So What Happened?

To the Chicago people, I was in Pontiac Il over the weekend, asked what I love about Missouri, gas prices was the first thing.

I can't remember who spoke of the barrel price. I linked spot and oil futures prices to current gas prices. Current gas prices correlate higher with futures prices more than spot or demand. Sad but true. :(

Tedsmommy, Costco!!! You are from St Louis aren't you?

What you listed. Isn't it rediculous? And they say it's because of barrel prices...which I think is hogwash! I think they are taking advantage of people and they have been for a long time now. I think we all need to boycot gas and go horse and buggy.....bet they start lowering their prices then. LOL

It's 3.99 a gallon where I live and I hear it's supposed to go up to 6.00 a gallon over the summer...

My husband owns an overnight camp for kids and I swear, I'm going to hang out by the waterfront all day and tell the boat drivers each boat ride can only be 5 minutes long because of how much gas is. I hope the kids can learn to waterski in 5 minutes!

3.84 a gallon. I cry a little every time i have to go get gas. I have learned to make a tank last two and a half weeks though:) So i actually am thankful for high gas prices. Only for the fact that i have to find other ways to get around with my kids:) I know that not everyone can do that though too. I joke I will sell my van if they get over 5 bucks. I may not be joking come summer time.

answers from San Francisco on

Mine is $4.35. I noticed if you get a car wash it goes down by .20 a gallon. Now what is that all about. Sounds to me like they are scamming us and have been for a long time. We need to boycott one gas company for a month atleast not a day. If that happens guaranteed the gas prices drop a lot. We as consumers have the power not the companies. If we don't buy they don't make money, it is that simple. Power in numbers people!
