Might want to go fill up today

I beat the rush...

What could go wrong?

Saw the same gas pandemonium from Dallas folks on Facebook. Nuts.

Hey... wait a minute...

Best juxtaposition of avatar and reply I've ever seen.
Salute.

meh, I'm just trying how to profit from it.

You can trade the futures. Leverage and volatility. It's like gambling in Vegas on steroids. Be warned, it's not for the faint hearted.

That is about an extra $500 a year if you fill up once a week, so for a lot of people it is a big deal. I post in the LR, so I call that toilet paper, but for some, yes it is.

Must suck being a poor.

You are being very insensitive. Plus, this is not just a problem for the poors. Do you have any idea how much more it will cost to fuel my G550? This actually has me thinking about downgrading to NetJets. This is a serious issue!

Even though prices fell yesterday over 40 cents and they now sit about 20 cents above pre storm levels, local stations still rose pricesanother dime overnight.

Like RRR, I don't know what it costs, and frankly...I don't care. If it goes up $.50...it will cost an extra 6 bucks in my tank.

Let the prices go up. You are still going to pay for gas. Let the companies profit.

When I can hand over 3 bucks and go twenty miles I feel like I profited. YMMV.

You have a 12 gallon tank? 50 cent gas hike not that big of a deal. But you start getting to 1-1.50 and it will hurt many and cut into people's fun money. Keep the math easy and say family has two cars and 15 gallon tanks they use weekly and gas goes up a dollar then suddenly the family has 120 more dollars per month it needs to come up with....not devastating for many but that money will be pulled from misc stuff like eating out, clothes etc.

The most amazing thing in gas prices is how, yet again, Americans returned to bigger cars and stopped worrying about mpg after it went down as if this was not destined to happen again.

It's our own fault for being so myopic. We should be building resilient and redundant transportation systems.

The price of fuel goes up? Good thing we've got alternative fuel vehicles, or I can choose to walk, ride a bike, take transit or work/go to school from home.
