I paid $2.31 a gallon in PHX yesterday. Took almost $45 to fill up my tank. Thank goodness I do not drive much, because I would have to give up safety to save money.

I just want to know why they are jacking up the prices. Is there something I am missing?

Remember to get locking gas caps! When we had our pipeline break here in Arizona, people were stealing gas. I am heading to Checker Auto Parts tomorrow to get one!!

I remember when the pipeline first broke, cars were lined up for miles and the only gas avail was the 91 octane, which I managed to get at $2.19 a gallon before it went up to almost $3.

Anyhow, I put $51 in my truck at $2.39 in PHX the other day. Just got back home to MSP and it is $2.19 at the SA over by the airport.

Hi Kathy!

The reason the price is going up is simple: China.

China's economy is strongly improving, giving every increasing numbers of Chinese enough money to buy their first car. Between the new cars and the overall growth of economic activity in China, they are rapidly becoming the #2 user of energy products worldwide. Just a few years ago, they were just a blip on the radar screen.

Good news for us! India is only 10 years behind, so in about 10 years the prices for oil should start accelerating at an ever-increasing rate then.

What can slow the long-term rise in oil/gasoline prices. Only a switch away from oil as a transportation fuel.
