Gasoline Quotations | Page 3

My message today is that shutdowns of industry facilities could impact the flow of gasoline and other fuels,

London equities continue to edge higher as the week progresses with rising oil prices, due to increased U.S. gasoline demand, lending a degree of support to the petrochemicals companies.

Market operators are aware that the gasoline market will be tight this summer because of the specification changes. The main concern a couple weeks ago was that supply was more than plentiful, but when you look at gasoline stockpiles, they don't reflect the gasoline that will actually be used in summer.

Market forces are causing gasoline prices to skyrocket and I believe other states will move to do all they can do to ease the pain their citizens feel every time they fill up their tanks.

It did exist in New Orleans but they didn't have gasoline for the generators,

It does appear we've turned the corner here in this market. They're reacting to the fact that there was less damage than expected, rather than the amount of damage that did occur. Yes, it's going to take time to repair these refineries, and yes there will be at least one day we'll see prices run up. But I think we've probably seen the highest gasoline prices behind us.

Jim said this was a very Southern remark, but I made the statement, 'We're going to start the fire, and everybody else is going to throw some gasoline on it as they come by.'

It is better to use various inputs to grow corn and make ethanol and use that in your cars than it is to use the gasoline and fossil fuels directly.

We need some help from gasoline before crude oil can pick up.

We notice it every day -- when we go to gasoline stations, we pay more,

The amount of refined oil products our country imports is very small, and our diesel and gasoline demand structure is different from the international market.

That was a shocking gasoline build...the crude build was bigger than expected and that should put down pressure on the market.

That will provide roughly 10 percent more gasoline for California users and hopefully stabilize availability, which we hope will stabilize prices.

Most areas of the country will see price increases in gasoline this week.

Wholesale gasoline prices have dropped across the country and West Coast gasoline inventory is strong. That actually led to a slight decline in pump prices in the last few days, although overall averages are still higher than at this time last week. However, oil industry analysts expect wholesale prices to start heading up again once the more expensive summer-grade fuel starts going on the market at the end of February.

Who knows what refineries are going to be shut down for some period time, and thus the crisis of what has been $2.50 gas and then $2.70 is going to rocket through $3? ... There is something wrong, up to this point, with the price of gasoline - it is not the supply and demand of the normal marketplace.

While the drop in gasoline prices makes these sales figures look bad, it is of course good news for spending in real terms, which is what really counts.

We have people from five states here this year for the competition, and with the cost of gasoline so high, they still keep coming,

You'll probably see gasoline prices drop in the 10- to 20-cent range.

You know, I live in Michigan, ... I've worked with a lot of guys who make a lot more money than I do and have won awards and all that. I don't brood about it, but it's there, and everybody wishes they were recognized more, appreciated more. So I just kind of took that, poured gasoline on it and lit it. Then I had (Bernard). Then he was there.

While we still haven't seen the full effect of gasoline prices, (consumers) know what's going on here, and that's probably affected some of their purchases.

Without a doubt, the decline mainly reflects the run-up in gasoline prices.

You almost conceptually expect that gasoline prices will be just about as volatile as petroleum and oil prices. It's hard to do the same with electricity.

We're advising motorists not to top-off their tanks. With the price of gasoline escalating, motorists can conserve gas by making sure their vehicle is routinely maintained, consolidating trips, car pooling, using mass transit and for short trips try bicycling or walking.

We equate cheap gasoline with freedom. It's almost as if we as Americans believe we have a constitutional right to cheap energy.

We do think prices will go up a little bit, but in the end we do think gasoline prices will stabilize,

We must not permit anyone in the gasoline supply chain to profit from a natural disaster by taking advantage of consumers,

We had gunfire up and down here. We had looters over here. We drove in with a bus. We had people jumping in the windows stealing stuff. We had one gasoline truck that was commandeered by the feds when it was coming in the other day. But from our perspective, the easiest thing for us was to get everything up and rolling.

You are going to see gasoline prices higher than you saw with Katrina, ... Enjoy the prices that you have while you can.

U.S. gasoline may be rattling people's cages. We're going to see another steep draw. That, Nigeria and Iran are the market's three hot buttons right now.

U.S. gasoline inventories have fallen further below their five-year average, while U.S. oil demand remains strong. Our estimates of current market balances indicate a significant tightening relative to a year ago.

We know that they (motorists) are getting tired of hearing the rationalizations for the way gasoline prices are going higher.

Three dollar gasoline is lining the pockets of investors and company executives, while working people who have no choice but to drive are suffering for those excesses. For the oil companies, too much seems never to be enough.

