Hmmmmm. Gas up 50 cents in less than 2 weeks???

[Calz]

Nope ... this isn't me complaining about the price at the pump (like that would help).

This is me wondering what would be the reasoning for the fastest and largest rise in the cost of fuel in memory (perhaps going back to the 70s oil embargo).

Have not heard any "reason" from lame stream media.

Could "they" be really planning to hit Iran this time????

Compensation for gold repatriating from a growing list of nations???

:noidea:

Simply passing along a "hmmmmmmmmm"

Damn! this is going to make it harder to go to the casino!
just kidding... thank you for the heads up!

Up 10c per litre in Calgary in the last two weeks ... seems the price hike is NA wide?

If they would just go ahead and make gas 10 dollars a gallon , we could just stop using cars all together and create another way to travel, who ever makes anti-gravity work could become the most powerful and wealthy person alive... can you imagine NO MORE OIL, NO more money given to oil companies ??? :wizard:

When you consider what JP Morgan did with Tesla, you begin to understand the power of oil, the force that made Morgan do what he did.

I for one cannot wait for the day to see the oil empires fall.

a picture is worth a thousand words.
and look at what the oil companies have done over the long hard decades.

for longer than a human lifespan these tyrants have now stood upon the necks of the people. the wealth that should have enriched us all enriches a few.

and likewise only a few families share and will ever share in that wealth.
all of us left snuffling in the outer darkness... it is not what was meant to be.

[loc333]

The petrol dollar helps fuel the economy immensely. The economy is in deep sh!t. So back to ole reliable to help bail out the economy. Jack up fuel prices.
I personally hope the wells run dry real soon. Besides.......Fossil Fuels are obsolete anyways.

Well, since the banks can control prices by playing their games with futures, this must be a hissy fit about the Hagel nomination for SecDef. Insert some belligerence in the ME and you have another buggering of the people. Ouch!

[ghostrider]

I wonder how wealthy oil types feel, sitting in their ivory towers counting their money , while they look out at the suffering world and think in their minds look what I control... look at what I'm in charge of ... their greed is like a virus that cannot be cured... the price of gas could stay at two dollars and the oil companies would still be rich enough ...

Superbowl is in New Orleans, and that is a major oil port. It may be that they know something we don't. and that the best form of slavery, or feudalism, is keeping people just below the threshold of revolt. But just below.

That the price of oil is adjusted to to a point that keeps other technology.... just below the line of financial feasibility. Purposely so.

[gripreaper]

I think that the price of gas went up because Kim Kardashian shipped her Bentley from Florida to California, instead of having someone drive it. The powers that be are really upset about that.

In all seriousness, there is no correlation between markets, supply and demand, futures contracts, leverage, or any of the conventional reasons we might choose.

It's whenever the PTB feel like it.

good eye carmody, I forgot the superbowl this weekend, makes sense lots of travel to the big show of millionaire's playing games with other millionaires while the workers get a break from the slavery oops I mean job ... Humanity needs a cure for the matrix ... wait that's us ...

The rise doesn't look that unusual to my eyes. Here's a screen capture from http://www.fuelgaugereport.aaa.com/

http://thepythoniccow.us/gas_price_3Feb2013_NAT_grph.jpg

It shows the last 12 month average for the price of self-serve regular gasoline in the United States, as well as the price of wholesale gas and the price of crude, all in dollars per gallon.

[Carmody]

but at the same time, the price of crude is actually much cheaper than what we are paying for.

That in the oil futures or oil game, that...the oil is traded, or bought and sold, maybe 20-30 times or more, while it is in the tanker, on it's way to north America. (originally...the price is set, as it goes into the tanker..then it arrives in the US at that low price. Ie, what was actually paid for the crude)

That this act used to be illegal, this in transit price and profit manipulation, as it is about one thing. Pumping profits out of something that is purely nationalistic and should be illegal to do. LIKE IT USED TO BE.

Illegal, for that very reason that it crushes economies in a form of parasitic limitation and control via financial self aggrandizement means.... that is outside of the public's capacity to realize and recognize.

$2.98 - $3.47 in about 10 days.

No chart. Perhaps I jumped timelines or else alzheimers is starting to kick in.

40 years of driving that seems rather extreme. I remember gas lines from the oil embargo but not how far/fast prices went up. I expect it would have been higher then especially on a percentage basis with lower starting point on price.

Perhaps the cabal simply is so overconfident now it doesn't bother with even putting out some story to "justify" it to the public.

Yes the "petro dollar" is dying and that figures into all these things.
