Re: Gas Prices ?????

Re: Gas Prices ?????
 

Thanks for the site, Skool, but I gotta tell ya I think it's ludicrous that one branch of the govt' has a hand in raisin' prices while another branch is tellin' us how to conserve... >:( ??? >:(...

Re: Gas Prices ?????
 

$2.50 is that avrage here on the cape.

But watch California, They are going to set the price!! We will be $3 + next spring summer!!

You heard it here first!

Re: Gas Prices ?????

Re: Gas Prices ?????
 

MJ...Calif in certain areas is already $3.00+...I saw $2.49 here in Sptbg today...and we are a distribution hub...our entire economy is about to change forever... >:( >:( :(...

Re: Gas Prices ?????

Don't like to get political here but thanks GW for all of your help and your oil buddies! *Bill Mc

Re: Gas Prices ?????
 

You're right Mac...I saw GW on TV the other day walkin' up front step literaly "HOLDING HANDS" w/ Sheik Abdullah...like Yogi Beara said..."It's too coincidental to be a coincidense!"... ::)...

Re: Gas Prices ?????
 

My bet it will be $3 a gallon by the end of the year or in the spring right before folks think about gettin them boats back out on the water and takin vacations.

Fuel cost will hurt alot up north as well that rely on fuel oil for heating... I know it affected my bud in Mass. last year, they havent done so good buisness wise this year, cant imagine what he might face this winter. I told him,, "move south".

Wont be long... $3 a gallon....

Re: Gas Prices ?????
 

I just feel bad for the folks who are tryin' to get by...makin' a decision whether to buy food or gas to get to work would be a tough call...guess all the oil-rich and the politicians in their pockets couldn't care less... :( >:(...

Crime rate'll probably go up as people get more desparate...thinkin' about puttin' a hasp/pad-lock on my gas flap... ::)...

Re: Gas Prices ?????
 

Just got in from Emerald Isle NC and the Reg. Fuel there was $2.57 to $2.61. The Marina was cheaper though at $2.43.

GW must have his hands in the Pot for the Electric Car Dept. Too.

Speaking of Crime rate. Next thing people will start the siphoning of gas out of other people's cars again, just like the gas rationings. Better buy stocks in locking gas caps. Plus one for you own too.

Re: Gas Prices ?????
 

Saw $2.59 at Cherokee NC this weekend. Drove a mile around the corner and found $2.41. :-/ Never would'a thought $2.41 would be a "good" deal. :o

Re: Gas Prices ?????

Yup, puttin a lock on the boat tank.. that's 150 gallons.

Re: Gas Prices ?????
 

I paid 2.899 for 89 oct. at a marina here in NC this weekend . It sort of takes a little of the fun out of boating .

Re: Gas Prices ?????
 

OUCH how much does your's hold? That was a mean bill I bet. People will stop stealing cars now just still a loaded Gas Tanker. LOL

Re: Gas Prices ?????
 

60 gal. I figured if the oil and gas tank were empty I'm looking at over $200 ! I never thought that I would be able to afford a boat that held that much gas...

Re: Gas Prices ?????
 

We're $2.95/gallon at Cove Marina in Norwalk Harbor as of my last fillup on 8/2. Whaddya gonna do?! :P

Re: Gas Prices ?????
 

wow.... pay thru the nose I guess.....

Sad thing is... they said on the news it's not goin back down as in back to where it was a buck 50 to fill up,,, guess them days are gone....

I say we make the middle east a glass parkin lot and take their oil!!!! :o

Re: Gas Prices ?????
 

If we could just get the state and federal road tax off of marine fuel it would help . Or on the other hand that glass parking lot.......

Re: Gas Prices ?????
 

Save your gas receipts when you fill up you boat. You can claim the taxes you paid on the gas you buy for your boat as a tax deduction.

Re: Gas Prices ?????
 

Jeff, you wouldn't be offended if I checked w/my bean-counter on that one before I start savin' tickets... ;) :D...

Re: Gas Prices ?????
 

Not at all, Rap! :P Just remember, you can only claim the TAX you pay for the gas, not the whole gas bill. My dad has been doing it for over twenty years 8) !

Re: Gas Prices ?????
 

I posted 8/12 gas was 2.55 for 87 OCT....3 days later it's up .10cents [New York, Long Island]

Re: Gas Prices ?????

Re: Gas Prices ?????
 

Rather than one day, boycott the large companies and not just one day. Maybe if we effect their bottom line and their stock something might happen. Their profits are in the tens of billions (and higher) quarterly.

Re: Gas Prices ?????

Some Good News:

This was an AP article a fews days ago.

Forbes predicts oil will drop to $35 within a year
By Malcolm Moore, Economics Correspondent (Filed: 31/08/2005)

Steve Forbes, the billionaire business publisher, predicted that the oil bubble will burst inside a year and the price will plunge, as the impact of Hurricane Katrina sent the price of oil soaring to new record levels.



He spoke as Katrina shut down almost all the flow from the Gulf of Mexico, which provides over a quarter of the United States' oil. "I'll make a bold prediction. In 12 months you're going to see oil down to $35 to $40 a barrel," he said. "It is a huge bubble, I don't know what's going to pop it but eventually it will pop - you cannot go against supply and demand, you cannot go against the fundamentals forever."

Oil production in the gulf was down by 92pc, or 1.4m barrels, and gas production fell by 83pc as the hurricane threatened severe damage to the installations in the region. In response, the price of Brent in London spiked $3.22 a barrel to a record $68.09 while in New York oil was up $2.65 a barrel to $69.25 during late trading.

Analysts said it was unclear how much damage the hurricane had done to the 4,000 platforms and 33,000 miles of underwater pipelines in the gulf since few companies have been able to send helicopters over the region.

Shell said an aerial inspection of its Mars platform indicated some damage to its upper deck. Mars produces around 147,000 barrels of oil and 157m cubic feet of gas a day - 15pc of the Gulf of Mexico's overall production.

A spokesman for BP said there had not been any damage at its Mad Dog, Holstein or NaKika platforms but all of its 350,000 barrels a day in the region had been shut in. The US coast guard said seven rigs were adrift.

The Louisiana Offshore oil port, the largest import terminal in the US, has been shut, as have several refineries. The St Charles refinery, owned by Valero, is under 3ft of water.

The cut in the oil supply prompted the US government to promise that any shortfall would be made up from the stockpiles of the strategic petroleum reserve, which contains around 700m barrels. Last night one West Coast refiner applied for emergency supplies.

Mr Forbes said the whole concept of the strategic reserve was pushing prices higher. "The speculators know now that no matter what happens to the price of oil Uncle Sam is there buying almost every day," he said. "Stop the buying and in fact throw some of that oil on the open market, boy that would throw it in turmoil and send the price down."

The oil market has become a target for investors, since the returns have been significantly higher than those from the stock or bond markets in the past couple of years. Fundamentally there is enough oil to go around. Stockpiles are full and Saudi Arabia has promised to step up production to 11m barrels a day.


"This is sheer bubble speculation. I'll be blunt, there's hardly a hedge fund in North America that hasn't speculated on oil futures," said Mr Forbes. He added that when prices did fall, the impact would make the dotcom collapse "look like a picnic".

Dominic Bryant, an analyst at BNP Paribas, suggested that increasing oil production could actually fuel price rises, since there would be less spare capacity available to meet any future shocks. He said prices could keep rising if Katrina turned out to be as destructive as Hurricane Ivan. The damage Ivan did to the region's underwater pipelines took six months to mend and added $10 to the oil price in the month following the storm.
