$4.24 last night at Mobile. F that place. If I would have just gone down a few blocks farther 89 octane was $4.04 at BP. I fill up maybe twice a month though seeing as how I only drive 1.5 miles to the train station. Looking into doing a few things within the next month.
For me:
(Option A): Buy a vespa scooter to make the 1.5 mile haul.
(Option B): Trade in my 370hp 15mpg car for an 07 A4 Quattro 2.0T.
(Option C): Trade in my 370hp 15mpg car for an 07 Toyota Camry Hybrid.For my wife:
Trade in her shite on gas Jeep Liberty for an 06-07 Lexus LX400h or Ford Escape Hybrid.F big oil.
- Even though you are bigger than me, I will slap you if you get a hybrid.jawks
- Haha. Between you and I I'm leaning towards the A4. Red. Tinted windows. :) shhhhh...kona
- You damn well better! I mean.. uh, good choice bro! :)jawks
- The wife is just fed up that I have a better car than her. haha. She's first on the list. She deserves it.kona
- Just don't tell her they also come in shape of RS'. You'll never get to borrow it. Ask me how I know. ;)jawks
- haha yeah she already saw that one on the lot. haha. I was like "Uh uh... ain't gonna happen."kona

I just paid $4.19 a gallon today in Philly. Over the weekend I met up with a commodities broker, they are forecasting $6- per gallon by the fall of 08. $10- per gallon by 2012.

- Commodities broker?
No.hedge - Reality check: your president, whatever shape or form, doesn't have influence over oil prices and/or speculation.jawks
- That too dude. Jawks is wise beyond his years.kona
- Thank you, jawks, organic just cannot seem to get that through his thick head.hedge
- It's okay though, keep blaming Bush for all your problems.hedge
- I am far from the only person in the world blaming Bush. Global approval rating for Bush: 11%organic_grid
- While I don't know enough about us politics to have an opinion, having a WORLD survey for one ...jawks
- ... country's president is like asking people in Colombia how they feel about commuting in Danish traffic.jawks
- Meaning, my opinion doesn't mean squat.jawks

So what do you all attribute to these insane oil prices?
The increase in demand and the inability to supply enough oil? Is OPEC strategically slowing production?
Demand certainly did not shoot up overnight, so why have oil prices?
- Spe-cu-la-tionhedge
- Elaborate, please.designbot
- Oh, and the dollar too.hedge
- did it spike, obee-wan?madirish
- cause the dollar is not tied to oil valuation at alll....... oh wait.madirish
- Well, when numerous people become long of oil, prices inflate.hedge
- 100% speculation. I wrote a long post a while back on the subject but can't seem to find it.jawks
- which is a clear indicator in manufacturing market prices subservient to demand, no? thus, the rub. pretty elementary, really.madirish

No metrics please. It's bad enough that you're all quoting in these obscure currencies.
