I drive all over the south here and I am finding that I pay anywhere between 2. 41 per gallon all the way up to 2. 75 per gallon. I usually use the flying J where ever I go as they usually have the cheapest fuel prices around and it's nice to get that extra cent off with flying J rewards.

RE: Gas Prices

SLC Utah= 2. 74 Wyoming I paid 2. 67 and filled it to the top. I think the commodity brokers are getting a lot carried away with pushing up the price of oil. Seems to me to be another Enron bull crap deal. They sooner or later will start shorting the oil market and then the price will fall. The excuse they are giving about China using a lot of oil just doesn't seem right. I sure don't see or hear about chiness people driving diesel pickups or driving in general. Thanks

Supply & Demand

The demand for diesel and light distillates has risen and taken away most of the surplus capacity in our U. S. refineries, which are running full out to produce as much as possible. The economic growth in the U. S. has bolstered higher demands and the futures for home heating oil are rising, therefore adding to the rising costs. In addition, the amounts of available heavy crude are passing the lights and mediums, so it takes a bit more process to squeeze out the various distillates, so those additional refining costs are passed on to the consumer. Add in the global growth in Asia and the demand worldwide takes another hit. The last refineries built in this country were late 70's, early 80's! The last refineries built in the world were where? You guessed it... China!



I sell automation to the refining industry so I understand some of the economics. Are the refiners enjoying record profits? You betcha! Are the EPA demands in the U. S. causing us to pay more for fuel? Again, yes! This was probably more than you wanted to know, but we'll be paying north of $3. 00 until the supply exceeds the demand!

RE: Diesel Prices

Yes I have heard all of those points of view. But this crude oil price thing was started when Opec finally band together and controled production. And yes China has built a or even some refineries but that does not dry up oil supplies around the world. The way I see it the price is on the way up and commodity traders are having a feeding frenzy and opec sure likes the extra $ for less product. One thing for sure when prices go up enough then free enterprise will find more oil to sale. That is when the shorts will come in to lick the plate clean.

 

[TMarszalek]

Brett,



No matter how we slice it, those "points of view" are actual fact! You can look up the data on the web. The leftist tree huggers :{ , who are anti-free enterprise, prevented upstream oil companies from drilling anywhere in the U. S. including ANWAR, so our dependence on OPEC has gone from 24% in the 70's to 63% in 2005. South America is putting the screws to us also with their little skirmishes :-{} that affect crude production. If Bush #1 was able to put his energy plan into effect, we'd be getting crude right now from ANWAR. I totally agree with you about OPEC, and the futures traders, but we are going to have to elect people to our government that aren't "politicians", but servants! :-laf



... My editorial comment for Saturday, August 27, 2005!

 

[rrausch]

And you simply can't ignore the effects of immigration. Since 1972 we have taken in over 50 Million Immigrants, who together with their kids have placed huge demands on our energy supplies. (and the supply of everything else too. )

 

[ProspectorTim]

$2. 49 in Millington, TN (Memphis area).



Expect everything to go up again next week because of the interruption of production as they evacuate the drilling platforms in the Gulf of Mexico in the path of hurricane Katrina. Yeah, I know; they will use *any* excuse to raise prices.

 

[darkhorse]

ANWAR is a drop in the bucket. If it's oil were for sale, would it not go on the world commodity market & find it's way to China or the highest bidder? Bush's energy plan is a bad joke on the public & a boon for the oil industry. Face it folks we are sucking the stuff up like there is no tomorrow.
