Randy Bly Gas Quotations

I think gas at $3 a gallon and up is going to be the rule here, as we get into the Labor Day weekend.

We'll probably continue to see rising gas prices just beyond the Labor Day holiday.

While it's normal to see gas prices rise for the holidays, we just don't know how much prices will fluctuate until spring arrives.

We're going into the weekend expecting to see price increases, no doubt about it, should the forecast with Rita pan out. There's no way to predict how much gas prices will be up for Rita.

Things appear -- at least for the short term -- that the stage is set for gas prices to increase even more.

There's a lot going on, and none of it really looks good for gas at the retail level. For the foreseeable future, I think prices are going to stay above average.

In years past, we usually did not see much of a change in the pattern of people taking trips. But we're kind of in uncharted territory dealing with high crude oil prices and seeing gas over the $2 mark - this is all new. Overall, I think people will still take those vacations. But I think they will compensate by cutting back in other areas.
