I saw the article yesterday and just put it away. Watching CNBC yesterday, you had prices going from $2.62 to $6 a gallon. My guess is it will hit a high around $2,90 and settle back once the refineries come back on-line. Hugo Chavez says $50 a barrel for oil is sufficient. Unfortunately, Hugo Chaves doesn't control the price of oil. I know he likes to think he does, but he doesn't. He's a cool dude. He'll be a cold dude soon. Ice cold. Oh, puh-lease. One of the best attributes of Chavez is that he gives Bush and the neo-convicts fits. What could be better? Someone who was not a nutcase dictator. And he fixed the election. Do a little research. May be his local opposition that ice's him. He "fixed" the election? I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked. Why, that would never happen here in a presidential election! Did not say it would not happen in a Presidential Election. Look at what Perot did. At least they did not ban opposition parties as Venezuela did. |

I went to the marina today to drop the boat off so they could take it off the trailer and onto a 3 point stand.....I need to epoxy barrier coat and bottom coat (it was it was always trailered before). On the way there I gassed it up at a local station at $2.74/gallon (I did not top it off last fall thinking gas prices would fall). After the boat was put onto the blocks/jack stands I checked the gas price at the dock and it was $2.98......must be last years gas. At least some marina's do not jump on the gas price gouging bandwagon when the opportunity arises and only raise prices when justified by a new shipment of gas. ;-) |

Hate to break it to you, Dan, but the price of crude oil (i.e. the price per bbl paid to the companies that are owned 51% by Iran and 49% by Big Oil), has very little to do with the price per gallon you will pay to fill your car or boat. Remember last year? Big Oil was crying that it's profits were being squeezed by the price of crude oil and/or damage from Katrina, (and/or liberal environmental obstructionists opposing the planting drilling rigs in the middle of national parks or siting refineries across the street from grade schools). In reality, the net profits from the prices that were raised much higher and raised much faster than costs were accumulating at a rate that has been usurpassed in human history. When you're pumping $5 gas at the marina, don't even begin to blame it on Iran. |

The RICO statutes have been successfully stretched to include a few odd situations. I wonder if they'd fit this situation. |

That ought to adequately explain a 30-50% price increase at retail. :-) (Sadly however, for just about enough of us it does). As far as the oil companies are concerned, there is no "Iranian crisis", just a convenient "Iranian excuse." |

From a petroleum industry website: 42 gallons per barrel makes about 19½ gallons of gasoline, 9 gallons of fuel oil, 4 gallons of jet fuel, and 11 gallons of other products, including lubricants, kerosene, asphalt, and petrochemical feedstocks to make plastics. That adds up to more than 42 gallons because of something called "refinery gain" - the processing and chemical changes increase the volume. **** So, let's see how good my math skills are. Let's say the petroluem industry decides to pass on the *entire cost* of increased crude oil to the gasoline consumer, and does not increase the price of jet fuel, diesel, kerosene, etc. (yeah, right). But let's just say...... For every ten buck increase in the price of a barrel of oil, if the *entire* increase is being passed along to the consumers of gasoline, (and it isn't) the price of the raw material used to refine gasoline goes up 51-cents a gallon. In reality, the costs recovered from jet fuel, diesel, asphalt, etc (products which, combined, constitute the majority of the yield from a barrel of oil) probably knock the amount that the oil companies really *need* to offset a $10 per bbl increase in the price of oil down to something around 25-30 cents per gallon of gas. When crude hits $80 a gallon, (and the good ol' boys from Texas will be charging dime for dime the same price as the Sheiks of Araby), anybody want to bet that gas prices will only be 25-30 cents per gallon more than they are right now at $70 a bbl? (I didn't think so). Once again, the price of crude oil has very little to do with the amount you will be paying to fill up your boat and/or your tow vehicle in the coming months. Gas prices are as high as they are simply "because they can," and the boating industry and pastime is being negatively impacted by sheer greed among the petro people. |

"Because they can" EXACTLY! There's no other reason in a nutshell.
