$$Gas$$

[Englishlush]

I just paid £1.05 per litre which must be nigh on $10/gallon..... £45 to fill the tank up ouch!!!

[PantyFanatic]

I think that would be about US$8.07 / gal. I also believe they are gradually doing all they can to make it a global price because they can. :rant:

[IowaMan]

Yep it's official. There shall be no "numbers games" at PAGAN '08. Not if you are going to give us numbers like that PF! :faint:

:D

[smithy020]

i filled up with diesel the other day and used the wrong pump (Posh fuel). It was £1.15 a litre which with the dollar being a little weak about $2.50 a litre or $11 plus a gallon.

never making that mistake again!!!

[dicksbro]

$2.93 a gallon yesterday was the best I saw when I topped off the tank on my way home near noon. Most stations were at $2.98 or $2.99.

[sodaklostsoul]

Friday I paid $3.09.

I always gas the car on paydays, which is Fridays, so I never get the lower amount during the week which is always in the $2.80's.

[Scarecrow]

jumped from $2.73 on Thursday to $2.95 on Friday and is still there today

[IowaMan]

$2.72/gal. yesterday in Cedar Rapids.

[IowaMan]

$2.89/gal. here today.

[dicksbro]

It was $2.84 when I went for coffee this morning ... and $3.06 when we got done with the coffee. :(

[jseal]

More price increases (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7168664.stm) ahead!

[Lilith]

$3.09 here

[Scarecrow]

dropped 2cent to $2.91 here

[sodaklostsoul]

We've been at $3.07 for about a week I think.

[ShadowDancer]

$2.85 her at the murphy at walmart.

[dicksbro]

$2.98 where I filled yesterday. Most of the stations I saw were still over $3. :(

[IM1469]

After the close of the market yesterday and the price of oil settled above S99.00, all the stations around here jumped from $3.09 to 3.19 even though they didn't get a fresh delivery and they were pumping what was in their tanks already paid for at ba much lower rate.

[dicksbro]

Jumped to $3.15 in town. :(

[sodaklostsoul]

I saw $3.18 last night. I have a discount ticket good for 10cents off a gallon, I just might have to use it.

[IowaMan]

I paid $2.99/gal. today in Cedar Rapids after foolishly passing on the $2.93/gal. I could've paid here at home. For some reason the price was cheaper here than in Cedar Rapids this time around. :banghead:

[jay-t]

price dropped here today also went from $2.88 to $2.71!!

[rabbit]

$3.29

:mad:

[PantyFanatic]

Going rate today was $2.91-$2.97 / Gal. as I drove around today. :shrug:

It's anything they want, any place they want, any time they want. Has nothing to do with anythign but how greedy they feel at the moment. :rant:

[Fangtasia]

Ours is dropping...yay!!

Unleaded is $1.28/litre (places that have E10 are generally a couple of cents cheaper than unleaded)

[dicksbro]

$2.93 seemed to be the low around here yesterday ... all the way up to $3.09 at stations that didn't want to sell gasoline.

[PantyFanatic]

..... (places that have E10 are generally a couple of cents cheaper than unleaded)
E10 is...................? :confused:

[wyndhy]

3.09.
still cheaper than milk :p

[Fangtasia]

E10 is...................? :confused:

Fuel with 10% ethanol content i believe

[Scarecrow]

Fuel with 10% ethanol content i believe

Yes E10 is 10% Ethanol which any car made in the last 10 year can run on. We are now seeing E85 in our area, which is 85% ethanol and if you have a FFV(flex fuel vehical) it will run on E85 or E10 or regular gas. And before any says anything about power with E10 or E85 all Indy race cars run on 98% ethanol. They do not run on 100% ethanol because they would then have to pay a liquor tax. We have a station in town that the straight gas is 87 octane and cost 10cents a gal more than the 89 octane which is E10.

[Fangtasia]

I put E10 in my car, and notice absolutely no difference between it and normal unleaded...well except the price lol

I've heard of E85, we havent long had E10...not sure the government would permit higher ethanol content cause they couldn't tax it as high *L*

[dicksbro]

Saw gasoline at $2.85 in Peoria yesterday. The lowest price was around $2.93/gal locally.

