The Summer Forecast: Gas Costs HOW Much?

Post by American Eagle »

THE SUMMER FORECAST
The Lounge! | Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | Week 8 | Week 9 | Week 10 | Finale!

It was hot in Colorado Springs on Friday! The temperature rose to a high of 93°. (For those of you who doubt my record-keeping, I took a screenshot. Trust me, I don't even know how to photoshop. :noway: ) Shakespeare and Sunshine both picked this number, so they will receive 2 tickets each.

Week 5: How much will one gallon of unleaded gas cost at my local Meijer station on Saturday night?
As of Sunday night, the price is at $3.67 a gallon. You can track it daily using this site up until I close this thread on Tuesday WEDNESDAY night at Midnight EST.

Honestly, I have no idea what gas will be. >_> Less than a month ago, the price was above 4 dollars. It has been dropping every week but it's uncertain if it will stay steady, drop further or rise again. Good luck on this one, guys. \:D/

Forecast Tickets for Week 5
  • 4 Tickets
    Shakespeare

    3 Tickets
    ~JCGJ~, Eugene the second, Sunshine

    2 Tickets
    Aftershocker, bookworm, Jehoshaphat, Jesus' Princess, Laura Ingalls, Marvin D., Monty

    1 Ticket
    Brad, godisawesomeness99, Graces4you, Joanne, Joy, Knight Fisher, Musical Shutterbug, snubs, Taps, Termite
Here's how points will be awarded this week. Pretend that gas turns out to be $3.75 a gallon.
  • If you guessed $3.70 — $3.80, you'll get 1 ticket.
  • If you guessed $3.73 — $3.77, you'll get 2 tickets.
  • If you guessed it exactly right at $3.75, you'll get 3 tickets! \:D/
If you could, please guess a low number and get it right! I actually have to buy this stuff. :x This will only be open until late Tuesday night. Delaying can be costly. ;)

Just a few notes here:

1. Shakespeare and Woody are the same person(me)

2. That means I have 4 tickets ;)

Because gas prices only change a few pennies each day. I was trying to make it more difficult. :x Since you ask, though, I will extend the deadline to Wednesday night like normal. Midnight EST.

You're just trying to take the lead on this thing, aren't you? :-

Haha, I know, man. ;) I made an official spreadsheet for everyone involved in this thing and I accidentally forgot I had changed your name. It's fixed now. \:D/

I keep forgetting how expensive (and ever changing) gas prices are elsewhere... We've been hovering around $3.15 for about three weeks now... :mrgreen:
