I paid $1.93 in Harrison, NJ on Sunday. Over $2 everywhere else. NJ has one thing so far that works for the person who has a vehicle and that is no self-serve (allow at least 10-15 mins longer to fill the tank) and amongst the lowest gas taxes per gallon in the nation. My daughter returned from Italy on Saturday and she said it was over 2 Euros a liter (about $10 US a gallon) for gas. As bad as it is here, at least we aren't really being gouged by the socialist states of Europe for gas.
Open up Anwar, Gulf of Mexico drilling and Canada tar sands and anything we can do to be less dependent on the desert countries of the Middle East.

Why exactly is it that gas prices continue to go up? This may be a dumb question but it was never clearly expalined to me.

"Some folks say it will drop back into the $20s per barrel. "
Those folk still believe the earth is flat also and polyester jumpsuits will make a comeback. (I'm still waiting for that $0.25/gal gas war.

Time is still worth more than gasoline

The Chevron where I usually buy gas went up from $2.57 yesterday to $2.65 today. I bought gas down at the Albertson's, where it was only $2.49. The cheapest place I'm aware of is currently $2.42 and has been for a week or so.

The price of crude goes up, the price of gasoline goes up. The price of crude goes down, the price of gasoline stays up.
Because the cost of the crude is only one of the factors in the price of gasoline. The bigger bottleneck is that demand is outstripping the supply of refined product, and that is almost entirely dependent on the refinery capability available. We are importing a significant portion of our motor fuel already refined, as there is no plan in effect to build or expand the refineries in this country.
Power everything with Compressed Natural Gas. Or Liquified Natural Gas. Refining of that fraction is unnecessary.

The liberals are still unhappy - all that money is going to the oil-producing countries and the oil companies, not being paid in taxes to the gubmint. Boohoo.

"Jack Daniels jumped about $2.00 this past year and that was less than a gallon."
Sounds like we need to invade Tennessee.

For the past year or so here around Milwaukee the stations will all jump up about 15 cents on the same day. Then over the next two weeks they will drop down about 10 cents. Net increase is only 5 cents, but you sure get screwed if you are needing a fill up on the jack-up day.

It's an oversimplification, but there's a rather large kernel of truth in it.
