Well i hope Forbes is correct. I'm paying $3.49 and would still buy it if it were $10.49 a gallon. The bottom line is....i need to get back and forth and i need to heat my house in the winter. They got us by the balls on this one.

I saw a place in the State COllege area that was selling it for $3.09. I think it was a SHELL gas station. But every other one I have seen go around $3.19

You know how they have those stickers at the pump saying that if you drive off with out paying you will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law? ... Well I just heard on news radio that they have enough gas but want to wait for gas prices to rise.

Were I live, there are 6 gas stations ... well last thrusday I wanted to get some gas before prices went any higher, but I couldn't because all 6 gas stations claimed they ran out of gas. I was so pist off the whole day cause i was running on fumes, and I could not go any further cause I could end up getting stuck w/out gas ... so I spend the day at home. Well friday at noon I tryed again hopping there would be a gas station w/ gas; there was but now prices were up a whole $1.15. I filled up the car; start driving to Bonita Springs, FL and reallize that all other gas stations are at least $.50 cheaper. And when I got back last night prices at the same gas stations were below $3 for reg.

This is insane, these gas companies should be prosecuted; and the dicks are doing this during a time of need ... Its insane that they can get away with this, the people should get together and do something about it.

I'm sick of watching gas prices rise ... its time to take action. If it could be possible, boycott pretoleum for a week, before winter comes. That would surely lower prices.

First:

[url:622c4]http://economics.about.com/[/url:622c4]

An artificial shrink in demand will not affect prices. You won't fool analysts with OPEC or Oil companies by not buying gas for a week. Instead, demand would be so great at the conclusion of that week that prices would likely rise for a time.

Second:

[url:622c4]http://news.moneycentral.msn.com/provider/providerarticle.asp?feed=AP&Date=20050829&ID=50707 86[/url:622c4]

Forbes claims the demand is speculative and inflated. Good news.


What would really help our country (and my city, Detroit, in particular) would be if one of the automakers finds a renewable, low-cost alternative energy source that we can make cars run on. There are current alternatives out there. Check this out if you're interested in saving some $: [url:622c4]http://science.howstuffworks.com/lpg1.htm[/url:622c4]
