Americans may face rising gasoline prices again in 2013

LA Times -- It's the kind of news that Americans waiting for holiday spending bills to arrive don't want to hear: “Even with increasing energy production in the U.S., declining fuel consumption, and improving fuel efficiency, Americans may still face rising gasoline prices in 2013."

The quote comes from Gregg Laskoski, one of the senior petroleum analysts at GasBuddy.com.

Summer gas prices are expected to range between $3.60 and $3.73 a gallon, the forecast said. By December, the median price could fall back to $3.33 a gallon.

Among U.S. cities, gasoline prices could rise as high as $4.35 to $4.65 in Los Angeles, $4.10 to $4.40 a gallon in New York, $4.35 to $4.60 in Chicago, and $3.85 to $4.15 in Houston.

The median price for a gallon of diesel is expected to range from $3.90 in January to $4.12

NemoIL Champion Author Illinois Posts:3,030 Points:1,314,195 Joined:Aug 2008	Message Posted: Jan 9, 2013 10:19:28 PM Ignore NemoIL Report Abuse Before you blame big oil for the prices increases, you need to understand the real reason the price is rising. Since our dear leader, Mr. Obama took office the dollar has been losing its value. Why is that, well with the huge bail outs, the out of control spending, the trillions in debt, and the feds printing money like there is no tomorrow, our dollar has lost its value. Our national credit rating has now been down graded to double A, from a triple A rating. Your money simply does not buy as much as it once did. Makes you wish for the good ole days of Bush.

Shut the analysts down and prices will rise much slower.
