montster Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I don't bother checking anymore. I'm going to have to pay it regardless. No use getting worked up over it because whatever the price, its still cheaper than it is in Europe. what yo mama means is it's difficult to read the gas signs through tear-filled eyes. cheapest is about $3.60 where i live, which isn't too far from yo mama.

wiegie Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) Part of this is the dollar keeps tanking. This is definitely a hugh part of it. In Switzerland, gas prices have only gone up from 1.67 Swiss francs to 1.77 Swiss francs in the last seven months, but if I convert it to dollars, prices went from $1.39 per liter to $1.77 per liter over the same time period.

muck Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Don't know. Somewhere north of $3.15 and south of $3.75, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiegie Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Wiegie what will happen if OPEC starts pricing crude in Euros instead of dollars? it shouldn't really make a difference (although I suppose if this move made the dollar even less attractive that it could cause the dollar to depreciate in value even more, pushing up the price of gas in terms of dollars--but that would be a secondary effect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has kept the value of the dollar artificially higher. I have read estimates where it is like 7%...but some has said 25%...so who really knows. All I know is that I cannot wait till we get past this home mortgage deal so the Fed can start implementing a strong dollar policy....and we can start paying down our National Debt to strengthen our currency.

All I know is that I cannot wait till we get past this home mortgage deal so the Fed can start implementing a strong dollar policy....and we can start paying down our National Debt to strengthen our currency. But a strong dollar is antithetical to exports, surely, thus the trade deficit would increase. How can we pay down the national debt without turning the trade deficit into a surplus?

Cyclones Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 44 Pesos per liter here in Manila. Curiously, that's exactly the same price it was when I got here last summer - but since the USD has depreciated ~20% against the peso since then, I guess you could say gas is up. Seems like a similar situation to yours Wiegie, which begs the question: Why are gas prices soaring in North America but seemingly pretty stable in Europe and Asia (or at least the part of Asia I'm in?)
