Keyser Soze Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Oil is bought on futures, correct? It takes about six months I think to crack a barrel and produce gas from it. So why are we paying for oil increases now? Just because oil closed out at $77 a barrel yesterday doesn't mean that we should be paying for it today. No wonder why the oil companies are cleaning house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortnun Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 [quote name='prose' post='954953' date='Apr 20 2006, 09:56 AM'] Gas is right now 1.08 a litre here... For you americans that is 4.09 a gallon.... [/quote] [quote name='homeschoolmom' post='954962' date='Apr 20 2006, 10:05 AM'] I think it's 2.75 or so here right now. [/quote] $2.81, I think. [quote name='morostheos' post='955055' date='Apr 20 2006, 11:27 AM'] $2.79 here. It was $40 to fill up. [/quote] Ever since it went back up again (after it was high post-hurricanes), I only put $10-15 worth each time. If I were to fill up now... my guess is $50. (I have a Volvo, not an SUV--that'd be even worse!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel9 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I love to drive, so the gasoline prices are killing me! Just to get away for a couple hours on a country road is so nice. But I am learning to stay closer to home and read more books, so that's a good thing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
