Get Ready To Pay Four Bucks A Gallon
NEW YORK - Consumers can expect retail gas prices to rise to $4 a
gallon soon, but whether they stay there depends on the long-term damage to oil facilities from Hurricane Katrina, oil and gas analysts said Wednesday. "There's no question gas will hit $4 a gallon," Ben Brockwell, director of pricing at the Oil Price Information Service, said. "The question is how high will it go and how long will it last?" Is the modern muscle car era over, and is return of the Mustang II just around the corner? Patrick '93 Cobra |

The hurricane hit on Monday. Prices at my local station went up 30 cents/gallon since then, ON GASOLINE THEY ALREADY HAD IN THE TANK. Right now, I see no difference between the looters and the gas station owners. dwight |

You remember, dwight. You couldn't give away a "gas guzzler." The old muscle cars were pushed out to pasture. It's now set to happen to our latest breed too. Not to mention the scores of overweight SUVs. If gas prices continue to escalate you'll be able to buy any of those "big rigs" for the paper money you happen to have in your wallet. Imagine a big sign... Hummers, 80% off. And to think, GM recently put all their fresh eggs into the SUV market by killing investment in new sedans in order to rush a fresh set of big SUVs to market... Patrick '93 Cobra |

They charge based on what it will cost to *replace* what is already in the tank. That's Business 101. |

Yet, when the price to replace the fuel goes down, they say 'but we paid the high price for what's in the tank now'. IMO, fair pricing picks one or the other, not the highest at any given time. The only solution is to not buy (as much). |

One particular station near me went from. $2.89 to $3.47! sometime Tuesday. I think they are all past $3.00 for regular. Hell, I gassed up the boat at the beginning of the season @ $3.00 marina price, which was high at the time. I'm thinkin' of drawin' down the tank to feed the cars, now. -- John C. '03 Cobra Convt. |

I like the idea of lighter weight cars.
