Depending on which pipeline is being referred to, I believe the one running from the Canadian Border to the Gulf of Mexico is to ship product overseas. In my mind it would not help the consumers at all.

The station I go to just hiked their price from $2.39 to $2.49 in one day. I don't think Washington has much of an effect on prices, and the new pipeline won't have much effect either.

I hope I'm wrong though.

Since the new administration has taken over our gas prices have hovered between $2.00 and $2.20 per gallon. How do you think the new pipeline will affect prices here in the US?

Oil is still hovering to low levels so we should not see gas prices sky rocket for at least the near term.

I doubt we'll see a significant hike at the tanks until next summer. I'm in Pennsylvania and I think our gas is around $2.30 to $2.40 a gallon. I drove from here to Colorado in the fall and it was so nice to drive through the Midwest where gas prices were much cheaper.

Oil prices have increased this last few months, but in general there is still a ton of supply. I do not see gas at $4/gallon for some time.

I just filled up my tank last night and it was $2.16 a gallon. It seems that most of the summer it's held strong right around $2.00. How likely do you think it is that this will keep up all winter?

In northern Minnesota it is $1.94 a gallon.

I just passed a gas station a few hours ago and it's still at $2.19 a gallon. I'm in the southwest U.S. and gas has been reasonable for quite awhile now.

Thankfully the price of gas has fallen significantly, but I remember scrambling around trying to figure out how we were going to afford the gas we needed just to get to work. We managed to do it by cutting back on a lot of unnecessary driving. In fact, I've noticed that we still are doing that even though it is much cheaper now.

Since San Francisco was mentioned, I have to be the one to enlighten the effects that transportation is having on its commuters. Usually, an adult could purchase a FastPass for about $60 to travel all through the month with just one purchase. They are now introducing what is called a Clipper Card, which is scanned and deducted $2.00 upon boarding each bus. An average working adult may spend 3x's or more using the clipper card vs an adult FastPass. Where is the savings? We are not sure if it's gas prices or public transportation.

I've heard of this system in Seattle... I have the agree, it's a scam! Currently my employer offers me a pass for $25/month and I hope it stays this way forever! They have some kind of agreement worked out with are metro transportation agency.


On Friday I bought a new bike, she's a beat.

Makes you wonder if gas continues to rise what vacation deals will arise from this ? Hotels I will assume will have fantastic deals due to assumed low occupancy. Rental Car agencies, with the exception of holidays, might follow suit !

How you can save on flights or driving will be up to us but I would some things will be a real "steal" with increased gas prices when it comes to summer vacations !

This is why I stay in the house as much as possible. Its too cold for public transportation, but it is not cold enough to travel with someone else . I always ask my sister if she is going some where, if she says "Yes", I tell her to pick me up!

Just purchased a Convertible V8 in October 2010 looking forward to this upcoming summer but if gas continues to rise the fun will be short lived

Your car is HOT...! You have to go crusin' ... the girls, wind in your hair, sun tan... awesome! Take out a gas card. PS... don't hope for much from our govenment... they are more interested in the game!!!
