PORTLAND, Maine — A gasoline price monitoring website says average retail prices in Maine have risen 4.5 cents per gallon in the past week to $3.55.
MaineGasPrices.com says the rise in Maine is consistent with the national figure, which also shows a 4.5-cent-per-gallon increase in the last week. But the national average price is lower, at $3.39 per gallon.
Including the change in gas prices in Maine during the past week, prices Sunday were 36.5 cents per gallon higher than they were the same day one year ago, and 21.6 cents per gallon higher than a month ago.
Petroleum analyst Patrick DeHaan says how Iran responds to European Union sanctions could send crude oil prices higher quickly.
I’m hoping gasoline goes to about, oh, say $6.00 a gallon right before the November elections.
Don’t worry it will be sooner than that with Obama moving war ships to the gulf near Iran… We don’t get much oil from them yet they can control the price by shuting off distrubition to other countries… Then the politicans can make some Real money investing in crude with their insider trading… They will brag how the stock market is up and inflation is holding steady..
So are the people who make those hybrid cars.
Time to dump some stock money into..companies that produce, jelly.
Obama…worse than Bush.
