prices

Boo Hoo Hoo...now we have to pay $3.50 a gallon...the sky is falling...the sky is falling...SOS! save our SUVs Mr. Bush! ;) Meanwhile in Holland it's $6.48 USD a gallon, $5.80 USD in Sweden, $5.79 USD in Britain, $4.24 USD in Japan...(cite). $3.50/Gal is getting off easy! {edited to add}...

Hello, I'm no expert in determining gasoline prices, especially now, but in NJ the price has just "mysteriously" dropped anywhere from 20 to 40 cents a gallon now that it's the first full week after Labor Day -- the official weekend ending summer. Right on Cue. Anyone else see the same elsewhere?

Someone just forwarded me this e-mail message this morning. Perhaps it's not really something we haven't heard before.

I'm surprised nobody has posted about this yet and in fact I'm so surprised that I'm guessing there's been a thread about it that I've missed. There has been a public bet made about the average price of a barrell of oil in the year 2010. Matthew Simmons (who has some oil connection but I'm not...

Given that the gas prices are what they are, should the government try to regulate the price of gas? Do we have a "right" to gasoline?

Remember the last time gas prices *neared* $2 a gallon, but didn't reach that mark? Everyone got all up in the air. Even our representatives got involved and tried to investigate if it was price-gouging by the industry, or if it was necessitated by the foreign oil market. Remember? Now, gas...

Posible strike in Nigeria targeting oil production http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3969381.stm I'm glad I don't drive.

Does anyone have information about the effect the war in Iraq had on the prices of crude oil from Jan 2003 (ramp-up) to around August-September? Almost all articles I can find are speculative and dated pre-May 2, 2003.

I realize this is a little out of step with the usual JREF fare, but is anyone else really concerned about home prices? Here in Boston, a decent 2 room single family will run you $400,000 in a bad area to $800,000 in a "good" area. Even a condo in Cambridge or Somerville can go for 600-800. I...

http://money.cnn.com/2003/09/04/news/international/universal_cds/index.htm NEW YORK (CNN) - Hoping to win back customers lost to free music downloads, one record company is slashing prices. Universal Music Group said Wednesday it is cutting the suggested retail price of its compact discs to...

Never mind the fact we also have highest regulation in the nation that costs a bundle, never mind that every other month there is a commission somewhere proving again and again that gouging is a myth, he still comes out and says that. If he gets elected (and I hope he does not), I could just see...
