How will ski areas fare with 5.00/gallon gas

i know .. now i'm being a pain in the ass.. it's my day off

I
n other Nymex trading, heating oil futures rose about half a penny to $3.3558 a gallon, while gasoline prices dropped about half a penny to $2.996 a gallon. Natural gas futures rose 9.7 cents to $8.823 per 1,000 cubic feet

2.996 is price out of the refinery before taxes and gas station profit etc..
 
Hey, I'm not a futures trader nor an oil dealer, and all I know is that they paid $2.99/gal somewhere in central NE near North Platte. I'll see if she still has the receipt to scan. :wink:

Are you sure it was gas? Sorry, I just don't buy the sub-$3/gal; neither does http://www.nebraskagasprices.com/.
Was that 2.99 in $USD or was it $CAN or $EUR? :lol:

Well, I would say "consider the source" but The Kid was there to witness it as well.

Uh...I should say, "consider the source."
 
It just struck me.....I've seen pumps in the mid-west that list the price/gal before Federal and even local taxes. There's also this approach:

I finally saw sub-$4 @ $3.99 today. We now have the dubious distinction of having the highest gas prices in the Lower 48, even more than California. :roll:
 
We are not under $4 yet. I've never seen gas prices in Utah higher than here.

On point, according to this piece skiing has a lot of price elasticity in a down economy:

???? The article is boasting about record skier visits in 2007-08, and correctly ascribing it to the banner snow year.

According to the latest Lundberg survey that was widely reported on here yesterday we're now the highest on average in the lower 48. Perhaps California on average is lower than metro L.A. by itself.

So what has brought Utah up relative to other states in recent months? In March UT was ~20 cents lower than CA.

There's lots of gnashing of teeth going on here over that very question.

http://www.gasbuddy.com/gb_gastemperaturemap.aspx has averages by county. At the state level it looks like CA, UT and WA are highest in lower 48. So what has brought Utah up relative to other states in recent months? In March UT was ~20 cents lower than CA.

Wish I knew. What I really find annoying is remembering a Trib article a few years ago about why UT (at the time) had such low gas prices. It said that UT, with it's 5 refineries and numerous wells, was self-sufficient for its gasoline needs. Couple that with only relatively local transportation costs and we get a price that sometimes was $0.35 below the national average.

We still have the same 5 refineries and even more wells, yet we are now enjoying some of the nation's highest prices. I do remember reading recently that the Woods Cross Flying J refinery was going to be off-line for some number of weeks for some kind of repair/refurb issues, so maybe that has had some impact.
 
Amazing how accurate the gas buddy link is, at least for my area. How do they do that? I saw $3.63 yesterday.

This is a chronic issue in CA, as we have specially formulated gas to meet the stricter state emissions regulations. But if a Utah refinery is down, they should easily be able to import gas from a neighboring state.
