So who wants to bet the Price of Gas shoots to 4.00 a gallon

[insane_cratic_gal]

by the end/beginning of the week? (that will the "national Average" or the price in Alabama)


Because we all know the oil companies don't need a good excuse to raise prices, someone sneezes in Syria and someone says "God bless you instead of Allah", they raise the price. Now they have a full scale war brewing on the horizon

Any takers on what the price will be by Monday?

2. Won't Go That High Yet

Perhaps if the price goes above $80/barrel, but even in Southern California, I expect prices will top off at about $3.80.

It's pretty close though, and $4.00 is defintely within reach. Perhaps by month's end.

6. And we're only $4 away from $80

The oil analysts have always said that $80/barrel would be the true tipping point, but have usually indicated that $80 barrels are far, far away.

Not so much, now...

4. I am guessing $5.00 before the end of the week, get a fill up tonight!!!

5. At least $4, and if a hurricane hits the Gulf...

we'll be talking about $5 by the end of Summer, beginning of Fall.

7. don't forget hurricane season is on... they'll start brewing towards

the end of august.. by then the whole mid-east will be in battle royale.

8. If gas goes to even $4.00 a gallon, which seems quite possible,

no matter WHAT the economists, news, media, whoever, tell you, the US economy will be experiencing serious stagflation.

9. Nearing 80 a barrel only 3 more bucks to go

That's today alone.. Imagine what happens after the bombing..

I say we aren't far from it at all.

Anyone got a bike they want to sell?

10. If this turns into a hot war

It could hit $8.

11. Not that soon, but it's a-coming fer sure.

13. I'm in the too soon camp

Wait until a big hurricane rolls through the gulf. Gas undoubtedly will be going up, but this fall is when we'll take the big hit.
