Gas Prices Jump

[Intrepidation]

I haven't seen any news articles yet, but overnight gas prices jumped anywhere from .10 to .20 overnight in my area.

What's the cause this time? The Israel / Gaza war?

That's about all I can think of... I got gas for $1.49 3-4 days ago, it's $1.89 now.

It's thought that Israel is gearing up to attack Iran before Obama takes office.

[trinacriabob]

Yeah. I went from $1.53 at Safeway, with club card, to about $1.76.

[loki]

I noticed it earlier today. The Citgo that the wife goes to often is up to $1.69, a jump of maybe 19 cents.

[regfootball]

F*** Israel, F*** the entire middle east.

The whole lot of them are ignorant

eye-for-an-eye proponents of bloodshed.

I say we pull out of there altogether and

let them kill each other over a dry crappy

piece of real estate the size of Vermont.

The Muslim Arabs are sadly, at least in

large numbers, backwrds religious fanatics

who defy both logic, reason & civilization.

As far as Israel, it's an artificially created

country in the midst of religious nutcases

who are convinced they also, are entitled

to the same land. In the end, I can not

side with either.

Both kill women & children in the name of

religion, God & a supposed higher-power

claim to a barren wasteland...

Hedge Funds are getting back into the market. Hedge funds and Investment Banks where the one's who drove the price of oil up in the first place , then people want there money out of the market , hedge funds had to sell(which drove the price down).

The CEOs need bigger bonuses. They were really hurting last year, you know.

I agree with you eleventy-billion percent and then some. Seems like there is a song where the lyrics go something like "Burn MotherF*****, Mother****** Burn, the roof is one fire..."

This is exactly how I feel about the middle east. We have gone out of our way for 30 or 40 years trying to bring a peace settlement. The sooner the Dead Sea becomes a thermonuclear sea of glass, the better.
