise to the point that they would cool off the economy. Once the economy is slowed enough, the prices would fall back down and the cycle would start over. The problem this time around is that so many people are hurting from the housing market. So, the fed is keeping rates too low for too long to save the consumer. But, this is also throwing gas on the oil fire. Its going to be interesting to see how all this plays out.




I saw the construction of those on the discovery channel (or one of those learning channels). Those guys have too much money to play around with. One day, because of too high oil prices and the effects on the environment, the rest of the world will find a new energy source and will become less dependant on oil. Not saying oil demand will go away completely, but we are taking steps to loosen our dependence anyway. Its also going to interesting to see what happens to China's economy after the olympics. They've been growing by leaps n bounds the better part of the last decade. Something like 10% GDP growth is the norm over there. That can't go on forever either.

One thing I know for sure is that when your neighbor that knows nothing about stocks or the economy starts asking questions about how to trade,,, that's a strong indication that a top is near. That usually means the is no one left to buy. And that's exactly what happened in the spring of 2000 with internet stocks.

I think that was one of McCain's ideas.... Wasn't it? I heard it briefly on tv, but was too distracted to be sure.

Also interesting that the US/Canadian exchange rate is about 1 for 1. That hasn't happened since the 70's either. http://research.stlouisfed.org...series/DEXCAUS?cid=283
