$4-a-gallon gas likely this spring


Read it at Peak Oil
$4-a-gallon gas likely this spring

If you live in a big city, expect the price to be closer to $5.

How would that affect effective demand? The cost of oil acts like a tax increase.

  3. About 36 cents is taxes.

    I see many SUV's and monster trucks on the road. I wonder what price would encourage the owners to switch to smaller cars.

    litre is liter, labour is labor :)

  4. Natural Gas costs less than two bucks for a gallon equivalent and the price is falling everyday. Honda is the only company mass producing CNG cars & they are sold out for months ahead of time. The maps for fueling stations show the country is pretty much covered now. In addition you can fuel at home. And just think you could get a license plate that says "Frack"
