It's like everything is designed let the oil companies suck the maximum amount of money up without totally killing the economy. The news stories are just a cover up or a convenient coincidence.

It's been this way for almost 10 years. It really got in sync around the end of 2004.

Also, 2 years ago, the oil prices dropped pretty quick when the price/availability of electric cars from small manufacturers became more readily available.

I think that the oil companies realized that if they get too crazy then:
1). They kill the economy & then noone buys
2). Alternative fuel/electric cars become more of a competitive market.

Yeah it is crazy it is 1.01 here, was 89 just a couple weeks ago!

You must have been looking at the octane rating instead of the price.

Dude I've been using my moms suv 4runner to get around places with my wife. I fill it up with $20 it only gets like bit close to half tank ....maybe $50 will fill it full. Hoping I can be done repairing my festiva tomorrow! Though at least my Harley gives me almost 60 mpg when I go to work

With `the price of gas going up, I thought I'll go top off the tank. Already had a half tank. I was almost at the station I usually go to, when I realized I forgot my cash. No problem I'll just go to Shell since I have a Shell Card. Passed by my usual station. (3.25 per Gallon) When I got to the Shell their price almost gave me a heart attack. (3.43) I got 4.362 gallons. It cost me 15.00. Won't be going back there anytime soon, and I'll make sure I have cash in my pocket before I leave the house.

Notice how the price moves with the stock market? (Dow Jones, Gasoline, Crude Oil)?

Yes, I understand there's unrest in the middle east, but I think it's an excuse to rip us off.

Yeah, it's BS. It's funny how they never discount the gas when things are going good.

Record high fill-up in the Festiva last night- $29 @3.35

[getnpsi]

4.09 premium tonight. Tomorrow it will be 4.13 or something.

[freshtiva]

Summer is coming. $4.00 a gallon is coming too. Probably before Summer.

Festivas for the win !!

[JPT]

it's now $3.39 here. In less than one week, the price has gone up 12 cents!

[wybnrml]

It's up to $3.29 here. In 6 days, fuel has gone up $.24.

This would fit with my graph hypothesis.

Wow, that's just like mine...except this one has more miles & at 3X'S THE FREAKIN' COST!!

Seriously, the KBB value is only like $1,500 for mint condition. If someone pays $2,900 they should be kicked in the balls for not knowing how to use a search engine.
