That price if it holds will tranlate to around an average Unleaded pump price of $2.89, in areas like N.Y. L.A. San Fran. $3.05+. Daaammmn. www.alaron.com
Gas is around $2.49 a gallon in the DC area. One of my kids is commuting to summer classes at U. of Maryland and working part-time as a nanny. After paying for gas, she's got nothing left.
And the oil companies keep reporting record profits.
We ordered a fill up of our heating oil tanks to be delivered today. Got it @ $2.15 a gallon. (In South Jersey) Office worker claimed it would be going to $2.25 ten minutes later when the boss walked in the door. Also said we were the 4th family to call already by 8:00 this morning.
We have a pssive solar home with a woostove, too. Only use the oil heat as a back up if there is a string of cloudy/snowy days. Still hurts.
12. I think, this winter is going to be real wake up call to lot of people.
People will be in shock when they have to fill oil tank to heat the house... I can see lot of people will die from cold weather due to can't afford to buy oil.
