The mean really is a freaking dope.  Did this jerk ever take a math class.   What's the point of trading in a car and losing a few Gs to save a few dollars in gas?   Does he even realize how dumb he sounds when he says this malarchy? 

Kenyanomics at its finest.

i talk to probably 2 dozen people each day who wonder why - despite owning the white house and both congresses - Bush didn't have the courage to start drilling domestically.

Another yawn from you.  He tried in anwr and pussified jerkoffs freaked out.

Another yawn from you.  He tried in anwr and pussified jerkoffs freaked out.

i remember millions marching against his iraq war.  his response?  "I'll continue this war even if me and my dog barney are the only ones who support it".

So try again, 33.  Millions weren't marching against anwr drilling.  Why didn't bush have the sack to drill it?  Of course pussbag libs like obama aren't going to drill - but why wouldn't a cownoy like bush do it?

(the answer is that mccian wouldn''t be drilling right now either - our saudi masters pwn us - but it's hard for you to separate repub/dem from that...)

Gas tops $6 in Hana; statewide prices set record again
By Gregg K. Kakesako

POSTED: 10:31 a.m. HST, Apr 28, 2011

The statewide average price for a gallon of regular gasoline has set new records consistently since April 20. The price in Hana is now over $6 a gallon.

The price for a gallon of regular gas broke the $6 mark this week in remote Hana, marking another record that is consistently being topped.

In its daily fuel gauge report AAA said the current average in the state of Hawaii for regular gas is $4.566 --  about a penny higher than yesterday's previous record price. Premium is at $4.74. That compares to $3.572 a gallon for regular gas and $3.848 a gallon for premium a year ago. The statewide average price for regular gas has been steadily climbing since April 20 when it first broke a record price of $4.51 set on July 31, 2008, AAA said.

In Hana, the area's only gas station is charging $6.03 for a gallon of regular gas as of Tuesday. The price for premium gas is at $6.25 a gallon.

"Everybody is complaining," said Nani Kahuila, who works at the station in the remote east Maui community. "But what you going to do...you got to pay it. Fifty dollars doesn't go very far now days."

Hana's price is not included in AAA's statewide gas survey, which covers the metro areas of Honolulu, Wailuku and Hilo.

Nationally, AAA says the national average for regular gas is $3.886 a gallon and $4.156 for premium.

Honolulu motorists are paying on the average of $4.455 a gallon for regular gas and $4.637 for premium gas. That tops yesterday's previous record of $4.447 for regular gas and is four cents more than a week ago, according to AAA.

In Wailuku, the average price for regular gas was $4.932 a gallon and $5.121 for premium. The price is slightly higher than yesterday's $4.931 a gallon and three cents higher than last week's price.

In Hilo the average price regular gas is $4.58 a gallon and $4.797 for premium. However, that doesn't top the record of $4.65 for a gallon of regular set in July 2008.

On Molokai, which gets its shipment of gasoline only once a month, the price for regular grade at its two gas stations was $5.16 a gallon and $5.24 for premium.

Kat Kaai, manager at Hayaku Gas in Kaunakakai on Molokai, told the Star-Advertiser that the next shipment of gas is expected to arrive by barge next month.

Gas prices over $4 a gallon again in Honolulu

The average price of regular unleaded gasoline climbed to more than $4 a gallon again in Honolulu, after rising statewide over the last month.

Today's average price of $4.01 a gallon in Honolulu is about a penny more than yesterday; four cents higher than last week, and six cents higher than last month. Gas prices in Honolulu are about 63 cents higher than last year, but still far below the record of $4.48 cents a gallon on May 6.

The statewide average price of regular gas is about $4.12 a gallon, up 2 cents from yesterday and seven cents higher than last month.

Pump prices continue to climb across the country even though demand has been anemic for July, which typically is one of the heaviest driving periods as Americans travel on vacation.

The national average for unleaded gasoline rose 0.4 cent overnight to $3.71 a gallon, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. That's 16.7 cents more than a month ago and 96.6 cents more than a year ago.

Analysts say prices will remain within a fairly narrow range for the next couple of months until there is more clarity on the economic front

The average price of regular, unleaded gas in Hawaii set another record today at $4.611 a gallon, largely because of a spike in the price of gas in Wailuku.

The AAA Hawaii Daily Fuel Gauge survey saw the average price of gas in Hawaii rise almost a penny from yesterday. Gas prices in Honolulu actually dipped by 1/10th of a cent and Hilo's gas price of about $4.75 a gallon was the same as Saturday. But the average price of gas in Wailuku rose almost 2 cents a gallon to about $4.84 a gallon.

In Honolulu, the average price of regular gasoline is $4.475 a gallon,  a little less than a penny below the Honolulu record price of $4.483, set on May 8, 2011. Gas prices are about 15 cents higher than last month in Honolulu and about a penny higher than last week.

Hawaii's statewide average is about 19 cents higher than last month and about a penny higher than last week.

The price of gas here is the highest in the nation, followed by Alaska at $4.37 a gallon and California, where prices average $4.27 a gallon, according to AAA.

Experts say the average price of gasoline could surpass $4 per gallon nationwide as early as this week. It's already $3.93 per gallon, a record for this time of year.

