Fox News at noon today (Bulls and Bears) gave a discussion of the economics
of gasoline
pricing, and its effect on the economy.

The long and short is that, they say, $4.00 gasoline may not be far away.
People will not
likely economize on this, but may cut their other expenditures in order to
be able to pay
their gasoline demands. And that is where our consumerist economy begins
to suffer.

Been paying $3.50 here in Canada for the past year already.

I understand. Outside the USA, prices can be substantially higher than
that. In Norway
we were paying ca US$8.00 per US gallon when I left in December.
Are your figures Canadian dollars and Imperial gallons, or are they
converted to US
basis?

Sometimes the financial analysts have sinuous thought processes;
occasionally they
are even correct.

New gasoline price predictions?

I hope that the mediaand the environuts get their wish for $20 per
gallon gasoline. The world will be a much safer and happier place when
that happens.

I don't really wish for anything that ridiculous but I'm sure that some
people do. Last summer, the media "experts" were predicting $4 per
gallon gasoline and were very happy when a few isolated areas went that
high. The media, despite being a bunch of know-nothings, likes being
right and making everyone else look stupid. What they don't tell you
is that gas in some countries is currently sellng for just pennies per
gallon, but I wouldn't want to live in those countries (and neither
would they).

Here in Ontario, gas prices (at least, a couple of hours ago) are at around
$1.02 (Canadian ) a liter. If you are (un)lucky like me and have a
supercharger, it goes up to $1.11 a liter for 91 octane.

be there now.

That's cheap. In Vancouver it's $1.20/litre which costs CDN $4.53/US gallon
or $4.05 gallon is US dollars.
The US dollar is tanking again.
