Gasoline jumps after unexpected supply drop

Gasoline futures surge after government supply report shows unexpected decline




By Chris Kahn, AP Energy Writer , On Wednesday February 3, 2010, 11:43 am EST
NEW YORK (AP) -- Gasoline futures jumped nearly 2 percent Wednesday after the government reported a surprise drop in the nation's supply.
This could eventually tug pump prices higher, but so far that hasn't happened. Retail gas prices have tumbled for three straight weeks.
The Energy Information Administration reported that gasoline stockpiles fell by 1.3 million barrels last week. Supplies sank as U.S. refineries continued to churn out less fuel.

Looks like they are a little quick on the price adjustments? That's questionable to me.:worried:
No Doubt!!!

But we both know that GREED is the driving reason..

One station near by, keeps their price at $2.50 and never changes it...I suppose he's profiting big time when gas went down, and breaks even when gas goes up.

Crude futures drop 3% on dollar, concerns over demand
Petroleum products also move lower; energy traders await gas-in-storage data


By Polya Lesova, MarketWatch


FRANKFURT (MarketWatch) -- Crude-oil futures dropped below $75 a barrel, accelerating their Thursday losses, as U.S. data showing an increase in crude inventories continued to weigh on sentiment and reinforced concerns over weakness in energy demand.
Also exerting selling pressure on energy contracts, the dollar surged to the highest level since July against other major currencies. The dollar index /quotes/comstock/11j!i:dxy0 (DXY 79.89, +0.52, +0.65%) , which tracks the greenback against a trade-weighted basket of six major currencies, rose to 79.793 from 79.369 late Wednesday.

I just got my 550/gallon tank filled yesterday. I did my DD before getting the best price of 2.529/gallon. I called 8 different companies and haggled between the top two companies offering the best prices.

Anyone interested in this area. Quarles is the company I got the price of 2.529/gallon for heating oil.

Same time 1 year ago I paid 2.189/gallon.

Yes, I know about heat pumps and the cost once the temps get below 32 degrees and then you get to watch your electric meter spin like a top.

Lot's of those around here too. No Thanks. :)
