Gasoline Quotations

One of the things we worry about when we cut the tax on gasoline is that it basically stimulates additional use.

Cutting edge technologies have allowed us to utilize coal's diverse potentials. Not only are we using coal in cleaner and more environmentally sound methods, but importantly, we can turn coal into gasoline and diesel.

We designed a car that is for daily commutes and that you charge every day. The less you use the gasoline engine, the better mpg. Essentially, the Karma can achieve dramatic savings and low CO2 output when used as intended, as a daily commuter.

Friday was Atlanta. That was fifteen bucks. Once a month, we made a six hundred mile trip from Indianapolis down to Atlanta, and at fifteen dollars, by the time you feed yourself and buy gasoline, you're minus about ten bucks.

Electric cars are coal-powered cars. Their carbon emissions can be worse than gasoline-powered cars.

Wherever there is injustice, there is anger, and anger is like gasoline - if you spray it around and somebody lights a matchstick, you have an inferno. But anger inside an engine is powerful: it can drive us forward and can get us through dreadful moments and give us power. I learnt this with my discussions with nuclear policy makers.

Flames from the lips may be produced by holding in the mouth a sponge saturated with the purest gasoline.

High gas prices are eating away at consumers disposal income and could lead to a further economic downturn, especially for those whose livelihood depend on gasoline and diesel fuel.

What is needed is an all-out science project to get vehicles off of gasoline, rather than off of the earth.

Parisians overwhelmingly buy small cars. And it's not because people are petite, but because fuel is drop-dead expensive. Gasoline costs more than twice as much in Paris as in New York.

Let me respond with a few points, the first being that all immigrants pay taxes, income taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, gasoline taxes, cigarette taxes, every tax when they make a purchase.

Like the vast majority of my constituents, I continue to be concerned about record profits reported by petroleum companies at a time when consumers are paying record high prices for gasoline.

With the increased cost of gasoline, it doesn't appear that we're going to see a slowing of interest in mass transit. I think it's going to continue to grow.

So we in Congress have a very clear choice. We can take largely symbolic action and sit back and fiddle while Americans burn more gasoline. Or we can pass concrete, effective legislation that will save consumers money while significantly reducing U.S. oil consumption.

The United States' gasoline industry, as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita demonstrated, is remarkably fragile. And the process of how oil is pumped from the ground, turned into gasoline and distributed to consumers is complicated.

How we fund transportation in this country is broken. You all pay a gasoline tax, right? Well, cars go farther, we get electric cars, and so on. And then we do more with the money than just build roads. We do bike lanes and mass transit.

My mother, who grew up in Pennsylvania, literally washed my mouth out with soap once for saying, 'Shut up!' to my sister. She would have washed my mouth out with gasoline if she knew how foul my mouth was racially when she wasn't around.

Mr. Speaker, high natural gas prices and the summer spike in gasoline prices serve as a stark reminder that the path to energy independence is a long and arduous one.

In the immediate aftermath of the hurricane, I sent a letter to EPA Administrator Stephen L Johnson urging him to waive regulations to allow for the early sale of winter grade fuel to help with gasoline shortages and gasoline prices.

Natural gas is the best transportation fuel. It's better than gasoline or diesel. It's cleaner, it's cheaper, and it's domestic. Natural gas is 97 percent domestic fuel, North America.

Just because you put higher-octane gasoline in your car doesn't mean you can break the speed limit. The speed limit's still 65.

The way things are going, we are not too far from the day when it will take an hour's labor just to pay for the gasoline to get to the job.

Common sense solutions to lowering your gasoline bills can go far. Carpooling, taking fewer or shorter road trips, and ensuring that your tires are fully inflated can all help stop the pinch at the pump.

And as you point out, for American families who struggle every day to figure out how do they pay, we talk about gasoline prices. That throws budgets into a real problem when you have budgeted really tight.

This is absolutely bizarre that we continue to subsidize highways beyond the gasoline tax, airlines, and we don't subsidize, we don't want to subsidize a national rail system that has environmental impact.

The Federal Reserve - all of them - could be sitting on a barrel of dynamite, and then pouring gasoline on top of it, and then light a cigar with matches, throw the match into the gasoline, and then not notice that there is any danger.

Ethanol doesn't burn cleaner than gasoline, nor is it cheaper.

Environmental quality was drastically improved while economic activity grew by the simple expedient of removing lead from gasoline - which prevented it from entering the environment.

I am now standing in a mixture of cooling fluid, gasoline, and cola.

A Prius is not a true hybrid, really. The current Prius is, like, 2 percent electric. It's a gasoline car with slightly better mileage.

We are seeing a small deficit in gasoline supplies, and there is some concern that the heavy refinery maintenance schedule set for the end of the quarter is going to affect supplies.

