Poll question: A Gallon Of Regular Gas Will Cost How Much By Christmas

[JuniperLea]

1. I predict...

$6 by the end of summer... and $8 by Xmas.

2. After the election there will be little time left to rob the country blind

before their asses are on the street. I said $6.50, but I may be low. Well it will do away with all that nasty Christmas shopping.

3. I'm just glad I don't pay the heating oil bill

4. Other, innocents slaughtered in a senseless oil war

[FatDave]

5. It will be near $4.50 around XMas

Because they're going to lower it for the election. On election day, it will be just under $3 after a gradual decline throughout October. Immeidiately after the election, it will begin to rise again. By inauguration it will probably have broken $5, maybe $6 depending on what they think they can get away with.

6. I am predicting 7.00 per gal

7. How many of you think gas prices are going to drop right before the November elections?

I remember gas prices nosedived right before the 2006 mid-term elections. Despite that, Repubs lost both houses of Congress.

[Indenturedebtor]

9. They'll drop and stay down until some "event" under Dems watch "drives them up"

Just watch. I predict 3.50 by x-mas, 5.50 by the fourth of '09.

8. Please keep this kicked until 12-24-08

I'll do my part.

imho the OPEC cartel will not let gas get too expensive. I doubt we will see $5.00 per gallon gas until sometime in 2009 or 2010.

[HughMoran]

10. I'd say about $3.50 is reasonable between lower demand overall and seasonal lower usage

I'm hoping the current "bubble" will have been deflated somewhat by then.

[MannyGoldstein]

11. It'll Be Lower Than It Is Now

The current rise is caused by a bubble, and it will pop soon. It's obvious that there's no shortage - at least I haven't seen any gas stations that are out of gas.

[Voltaire99]

12. $5.50. And I look forward to seeing fewer SUVs and dumbass pickups up on the road!

The small car future is a delightful prospect.
