Farging gas prices

[QB Eagles]

Oil closes at record above $75

Someone seriously needs to take journalists aside and explain to them what inflation is, and how to account for it in news stories. Adjusted for inflation, the record price of oil was during the 1980 oil shock, at around $95.

I wouldn't be surprised to see us surpass that sometime in the next couple of years though.

2.79 for Diesel. I'm actually paying less and getting good mileage. YAY!

Ha! Just wait until the new diesel regulations kick in.

3.04 for reg on the way to work, 3.19 on the way home

[Father Demon]

Whew...   still $2.81, so I filled up both cars.  I expect tomorrow to be higher.

Seems like I stumbled upon this "work from home" thing at just about the right time.  Before -- 22 miles each way.  Now -- 3 feet each way.

It's between $3.01 and $3.05 for regular up here.

Wake me up when its back to .99 again.

OK, Rip Van Winkle.

Ha! Just wait until the new diesel regulations kick in.

Because this grade of fuel is comparable to European grades, this standard may increase the availability of diesel-fueled passenger cars in the U.S., since engines will no longer have to be redesigned to cope with higher sulfur content. European diesels are both more advanced technologically and much more popular with buyers than those available in the U.S.

Seems all good to me, plus the June 1st start date has come and gone. With most good being shipped by overland trucking they can't let the prices go up that much. otherwise prices for everything go up as businesses pass the cost onto the consumer.

ExxonMobil just announced a 10.36 billion quarterly profit. 

[Diomedes]

I'm sure they earned every penny, and the grunts on the platform will be seeing a nice chunk of that take.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I guess it's time for a Democrat in the White House.

Either it will prove that it wouldn't have made a God-damn difference, or gas prices will drop because the oil companies will be more strictly policed against fleecing customers.

Or gas prices will increase because of greater regulation on the oil industry.  Whatever.  I'm willing to take that risk.


P.S.  I was excited to only pay $3.049 for premium just off exit 266 (Lebanon/Lancaster) of the PA turnpike.

Did you notice that gas prices in Bethlehem were like $2.86/gallon yet when you get down to Philly, they're like $3.35?

How is that possible?  Philly doesn't have a $.50/gallon gas tax, do they?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Did you notice that real estate is much more expensive closer to Philly than it is near Bethlehem?!?  WTF!

[Rome]

Real estate prices in and around Philly are absurd.

Phreak & I were talking about that on our extended tour of the Lehigh Valley the other day.

Did you pick up any more of them Saucon Valley chicks?

I hope you've had your shots.
