Is there any hope for gas prices?

I think it's just a fairy tale and I heard that they was going to go to $4.00 a gallon before it was over with I just wish it would go back down so that we could afford to take the kids on vacation or atleast a nice trip.

well, im here in Connecticut, and i was watching the news, at this time gas is at $4.17/gal and its rediculous. i can hardly afford to drive recklasly anymore. which stinks becasue driving is my getaway from my problems, but i was watching the news and they said that gas prices could get up to $5.00/gal and stay there for the next couple years. its rediculous if you ask me.

I wish I knew where all of this was going to end! It's really getting to the point where people are going in the hole going back and forth to work! The closest gas station to my house was $3.88 as of last night, but it probably went up since then. I remember back in the seventies when there was "wild talk" that gas was going to go up to a dollar a gallon! When I first started driving it was about $0.30 per gallon, can you believe that? When my friends and I needed gas to go "cruising" we'd all chip in change until we got enough to get a dollar's worth of gas and that lasted for about week...lol! Annie

No I do not believe the prices will come down as long as people are determined to pay whatever it is for gas. I heard Bill O'riely say last night we need to start finding other ways of where we need to go like car pooling to pay the bills the first of the month, or do not buy gas on Monday, put a dent in their pockets, he said just everyone not buying gas on one day of the week would set them back, and would show them we are not going to continue to pay the high prices and will find other ways to get around. Some are buying bikes here and riding them to work, more are making car pools, I think it is us that has to put a stop to the buying and only us that can help put a stop to this. One woman interviewed on ev the other night said she was going to the mall no matter what the cost of gas was, when you have people with thinking like that how can we get anywhere, I though to myself what is at the mall that is so important that I would pay $4.00 a gallon to get there,she said she goes all the time and no one is going to stop her if they raise it to $10. she did not look like she was that rich to be making those kinds of statements, and I'm sure from the looks of the car she had better places she could use the money she saved, but people are going to go no matter what, it makes it real hard on the ones trying to do something to cut the cost.

I think that gas is going to keep going up. It is going up everyday just about. I have been listening to the news and it has been a hot topic. It will keep going up and there is nothing that the people can do about it. Why cause they know drivers need gas and they will pay what ever price that is set to get from a to b.

I think the prices will come down when there's new people in Washington in January.

i think no. may be after some time it should be back in control and may not rise further. But will ity ever decrese? i think no. when once increased, it will never go down.

Hi there. Here in New Zealand we're paying $2.10 per litre. By august this price may have rised to $2.50 - $3.00 per litre. In Brisbane, Australia I had word that they're paying $1.40 per litre. Who knows wether or not gas prices will ever drop. Have a great day anyway...

Sheesh, anything that people are counting on, they always have to hike up prices. Not only gas but other things like ciggarettes too! I was watching the news the other day too and I heard something disturbing about the whole reasoning behind our gas prices and why they are so high. It's all because someone said they would be! If that's not the stupidist reason then I don't know what is? I would like to know who said that and see how they are dealing with the hike in prices now! By this summer our gas prices are suppose to go up to $2.00 a litre. Most places here now it's $130.00

Hi Mehale where in Texas are you? I'm in San marcos between Austin and SA and its at $3.89. Seems everyday it goes higher and sometimes an hour later it will jump again. I have to get some gas tomorrow and know from that post awhile back that its best to go in the mornings when the pumps are expanded. Keep on walking...LOL

Here in Oklahoma, the diesel prices are already over 4.00 a gallon and the regular unleaded isn't far behind, the cheapest in our town is 3.69, but it probably won't last for long, it'll go up again. I'm glad we don't have any vehicles that take diesel, at one time it was cheaper, and we almost bought a diesel truck, we would of been sorry if we did....have a good day

I pray it soon goes back down, here it is over $3:00 per gal., maybe certain places $4:00. I paid a cab $4.00 for a very short distance he took me yesterday. I did not complain because Iknow the price of gas is up.

I was in journalism and in my business economics class this semester we learned that the predicted gas price for the summer would be 1.12...we all know its much higher now! I guess people are just going to have to find other ways to get where they have to go. I prefer public transit. It saves me tons of money and is great for the environment!

Hi.I recently joined My lot and i wanted to enter in this discussion.I will directly say that the price of oil will continue to increase and will reach $200,The gold also will reach to $1000.

I don't think the price of fuel (or gas as you called it) will go down anytime soon. Here in Australia the price of fuel has just gone up erratically high and I cannot do anything with it but to reduce the use of car.

yup it is a fairy tale and good one to hear too!!! i dun see a slighest for the oil prices to go down from here... also respond to http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1534919.aspx

It's been $4.07 for a while here in central Illinois. We don't have a choice but to pay it. We live in the country and my husband commutes 1/2 hour each way. No mass transit here. I believe it's going to keep going up. Now that the kids are out of school, we are staying home all day, every day. We make a trip to town once a week for groceries and other necessities. We just can't afford to drive the van much.

I believe that things may turn out better and better!