The increase nationally is due in part to seasonal changes in gasoline supply. It's the time of year refineries reduce output to repair equipment and start making a cleaner, more expensive blend of gasoline for summer.

Since 2000, pump prices have risen every year between early February and late May. The annual increase has boosted prices by 27 percent on average, according to the National Association of Convenience Stores. This year, prices have risen 14 percent, or 48 cents per gallon, since Feb. 1.

Strong global demand, heightened tensions with Iran and a smattering of supply disruptions have kept crude oil prices elevated for months. The oil used to make most of the gasoline in the U.S. has averaged $120 per barrel this year.

Distributors and gas station owners buy gasoline every day based on a price set on exchanges. Station owners then change their prices based on how much their last shipment cost, how much the next shipment is likely to cost and what their closest competitors are charging.

Even though it may not feel like it, gasoline prices do usually dip after their spring peak. Last year gasoline fell from $3.98 per gallon on May 5 to $3.55 on July 1 and finished the year at $3.28.

Also, summer gasoline blends improve fuel economy by 1 percent to 2 percent. That means drivers will at least get to go a little bit farther on that pricey tank of gas.

I think it's absolutely hilarious, not to  mention ironic that Obama's energy policies are being blamed for high gas prices, when nothing can be further from the truth. There's plenty to criticize & blame Obama for, ...but high gas prices isn't one of them.

For the first time in a long time, high gas prices have absolutely nothing to do with supply & demand.
Supply is high, and overall demand is low. The reason the prices are rising, is because the dollar's value is falling.

A devalued dollar buys less & less, so you have to give up more fiat paper money to acquire the same thing.
That's why I don't keep my money in paper. I keep my money in GOLD. as inflation rises, so does the value of my GOLD. My purchasing power is maintained. but you don't have to take my word for it... do your own research. The guys at Forbes certainly did.

Gasoline prices Are Not Rising, The Dollar is Falling

Panic is in the air as gasoline prices move above $4.00 per gallon. Politicians and pundits are rounding up the usual suspects, looking for someone or something to blame for this latest outrage to middle class family budgets. In a rare display of bipartisanship, President Obama and Speaker of the House John Boehner are both wringing their hands over the prospect of seeing their newly extended Social Security tax cut gobbled up by rising gasoline costs.

Unfortunately, the talking heads that are trying to explain the reasons for high oil prices are missing one tiny detail. Oil prices aren’t high right now. In fact, they are unusually low. Gasoline prices would have to rise by another $0.65 to $0.75 per gallon from where they are now just to be “normal”. And, because gasoline prices are low right now, it is very likely that they are going to go up more—perhaps a lot more.

What the politicians, analysts, and pundits are missing is that prices are ratios. Gasoline prices reflect crude oil prices, so let’s use West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil to illustrate this crucial point.

As this is written, West Texas Intermediate crude oil (WTI) is trading at $105.88/bbl. All this means is that the market value of a barrel of WTI is 105.88 times the market value of “the dollar”. It is also true that WTI is trading at €79.95/bbl, ¥8,439.69/barrel, and £67.13/bbl. In all of these cases, the market value of WTI is the same. What is different in each case is the value of the monetary unit (euros, yen, and British pounds, respectively) being used to calculate the ratio that expresses the price.

In terms of judging whether the price of WTI is high or low, here is the price that truly matters: 0.0602 ounces of gold per barrel (which can be written as Au0.0602/bbl). What this number means is that, right now, a barrel of WTI has the same market value as 0.0602 ounces of gold.... click the link below for the rest of the article.

Gas Price Record Worsens: 1,245 Days above $3 a Gallon
May 20, 2014
By Julia Seymour

Memorial Day weekend drivers will continue to take a hit as gasoline prices remain high.

May 20 marks the 1,245th straight day that the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline costs more than $3 a gallon, according to AAA data. That's nearly three-and-a-half years above $3 a gallon.

USA Today reported last September 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. Unfortunately, that awful record streak of sustained highs has not been broken. Gas prices dipped in the fall, down to $3.179 (Nov. 12), but surged again.

The national average on May 20, 2014, for regular gas was $3.642 a gallon, slightly less than the $3.653 a gallon average one year earlier.

On May 18, USA Today turned to the issue of gas prices again writing that "rumors about the demise of U.S. gasoline demand have been greatly exaggerated." Javier E. David of CNBC wrote for USA Today that international factors were keeping prices high and "defied the gravitational pull" of factors "that should blunt demand."

AAA's Memorial Day forecast predicted 31.8 million people will be driving over the holiday and that gas prices will be "relatively similar" to where they were Memorial Day 2013.

ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening news shows haven't spent much time on gas prices, lately. A Nexis search yielded only 11 stories mentioning what was going on with gas prices in the past three months.

Premium is $3.79-$3.90 here depending where you get it.  (closer to beach, more expensive)

I just returned from three weeks in Europe and after seeing the price of 1.96 POUNDS PER LITER in London at the Hyde Park station, I suddenly don't feel so bad.

[Dos Equis]

The fact people in other countries may pay more doesn't make me feel better at all.  I was talking to someone from Saipan the other day and she said they pay over $6 a gallon.  I'm glad I'm not paying that much, but it's approaching $5 a gallon here.  We are being gouged.
