It's disturbing to read how people want to do away with free markets and how they think producers and suppliers should exist only to bring their products to market as cheaply as possible. Farmers, factories, any producers of products want to get as much as they can out of their product and it would be a pity to apply the policies of "Dear Leader" in N. Korea to our commodity market. And oil is just another product. When I sold my pickup the other day I got as much as I could out of it. And there is nothing wrong with that. Just because a commodity is critical doesn't mean its owner is under obligation to flail himself with lower than market prices.

Speculators are the problem. The govt needs to not allow oil to be traded like a stock...

We still have stocks that are at the upper end (or above it) for 'normal' stock levels. This should be putting limit on price increases but we have the rest of the world that is willing to buy refined products from the US at current prices. Welcome to global trade.

KEEP YOUR TANKS FULL! Early last week, I started posting my concern over how many refineries went down or were down for emergency repair. Four in the Midwest and a pipeline, over and above the scheduled shutdowns. Since then, a fire in Tulsa plant, and now in California. I will continue to post...KEEP YOUR TANKS AND GAS CANS FULL! We may be facing higher prices and possible spot shortages in the next 5 or 6 weeks.

Are we surprised by this article. I most certainly am not. Oil companies wnat pump prices to increase and speculators love this...... the only one getting the raw end of the deal is the consumer. You and I keep paying higher and higher prices.

Here the prices went up 60 cents last week and have come down about 16 cents - so I guess it's time for another increase, right? (She said - tongue in cheek)

Crude oil inventories decreased, Gasoline inventories decreased, Distillate inventories decreased, total Refinery utilization rise 0.4%, Total US oil stocks are up 2.3%. Refinery utilization in the 90% plus, except East Coast @ 83.7% and West Coast at 87.6%. Gasoline and Crude Oil inventories decreased - this is a Bad Thing, higher prices at the pump is a Bad thing!
Crude oil and Gasoline inventories decreased so Big Oil can raise the price of fuel at the pump!
Big Oil continues to sell fuel and natural gas on the world market for higher prices, there will be NO price reduction for the cost of fuel or natural gas IN the US. 'Coming out of the closet' Barry will support natural gas and oil production for sale on the world market to pay for his ‘spending gone wild’ addiction and receive the huge federal tax income from oil. Barry's lousy, smoke and mirrors, lack of jobs, dog and pony show and in the crapper economy, the good paying jobs are Not there. Barry's economy is not improving but continues to hurt the population and the job numbers continues to be down – no matter how smoooooth talking Barry spins those numbers and he can spin them very well! People will still drive and buy fuel no matter what but it sure helps to have a job too!
The US ‘oil and natural gas resources’ belong to the citizens of this country and are to be used by those same citizens! Speculators, manipulators and the banks continue to unfairly and unjustly make the driving public pay higher prices at the pump for their personal benefit.
How much will gas prices go up and they will rise, the trend is always up with fuel prices. The price at the pump needs to go down to $2/gallon, $3 to $3.50/gallon is Not the new low!
Whatever the size or shape of the vehicle, Produce and ‘Drive’ vehicles with high MPG, are very safe, reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money. Consider using other forms of less expensive transportation to lower your cost.
The price of fuel at the pump is too high!
