So who the F knows. :mad::shakes head::thumbsdown::crying:

Check that. Last night it was $3.89. It literally went up 35 to 40 cents in a matter of days. What a scam.

:mad::wtf:

Yup, big oil is really sticking it to us. Just imagine if the federal government wasn't subsidizing oil as well. Our prices are actually low compared to other parts of the world. Now if only we had some alternative fuel solutions that don't involve filling the planet with rotting toxic lithium ion batteries. Good public transit would be nice also.

US gas prices are already alot cheaper than most places in Canada.

Toronto for example, today we had to pay $4.90/gallon for 87 octane, and $5.49/gallon for 91 octane..

BTW the US dollar is kind of at par with Canadian Dollar (with CND a tat higher)

Prices are just starting to catch up to this devaluation. If you think prices on anything are high now, just wait.

100% :iagree:

I'm not good at posting charts. Can you find a chart that also shows our country's increase of spending/debt for the same time period. We have devalued our dollar & increased our spending & debt more in the last 3 years than in the last 50 years. If these things continue, & we don't drill, & don't stop the export of gasoline, then look for $10 after the next 3 years.
I would suggest backyard ALGAE farming:icon17:

I'm not trying to start a political debate. And I encourage people not to. But I just want to point out, while America has had a ban on Iranian oil for some time, a lot of other countries have not.

The Iranian oil sanction doesn't directly raise U.S. gas prices, but it does drive demand for other source in countries that do use Iranian oil, which in turn raises international oil prices, which raises our prices.

Just don't be so quick to blame big oil every time :) They are responsible for a lot, no doubt, but not every time is their fault :P

Also filled up at 3.83 here tonight with 91(crappy, wish I had better in my area)

+1 typical market reaction to perceived supply potential disruption. Plenty of oil floating around. Love the speculators. Buy low and sell hi baby! :happydance:

Everyone start digging in your backyards for oil.
