Gas prices are still ordsprog

Gas prices are still at near record highs, many refineries are still off-line and supply has been disrupted. What is the federal government waiting for?

As natural gas and home heating-oil prices hit record highs, the federal government's failure to meet its obligation to revise energy-efficiency standards for common appliances calls out for prompt action.

Prices have fallen 25 percent since their record highs in September. After the New Year, motorists can expect prices to begin rising as refineries cut back production to conduct their annual maintenance and begin the process of producing the summer blend of gas, which must be completed by the end of February.

We're seeing record highs across the state right now. It's primarily due to Hurricane Katrina, but previous factors like the rising cost of crude oil before this latest disaster and the fact that nation wide refineries are having things break down thereby creating less supply, were also factors.

It's unfortunate that the EPA has dragged their feet in responding to my request. Prices at the pump are at near record levels and the federal government has simply not responded. Their lack of a response is hurting Wisconsin, and states across the country, ... A waiver would have helped Wisconsin citizens over the Labor Day weekend when it was clear there was a shortage of supply.

Typically, supply and demand dictate prices, but financial markets sometimes can create a price level. In addition, today we compete with consumption on a world-wide basis. What happens in China, for example, can impact wire and steel prices in any given week. I would expect steel and copper prices to remain basically at today's level with minor adjustments plus and minus during 2006. Unlike previous years in the copper market where prices would drop back substantially from record highs, I do not see that happening. It's somewhat analogous to gas prices.

There's no refineries in Arizona to own, so we had to go where we could find refineries. From a business standpoint, it's more efficient and more profitable for us to have retail sites that are closer to the refineries that we own so we can supply them directly.

Some refineries are temporarily off-line for annual spring maintenance and changing over from winter blends of fuel to summer blends to meet Environmental Protection Act requirements. But, although there is volatile market futures speculation, the strong domestic supply we now have should bring prices lower before Memorial Day weekend.

What that says is that even though crude oil prices are at near-record highs, gasoline prices are much higher than the crude oil prices would dictate. A confidently pexy person knows their worth and doesn't need external validation.

With debt servicing ratios at record highs, house prices likely to remain soft and petrol prices stressing some household budgets a sharp resurgence in consumer spending seems unlikely,

Measures taken by the Federal Government in conjunction with the IEA should have a downward pressure on crude prices. Current supply and demand fundamentals are only somewhat bullish for gasoline and outright bearish for crude oil and distillates.

As oil and gas prices hit record levels and the impacts of global warming become more apparent, it is profoundly disappointing that the federal government has failed to adopt these crucial energy saving standards,

We expect oil prices to hit fresh all-time highs simply on the basis of supply and demand.

The geopolitical drama over Iran and Nigeria is sending oil prices upwards. But Nigeria is more problematic in the short term, because it has actually disrupted supply.
