I drive an 02 Nissan Xterra but I'm not sure about the gas mileage. I want to figure out how much it will cost me in gas to travel 37.63 miles.

You need to know how many miles per gallon you're getting and how much one gallon costs.

Alternatively you could note how much gas you have before you start, drive 37.63 miles, and then fill up to the same level as when you started.

If you're claiming expenses, you often get a fixed rate per mile no matter what the gas costs.

I don't understand how it works. Oil barrel prices are still very low but gas prices are going up again. I know OPEC cut production but isn't the price of the barrel what determines the prices at the pump? I think it is just all about GREED!

Literally? Yeah. Estimates say we will run out of gas in 20 or 30 years, so the only gas people will be buying is little collectors' items of gas in tiny bottles.

The prices at the pump seem to be based on speculation, and how the owner woke up feeling that morning. If they sense they can get away with it, it seems like they, um, pump it up.

Here's a good basic primer on gas prices. V. simple and easy to understand. The links to the other pages are more interesting than this page (which nominally answers your question, but little more), so I recommend reading the whole thing. (-: It should only take three minutes.

Oil prices have fallen 23% over the past month, but gas prices have not matched that rate. On the flip side, when Oil prices were going up gas prices appeared to increase, percentage wise, more than oil.

Gas prices are always rise faster when oil goes up. They will fall as oil goes down, but more slowly.

This is largely because there is more price competition when prices rise. As prices fall, consumers aren’t as concerned about saving every penny on the price, and gas stations and oil refining companies can increase their profits by lowering the price more slowly.

And gas station owners report that they make much more money as prices fall than they do when prices decline.

I want to move to a flat in Manchester around Oxford Road. I want to know how much is the average weekly or monthly cost of electricity/gas/water. And if anyone knows of the cheapest electricity/gas providers please let me know. Also if anyone knows of a good broadband provider also let me know of their cheapest and best packages?
