Gasoline Quotations | Page 2

People were unable to make claims because of the hurricane. The labor market will certainly take a short-term hit in the aftermath of the hurricane; only if gasoline prices remain higher will the economy take a sustained hit outside of the affected regions.

Nigeria isn't enough to continue to push crude oil prices higher due to current ample supplies in the U.S.. Gasoline inventories remain above the upper end of the five-year range since early February.

Ninety percent of our tickets are sold at convenience stores with gas. If you live close to the border, your buying habits will typically be to buy where gasoline is cheap. If you smoke cigarettes, you're probably going to be going to a South Carolina location.

Near-term gasoline prices are likely to go somewhat higher. Are we going to see two bucks again? Not anytime soon.

Near-term energy price spikes, ubiquitous gasoline lines and fear of shortages have exposed the soft underbelly of the U.S. energy complex,

One of the contributing factors for the gains is the fact that gasoline futures came off the highs of the day. Any sign that the wallet won't be hit so deeply by energy prices is a cause to push stocks higher.

I would caution people not to store gasoline in large quantities, ... It leaves the potential for a fire or even excessive fumes that wouldn't be there at a normal time.

If we don't get gasoline to keep our water system running, then we're going to ask people to leave town, ... Our critical need is gas. We've had three incidents of looting because we can't patrol like we need to because there's no gasoline for our police cars.

If we get draws in gasoline inventories, that could turn the market around.

If we can sell gasoline to China, India and Latin America, as we have been doing, we will not have a problem.

If we continue to print new paychecks at the rate we've been adding them, that mitigates a lot of the damage of higher gasoline prices.

I don't feel I deserve a raise just because the price of gasoline is going up.

I'd like to give you $100 (in gasoline money) for whoever gives you the buses.

But they do provide evidence that the oil infrastructure can bounce back pretty quickly after a really bad storm. These gasoline numbers give a cushion.

Based on prior experience, consumers will travel by car this summer, as long as the economy remains strong. There may be some moves away from big vehicles, which we've already seen to some degree, but gasoline costs won't curtail travel.

Basically what is happening is the industry is trying to stop a run on wholesale gasoline by gas stations, ... The gas station owners don't want to under price the market and possibly run out of gasoline.

Barring something we don't see coming, like $2 gasoline or 10 percent interest rates, I don't see the slowdown coming anytime soon.

Because of this, there is concern of a potential disruption in gasoline supplies due to this switch-over.

I hate to be an alarmist, but we're in a situation without much precedent. With the gasoline market as tight as it is, people complain about $3 gas but they'll put $5 gas in their car if they suddenly think it's not available.

I found diesel and gasoline and several petroleum products. Some of them were kind of 'hot' stuff -- not just ordinary products. There was a lot of stuff down there.

Given gasoline is such a small component of the household basket in Japan, it should be having an almost negligible impact on sentiment.

Given the intensity and the path of Katrina, damage to oil infrastructures in the Gulf of Mexico is forecast to be more serious than Ivan. With current production losses, the gasoline market will continue to be tight in the short run as summer driving season comes to an end.

Given the current environment with gasoline prices, the fact that GM's major actions are so heavily weighted in mid- and large SUVs, that seems problematic,

Given the capacity constraints, the effect of additional barrels of crude oil seems limited and the amount of gasoline will be insufficient to ease current supply tightness.

Four refineries may come back in the next two or three weeks. For another three or four refineries at least, we will probably have to wait for more than a month. We have seen some efforts by the U.S. government telling people not to buy gasoline if they don't need it, to conserve energy.

From a meat standpoint, does this result in higher heating costs on top of higher gasoline costs? ... That would cut into disposable income, and that could affect meat demand.

I don't think we're going to see a return to pre-Katrina levels for gasoline prices even with crude prices holding steady.

I don't understand every nook and cranny of the gasoline business, but if you change your prices three times in one day or two times in a day and it's the same gas you have in your tank, there is no justification for that,

I expected our index to tick lower in March, as the effects from the Super Bowl and mild winter weather faded. Looking ahead, our index probably will settle into a lower range, as the local economy struggles to overcome restructuring in the auto sector, higher interest rates, and elevated gasoline prices.

I don't think it has peaked and I don't think an increase in oil production immediately can offset the immediate up pressures that exist specific to the U.S. gasoline market.

Forty-seven percent of the refinery activity in the U.S. is in the Gulf. That was bolstering the price of unleaded gasoline and home-heating oil, and pulling up crude prices with it.

For the short run, gasoline prices are going to be the dominant element in defining the economy.

For too long, Americans have been led to believe they can enjoy low oil and gasoline prices with less exploration and refining. The hurricanes have shown that this equation is not sustainable.

GM is pursuing gasoline-savings solutions on many fronts on the way to our ultimate vision of hydrogen fuel cell-powered transportation. E85 ethanol burns cleaner than gasoline and is a renewable, domestic fuel that can enhance the nation's economy and energy security.

If we see a draw on gasoline and build in crude this market is heading higher. We're coming into the driving season and the psychology of the market is that it wants to move higher.

