May 11, 200817 yr not really look on gas buddy the avg is 3.710 the highest in new jersey is only 4.19 http://www.newjerseygasprices.com/
May 11, 200817 yr Holding steady here at around $3.50, maybe that station just didn't want to admit they were out of gas?
May 11, 200817 yr I still don't understand what the 9/10 is all about. Just another way to rob from the little guy!!!
May 12, 200817 yr Gas prices spike to above 5 in a lot of places depending on specific conditions unique to that location. For example: there's a gas station along a deserted stretch of highway in CA that charges over 5.40 (probably more now) because its the only gas for 40 miles and the attached inn and store have to use a generator because they're so isolated. Apparently the proceeds from the fuel sales just barely cover their own fuel usage from the generator. So stuff like that, supply shortages, or just plain douchebag managers will cause crazy spikes from time to time

May 13, 200817 yr Author UPDATE 1-Senate OKs halting deliveries to U.S. oil reserve Tue May 13, 2008 9:51pm IST Email | Print | Share | Single Page [-] Text [+] WASHINGTON, May 13 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate voted on Tuesday to suspend oil deliveries to the country's Strategic Petroleum Reserve until crude prices fall below $75 a barrel, repudiating the Bush administration's policy of boosting the stockpile at time of record oil and gasoline prices. The proposal to halt shipments to the emergency oil reserve, which cleared the Senate in a 97 to 1 vote, was tacked on to a flood insurance reform bill. The House of Representatives was expected later on Tuesday to vote on a similar measure that supporters believed would put more oil supplies in the market and help lower energy prices. The Bush administration opposes suspension of the oil shipments, saying the move would have little effect on cutting oil prices which hit a record near $127 a barrel on Tuesday. The White House says the United States needs a bigger emergency oil reserve beyond the current 703 million barrels to offset any major supply disruptions. "In the short run...we can stop putting oil underground and put some downward pressure on gas prices and oil prices," said Democrat Byron Dorgan, the main sponsor of the proposal. "When the American consumer is being burned at the stake by high gas prices this government ought not be carrying the wood. It's just that simple." Separately, the Senate rejected a broader Republican energy measure that in addition to stopping oil deliveries to the reserve would have allowed oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and off coastal states where energy exploration is now banned.

May 13, 200817 yr Author Senators threaten Saudi arms deal over oil prices 27 minutes ago WASHINGTON (AFP) ? A group of Democratic Senators Tuesday threatened to block a multi-million dollar US arms deal with Saudi Arabia, unless the kingdom ups oil production and helps cut soaring gasoline prices. The Senators introduced a resolution of disapproval on the arms sale, as President George W. Bush prepared to head for Saudi Arabia, partly on a mission to contain runaway oil prices. "We are saying to the Saudis that, if you don't help us, why should we be helping you?" said New York Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer. "We are saying that we need real relief, and we need it quickly. You need our arms, but we need you to cooperate and not strangle American consumers." The resolution, expected to be fast-tracked to the Senate floor, would prohibit the mammoth arms sale unless Saudi Arabia agrees to increase oil production by one million barrels per day. Schumer said such an increase could bring down the price of a gallon of gasoline at the pump by 50 to 75 cents. "We're losing our wealth. Our economy is heading south. That is the highest priority, not the Saudis getting the top-notch weapons," Schumer said. The United States offered last year to sell Saudi Arabia and Gulf states a 20 billion dollar arms package, as part of a wider regional program aimed at deterring Iran and Syria, Lebanon's Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda. The resolution specifically mentions a sale of 900 kits to Saudi Arabia, which turn conventional bombs into laser-guided explosives or Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM). Schumer said a motion of disapproval needed only 51 votes in the 100 seat Senate to pass and could not be filibustered. Bush was heading to the Middle East on Tuesday, for a tour which commemorates the 75th anniversary of the formal establishment of US-Saudi relations. The White House has said he will stress US concerns about soaring oil prices when he meets King Abdullah on May 16, and is expected to press the Saudis to boost their oil production as a way of curbing spiraling fuel prices.
