How high is gas going to go before the economy collapses again?

[웃 910]

It was $4.15 for regular yesterday...Today it probably jumped again!

If you have a truck it is definitely over $80 to fill....A 4 door sedan with a V6 - most likely $65 or more!

I predict we will see $5 late this summer before it starts to go back down.

Food prices are starting to reflect it as well....

It could get a lot worse if they keep devaluing the hell out of the dollar.

The value of the dollar and gas prices are on par for what they were 3 years ago... sucks.

I heard a few weeks ago gas would be 40% higher by the end of summer. A few weeks ago it was mid-$3 range so you're looking at about $5.50 by end of summer. I'd say they're right on par with the prediction.

What I don't understand is why people didn't learn from the last fiasco. If you haven't changed your life to lessen your dependence on gas, I don't feel sorry for you.

We will DEFINITELY see $5 by summer.

My company does work with an oil company, and back in January, they were saying yep - $5 by June.

So we shall see.

($4.30 for regular here, by the way. Eeeegh!)

I agree with your observation from the POV of people that drive gas guzzlers.

I'll have to look at the price again here, I could have sworn it had stabilized. I honestly don't fill up very often, may once every week and half or so.

The dilemma;

Falling $ + Increased Global Demand + Regulation + Greed + Pork = Higher Energy Costs.

Add to that, the current administration thinks, keeping the $ down will help control inflation.

Oh, how we march, step by step to "Austerity".

Isn't it wonderful?

Our Government will sacrifice all of us to save itself.

I think alot of people have learned but enough is enough. My husband and I car pool, I often take the bus, and we have a smaller car, however, gas is still our biggest expense. it's sickening

Dependance on gas in my case refers to driving to work. I do very little vacationing. What should I have done? Not go to work?

We need to start using our own resources to drive the down cost until alternative sources become more affordable.

What is often forgotten is that gas guzzlers have a purpose.

A purpose that not everyone needs to fulfill.

With these gas prices trust me people are doing everything they can to leave there gas guzzlers at home but like I said before its not a option for many people.

How can gas be a bigger expense than say, food, shelter, entertainment, etc.?

Find a job closer to home or move closer to work. Buy a more fuel efficient car. Ride a bike. Seek alternate forms of transportation. Carpool.
