It may not be U.S. refineries they're talking about, but I have no doubt it is affecting our prices in a big way.

"I've got to think we're close to the end on increases," said Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research Inc. in Cambridge, Mass.

However, Lynch thinks prices could rise another 10 cents to 15 cents before they reach that peak and begin falling.

=============================================

My predicition... prices keep creeping up to the 3.70 range... then slowly settle back dowin in the 3.20s startging late summer.

I hope you are right. Something seriously wrong when I'm happy paying $3.20 a gallon for gas. :bigcry:

I hope so. It seems to me that any time some financial "genius" :rolleyes: :rolleyes: opens his mouth with a new projection, it's pretty certain to happen. (ex: "Even though gas is currently $2.99, we're predicting gas to reach $4.00 by summer" means that within 13 1/2 minutes gas goes up by $.24, then continues to rise every time someone blows their nose.)

so i can officially give up on ever seeing prices below 2.50...........i am getting old...i remember my mom giving $ 10 to fill my car and telling me not to waste my gas cause she wasn't giving me any more money....and i would ride for ever on the $10 worth of gas..... I almost feel for kids today.

Well, if my theory holds true, you need to "state" it will be below $2.50. After it hits $5.00 (because jason opened his mouth first), it will drop below $2.50. Of course, I forgot to tell you that "seeing" is all you'll do, since you had to sell your car before it hit $5. ;)

The lowest price I ever remember seeing was 69 cents here
in Sweetwater in the mid eighties.:eek:

[bccards]

back in 1998, I remember gas prices in Bridge City were down to .53 cents/gallon, that was only for a very brief time, but it hovered around .89/cents most of that year. Boy, what I'd give to fill up my truck for under $25.... I filled up yesterday @ $3.45/gal and it cost me $85.00

[PHS Wildcats]

acording to ABC News, it'll probably go up about another .60 over the next 8 weeks, before we see it starting to fall.

[Ranger Mom]

So this could be a reality??

Does anyone besides me remember "way back when" some places actually had rationing and "gas lines"? Now you've got doofuses (my apologies if I'm talking about anyone on here :p ) hauling butt in their Hummer.

[Chopblock]

I can remember the gas lines
My family were fuel jobbers, we owned 5 gas stations at one time
I can remember going to work when i was 8 yrs old and pumping gas for 23cents a gallon
I remember a woman handing me a 5 dollar bill and telling me to fill it up
I can also remember the 1st time I saw it over 1 dollar a gallon, 1978 in Natchez Mississippi, we were on vacation, had to wait in line for 1 hr to get gas, and they limited us to 15 gallons.
We got back to Elgin and dad figured the price, it was actually costing them 79 cents a gallon
