Title: How long before gas hits $4/gallon again? Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on October 28, 2008, 11:48:11 AM I'd be shocked if it happens again before 2012 at least. Gas prices have fallen to 2003 levels, so probably not until 2013 at that rate. I vote for 4-5 years.
It'd be really nice if $4/gallon gas never happens in Obama's first term! Title: Re: How long before gas hits $4/gallon again? Post by: MODU on October 28, 2008, 01:02:37 PM It depends on market conditions as well as numerous other variables. The spike was artificial, but so has been the rate of decline.

Title: Re: How long before gas hits $4/gallon again? Post by: Sensei on October 28, 2008, 03:59:25 PM hopefully never, but it'll go back up when the economy recovers. Maybe not that high until 2011 or so.

Title: Re: How long before gas hits $4/gallon again? Post by: Torie on October 28, 2008, 09:55:50 PM The recession world wide will be long and hard, and the interim will be used to slow the growth of useage, and so 3-4 years minimum.
Title: Re: How long before gas hits $4/gallon again? Post by: Nym90 on October 28, 2008, 10:36:45 PM Since it only took 2 months to fall this far, I don't see why it couldn't be back up to those levels in two months again, but whatever. This could be a funny thread to bump at some point.

This could be a funny thread to bump at some point. Bubbles pop faster than they build. It's not like real estate prices could easily jump back to 2006 levels next year for example.

Title: Re: How long before gas hits $4/gallon again? Post by: MR maverick on October 29, 2008, 03:52:47 AM After the election.
Maybe around X-mas day or 1st of the year. Title: Re: How long before gas hits $4/gallon again? Post by: Person Man on October 29, 2008, 01:38:41 PM I'd actually say not in 2009, but probably in 2010. The prices are so volatile, it's hard to imagine it staying consistent enough to say it'll remain this low. Title: Re: How long before gas hits $4/gallon again? Post by: © tweed on October 29, 2008, 01:46:11 PM Where have all the peak oil fundies gone? prices still can go down if/after we've hit peak oil.... of course the higher prices get, the more oil people bother to find, and the more peak oil gets delayed. Title: Re: How long before gas hits $4/gallon again? Post by: Fmr. Pres. Duke on October 29, 2008, 02:03:18 PM I doubt they reach those levels during this recession. So yes, BRTD, if you want the gas levels to remain at these levels, hope for the recession to last most of Obama's first term.

Title: Re: How long before gas hits $4/gallon again? Post by: Grumpier Than Uncle Joe on April 03, 2012, 01:22:59 PM Right now, here.
Title: Re: How long before gas hits $4/gallon again? Post by: LastVoter on April 03, 2012, 02:02:03 PM The funniest thing is that BRTD was right.
Title: Re: How long before gas hits $4/gallon again? Post by: Queen Mum Inks.LWC on April 03, 2012, 03:53:15 PM The funniest thing is that BRTD was right. He was almost right. It happened a bit earlier than he said. Title: Re: How long before gas hits $4/gallon again? Post by: LastVoter on April 03, 2012, 09:39:42 PM Should I do a thread for $5/gallon?
Title: Re: How long before gas hits $4/gallon again? Post by: Yelnoc on April 03, 2012, 10:44:29 PM Should I do a thread for $5/gallon? Title: Re: How long before gas hits $4/gallon again? Post by: muon2 on April 03, 2012, 10:49:32 PM Should I do a thread for $5/gallon? Just specify the measure. National average, or price in a particular jurisdiction. Title: Re: How long before gas hits $4/gallon again? Post by: Beet on April 03, 2012, 10:56:03 PM National average for regular is still $3.92 or so. It probably won't hit $4 for a couple of weeks based on refinery upgrade schedules in the Midwest.
Title: Re: How long before gas hits $4/gallon again? Post by: CultureKing on April 03, 2012, 11:28:02 PM And despite the fact that it took longer than most people thought it would to return to $4 a gallon I will still not be able to escape people endlessly complaining.
Title: Re: How long before gas hits $4/gallon again? Post by: Queen Mum Inks.LWC on April 04, 2012, 12:08:47 AM Finally gas prices are rising to the level that they SHOULD be at!
