Fuel prices moving up, just in time for spring boating and driving?
 

Paid $2.91 at a normally competitive filling station for unleaded 92
octane yesterday.

Looks like a repeat of the 2005 fuel pricing may be in store. Those
*******s. But I guess you can't blame them, since most of the increase
last year went straight to the Record Profit Bottom Line of the big oil
companies and their stock prices have now been adjusted to take those
profits into account. Failure to reproduce the same type of earnings
this year would have a negative impact on future stock values, and we
certainly couldn't have that, could we?

What are you burning that high octane stuff in? I know Acura's require it,
but most cars don't.

Yesterday, in Holland, the price was almost $6 per gallon. Guess we
shouldn't bitch too much.

Given the ungodly profits, etc., and the daily fluctuations (usually
upwards) I believe there is a special place in Hell for the oil people.

Cashed in all my energy stocks ... I myself don't know what's holding
this energy market up. But I do know I've now got the bucks to gas the
boat ... and the jeep ... for a few more years. Must confess, I did
pick up some mining stocks ... that price of copper is just too
tempting ... we'll see.

But,of course. Why would they not move up this time of the year. It's only logical.

Maybe if you had some real cars, then you wouldn't have that problem.

Most of us have never seen a "real" car,

I've got oil stocks and they are looking VERY good.

WHOO HOO!!

Yes indeed.

Petro service stocks are next if you believe in following the flow of
money. You can only sell the oil once, then you have to replace it.

NBR, SLB, OIH, etc.

Gas prices rise in Spring and Summer due to the multiple formulations
which differ from state to state during warm months to meet emissions
requirements.

And due to demand when competition price point curve breaks down due to
demand exceeding supply. This is exasperated by not having enough refinery
capacity for the summer peak gas demand months.

I hate it too. And if I were the one making the decision to build or not
build a new refinery I'd have pause...Why build a new one for the peak
demand of 3 months a year. Like the electric companies when they have
problems with peak demand, rather than expand on their generator capacity
they encourage us to conserve. Then when we start suffering brownouts and
demand better service they request a rate hike to build a new generator, and
guess what, they get one.
