Gas prices: up, up, and away!

Am I missing something, or did gas prices jump about $.40/gal in the US today?

I'm predestined to have free will.

Here in California we have them up to five bucks.

It cost me almost 45 bucks to fill my car up two days ago.

Your makeup is terrible, but I love you anyway.

Gas is outragoues in canaa too -.-

Where there is light, there is always darkness.

20 bux for 4 gallons? outrageous! fillling up a car for ONE day shouldn't be so hard >.>

I don't own a car yet, so it doesn't affect me, but yeah, it's pretty ridiculous.

KingofDarkness - 1.32 cents or $1.32?

Down under, our "petrol" is $1.45 a Litre. METRIC.

Hello, friends.

Cycling FTW. We dun have a car, but if it continues this way, I'll be coughing up more than our $2.00 fare for the bus. Thank clouds the L is electric.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

It's $4.00 here. Unbelievable. I heard it's going to be $5 in summer, and it won't go down again.

Last I checked in the paper, it was up to $4.34, or around there, in Chicago.

True... Ironically, Gov. Quinn, when he took office as interim Governor for Rod Blagoeviech, [I forget how to spell his damn name,] he issued a tax increase whiich would[and has] mad our food tax, food being a necessity, higher than our fuel tax, fuel being a luxury. Can't wait for Rahm's tax plan... Simpicity, with sensibility...

Although oil companies due make obscene amounts of gross sales, they are also taxed some of the highest rates and have to pay some of the largest fees for various forms of government regulation compliance of all industries. After this, they want to maintain enough profit margin to invest into exploration, new technologies, and shareholder dividends.

Since all companies are in business to make money, any taxes or regulations levied against the oil companies just get passed to the consumer in the form of higher gas prices. Other factors in the prices stem from speculative investors and corporate greed in the form of government lobbyists to push politicians to alter the tax code for profit (as we especially see with banks and companies like General Electric).

In my place the gas prices are about $1.23.9 per litre. I don't know what the future will be like...

Is there a shortage on gas or something? How come gas prices go up each time?

I have changed. I am different very different.

@Hull: I believe it's "do", dear Danny? But I digress...

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

@HullBreach
$1.32/L
we use liters in Canada, so i'm not sure how much that would come out to in the USA...

Where there is light, there is always darkness.

1 gallon =~ 4 liters, apparently. So, it comes to around the same price, I think.[I'm not the best at math, surprisingly]

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

For KOD it's $5.28 exact US price.
