$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'M')ar. 12: Is the recent run-up in pump prices the result of price gouging

[nth]

This article makes no sense. They say this is trader driven, but yet they show evidence of a huge drop in inventories and lack of imports. If they have dug deeper, they will realize imports are down due to other regions outside of US commanding higher prices for gasoline than historical prices. The price difference between US and Northern Europe narrow.

If this is not market driven, then might as well say everything is dictated by traders. What a bunch of bologne.

Well, they claim the spike will be short-lived, but the trend line is up.

Notice that the national average price has moved from about $1.00 in 2002 to about $2.25 this winter. The use of ethanol still leads to oil depletion too, but at a lower rate than using pure gasoline, right?

While other MSN is saying relief? Maybe, maybe not, though Higher Prices are certain... :rolleyes:
The case for $3 gas
Some experts say high demand could push pump prices past last year's highs. Others say relief is in sight.

I think theres a very good chance it will be between $3.50-$4.00 US average per gallon by the end of summer... $3.00 will probably become the new low for next winter...
