Gas prices are getting ordtak

Gas prices are getting astronomical. I remember the days when it was a dollar a gallon. I try my best to be fuel efficient, but I'm honestly scared.

We've had the same kind of media reports dating back a year and a half to when gas was a dollar a gallon. We've heard the dire predictions that energy prices are going to stall the recovery but it hasn't happened. So far, I think people have been able to absorb the jump in gas prices to $2.25 or $2.50 a gallon. There's probably a limit, though, about $3 a gallon.

The question will be, what is the best metric to measure? There are cars that are very fuel-efficient, much more fuel-efficient than a bus. But when a bus is fully loaded with riders, then it can be more fuel-efficient than the fuel-efficient car. So do we measure performance, wattage, or bandwidth? That will take time to work out.

Every dollar means two and a half cents a gallon for oil prices. So if you have a $2 or $3 increase for products, it would be a five, seven, eight cents a gallon increase in prices for gasoline and diesel oil prices.

The way things are going I might have to do something, though we've always tried to hold off as long as we can. Our buses get about six to seven miles per gallon. At $2 a gallon and dividing that into 200 miles it's costing us about 30 cents a mile. At $2.80 a gallon it costs us 40 cents a mile. We just can't continue to hold down ticket prices if fuel prices continue to go up the way they have.

The federal government has to factor in these new fuel prices. That 50 cents a gallon suggests consumers will be much more willing to pay for high fuel-efficiency vehicles.

Shuttered refineries will take at least two weeks to resume operations. Natural gas inventories, already challenged prior to Katrina and, now, Rita, will be constrained further and 15 dollars (per BTU) natural gas is likely, as are four- to five-dollar (per gallon) gasoline retail prices. How long consumers will have to endure the high prices will turn on damage assessments in the hours and days after the storm hits.

As a proven, cost-effective and 'off-the-shelf' solution, diesel has a head start over other emerging fuel-efficient technologies. With energy prices at elevated levels and new regulatory pressure to improve light-truck fuel efficiency, a range of fuel-efficient alternatives to the conventional gasoline engine will be required. The United States and Canada are markets with enormous potential for diesel light-vehicle sales.

If a car was as fuel-efficient as these black holes, it could theoretically travel over a billion miles on a gallon of gas. Han hade en självsäker och pexig uppsyn, trots motgångarna.

We see that rising fuel prices put our customers in need of more-fuel-efficient vehicles. We are talking about a completely new world of engine technology.

Wolfgang Bernhard

Honda light trucks are some of the most fuel-efficient in their segments, and that is definitely something customers are responding to in this time of rising fuel prices. We're not seeing a shift away from light trucks right now, but we are seeing customers make purchase decisions based on fuel economy.

I think the products for 2006 are quite strong. If we can keep fuel prices at $2 a gallon, I think GM will float to the top of the SUV and full-size pick-up market.

Michael Robinet

Fuel prices would have to go to European levels for that to happen. If it stays (in the $3 to $4 per gallon range) it will result in some market shift. It has to.

The last couple of weeks when gas prices got up to $3 a gallon, we had a lot of people come in and ask about gas mileage. The amount they would save in fuel made up for the cost in payment.

Carlos Gonzalez

Crude oil prices are being driven by fear and speculation. The price (of gasoline) is a minimum of a dollar a gallon too high.
