GAS PRICES?? Whatcha gonna do!!

[2-H2's]

What & walk...or get caught in one of those little cars??? I don't think so.

Just jack your prices up to coincide with the gas prices & keep on gettin' it. If everyone's prices top out with the gas figures it a wash.

Worst case scenario...everyone become self-employed & right it off.

Just my .02

I smell inflation...which is inevitable with rising energy cost. It is first felt on the producers side(PPI-producers price index) then dwindles down to consumers(CPI-consumers price index). Inflation=rising home interest rates...BTW, the Fed raising the Fed Funds rate(directly affects the "prime" rate) does not directly increase mortgage interest rates, however inflation does.


Im with Phil....i dont particularly care for paying more for gas...or anything else for that matter. It will not stop me from driving my truck as a please but it doesnt mean i like it.

You don't simply adjust your habits, costs to accomodate. The economy is a slow moving vehicle but it does move. With the fuel prices reaching upward and upward, shipping costs for everything gets higher and higher, travel costs for business gets higher and higher and eventually everything on the consumer end does cost more (as Boss Hoss was stating).

This retards capital investment in business so 5-10 years down the road the economy is still taking a dump because all the money was spent on freight/travel/fuel costs and the direct/indirect results of it.

So, worrying about spending a few quarters more per gallon right now might not seem like much to some, it's going to bite you and everyone else in the ass if it's not brought under control.

It is all about supply and demand, but it's supply and demand of the oil futures that's affecting the fuel costs.

Weeelll its good thing that I get to be on the supply of the equation as well

[h2itis]

I like it.
A) It keeps ******* tree-huggers off of the road. That's important to me, because when I return,

B) I am driving to Knoxville, TN from SATX. The fewer tree-huggers, the lower my blood pressure. I'll pay a couple hundred for that. My wife doesn't think it's a good example for my son when I'm yanking some prick through the window on the side of the highway to administer a beating.

C) I own VLO, FTO, and a few other oil stocks, so I guess I win even if I lose.

Just wait until Iran cuts off production to the west. I wish we'd just get it over with and take over Venezuela.

Not that it helps with the current prices or inflation, but one benefit with the higher prices is that more and more money is being put into finding more oil here in the states.

Just checked a site I have in my favorites and they have a link to energy commodities futures. As of 1:28 (quotes are delayed) the last trade was at $74.75. That is down $0.05 from a minute before.
