Gas Prices Move Past $3, Hit All-Time High
July 23, 2006


CAMARILLO, Calif. -- Nationwide gas prices hit an all-time high in the last two weeks, rising nearly 2 cents to just over $3 per gallon, according to a survey released Sunday.

The national average for self-serve regular stood at $3.0150 a gallon Friday, up 1.98 cents in the last two weeks, according to the Lundberg Survey of 7,000 gas stations across the country.

The price exceeds the previous high of $3.0117 set in September last year, analyst Trilby Lundberg said.

A gallon of mid-grade gasoline averaged around $3.12, and premium at nearly $3.22.

I bet many people waste more $$$ on c/c charges, junk food, and pet food than they do on gasoline.

And nobody spends nearly as much on fuel as they spend when criminally gouged by the for-excessive-profit US medical system.

Record gas prices seen after Alaska shutdown
Expect to pay three to five cents more at the pump as 8 percent of nation's production goes offline.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Gasoline prices could break all-time highs in the wake of the Alaska oil field closure, one analyst said Monday.

With a national average of $3.036 for a gallon of regular, prices are already within easy reach of the all-time record high of $3.057 set last September in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, according to the motorist group AAA.

New worry for drivers: BP shuts oilfield

"Prices are likely to rise three cents to five cents a gallon for the next few days," said Tom Kloza, an oil analyst at the research group Oil Price Information Service.

But Kloza said the runup in price is more psychological than anything else, as the amount being taken offline isn't that much and gas prices are more impacted by Mideast violence or tropical storms in the Gulf of Mexico, home to much of the nation's refining.

"We're talking about 400,000 barrels a day," he said "This is not the straw that broke the camel's back."

Kloza said to expect high prices until about mid September, then a fairly sharp decline as demand for gasoline drops at the end of the so-called summer driving season.

BP said Monday it was forced to shut off about 8 percent of the nation's oil supply after discovering "unexpectedly severe corrosion" in its pipelines in Alaska's Prudhoe Bay.

But dickhead has assured everybody that drilling and pipeline technology is so advanced that drilling in the ANWR for a few months of gasoline is perfectly safe. The caribou will love it.