Transportation projects are traditionally not funded through the General Fund but rather through the Transportation Trust Fund. However, the gasoline tax has leveled out somewhat because cars have become more fuel efficient.

We need to understand whether credit card companies are gouging gasoline consumers through the interchange fees they charge,

We had expected a rebound. Gasoline prices are down a lot, so that is good news, but they are still very high and that may be what is weighing on people's minds at this point.

We have a very cautious consumer in an environment with rising prices for (things like) gasoline and natural gas. But in my opinion, it won't cause people to stop traveling.

Weaker spending on seasonal goods has been building up for four months now. The two factors hurting consumers particularly at the low- and middle-income levels are that wages have not grown and gasoline prices could go even higher.

Two years ago, when gasoline cost $2 a gallon, the industry said to give it time and prices would settle down. Now, we're seeing $3 a gallon, ... People in California are no longer believing the excuses of the industry. If they can't fix their market behavior, we'll fix it for them.

Unfortunately, too many of these vehicles have been -- or will be -- running on pure gasoline due to the lack of a fuel infrastructure. But we know that flex-fuels can work, when industry and government get behind them and encourage infrastructure development.

Unfortunately there's nothing, really, that can be done that's going to affect energy prices or gasoline prices in the very short run.

The overall number did perk up at the end of the month. Higher gasoline prices did help a bit.

Where consumers are likely to feel the pinch more is at the pump, where gasoline prices are likely to rise.

We probably are OK (with gasoline supplies) to get to Labor Day, but the question is how much is demand going to fall off (after the holiday) and what's crude going to do and how does that impact the gasoline price.

We're doing well because we make the more expensive boats. The ones who are hurting are the companies that make the small aluminum boats. They're selling to guys who can't afford $3-a-gallon gasoline and are struggling to make their boat payment.

There is more bad news to come in May. Gasoline will be up sharply, and tobacco will be up.

The question is, is this a short-lived phenomenon? If you get another big draw in gasoline tomorrow, this sell-off could be a one-day miracle.

The projections that the futures market is making are that you're going to see gradual decreases in gasoline prices,

Traditional SUVs will continue to face headwinds in the coming months, ... Fortunately our lineup of cars and crossover utility vehicles is strong and getting stronger. These categories likely will continue to attract buyers in an environment where gasoline prices are rising.

Trading is rather quiet this week because of Columbus Day and the Jewish holidays. You often see big swings in prices when the volume is low. Also, gasoline is close to $1.80, which is probably a little overboard in spite of the fall in demand.

Traders remain extremely nervous about gasoline supplies, especially with the switch to ethanol nationwide.

We do gasoline promotions and heating oil promotions regularly ... there is a recognition that these are popular items due to the high cost of gasoline and home heating oil prices.

We began to blend increasing quantities of ethanol in our gasoline pool.

The data that stands out is the gasoline inventories, which are up more than twice what was expected. The initial reaction is a little negative due to huge increase in gasoline.

The declining price of gasoline echoes a recent drop in crude oil prices. The drop in oil appears to be due to continued growth in domestic oil inventories.

The demand for gasoline is very strong. And obviously now people are thinking ahead. And if we have a cold winter, we'll see a run up in home heating oil to above $2 per gallon,

When you adjust it for inflation, a year ago we were looking at gasoline prices that were cheaper than they had been during the Great Depression. So it was an extraordinary bargain.

How hard can it be to blow up a room full of gasoline?!

If it's about the lives of my soldiers at stake, I'd go through hell with a gasoline can.

Passion about nothing is like pouring gasoline in a car without wheels. It isn't going to lead anybody anywhere.

We used bulldozers to dig deep trenches and stored the gasoline down there. Then we covered them over.

We're stocking up now before it goes up more. This is expected. If it wasn't one tragedy it would be another. I'm sure the price of gasoline will be $10 per gallon one day.

We're trying to light that fire or maybe pour gasoline on that fire. You just have to get out the door and run. It's the easiest sport, but it's the hardest sport.

The real question is how the rise in gasoline prices is going to affect the holiday season. I think this will be the toughest test of the consumer in at least four years.

While surging high imports likely allowed total U.S. gasoline stockpiles to start rebuilding in the week ended April 28, it may take time for depleted East Coast stocks to reach desired levels ahead of the peak summer driving months.

While oil companies continue to blame crude oil prices and ethanol additives for the recent gasoline price spikes in California, the chief cause is increased profiteering by oil companies that have previously posted world record profits.

We are worried about supply in general throughout the world and particularly of gasoline and particularly in the United States.

We can't speak for each of the 170,000 gasoline stations nationwide, ... But it's clear that gasoline prices are up 29 cents a gallon because crude oil prices are up about 29 cents a gallon during the same period.

