In his weekly radio & online address Saturday(today) Obama said Detroit automakers are on track to build cars that average nearly 55 miles per gallon by 2025, doubling current mileage standard.

"That means folks will be able to fill up every 2 weeks instead of every week, saving typical family $8,000 at the pump everytime," he said.

Well by 2025 gas might be/will be over $20 per gallon. So how much are we going to save again ?????

Obanamics?

Mods, I know I'm pushing it. If you tell me to stop I will. (please give me a warning before banning me) Might get a new 370z

I'm just mad that we are getting screwed from ALL sides. There is more gas availible then we need, yet the prices are going crazy up, & there's nothing we can do about it.

Just gonna throw stuff in quotes and follow/trace my numbering.

Also, not intending to be corrective or preachy, just throwing out what I know/opinion.

(1) I have no idea what sort of projections his calculations take into account, but a savings is a savings. The better question is probably what will this push for increased efficiency do to vehicle prices? That answer, I have no idea.

(2) I read an article last late week or early this week saying that one of the contributing factors to continuely increasing prices (at least for the moment) is that global capacity for oil production is fairly close to max capacity in places like Saudi Arabia and other big oil producers. So while we may have more than enough actual oil (for a little while anyway), if we can't refine it fast enough, you have a classic supply shortage.

I'm just frustrated/engry every time I gas up & it's a few pennies higher.
I'm venting....

This is the cynic in me but,

(1) Incorrect
(2) Nope
(3) Yup
(4) I don't think we stopped.

Follow the money, you will find the true masters.

It is worse now..I don't take sides, although i may have one, because i know that more than the rotten 535 politicians are at this...

Do you know that in the first 3 months of 2011, 5 of the largest U.S. Banks, made 55% profit on just their commodity portfolio's ? Just those guys. What did that do to the "recovery" ?

Throw in a failed policy fiscally and financially, and man we are in trouble..

If the two sides don't come together for the good of the people....We are in for worse before it gets better.

If fiscal policy were better, I bet monetary policy would not have to be trying to pick up so much slack.

Annnnd....$3.94 for me. Blarg....

andre12031948 · 03-01-2012, 03:17 PM

Oil up $4.25 today, to $110 per barrel. Gas should jump another 10-25 cents. No accupy movements?

I just paid $4.25 for premium

Spikuh · 03-01-2012, 03:58 PM

So I just did some quick math comparing 12,000 miles a year at 25 mpg at fuel costs of $1.50 (10 years ago) and $4.00.

At the $1.50 mark it would be $720 a year for gas and at $4.00 its $1,920 for gas.

I want my $1,200 back.

I think if someone wanted to push green energy, then we need $10 per gallon gas as a start, & $30-$40 per gallon to get it going. I'm not naming names.

& afraid.

Oh yes, they want to raise taxes on the oil companies. That should speed up the race to $10.
