Why do you "expect" this phenomenon and what do you have to back it up?

Probably part of his thinking is the Hormuz (sp?) passage...

True..... but I could never understand why people will sit in a hellacious Costco gas station line to save 3 cents a gallon. Could be because they all use the Costco Amex card to save 5%, but I don't have one...

It's all timing, I guess. I have never been there sitting in a long line. I do have their AMEX card.

Propaganda deflection tactic of the Non-producer 15 Trillion-Qe3 Exempt Ones.
15 Trillion+coming Qe3 is causing 100.00-150.00+/barrel, despite demand down.

In Indiana last week, $3.09, this week, $3.59. Thanks Obama, and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Strup, are you in northern indiana? if so, you can thank the Lassus Brothers. They have a completely monopoly of gas prices north of indianapolis.

No, I've never heard of the Lassus Brothers. I'm in central Indiana. But now, If somone coughs in the Middle east, or blows their nose, we pay through the nose for gas.

I've been watching these commodity markets very closely for decades. Oil has been held down over the past few years due to the global economy, and yet it's been trying to climb and recover in spite of that. It went from 70 to over 100 for no particular reason over the past few months, except that the investors and speculators wanted it to. The supply is fine, it isn't tied to the Iran thing, the price just rose because the market feels it is undervalued. Plus a dollar is worth much less than it used to be, I just feel that oil is like a race horse tugging at the reins and wants to run. As as soon as economies start to recover, I figure oil is gonna take off and knock us all back down, possibly into another recession. Take it with a grain of salt and wait. By summer you can say I was right or that I'm FOS, either way doesn't matter. |

It's been up and down for most of the year. Just early Dec. it was $2.99 in Indy. I see it all the time as I drive around. It comes down ever so slowly, 3.40 -3.20-3.10-3.05 for a few days, the bango, up to 3.29, then 3.39, now today 3.49. It's a game played by all the major oil companies.It used to be you would see cheap prices in different areas of the country, not now, it's all the same. I drive all over and see it. Years ago, there were so many oil companies, thus different prices, now only a few, so just a few cents difference.

I took the motorhome to mammoth before christmas. I did back flips at the gas station. Under 4 bucks for gas.
I guess its a perspective.

Last time I filled was $2.78/gallon here in Albuquerque. That and a 15 minutes commute and half real estate taxes for a bigger house makes me not miss NJ at all
