Gas Prices Extend Painful Record: July 4 Marks 1,290 Days Above $3...

I know the disingenuous Obamabots are now all-in on boasting about record Wall Street Fatcat profits, but this is what really hurts average Americans. Soaring Food & Gas Prices are really puttin a hurt on people.


This Independence Day weekend, drivers won't see any relief from high gas prices. Although prices retreated by a fraction of a cent at the beginning of the week, AAA predicts holiday travelers will pay the most at the pump since 2008.

In its monthly gas price report released June 30, AAA said, "With Independence Day only a few days away, today's national average price of gas is $3.68 per gallon. This average is considerably more expensive than recent years for the holiday. The national average on July 4 in previous years was: $3.48 (2013); $3.34 (2012); $3.57 (2011); $2.74 (2010); $2.62 (2009); and $4.10 (2008)." The motorist organization expected prices to remain high throughout the month of July, ranging from $3.60-$3.70 per gallon.

"Prices could climb higher if there are new developments in Iraq or a major hurricane," AAA warns.

Reasons for the higher prices include "market fear about Iraq," which it said kept prices from declining in June. However, AAA still forecast that 41 million Americans would travel over the holiday weekend, most of them (34.9 million) by road.

The still high gas prices would extend the record number of days the national average for gasoline has remained above $3-a-gallon. Unless prices drop nearly 70 cents a gallon, July 4th will be the 1,290th day above that mark. USA Today reported in September 2013 that, for the first time ever, gas prices had been higher than $3 a gallon for 1,000 consecutive days - beginning Dec. 23, 2010, through Sept. 17, 2013. That streak of three-and-a-half years has not been broken...

Yea, we should be hoping that the bottom drops out of the economy again so we can get back to $2 per gallon gasoline like in 2009. :cuckoo:

Why stop there? Let's take it to 1999 and $1/gallon gas.

Which by the way equates to 60 cent gasoline when you factor out federal, state, local, and environmental taxes.
 
It's going to get worse unfortunately. With Saudi Arabia sending troops to the Iraqi border, the chances of a conflict in that region increase and that will effect gas price. This is precisely why we should be doing what we can to achieve energy independence.

Regulate gasoline and oil illegal to trade on the market. Cap regular unleaded and diesel fuel at $0.40, mid range $0.50, and premium $0.60 over taxes at the pumps. Any collusion by oil companies would come with a $10 million fine per incident, ie; number of customers per day times $10 million.

This proposal is fucked up beyond comprehension. Your two Teslas have gone to your head.

But I suppose anyone with a $157 million portfolio can say whatever they want to say.

Now if you would please- get on your knees and shine my shoes, Cub Scout.

Except voting and pot... The two things the far left does not want any regulation on.

There is no free market, it's fixed. The big three control 95% of gasoline sales in the US.

Why is it fucked up?

Gasoline companies made billions in profits in 2001 when gasoline prices were at $1.00 per gallon.

The only variable is the market. Remove the variable.

You're welcome.

To an extent you're correct due to OPEC.. however OPEC is still relegated by supply and demand which is the heart of a free market system..albeit somewhat manipulated.

You weren't referring to inflation you fat fuck.. you tried to compare a tanked economy to low gas prices ..

I would love to be able to argue with you but I can't in this situation.. I still don't believe in regulating the entire market.

There's too much unfettered greed, you have no choice. Remember,the 10 richest Americans made enough money last year to feed every hungry person on earth for a year.
 
Obama told you your energy costs MUST skyrocket - to save the planet?

You voted for him, showing your approval.

Now you're seeing your energy costs skyrocket and you're displeased?
