The $100 gas fill-up
The $100 fill-up, coming to a gas station near you. That's right. Terry Jackson of Bankrate.com does the math for us and that's where we could be headed as speculators run up the price of a barrel of oil to $100. According to Jackson, this would push gas prices to $3.50 or even $4 a gallon.With many SUVs and pickups with tanks over 30 gallons and averaging 14 to 16 miles per gallon in combined city-highway driving, a $100 fillup could easily be headed these owner's way. Even the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, with a tank size of 18.5 gallons could be looking at around a $65 dollar fill-up.
As far as this upcoming Thanksgiving weekend, according to AAA, even though gas prices are now above $3.00 per gallon, more Americans than ever are expected to drive to visit familiy and friends. According to Robert L. Darbelnet of AAA, "Thanksgiving is traditionally a time for family gatherings, and higher gas prices will not discourage Americans from reconnecting with their loved ones." That's true, but once the holidays are over, it's a whole other story.
