Oil @ $113 why is gas still over $3.50 a gallon

[alamantia]

wasnt gas like $2.80 something the last time a barral of oil was $113

[shortieee]

thank you mr. president! :)
i'm sure he's not in 100% cntrol of gas prices, but something definitely needs to be done now. it's come down drastically in the past few weeks yet we're still hanging WELL over $3.50 in most places.

I've found a few remote locations that are selling for 3.65 - 3.59 but they are the no name brand gas stations. Shell is still at 3.73, Sunoco 3.89, Hess 3.77 ... What gives?

[WildBillyT]

Why would the price drop? If I am making a ton of money from my oil sales why would I want to lower the price? To be a nice guy?

[SteveR]

3.53 @ Raceway on Rt 1 in Woodbridge.

So your saying big oil companies arent ethical?

[WildBillyT]

So your saying big oil companies arent ethical?

LOL. Business ethics is an oxymoron.

[enRo]

Prices of gas arent dropping because Diesel is still expensive, and it costs alot of money in Diesel fuel to send a tanker to deliver the gas at the gas station. Sounds like a confusing, never-ending cycle... doesn't it? :rofl:

what did you friggin call me?

[ShitOnWheels]

Hess was $3.63 for regular, $3.91 for super on rt 23 in wayne/pompton plains. It's been coming down pretty fast.

And I thought it was at $100 a barrel when it started going over $3.00 a gallon for regular? I could be way off though...

[JL8Jeff]

No, gas was still around $2.75 when oil was around $65-70 a barrel. That's why people complaining about it going to $4 a gallon didn't make much sense since oil more than doubled but gas didn't. Gas prices are supply and demand or demand and supply.

[DevilDougWS6]

gas IS going back down now, no? i only paid 3.99 for 94 instead of 4.21

[HardcoreZ28]

It's not going back down because the price never caught up with the jump in crude to begin with. I work for a major oil company during the day and trust me we are making next to nothing on oil this year....luckilly we're also into natural gas, electricity, and retail stores.

[Knipps]

3.55 @ a local Lukoil yesterday. I was surprised to see they were the cheapest around

[sweetbmxrider]

its funny because alot of the price of gas is state tax. i have noticed alot of road work/repairs in the past year. but that could be coincidental...

[DaSkinnyGuy]

Wow gas here in NC heapest ive seen is 3.69 for reg.

[sweetbmxrider]

north carolina is usually the cheapest gas in the country IIRC

[Ian]

north carolina is usually the cheapest gas in the country IIRC

nope, its usually New Jersey.

[SteveR]

NJ is usually the cheapest, and I think Georgia is usually the highest IIRC. or California

[sweetbmxrider]

yeah well that was back when it was 2 something a gallon. my bro was living in duram and it was the cheapest in the country at the time

[slugger27nj]

nope, its usually New Jersey.
Just wait til the moron we have for a governor and his cronies push to raise the gas tax to finance the depleted transportation fund...that'll change real fast. They're already talking about it again now that the prices are coming down, and could be as much as .20/gallon. Instead of trimming the waste, they want to stick it to us. We have the least efficient road system in country costing us $2.2 million per mile versus the national average of $128,000 per mile.

WOW, and to think, it's all because NJ didnt want to follow the rules. :lol:

And which one of these companies is making next to nothing? I missed it. http://uk.reuters.com/article/businessNews/idUKN3125663520080801

My favorite part is where they say that the reason they are making huge profits is because they have nowhere to drill or explore, so there is nothing to invest the profits in (an obvious plug to limit exploration and drilling limitations). To that I have two comments: 1. try investing in alternative fuels; and 2. wow, that must suck. I remember how miserable I was the last time I had too much money and nothing to spend it on. Maybe the remedy for that is to not make so much money? Nah, that would upset the shareholders.

[sweetbmxrider]

i thought thats what they were gunna do? cheap it up for the end of the summer then stick it to ya in the winter

[Knipps]

The state governments are complaining that they're not making enough money off the gas tax because people are driving less, their solution? raise the tax :banghead:

[NJ346]

Nope, last time gas was $113 a barrel was around May. In May I paid anywhere from $3.60-$3.90 a gallon for premium, so believe it or not, the gas prices are about the same. Last time gas was $2.80 a gallon the barrel was selling between $70-$80.

[98tadriver]

3.40something here 4 regular in south jersey but still 3.80 something for premium.. why such a huge gap between the two? i remember it being 10-15cents difference a while back

[bubba428]

its 3.42 here in AC and 3.78 for ultra

[BigAls87Z28]

usually abotu 20-30 cents difference from regular to high test.
3.55 at the Exon, everywhere else is lower by 10 cents or more.

[chemicalstylez]

3.40 for regular.... 3.64 for 93 octane in pitman....only place i buy gas now.

Gas Stations make very little money (if any at all) on fuel. Most of their money is made on service and/or convenience stores.

I work at a wawa here in Lanoka Harbor(I'm just a poor high school student), turns out our gas isn't as bad as the smaller stations. Most of our gas comes from the same refineries as Lukoil's. We're lucky if we make 3 cents a gallon on the gas, it's pretty much there just to draw attention to the store. Anyway, gas as of tonight is $3.48(87),$3.72(89), $3.84(92). My car is tuned on Wawa 92 :D

[SuperSweet]

3.49 REG/ 3.79 V-power in Union

Can you please PM that to Jamz28, or w/e his name is, so he quits saying that gas stations make 50 cents on gallon of gas...

[bubba428]

hahaha that guy is a ****ing moron...he has made an ass of himself on some other site i'm on...Wayfast has more respect from the car community than him.

[BonzoHansen]

:shock:

Ouch...

That may be worse than anything you've ever said.... :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Tsar]

Indeed, I think you are correct! :lol:

[NJ346]

Haha..poor wayfast...in a matter of 2 days(after his b-day), he went from having a thread congratulating him on getting his license, and now everyone just thinks of him=fail. Shoulda got a 4th gen :).

Anyway, back on topic, oil jumped big today for some bs reason, right now it's hanging around $121 a barrel.

In the overall scheme, Wayfast has always = fail. We only celebrated his birthday and he got his license, but since then he has returned to fail.

[NJ346]

Breakdown of prices at my Wawa in Lanoka Harbor: $3.35(87), $3.59(89), $3.71(92). We are about the cheapest within a 10 mile radius. Cheapest I've seen is $3.32 in Toms River last night at a wawa on Rt. 9. Cheapest premium I've seen is $3.69. Shell wants $3.91 right now, ***** that

[WildBillyT]