We usually worked just a couple of miles behind the front lines. I guess a lot of our job was transferring gasoline from 55-gallon drums to 5-gallon cans,

We believe that provisions in the proposed legislation regarding reformulated gasoline are back-door attempts at invalidating state laws banning the use of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), a known carcinogen.

We are at levels that in the past several years had caused gasoline prices to approach the $1.70-type national average record levels.

We're talking about a 20-cent difference in the same brand of gasoline in two different locations,

Watch out for wintertime, ... If we get an early-onset winter or cold snap, things will start getting crazy again. Gasoline and home heating oil compete for the available crude.

We've always planned on gasoline being over $65 a barrel,

We're going to see refineries further ramp up gasoline production as they come back on line. Concerns about gasoline will fade as this results in increased stocks.

We're going to go through a very challenging time the next six months, is my guess, ... Both in terms of gasoline availability and (prices of) natural gas and heating oil, we're going to have some problems.

What has occurred is that supply swelled as our domestic refinery capacity came back on line after recovering from hurricane damage and gasoline imports flooded in to help fill the demand.

What makes it different is the fact the fuels burn so readily. They burn -- it's an old clich? -- like gasoline was poured on it.

US product markets remain extremely weak at present, with most of that weakness focused in gasoline markets.

We're going to continue to see not only higher prices but gasoline availability issues on the Gulf Coast and other issues in the southeast United States, mainly due to fuel distribution problems over the short term.

We're in the time of year when steep price increases are common, but this year prices are being boosted by speculation about whether there will be sufficient gasoline supplies for later in the year. It may be several weeks before a clear picture develops on the nation's gasoline production, but in the meantime, prices could climb to near $3 per gallon.

We're not accusing anyone of anything, ... But the American public has the right to know why gasoline prices have spiked so much since the hurricane and for the last year or so.

With the spike in gasoline prices like this -- a tank of gas is $50 or $60 -- it certainly makes the criminal mind more inclined to see what they can get away with.

Ultimately, the bill may rest on a shaky premise, as Clean Air Act permitting provisions seem to have only a marginal effect on decisions by oil companies to invest in new refining capacity, ... Industry and government analysts alike agree that profit margins are the most significant factor, and record profits from high gasoline prices have encouraged a major investment in added refining capacity. Projects already reported or announced are expected to add nearly 600,000 b/d to our existing capacity over the next several years.

With the year-on-year deficit in gasoline and with economic growth it is hard to be bearish about energy in the short or medium term. The manufacturing and retail numbers, the regional and national numbers, wherever you look they are positive. The same goes for overseas.

With the weather still relatively warm, the market is unlikely to sharply focus on the bullish heating oil market that is in the works. Refiners are making gasoline late in the year.

Worries about gasoline supplies during the summer driving season are fading.

World oil prices jumped again this week as the price of crude oil traded above $63 per barrel. Seasonal maintenance being performed at gasoline refineries will temporarily limit gasoline production. The near future will probably continue to show lots of ups and downs, and traders react to news of almost any sort.

We're still going to need to refine this oil into heating oil and gasoline before it really has an effect on us.

We're seeing that there is not as much gasoline available as is being consumed.

We're seeing quite a bit of cold weather, particularly in the northeastern states. As a result, they're using more home heating oil. That puts pressure on heating oil, crude oil and gasoline prices.

We're seeing a lot of profit-taking in products - heating oil and gasoline - ahead of the weekend.

We've got a very uncertain geopolitical environment, and we have an uncertain gasoline situation in the U.S., and all those factors are driving the energy market higher.

The car bomb was fertilizer, gasoline, fireworks and propane tanks...still safer than a Toyota.

We are all very pleased that Colonial is once again safely delivering both gasoline and distillates all along our system,

The refinery outages should lead to weak demand for crude oil from the refining sector. It's not crude oil that is in short supply, but gasoline and distillates.

This was a report that was made to order for dollar bulls. The market was predisposed to buy dollars and the report added gasoline to the fire.

There is a real risk that U.S. refineries will be unable to sufficiently bring back capacity in time for the summer driving season. This will force increased reliance on gasoline imports, and higher prices for consumers.

There are no fuel supplies, ... You can't buy gasoline at will to get in and out. You may end up stranded on the highway.

We're as upset about the high price of gasoline as the customers are. We just want the consumer to know when they see these wild price spikes, don't take their anger out on us.

The crack spread of gasoline has collapsed, and only an escalation of Iranian tensions could buttress crude at this level.

The CPI was good news but still leaves that question mark about energy prices. The gasoline hike of the past three weeks was not included in it.

The problem with sufficient refinery capacity to produce gasoline still presents an issue, at least within the US.

