Will Gas prices go back down or continue to rise?

At the begining of the year when the prices began to rise I thought it was because of the unrest in the middle east. Whether thats still the case or not Idk. But who thinks we will be paying 5 to 6 dollars a gallon by the end of the year? Im hoping they will begin to drop but im doubting that more and more.

What are your thoughts on the prices OT?

Of course they will go back. This isn't the first gas spike.

They will come down again but I have a feeling they will go up a little again before down.

Of course they will go back. This isn't the first gas spike.

They'll eventually go back down, I heard that by summer it'll hit $5, which is bad, because how is anyone going to be able to have money to pay there bills, feed their families and go to work? Im definitely hoping that it doesnt get that high

[QUOTE="jeremiah06"] I don't think they'll ever be less that $1 again...jeremiah06

I don't think it'll drop until the end of summer, or until Libya starts calming down.

As long as they have Libya to use as a scapegoat, they'll continue to rise. Then they'll dip down again after a year or so, with enough protests.Theokhoth

The average base price will always keep going up. Thank you inflation!

[QUOTE="Theokhoth"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]Exactly. There is no reason for the prices to go up over this. It's just an excuse. Once sales dip (and they will) the prices will magically fall like a rock.

[QUOTE="Theokhoth"] It kinda (okay; seriously) pisses me off that they're using Libya as an excuse to gouge their prices in the first place. Nobody with an iota of sense would believe that Libyan unrest is actually depleting our oil to such an extent.Theokhoth

yep thats what happened to me too actually. Vacaed in Cali and payed $60 to fill my tank. Serraph105

Where was the spelling of paid taught differently from what I and everyone else was taught? Payed is incorrect.

Its actually kinda nice to have it so expensive, its much less traffic on the road than when the gas price was below $3

I am 30 and about a week after 9/11 i purchased some sub 1 dollar gas in rural Georgia. It was only like that for about a week though. Probably some pity price or them trying to give people incentive to stop hiding in their homes watching the TV.

Gas pricing fluctuations are a scam and a fairly obvious one at that. Say it starts at $3.00 and everyone is up in arms about it. It climbs to $3.75 and people get hysterical. Later on it falls back down to $3.25 and people start talking about how much cheaper the gas has been recently. Completely oblivious to the fact that in reality they are paying 25 more cents per gallon than they were back when they were furious about having to pay $3.

This trend continues until eventually they are charging $5 a gallon and people are happy to be paying it because it was so much worse when it cost $6 a few months before.

They'll go back down, but they won't go any lower than like $3.25. We'll all say that's very reasonable when really it's not. We could be saving even more money on gas if we didn't force the refiners to make 20 different blends of gasoline.
