Gasoline prices are about to skyrocket, aren't they?

[badger]

I remember them being about $3.25 when I was on campus my final semester at OU, fall 2005. I was a poor college student that needed to commute from an off-campus apartment. I was really not liking the gas prices then.

Now that I'm employed and all, the gas prices don't sting as much, but as all may recall, the culprit of the high prices was Hurricane Katrina that semester. They sank back to $2ish in the Norman again by early late 2005/early 2006.

So, Obamafest readers, my question to you all is:

1- What is your current regular gas price per gallon (Tulsa is $3.58 this morning)

2- What do you think it will be when Tropical Storm Issac hits our gulf region (My prediction: at least $4)

3- What impact will this have on the presidential campaign (My prediction: President Obama will get hated on more, justly or not)

[Mississippi Sooner]

Tropical storm in the gulf equals higher gas prices. You can bank it. Especially when they've announced that rigs have been evacuated. I can't speak for Oklahoma, but they were already around $3.90 here in central Illinois. I'm sure they'll be north of $4.00 very soon.

For the record, I don't think President Obama should be blamed for gas prices, or the economic downturn that follows high gas prices as prices for everything else goes up with gas.

But he will be.

[KABOOKIE]

$3.63 here in the Wichititty.

[C&CDean]

Paid 3.53 this morning in Pauls Valley. Paid 3.69 for ****ing farm diesel last Friday in Maysville. Regular diesel is pushing 3.90.

Yes he will be...just as Bush was pandering to big oil...turnabout is fair play... :)

3.63

Pushing 4 bucks

It isn't going to help him...he patted himself on his back for increased crude production so he can take the heat for the higher fuel prices...prices should drop (without any other bad news) to current levels by election time...another hurricane or two and added trouble in the ME and they could climb significantly...

I thought some big-assed refinery in Peru or Venezuela blew all to hell?

[ouwasp]

It was $3.46 yesterday at Wal-Mart in Pryor. Think what prices will be if/when Israel hits Iran...

[okie52]

My Walmart which is usually one of the cheapest places in Edmond was 3.59 while a ConocoPhillips was 3.48 and they are usually high

[olevetonahill]

It was 19 cents in march over in Panama Oklahoma

[Sooner5030]

diesel just north of olympia, wa was $4.43 this weekend.

[hawaii 5-0]

Regular gas in Hawaii is between $4 and $4.20

I heard it would be over $5 on the Mainland this Summer and didn't see it.

It was $3.07 in parts of Virginia in July.

5-0

[Boomer.....]

Up $0.15-0.20 this morning.

[badger]

Wow, I can predict the future, can't I? Not that I should be bragging about forseeing something that's going to skunk the economy.

It was $3.69 this morning here in Tulsa, up from $3.57 yesterday. QT stations are kind of sporadic in their pricing, jumping a dime, then down a penny per day, but I can only see it going higher.

[rock on sooner]

3.63 in Des Moines...just jumped a dime on Monday...it'll get
to $4.00 almost certainly. Shut down in the Gulf, a refinery fire
in California and a big fire in Venezuela...they say bad things come
in threes...

[badger]

Still $3.69 today.

I really think that after this storm passes they have to go down again... then again, people have to buy, regardless of what the price is.

Don't think the prices will go anywhere until well after Labor Day...too
much driving demand...

[Mississippi Sooner]

$4.02 in Staunton, Illinois this morning. Right on cue.

[8timechamps]

Filled up today downtown (Denver), $3.32 for regular, $3.53 for premium.

THIS^^^
You ain't seen nothing yet!
$3.57 for 100% gas in NW OKC.
(Cali refinery explosion last week doesn't help any.)
But, Obama bares the blame for supressing expolration and transport pipeline stopages!

Was prolly Chavez's head exploding!

[badger]

Day three of $3.69. I suppose Labor Day weekend travel will keep em from going down.

[SoonerAtKU]

Was prolly Chavez's head exploding!

Nah, probably CIA.

[CowboyMRW]

3.79 in Tulsa this morning. Yesterday, while leaving Virginia, I filled up with Diesel for our work trucks and it was 4.19. Stayed around 4 throughout West Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri.

[badger]

It was 3.69 this morning and 3.68 on the commute home. Qt in tulsa is weird like that... raise it a dime, down it a penny...then another penny... then another penny... then raise it a dime!

People just need to change their driving habits. I think they already have in the past decade, they just need to again

Where was it 3.69?

Downtown and near 71st and Riverside. If you go a bit more midtown those are usually a cent or two cheaper than the downtown/71st ones.

[soonercruiser]

Still $3.59 for no ethanol in NW OKCity this afternoon.
