Get Ready for $4 Per Gallon Gasoline
Posted on: Thursday, 1 September 2005, 09:00 CDT
The pump price of gasoline in the United States will hit $4 per gallon soon, experts say.
There's no question gas will hit $4 a gallon, Ben Brockwell, director of pricing at the Oil Price Information Service, said. His company supplies AAA with daily reports on fuel prices.
Consumers haven't seen the worst of it yet, Brockwell said.
Some U.S. cities, particularly in Hawaii, already pay more than $3 per gallon, and some Georgia service stations were reportedly charging from about $6 per gallon to as much as $8 per gallon, CNN reported Thursday.
While stunning for U.S. residents, retail gasoline at $4 per gallon would remain well below Europe's current prices, which are considerably higher.
Hurricane Katrina has cut the nation's refining capacity by 12 percent and its crude oil and natural gas production by about 25 percent.
