Gas Prices - Taking it in the shorts

WTF? Price at the station up the street is going up 4-5 cents a day. It's up 25 cents in a week. It's up over 50 cents since mid-late January. BS that this is because the refineries are starting to gear up for the summer blends. Me no rikee.

If you do not like the price then do not buy the product.

They are just getting our poop chutes greased for $4/gal. Once they reach there, the skies the limit until fall.

There will be the usual frenzy to go buy one of those POS battery cars (which is what Obozo wants us to do) by the few people that can afford to spend 50-60 grand on a toy car.

It's already topped $5/gal in parts of California

Yeah, You can always get a ride on a Nigger Hauler if you don't like the price of gas.

It's already there. I saw +$4 regular at a bunch of places this weekend.

Gasoline has been somewhat underpriced relative to the price of crude oil. The crack spread for unleaded gasoline starts to blow out each year in March when the refiners retool for summer blend gasoline. Blame the high price of crude oil on central bankers. Bernanke committing to 85 billion dollars/month in December, and the Bank of Japan has laid out a plan to purchase 1.4 trillion dollars in assets each year starting in 2014.

^^^^

Almost right. Oil, as a globally traded commodity, will reflect the value of the dollar. Bernake is printing money like a drunk with a still. As long as the unrestricted money printing goes on, the prices of oil (and thus, gasoline) will continue to rise. Econ 101.

listen der leader's advice and check your tire air pressure.

Don't be surprised if gas is $6 a gallon by the end of his 2nd term.
