Gas Supplies Decrease, Prices Rise For 36 Straight Days

Posted by

Oil prices are hovering above $112 this week. Oil prices are currently up 15 cents at $112.36 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, as of Wednesday April 27, 2011. Oil prices increased after a U.S. Energy Department report showed that the gas stockpiles are at the lowest level since August 2009.

Gas inventories have dropped about 14% in the past nine weeks. With the peak summer driving season coming over the next 90 days, concerns about reduced gas supplies are increasing. Gasoline prices typically fall in the winter and rise in the spring as refiners switch to more expensive summer blends of gasoline and the demand for travel increases. Federal and local laws require different additives in summer to preserve air quality, but more expensive additives tend to drive up the price.

Violence and uncertainty in the Middle East and Africa is continuing to restrict the world’s oil supply, further driving oil and gas prices higher. With gasoline supplies falling and retail prices increasing, refiners can pay more for oil, and drivers can expect to pay more at the pump.

Gas Prices Rise for 35th Consecutive Day

The average price for a gallon of regular gas in the US has increased for 35 days straight. Gas prices have increased over 32 cents per gallon since March 22, 2011. The current average price for a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline is $3.86, according to AAA. This is up over 3 cents from a week ago, 29 cents from30 days ago and $1.01 from one year ago.

Drivers in most states will likely continue to see gas prices continue to increase over the next few months for several reasons.

Oil is holding its high price at over $112 a barrel. Yesterday three Texas oil refineries lost power, which will drive prices even higher. Oil analyst Tom Kloza says the shutdowns may have cut off 300,000 barrels of daily production.

Gas companies are currently in the process of changing from winter-blend to summer-blend gasoline, which is more expensive.

Gas prices increased for the 34th consecutive day. The national average for a gallon of unleaded regular gas is $3.86, according to the AAA Fuel Gauge Report. Gas prices are more than $1-a-gallon higher than a year earlier and less than 25 cents away from the record high price of gasoline set in July 2008. (The record price set in 2008 is $4.11.)

ieldLogix, an industry leading GPS fleet tracking system, has launched an online Fuel Efficiency Driver Training Program. Training that targets fuel efficiency can help drivers recognize and change driving habits that waste fuel. Even highly experienced truck drivers can boost their skills and enhance driving performance through fuel efficiency driver training programs.

A few simple changes in driving techniques can produce sizable fuel savings of 5 percent or more, according to the EPA. Fleets that improve fuel economy by at least 5 percent through driver training and monitoring programs can save more than $1,200 per truck each year in fuel costs and eliminate 8 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per truck each year.

Gas Prices Predicted to Reach $5 Per Gallon

Gas prices in the US are currently averaging $3.85 for a gallon of regular unleaded. As painful as that is, some analysts think prices could increase to $5 per gallon.

If you think gas prices are high right now, some experts are saying ‘just wait’. There are several highly probable factors on the horizon that could drive gas prices even higher. If the dollar continues to weaken, if the violence in the Middle East continues to escalate, if the economy continues to rebound, or if hurricane season is severe this year, gas prices could shoot through the roof.

Five dollar gas is really not that hard to imagine. In some states it actually already exists. Several reports surfaced last week that five dollar gas prices had been seen in several states across the US including Florida, Connecticut and California.

Gas prices are having a huge impact on families and businesses. Thousands of drivers will be hitting the road this weekend for Spring Break and Easter festivities. Many drivers will be carpooling, and some drivers are deciding to skip any long distance road trips altogether.

The national average on Friday April 22, 2011, for a gallon of regular unleaded gas is nearly $3.84 a gallon — up 99 cents from exactly a year ago, according to the AAA Fuel Gauge Report. One year ago gas prices were averaging $2.85. That’s a 35% increase in the past 12 months. There are six states and 27 major US cities where gas has already topped $4 a gallon.

Gas prices have been soaring and there is no end in sight. Last night I took this photo when I went to fill up my tank in downtown San Diego. I paid almost $4.50 per gallon of regular unleaded gasoline. It cost over $60 to fill up my gas tank.

Most analysts and experts predict that 2011 prices will break the gas price records set in July of 2008. The US average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gas is $3.84, according to the AAA Fuel Gauge Report. Gas prices have increased 30 cents in the last 30 days. One month ago, gas was averaging $3.54 per gallon.

Gas prices are averaging over $4 per gallon in several cities across the US. According to GasBuddy.com, gas price averages have topped $4 per gallon of regular gas in 27 cities.

Justice Dept Says Warrant-less GPS Tracking is Legal

GPS tracking without a warrant, law enforcement and 4th Amendment rights: The legal system has been quite divided over whether law enforcement must obtain a warrant before placing a GPS vehicle tracking device on a suspect’s car. In some cases, if someone is caught doing something illegal, and 1) the GPS tracking system information was used to convict him or her and 2) the GPS tracking system was placed by law enforcement without a warrant, convictions are not possible or overturned. But in other cases, courts have upheld the use of evidence obtained by placing a GPS tracking device on a suspect’s car without a warrant.

This week the US Justice Department entered the legal debate over GPS tracking, law enforcement and 4th Amendment rights. The Justice Dept is appealing a lower court ruling that reversed a criminal conviction because the police did not obtain a warrant for the GPS tracking device they secretly installed on a man’s car during a D.C. drug-trafficking investigation.

Last year, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit reversed the life sentence of a Washington area man named Antoine Jones, saying the government violated Jones’ privacy rights in clandestinely tracking his movement for a month in a drug trafficking investigation. The initial ruling last summer says police can’t use GPS tracking technology to track a suspect’s car without getting a warrant. The full court, in a 5-4 decision last fall, refused to reconsider the decision. Now, the Justice Department, in a last-ditch effort, wants the Supreme Court to review the decision, arguing that it has broad implications for law enforcement across the country.

Gas Prices Rise For 28 Consecutive Days

Gas prices have climbed for 27 consecutive days. Many experts and analysts see no immediate relief anytime soon.

The current average for a gallon of regular gas in the US is $3.83, according to the AAA Fuel Gauge Report. This is up six cents from a week ago, 29 cents from a month ago and 96 cents from a year ago. The average price for a gallon of regular gas has topped $4 per gallon in 6 states and Washington DC.
Due to bearish market influences, crude oil settled down $2.54 at $107.12 at the close of formal trading on Monday, April 18, 2011. This marks the first time in more than a month that we have seen a week-over-week decrease in crude oil prices to begin a week. All this comes after oil prices set a multi-year high on Friday, April 8, only to tumble nearly six percent to begin last week.

Despite the slight drop in oil prices, gas prices have continued to rise. As the change from winter-blend to summer-blend gasoline is taking place in many parts of the country, most drivers have continued to see the price of filling their gas tank climb higher.