If the housing market is cooling at the same time as gasoline prices are picking up that could combine to create a perfect storm for consumer spending. This is something the Federal Reserve will watch very closely.

There is a great deal of information floating around about the gasoline tax -- both accurate and inaccurate. This will give citizens and elected officials the opportunity to sift through the most precise information and move forward with the facts.

There is a great deal of fear and uncertainty out there. On the one hand it's sad to see peoples' lives disrupted and destroyed. On the other hand, people are worrying about how they are going to pay their gasoline bills and their home heating bills this winter. It makes for a pretty bleak view of the future.

There is no easy answer to gasoline prices,

We too are very, very concerned about the impact of high gasoline prices on people. There are some steps that can and should be taken.... But waiving the Clean Air Act is not one of them. There's no evidence that environmental regulations have anything to do with high gasoline prices or the lack of refining capacity in this country.

We've gone from comfortable U.S. gasoline stocks to average and seem to be heading very clearly toward the low of the range. The market is worried about that.

With more gasoline being produced and less worry of production disruptions, consumers can expect lower and more stable gasoline prices.

We sympathize with consumers paying high gasoline prices. We are trying to help public-policy makers understand what makes prices high.

We think action needs to be taken now to address these high gasoline and fuel costs,

Today focus will be on the US inventory data, with gasoline stocks expected to have fallen by 1.9 million barrels in the week to August 5 as refineries struggle to avoid breakdowns and meet demand,

What we don't know is if there will be enough supply at the right place at the right time. There is the potential for regional gasoline supply issues.

Here's my hope, ... If OPEC meets and decides to increase production at a sizable level, late spring, early summer you will see a gradual decrease in gasoline and diesel prices.

Having the strategic petroleum reserve, sadly, puts crude oil in the hands of refineries that can't refine it quickly enough to affect the market, ... With this gasoline and jet-fuel reserve, we can have an immediate impact on the market.

Hawaii is taking the absolutely correct approach to the gasoline industry, ... The more states that follow Hawaii's lead, the sooner we'll be able to force this industry to get back to normal market behavior that benefits the consumer but also allows them a reasonable profit.

Going forward, sales growth will be more modest and inconsistent. Fundamentals are mixed. The biggest drag is high and rising gasoline and other energy prices.

He's a little smart-aleck colored boy, Teddy says he's a pro. Teddy tells Maurice to get us a gasoline truck so we can fill up our cars. Maurice comes back with a highway hauler, Texaco written across the tank. The time I met him Maurice had swiped more different kinds of vehicles than any car booster doing time at Jeff City. But you're right, what's the rush?

There is ample crude around. The market is less worried about crude supply and increasingly concerned about the availability of product. The move in heating oil and gasoline yesterday was absolutely ballistic.

When they searched my car, they said that they found a gasoline canister and I think duct tape. Who wouldn't have a gasoline canister on them when driving 3,000 miles across country?

We look at it as an alternative renewable fuel. Ideally, we would be able to use it the same way we use gasoline in our engines.

Hypothetically speaking, if the gasoline crunch forces prices up to $4 a gallon in the next three months, that would be a pretty big hit to the economy and to the consumer,

I wouldn't be surprised if we go back above $70 a barrel. Nigeria, Iran and the U.S. gasoline market could all push us there.

Katrina's effects are being felt nationally-on the nation's transportation arteries, supply chains, chemical plants, airlines, leisure/hotels, gasoline prices everywhere and retailing. The commercial impact is widespread.

Katrina really increased the anxiety about gasoline prices in the U.S. and calls for conservation only add to that,

John Kerry has made up a false measurement to support his ongoing efforts to talk down the economy, ... John Kerry's support for higher taxes on small business, Social Security benefits and gasoline would bring misery to America's working families.

It can't last, ... Wholesale gasoline prices are already responding to the crude oil price hikes, and are on the way up, so a turnaround at the pump can be expected fairly quickly.

It appears as if when consumers are faced with higher gasoline prices, they continue to spend their money,

It ain't looking good. All the indicators that point toward the ultimate price of gasoline are negative . The only positive indicator is the stocks of crude oil are good.

It (consumer sentiment) was a little higher than expected, but the stock market has come back, gasoline prices have come down, and the weather has been beautiful and that has to affect consumers somewhat.

I think the market may focus on the gasoline numbers, which showed much bigger numbers than were expected. Eventually I think they're going to turn out to be negative for commodity prices and will probably weigh on energy stocks as well,

I think that people actually would rather pay $30 a year for cleaner gasoline than $20 dollars a year, or every other year and take their car in a get it E-checked.

I think the gasoline tax, the sales tax on gasoline, should be suspended immediately.

I think the drive-to travel market is still up in the air, and we won't know until Thanksgiving, ... That's the next big travel holiday in the petroleum industry. But, generally, I think the rapid escalation in the price of gasoline has slowed down demand.

It is going to be a tough winter for many seniors. Not only will they face higher Medicare premiums, but record gasoline prices and higher home heating bills as well.

I think it's over. The slightly higher crude oil prices combined with a recovery in gasoline demand is ending the retail gasoline price crash.

