Gas could sky-rocket soon

Well if gas does go up , I will probably start driving my Jetta (that is for sale) untill it calms down. I hate to put the miles on it since it is for sale, but it might save me a buck or two.
 
Just to add a little perspective.

Despite increasing regulatory burdens, taxes, etc., the power of markets tends to push energy prices down over time.

Media love to scream about any "crisis" of the moment. Anyone who is "sure" oil prices are going up is welcome to buy oil futures and get rich.

I remember when gas was in the twenty cent range and when I was in the USMC you could get a pack of Malboro's for 25 cents.

When I was stationed in Italy (71-74), gas was over $2.00 per gal at that time, but cigs were .15 per pack in PX. So, I quit smoking and bought an Alfa..........What a life.

Sounds like were both kind of old :)
 
I'm thinking of getting an Echo due to the "skyrocketing" price of gasoline. Surely that'll get me thorugh the deep wet mud of the Atchafalaya swamp here in Louisiana, or up those wondrous mountains in Colorado come May???
 
North of the border...

prices go up & down daily like whore's drawers. Currently fluctuating from C$0.84 to a high of C$0.89 per litre. That's U$0.73/L or U$2.76/gal at todays exch rate. It's only going to get worse.
Speaking of old... I remember when I paid my lowest price. Tanked up in '78 (when we still had gallons before they converted to litres) and I think the Can. dollar was almost par with the US. There were local price wars going on and I paid a nickel / gallon. That was just over U$0.04/gal to you guys back then!
 
WIth the gas prices so high lately, I have been driving my 75 mile a day commute in my 03 Jetta GL 1.8T the last 2 weeks. I dont reallly like leaving the Runner parked all week, but I cant argue with 33 MPG from the Jetta. I was planning on selling it, but several botched sales and soaring gas prices have talked me into keeping it for the summer at least. PLus im keeping the miles off my 4runner. I still manage to drive the runner when I go on little arrands around town.
