In another week it will be $4.00 a gallon, and then by July expect it to be $5.00, then it should level off at $6.00 by Labor Day.

Going into next summer it should hit $8.00 a gallon.

Answer 11

The DEMOCRATS promised us CHANGE when they took control of Congress and the Senate in Jan of 2007.  Both Reid and Pelosi are preoccupied with Global Warming and AIDS in Africa.  Besides, the Goof Ball Al Gore another Progressive from h**l,  suggested that Americans were driving to much and were the blame for Global Warming.  Al Gore wanted legislation in Punishment TAXES to raise the cost of GAS to 5.00 dollars a gallon back in 2000.  There is your cause and the solution is to kick out all Global Warming Cult members from Congress.  John McCain for President.

Answer 12

Here in the UK I pay £1.15 a litre for diesel

Today's exchange rate is...UK£ 1.15 = 2.29241 US$

There is approx 5 litres in a gallon which makes it the equivalent of $11.46 a gallon

The cost of fuel is rising the world over and it's going to get a lot worse before it gets any better...

BTW...at least 85% of the cost of our fuel is tax!

Answer 13

They are definitely going up especially for the summer!! I have seen it on CBS, Gasoline prices typically rise in the spring as stations switch over to pricier summer-grade fuel and demand picks up as more travelers take to the road.

But this year prices are rising even faster than normal, experts say, because of the massive jump in benchmark crude prices, which spiked to a record $117.76 a barrel Monday before settling a record settlement price of $117.48 on the New York Mercantile Exchange, up 79 cents from the previous close. It was the sixth day in a row prices set new records
