Gas prices this summer

[Coronita]

I guess I should buy more oil and gas stocks…Hey, I got to makeup for spending $4.50/gallon on premium fuel on a 4 banger, 6 banger, and 8 banger turbo…Lol….Good news is so far, race fuel has almost stayed constant…. $11-12/gallon.

Yes, sorta like farmers playing in the commodities markets, certainly good way to hedge.

These personal hedging strategies make alot of sense in uncertain times.

I can see a bumper sticker on that corvette….”gas paid by my oil futures hedging strategy”

Here’s some snide Nissan Leaf bumper stickers…

“Doing my part to lower YOUR gas prices”
“Look no tailpipe”
“Pull my finger….no emissions”
“Petro Dictator free driving”
mmmmm….

I’m not a bumper sticker kind of guy, but I wonder why they seem more prevalent in the east. You just don’t see alot in SoCal, other than the occasional car plastered with them on a particular topic

[quote=Bubblesitter]Yes, lots of extremism out in the MidEast. Long simmering ethnic, religious, national feuds. They seem to have a long memory, centuries and centuries.

Every-time you pump gas, a good percentage is going straight to various petro dictatorships. Iran is actually getting $ cash from US consumers , even though there is a formal trade embargo. Until recently, yesterday noted Nut case Quaddafi was getting your money also. UN sec council embargo is now in place. Another dictator Hugo Chavez of Venezuela is also getting your money, right out of your pocket.

Oil money just fuels those conflicts and dictatorships

This is one other factor in me looking seriously into PV-EV. I want to personally decouple from the volatility of energy markets and not hand my money over to Petro-dictators.

Saudi Arabia would cause real problems if supply is disrupted, but there have been no significant demonstrations …as yet. The royal family is wealthy enough to pump cash into social programs to help extinguish unrest. Peak oil is a problem waiting to happen, and you hear a lot about substitutes, but no radical shifts in the way we do things. Europe absorbs a much higher $ per gallon of gas, so why can’t the US consumer? One problem is that infrastructure in the US is built around the car. High speed trains must come, and public transportation dramatically improved. The auto industry must wake up and dump the truck, and over-sized sedan. Build cities up, not out. Find alternatives for all those products that include oil.
