Gas Prices

Up 30-40 cents a gallon in Alabama over the past 2 weeks.
Which is a 10-15 percent increase.
No one's pay goes up that much. Everywhere you go costs 10-15 percent more.
Those costs get factored in and passed on or that amount gets added to monthly bills.
Anyone talking about this? Any comment at all from our politicians? Media stories about how it is hurting middle class families? Stories about how Administration policies create a climate for high gas prices? How the evil oil companies profit off of regular Americans? War on the Middle Class? Speeches from Congressmen from the floor about the burden we are placing on families? Marches in the streets? Seems like a rather dramatic rise for something that everyone needs/uses.
I guess that Bush is getting wealthy with his oil buddies again. The influence of that guy is unreal ...

Gas prices reached their peak in 2008 at just over 4$ a gallon. People will start talking about the issue again when prices hit that level.

This can't be said enough.

Wonder if that's a state or regional thing. Gasoline prices in NH have gone up by only $0.009 per gallon in the past month.
"Including the change in gas prices in New Hampshire during the past week, prices Sunday were 3.6 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 0.9 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. "

People who complain about gas prices annoy the shite out of me.
In 2008, we saw gas prices hit $4 in 2008. While they declined quite a bit, they ramped back up to $4 in 2011.
So the thing is, its readily apparent, we need to come to grips with $3-4 gas. If you haven't changed your life to deal with this and it matters to you, you are a fricking idiot.
Get rid of the truck, get a hybrid, take the bus, move. There are a lot of ways to reduce your gas costs. have you done any of these or do you sit there and just bitch?

Supply and demand

Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.

As others have said, lifting the crude oil out of the ground, refining it, blending the gas up(gas just isn't gas typically, different grades for different parts of the country), putting it in the pipeline, vessel or barge for delivery to a loading rack, then into the truck to deliver it to the station, add in your bullshite ethanol and mandatory detergent additive and 3.50 a gallon is pretty cheap.

How long have prices been at or above three bucks per gallon? Let's take a look at that gallon of milk in the fridge while we are at it, oh hell look at food costs totally in the last five years.

Obama hasn't done shite to bring down gas prices since he's been in office.

I hate to admit it but I remember when a gallon of gas was less than 40 cents. LOL
The gas prices where I am are bipolar. Last Friday they were at $3.01/gal. Monday they were at $3.29/gal. Today they are $3.19/gal.
WTF?

Gas prices in BR have gone up only about 10 cents over the last 2 weeks.

I couldn't even tell you what a gallon of gas costs - 3 something. I just slide the card, pump and go.
Gas prices are never going down unless drilling and production technology drastically improves and we start getting more oil out of the ground more cheaply. You may see a domestic mini-glut here fairly soon unless we can start exporting oil again. The result will be lower prices, maybe down into the $70s/bbl. So in the short term you may see lower gas prices and laying down rigs in most of the major US oil plays. The glut will dry up, prices will go back up for oil and gasoline and the rigs will start drilling again.
So long term it's $3+ forever.
