In early trading today oil is well over the $72/barrel mark. Gas out in Mentor is at 2.99 and I have a feeling we'll be seeing $3 in no time! At least Speedway is offering 5 cents off a gallon with their rewards card!

Ummm...2.99 is actually 2.99 & 9/10 which is 1/10 of a cent from being $3.
Oil will spike and fall all the way through the heavy driving season.

dpg - $3 is a huge psychological level for consumers and traders. When more and more people start paying 3 bucks or more, it'll be interesting to see the discussions that ensue.
Oil currently on the door of 73/barrel.

Actually, prices at the pump seem to be doing well. Last time oil was $70+ a gallon, I seem to remember paying close to $4 a gallon. It's been $70+ for a week and a half now, and it's barely over $3 here.

I heard on the radio this morning that some report was just released that warned of a major oil crisis in the next 5 years due to growing world demand. We've all heard it before, but the somewhat disturbing part is that it came from like the IEA or something.

Well it went up 46 cents a gallon here today.  nordawg
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

I knew I should have filled up at $2.89 last night, but I was tired on the way home. I went past the pump on my way home tonight and it was $3.19 and I thought I'd pass again. Now, after reading this, I'm thinking about heading out and filling up at that price...

Giant Eagle awards Baby !! I fill up for free ( not really ) but it does feel good looking at .01 on the pump as my tank gets full.

Hey, what do you know... this oil trader just might know a thing or two about how this stuff works.  During the day it hit 73/barrel but quickly came back to the 72.6 area. If this thing can bust thru 73, hang on!

Thanks for that heads up - filled up late this morning at 11:45 before lunch at $3.09. On my way home at 5ish, the price was $3.49 (same station). And this is way out in the suburbs, 45 minutes from downtown.

$4.00 is my top limit,...and if my employer takes away my company vehicle (to-and-from home privileges), I will quit and ride a bike to the closest employer to home I can find.

We'll see $4 sooner or later, so be ready for it. We're a ways from that, but it will happen. Look how quickly we got to $3. I was just thinking last week or so that 2.85 was a bargain at Speedway and now today I paid 3.14.

I filled up this morning at 2.99 in Oregon, went fishing for 2 hrs. and it was 3.29 at the same station on the return trip.
Buying all of our groceries at Kroger got us 30% off for a month. That's a healthy chunk of change at these prices. I'll bet more people will take advantage of this deal.

Oil is clearly over the 73/barrel mark everyone. Just a PSA brought to you by your fellow Browns fan! Wonder how soon we'll see 74/barrel....
