The price of oil has very little to do with the price of gas.

Consider, for example, the post-Katrina situation. Oil prices were way below where they are today, but gas was higher.

Gasoline is a commodity and there is a futures market for it, just like cocoa. One recent event was that one of the heavyweights, Goldman-Sachs, severely cut the size of their holdings in gasoline futures in their commodities portfolio. This precipitated a market selloff as other funds followed suit. To some extent, it's still going on.

Things will stabilize later this year.

$2.04 in Evansville, Indiana today.

Gasoline prices in Vietnam have been FROZEN for over two years.

94 octane = 12,800 dong per liter. (about $3.10 per gallon)

92 octane = 10,800 dong per liter. (about $2.80 per gallon)

Diesel fuel = 8,400 dong per liter. (about $2.10 per gallon)

Consider that most Vietnamese earn about $1,000 per year. Even expatriates don't earn very much money here--but it doesn't cost much to live.

Those are some big dong prices. Sounds big anyway.

Living in Vietnam requires that you pack a lot of dong in your pocket.

I guess that's better than carrying a lot of dung in your pocket. Ugh!

I am quite certain I would not want to go there.

$2.03 at that same station today.

There's a price war here in Lincoln, NE today with one chain going down to $1.99, and many others following suit. It won't last long, I'm sure. I filled up for $2.13 this morning on the way to work.

And I thought charging "an arm and a leg" was too much...

Want more money for gas?



Still a steal at $625.39.

... just filled up..at $2.37 a gallon....

Living in Vietnam has its advantages. When I visit Singapore I use these for tips.

Considering it's only about 4 cents US money (about 5 cents in Singapore money), it saves me a lot of money!

The diesel price a couple of blocks from me went from $2.55 to $2.44 this week. That's the lowest it's been since I got my truck in October. It was $2.49 then and the highest was $2.59.

I got gas today from all those spicy shrimp I ate yesterday.
Hariett told me to take it on the road until my body stopped producing so much methane.
I then filled my bike for $2.03 per gallon. I didn't even want to be confined in a car with myself. Oogie!

Well...the middle of the US seems to have the cheapest gas prices compared to you guys...last I saw was at $1.99

I used to dream of owning only a sailboat and a bicycle. Never could happen. Now I'm too old and portly to ride said bicycle more than a mile or so.
Hurricane Ivan caused the first gas rationing I ever experienced.

Bring back the Fiat 600. My dad had a 1964 model; bought it new. It got 41 mpg. It was about 2/3 the size of VW bug. Water-cooled engine in the back. The "heater" was a vent that allow air to pass over the engine radiator into the car.

alright whose got a tanker truck? Schlep can drive it.. looks like we're off to Caracas!

My son free lanced in the car business for 20 years off and on. We like big, zoomy, comfy cars. He can find me a servicable Bonneville, Park Avenue or mini-van for five grand, anytime, and it will usually go 100,000 more miles. When I finish with a car, it goes straight to the dump.
Only having to buy liability insurance and no car note I can live with 20 MPG. I also have room for all my horns, guitars, my wife and a huge P.A. system. I always spend $250 for a trailer hitch on any junker I buy. I own an 4 by 8 open trailer and can rent a 4 by 8 covered trailer from U-Haul for $10 a day. That's enough capacity to take the Creekers cross-country non-stop. One drives, one keeps the driver alert and entertained, and the third sleeps in the back.