I think urban legends, whether true or not, are a pretty sensitive gauge of people's frustrations over things like gasoline prices. The situation in Iraq is frustrating to both pro and anti-war folks, and in some of the other realities of modern life you look for someone to blame, and you start at the top.

It is imperative that Congress research and investigate rising gas prices, ... High gas prices have the potential to derail our economy. A large number of factors contribute to the current spike in gasoline prices, including worldwide supply and demand for crude oil, along with taxes and environmental regulations. This problem will require both long-term and short-term solutions. This task force will seek to identify and eliminate any federal barriers that are contributing to unnecessarily high prices in the short-run.

I will say it will bring gasoline prices down substantially within two to three weeks. I would say by 20 cents at least or even more.

I think the relationship between ethanol and gasoline should restore to normal, whatever normal is, in the future. But as product gets short in whatever area of the country, people look for other kinds of fuels to replace it Å  The individual properties of fuel aren't as important as just having the fuel itself.

Last week, chain-store sales came in pretty strong. But if you stripped out gasoline sales from Wal-Mart and Costco it really showed us that consumer spending had started to weaken on a fundamental level.

Our imports of gasoline averaged close to 1.0 million barrels per day in the last four weeks, which is very high for February.

Our hunger for electricity is no less than our hunger for gasoline or oil.

Over the next few weeks we'll be up to where we were before Hurricane Katrina, and that's going to put more gasoline on the market. We think that will cause gas prices to start coming down over the Memorial Day weekend.

Over the past several days we have seen the capacity to ship gasoline by pipeline slowly return, so it is critical that our refineries remain supplied with crude oil,

Our gasoline system is not meant to handle everyone filing up their tank at the same time.

Our gasoline prices are hovering at $3 a gallon, and that causes a serious problem for a lot of our commerce and a lot of our families.

Our country needs more oil refineries because the people who work for a living need gasoline to get to work. These are the people who earn paychecks and buy groceries and pay their bills, including their taxes. That means they use gasoline every day. They need it, and they need it at a price they can afford to pay.

Our country currently uses 150 billion gallons of gasoline per year. By contrast, we consume four billion gallons of ethanol. A huge potential for growth exists within this industry.

Right now our wholesale prices are so high we're going to be sucking in gasoline from everywhere. Which is what we want.

Rising oil and gasoline prices are negative for the dollar.

Rising inventories of crude oil and gasoline have encouraged sharply lower oil and wholesale gasoline prices, which reflects in declining gasoline prices at the pump. Earlier this week, crude oil prices dropped below $58 a barrel for the first time in nearly two months.

rising crude oil prices, low fuel inventories, strong summer driving season demand and an environmentally driven transition to new gasoline specifications are combining to keep upward pressure on pump prices.

Retail gasoline prices have moved higher against a backdrop of increased crude oil prices. A year ago, crude oil traded at $49 a barrel and gas prices averaged $1.792--49 cents lower than the current average of $2.283. This week, crude hovers around $66 a barrel.

Retail gasoline prices have gone up 15 cents in the past two weeks. The increases can be traced to investor speculation leading to higher prices for both crude and wholesale gasoline. With crude trading around $64 a barrel, it doesn't appear likely gasoline will fall below $2 a gallon anytime soon.

Refinery shutdowns will have a big impact on gasoline prices, ... and that's a tax on consumers.

Refiners have been producing gasoline flat out since the storms. Gasoline was needed, money was to be made and there was political pressure. The last thing they wanted was to be hauled into a congressional hearing and hear about a windfall profits tax.

Refineries are squeezing out every gallon of gasoline possible, and they?re doing a good job of it. The problem is, it?s coming at the expense of the other products like heating oil.

Recent, severe increases in gasoline prices in my state are, to say the least, baffling. Our citizens are demanding, if not complete answers, at least some rational justification for this dramatic price increase.

Reliable, efficiently delivered crude oil supplies are needed by area refineries to maintain affordable gasoline prices for the residents of Utah.

Our refueling efforts have been highly evaluated by the foreign countries, but there has also been criticism that we're running a 'free gasoline station,'

People need that auto and won't stop buying gasoline because of a price rise. We can look forward to another tight summer.

People look at two oil men in the White House, and gasoline prices through the roof, and they likely assume that the president and the vice president are on the side of oil companies, not on the side of ordinary people.

Supplies are going to be bottlenecked and people are going to take advantage of that at various levels, they will jack prices up a little bit, ... But there are no gas shortages. There is plenty of gasoline in the pipeline.

Sussex County is suffering maybe more than most. Kent County is having its problems. ... High gasoline prices, highway congestion, people in manufactured homes are dealing with unconscionable rental increases. Most of this can be laid at the Legislature's doorstep.

Some of those pressures on energy will ease in another month or so, hopefully, ... Stocks aren't a commodity. We have longer expectations. We're looking past the 50-cent increase (in gasoline prices), and that's why stocks can withstand it.

Nationally, production is down and demand is up compared to last year. In addition, many regions of the country are having trouble getting sufficient supplies of ethanol, which is used in new formulas for gas. Uncertainty about supply has lifted gasoline to near-record prices on the spot market and that filters down to the neighborhood gas pump.
