Gas prices going up?
The average price of gas has jumped nearly 10 cents in the past month.
Posted by Elizabeth Strott on Tuesday, March 9, 2010 10:32 AM
The average price of regular gasoline has matched its high for 2010, and many believe prices will continue to climb.
The nationwide average price was $2.759, according to the AAA Fuel Gauge report, which was slightly higher than this year's peak of $2.7583 from Jan. 14.
Car shopping? Line up financing first
Prices have climbed 9.2 cents per gallon in the last month, and are now about 80 cents higher than the $1.9625 average price seen at the same time last year.
Crude oil prices have risen 18% over the past month, which has contributed to the increase in gasoline prices.
Another contributing factor is the seasonality of gasoline prices. Prices typically go up in the spring as refiners switch to more expensive blends of gasoline and as drivers get on the roads more.
Gasoline prices hit an all-time high on July 17, 2008, at $4.114 a gallon, after oil prices surged to a record close of $145.08 a barrel on July 11, 2008. |

OOOOOOH! This reminds me...
"Walt's Donkey"-- Uptown Charlie Brown is one race away from securing a spot in the KY Derby... If he wins this one, he's in... if he places, then he has to place in another race before the derby... I think... not positive.
Anyway, he (the horse) was on the cover of a magazine... I don't know what it's called, but it's like the sports illustrated of horse racing...
Anyway, that horse is going to have some valuable baby batter if he makes it

Quality horse sperm as in the sperm of a triple crown winner is about $100,000 a pop. (or more) and no money back if if doesn't take.
3.47 for gas though, not going to dispute your number for sure, but if nothing has changed economically, how will John Q. Public take it? |

We were paying over 4 a couple years ago...so it won't be a huge deal. Just something to bitch about at the water cooler.

Given his relation to Phony, it's obviously NOT the human race.

Since the majority of those who post on here think my buddy phoney is a "horse's azz" , it's only natural the question was going to come up. |

I agree pap... If gas prices increased 30%, that's still probably less that 15 bucks a week for most people. There are more pressing issues
