Gas - Prepare for $3 -$4!

Easy now!

Gas Futures are trading at $2.11 right now and oil is at $69-and-change! Rule of thumb says to add $0.85 to cost of gas futures ($2.96) to predict upcoming cost at the pump. I'd be willing to place a bet that $3.00 is a sure thing this summer. Even a "whiff" that a hurricane is heading toward the gulf will send gas futures shooting up like a rocket. Interesting times are ahead.

Looks like the Hummer owners will be adding 'gasoline bill envy' to the diagnosis list, right under 'penis envy'! :funn:

It's already at $2.84 a gallon here in Chicago.

Laughing and humor is always helpful and is actually theraputic!

In this case I think "Weenis" envy would be better

Jfunn you would have no idea how much gas is if I didn't tell you! This is a serious matter!

They are gorgeous feet. They look hot in a nice wedge. And I can walk to and from work for free. Free. Hear me? Free.

Ya'll are a riot! So you are implying that the solution to the possible high gasoline prices is for each of us to eat more beans, ect?

Maybe we could be "sophisticated" about it - eat some beans and broccoli and then wash it down with a few crab cakes. I would not want to be around the person who did that.

Broccoli makes for a foul smell. As does cabbage.

Moonshine is the only way to go, but that may cost more than gasoline. So I change that to "scooters," the only way to go, unless you cannot drive them and try to take out the exterior kitchen wall of the Red Bar like I saw two weeks ago. Talking with some Helicopter pilots the other day, they tell me that their most recent purchase of fuel for the chopter cost somewhere over $4/gal. I doubt the mileage is too good on those chopters either.

DOH! $4 per gal. for the chopper hurts! I sure as heck hope that we do not have a rough Hurricane season and we strike Iran. Neither situation looks too promising right now.

The Iran thing is getting downright scary. Bush is absolutely serious about using nuclear weapons as a "bunker buster" bomb to take out Iran's buried nuclear sites. Iran's president is a true nut job, and an apocalyptic religious fanatic. The Iranians are not stupid, they are extremely intelligent. They are not Arabs, they are Persian. They literally invented the game of "chess".

Plus with their wacko president (extremely intelligent but nuts) making continual statements like this (see article below), Bush is bound to take action to try to eliminate the "threat" Iran poses.

Iran?s Ahmadinejad: West Will Burn in Nations? Fury

April 12, 2006
Iran Focus

Tehran, Iran, Apr. 12 ? Iran?s radical President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a fiery sermon demanded that ?Iran?s enemies?, or the West, bow down before Iran and apologize for having held back Tehran?s nuclear program for three years. He also warned the West that it would ?burn? in the ?fire of the nations? fury?.

?Those who insulted the Iranian nation and set back Iran?s movement for progress for several years must apologise?, Ahmadinejad said at a rally in the eastern town of Rashtkhar. His comments were aired on state television and carried by the official news agency.

?You must bow down to the greatness of the Iranian nation?, he said, addressing the West.

He added that if the United States continued to seek to use ?bullying? tactics then ?every nation of the world? would chant ?Death to America? and ?Death to Israel?.

?If you do not return to monotheism and worshipping god and refuse to accept justice then you will burn in the fire of the nations? fury?, Ahmadinejad said.

He once again accused the West of launching a ?psychological war? against Iran.

On Tuesday, Ahmadinejad declared that Iran had joined the Nuclear Club.

?I officially announce that Iran has joined the world?s nuclear countries?, Ahmadinejad said in a speech that was broadcast on state television.

The UN Security Council adopted a ?Presidential Statement? unanimously on March 29 giving Iran 30 days to suspend all of its uranium enrichment activities and resume its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The banter between Jessifun and Kimmifun is hilarious.

And to think I used to live in Tehran, Iran. It is very sad for me!!!!!

Will all of you please take up a collection of gas $$ for me so I will be able to afford to drive to the beach in July??? ;-)

Our '04 Honda Civic 4 door gets 35 mpg when loaded down for vacation.
From our Illinois home we'll travel roughly 1600 miles round trip.

Gas today here is $2.79 which would cost me about $128 for the trip.
If gas goes up to $4.00 it would cost me $184.
I guarantee I'm not missing out on a week on the beach due to an extra $56.

We'll be there!!! Can't wait for August!

I am sure that my big ole honkin Caravan will cost a lot more than that, but thanks for putting it into perspective for me!!!!

Kathydwells....I hope you didn't interpret my post as a comment on your gas $$$ request.
I was just posting my own findings of what it will cost us this year, and I've determined it won't make any difference. I wasn't really replying to any specific previous postings.
Have fun when you get to the beach!
And Happy Easter !