The reality is we're all looking at the price per gallon of gasoline and heating oil, and even cord wood, and we're seeing prices that are volatile, and I don't think anybody can accurately predict what we'll be paying for these commodities in two weeks, let alone two months.

There is a lot of gasoline infrastructure in New Jersey.

There is certainly more going on than just hurricanes and a resulting spike in gasoline prices, ... could weigh on people's attitudes.

The production of gasoline in the U.S. is quite limited compared against the same period last year. And the refinery bottleneck situation is still a problem that drives the market.

When I first did the book on gasoline stations, people would look at it and say, Are you kidding or what? Why are you doing this? In a sense, that's what I was after: I was after the head-scratching.

When you drive your car, E = mc2 is at work. As the engine burns gasoline to produce energy in the form of motion, it does so by converting some of the gasoline's mass into energy, in accord with Einstein's formula.

This ratcheting down of allowable sulfur adds to costs and also strains the refining system. In 2006, the EPA could well cost gasoline consumers more than Hurricane Katrina did.

The profit is between 5 and 10 cents depending on what kind of gasoline we get,

We won't have any answers if the question is what are you going to do tomorrow morning about gasoline prices.

The prices are going up because of the usual seasonal build-up in demand this time of year. The reason we still have prices going up when inventories are seemingly abundant is that there's a lot of uncertainty about gasoline supplies in the future.

The price of gasoline - well, no, but that would be a funny thing to say. I just want to do something new.

The price of gasoline at the wholesale level declined sharply last week and there continues to be downward pressure on gas in Texas. Motorists may be in for a few weeks of slightly lower prices. But toward the end of the month, it's likely that pump prices will resume an upward arc.

I've been putting out the fire with gasoline.

We've never been in a market like this, where gasoline prices are cheap. It's a world that's very hostile to small cars.

We're looking at companies which are taking advantage of high energy prices, and we've been buying energy stocks. We try to avoid consumer-related stocks as high gasoline prices will impact the consumer.

We're continuing to see OPEC pump huge amounts and I suspect that over the next few weeks, we'll begin to see inventories build as demand switches from gasoline to heating oil, which does not have as much demand,

Low-end consumers, the ones that spend every penny of their paycheck, are really hurting with these gasoline prices.

Last year the market was anticipating such an incredible spring they valued the winter gasoline even a bit higher.

September sales were surprisingly resilient in the face of significantly higher gasoline prices. While this is reassuring, the question remains: 'How long can the consumer maintain the current spending rate given expectations for continued pressure from energy prices?

Sentiment is finally beginning to show that consumers are getting a little bit unnerved about higher gasoline prices.

On any Saturday morning trip out of the house one would be hard pressed not to have noticed rapidly rising home prices, the spike in gasoline costs, and less enticing financing for vehicles.

Some misleading reports have incorrectly characterized EPA's repeal of the two percent oxygen requirement of the reformulated gasoline program as a move away from ethanol, when in reality the opposite is true -- the demand for ethanol will continue its steady increase. Using ethanol in reformulated gasoline was extraordinarily successful in helping reduce harmful tailpipe emissions around the United States.

Since we are at gas-price levels that are higher than we have ever seen, it's difficult to say what impact that will have. In the past, gasoline prices haven't been a factor in people's decisions,

Sixty-five percent of drivers will not use gas on a daily basis. The only time you ever use gasoline is when you go on vacation or go skiing.

Motorists have not seen the end of price increases. Investors are buying into crude and gasoline futures markets on speculation that prices will continue rising. Retail prices still have not caught up with wholesale price increases. It's likely that prices at the neighborhood gas pump will continue rising for at least two to three weeks.

My feeling is it's far too fragmented a business for them to have any success finding any predatory pricing, collusion or a gentleman's agreement. The reality is California does not produce enough gasoline within its borders to satisfy demand.

Non-essential travel will be ended, idling of vehicles will be limited as much as possible and air conditioning will not be used, ... The point of all these things is to have some measurable impact in the amount of gasoline and diesel fuel consumed by city vehicles.

Only about three or four of the gasoline terminals of the 10 or so in the area have product now.

My contract is tied to the City of Boston's wholesale pricing. So it's whoever has the lowest pricing above Boston costs. That usually ends up being a two-year contract, but because of the dynamic of gasoline costs, you can't lock into a price,

More likely, it was continued nervousness about gasoline supplies and possible commercial buying on the back of healthy crack spreads.

Nobody should smoke cigarettes - and smoking with an ulcer is like pouring gasoline on a burning house.

Retail sales were pretty good, considering at the start of the season we were looking at $3 gasoline and were still recovering from the hurricanes. Consumers got out early and responded to early-bird specials, but there wasn't much new. There was no hot toy or hot apparel look.

People will still watch gasoline because of maintenance and subsequent specification changes.
