With al-qaida looking attack the Saudi oil fields the price will keep going up.

When they do gas at 4 will look a steal.
Myself, think it is just a matter of time before they pull off an attack.





Will not change what car I buy next but it will cut down on the amount of driving I do about town.

Actually I call on the gas companies, the price for a barrel is only a few dolloars more now than when we were paying $2.50 last year. Now we are paying $3.50 + and the price for a barrel is about $63-65.

But as long as Big Oil has our government on it's payroll then there's nothing we can do.

theres somethign wrong in WA.......gas prices are still one of the highest in the nation.

+1 for oregon too. It's pretty silly. I may have misspoke. I paid $3.45 for chevron yesterday...almost to $3.50. The west coast always gets screwed.

$2.85 Shell V-Power in NJ last week. NJ has the lowest state gas tax, therefore one of the lowest prices in the country. its also full serve, so it would be even cheaper if it was self serve.

Might be so but the reason for recent surges in gas prices is because http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...id=aIceRk2dJp8Q

Nigeria is the 7th leading country supplying petrol to us however, corrupt elections is causing prices to surge.

I don't think prices will affect which car I buy. The way I look at rising prices of gas is, the higher the price of gas goes up, the more money I need to make.

But in all seriousness, I think if you want to play with the big boys, you have to keep up with the big boys. Don't buy something you can't afford.

that is the most f-up part about gas prices. gas is sold as futures. so the $3.50 per gallon you are paying are from barrels that was brought last year at the higher prices.

I was asked this question yesterday and I don't know how much gas cost in my area.

Washington has the highest gasoline tax in the country... and scheduled to go up more!

There is also an infrastructure issue in Washington with a severe lack of pipeline capacity... coupled with refinery issues the market simply responds with higher prices.

I paid 3.53 yesterday and expect to see it go up this summer.

What sucks is that there are several refineries within 50 miles of where I live, Chevron's corporate headquarters are in my town and there are NO infrastructure issues, and still, we pay $4.00 a gall for supreme, $3.60 for regular. It is all about how much each area will pay. There is no reason for gas to be the price that it is where we live if you go by supply/demand/delivery costs, and yet, where we live, price is always the most expensive of just about anywhere in the US. It is the same thing in certain places in socal. Numerous oil fields, refineries and infrastructure, but very high prices.