We don't want to be required to change (standards) in gasoline if another program is taken off the table.

We have gasoline at $2 a gallon. If that doesn't drive demand, I don't know what will.

We have found no evidence of a national conspiracy to fix gasoline prices.

We wouldn't be surprised to see nationwide gasoline prices averaging $3 a gallon again before the end of May. And they could go even higher than that.

This sale ensures that refineries have the petroleum they need to keep gasoline and diesel fuel flowing to American consumers while production facilities in the gulf region regain their capacity,

This requirement, coupled with on-going strong demand and unrest in the Middle East, will keep the cost of gasoline over the $2 mark in the foreseeable future.

This report marks a healthy start to the gasoline buildup for the summer driving season. A few more weeks of this kind of healthy build will help further assure the market that gasoline prices this summer will head south.

This report is completely overshadowed by the storm. We did see a draw in gasoline stocks, and even though it's slight it isn't what this market needed,

This relative stability has been remarkable given the ebbs and flows in job creation, the equity markets, the conflict in Iraq, the election campaign, interest rates and gasoline prices.

There has been real concern for the last several months about hurricanes, about consumer sentiment, about gasoline inflation hurting consumer spending,

When egos clash often between you and the school principal, it is not too wise to develop a mad crush on his attractive daughter. For this will certainly amount to adding gasoline to a raging inferno.

Why is the price of gasoline higher in our region? We have no clear answer.

We've clearly been getting support from the weather. Crude oil, distillate and gasoline supplies are all higher while demand is lower. There really isn't a bullish cloud on the horizon.

We were told by a state trooper that there is only one gas station between Montgomery and Mobile, ... We've checked with the National Guard and the only fuel they have is diesel. We have enough gasoline to make the trip down. The problem is we need gasoline to run the generators and vehicles once we get there and that is a concern.

You have gasoline in Europe at $5, and in the United States at $2.20. Eventually, it's going to have to move up. ... I do think you're going to see gasoline prices move up to $3 within a year from now.

This year we've been so fortunate with the weather. Even with the rise in gasoline and oil prices, it hasn't made the anticipated dent that we thought, which is a good thing.

We believe soaring gasoline prices after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita are leading to an accelerating decline in demand for S.U.V.'s, ... disproportionate reliance on S.U.V.-related earnings.

We believe our competitors have shown irrational exuberance with Christmas forecasts, ... We believe the average consumer is worried about higher gasoline prices, jobs and doesn't believe he will benefit from the stock market. With this climate, if you're just a 'me-too' retailer, you'll be in a world of hurt. The department stores will suffer but the discounters Wal-Mart and Target will do well.

With a massive shortfall in gasoline a strong possibility in the next few months and the hurricane season still active, we at least expect product prices to be supported for the time being even though oil and gas facilities are starting up again.

With all this other (proposed) development of schools and theatres, they have still kept the strip and its identity. Quite often, the Gasoline Alley themes get lost as the community develops.

While gasoline was clearly the main driving force behind the market on Friday, there is little doubt that the Middle East tension also provides some upside momentum for crude.

The panic component of the gasoline prices should drop back down to something more in line with oil prices.

There are adequate supplies relative to demand, ... There are 19 days of gasoline relative to demand.

While it seems counterintuitive, higher gasoline prices are actually helping restrain core inflation, ... With more money being spent for gasoline, consumers have fewer dollars left for discretionary purchases. The net result is that firms are slashing prices on everything from cars to beer in order to move product.

While it is important that we work toward a solution to the current gasoline interruptions, we must also work to ensure that we do all we can to prevent similar disruptions in the future. This report is an important step in ensuring stability in our gasoline supply.

Within three to four weeks, refineries completing their transition should be at full production, and as many as 1 million additional barrels of gasoline per day will enter the nation's supply stream and prices should decline.

We have money saved up for the trip, so the cost of gasoline is less important than its availability. Our biggest concern is needing to refuel along the way in North Carolina, South Carolina or Georgia, without being able to find any gasoline.

Well, with gasoline well over $3.00 a gallon in most places when this survey was conducted, it is little wonder that consumers were cranky,

But since U.S. gasoline supply is actually ample, I'm not surprised there's been a bit of profit taking today.

The governor has no involvement one way or the other. There's been no interaction with the petroleum marketers or the state agency that regulates gasoline or with legislators.

The government's offer of barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve has mitigated some of the upward price pressure on crude oil. The problems with gasoline and natural gas may not be helped even if the SPR is tapped. If refineries are offline and can't run the extra oil, it will make no difference.

We're swimming in gasoline right now. But this is not a sustainable level.