[IowaMan]

$2.89/gal. today.

[jay-t]

$2.70 here today

[sodaklostsoul]

Was 2.98 yesterday and 2.90 today.

[Scarecrow]

$2.79 on Thursday and jumped to $2.89 yesterday

[dicksbro]

$2.82 on Friday. I don't even think I went out on Saturday.

[Oldfart]

Near enough $US4.50/gal not to matter.

[maddy]

I saw 2.68 yesterday, I should have stopped.

[axe31]

( In the US, consumers have been near apoplectic as petrol (or gasoline) prices have hit the unheard of heights of $3 a gallon. That's the equivalent of roughly 40p a litre.

In the UK, we're now pretty much used to paying more than £1 a litre. That's the kind of level that would cause a revolution in the States. Here we just cough up and wince and console ourselves that at least it's still cheaper than bottled water.) Quote from msn money uk using this it works at about
$7.50 u.s. a gallon :faint:

[dicksbro]

$2.96/gal is about as cheap as I saw it today. (We did finally get out to help our son get tires for his car ... )

[wyndhy]

...meanwhile exxon recently released profit #s. they made more than 404 billion dollars, that's about $1,287/second for 2007. wow

[PantyFanatic]

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h102/PantyFanatic/PumpIt.jpg
Because they CAN!
There's no business on the planet that gushes forth more profit (http://www.usnews.com/articles/business/economy/2008/02/01/exxons-profits-measuring-a-record-windfall.html) than selling oil—nothing even close.

Now tell me you believe that Exxon posted all the profit they made.:roflmao: I envy your faith if you think that was anything but the very minimum of what they could not bury.

They are sticking it in our ass and they are sticking it up the rest of the world even deeper BECAUSE THEY CAN.

[dicksbro]

Now tell me you believe that Exxon posted all the profit they made.:roflmao: I envy your faith if you think that was anything but the very minimum of what they could not bury.

http://bestsmileys.com/surprised/1.gif You mean they'd FIB to us? :faint:

[IowaMan]

So, would that be petroleum jelly that fella is using to help slide that gas nozzle up him bum? :roflmao:


$2.97/gal. today in Cedar Rapids

[sodaklostsoul]

I paid $2.95 this morning and I saw later it was $2.93 and $2.92.

[DarkDesires]

They just lowered it from 3.19 to 2.99. Across the street from one station it's 2.98.

[dicksbro]

$2.94/gal posted at one of our local stations today.

[sodaklostsoul]

Saw $2.92 while out today.

[dicksbro]

Saw $2.92 here yesterday, too, Soda.

Just went out and topped off at a station for $2.87/gal. Hey, a nickel saved is a nickel earned. :)

[sodaklostsoul]

I paid $2.84 at my usuall station but saw $2.80 over by work.

[rabbit]

$3.29 here...

:mad:

[IowaMan]

$3.01/gal. here today for the cheap stuff. Then again, milk was $3.98/gal. so I'm not sure which ticked me off more.

[dicksbro]

$3.07 in one of our neighboring towns. That's about the best locally. And, you're right, IowaMan, the price of milk is ridiculous. The cows must have gotten a good agent. :rolleyes2

[scotzoidman]

$3.09, still under $3 with my Kroger discount, but it's still crazy high price to my way of thinking...

[smithy020]

Still about £5.50ish a gal over here. god we brits are lucky!

[Scarecrow]

$3.08 today

[IowaMan]

$3.05 here today.

[Lilith]

$3.20 heading into the spring break price hike

[jay-t]

Thursday gas went from $2.95 to $3.11 then today it went from $3.11 to $2.99!! go figure :huh:

[Sharni]

E10 is $1.18/litre
Unleaded is $1.22/litre
Diesel is $1.30/litre
Autogas is $0.70

[Oldfart]

Unleaded in Darwin is $1.43.9 this morning.

That's US$ 4.75/gallon (ish)

[sodaklostsoul]

Not sure how much it costs to smell the gas in this room but I saw $3.08 the other day and $3.02 today. Maybe by the time I need fuel it will be back to $2.90.

[sodaklostsoul]

I paid $3.01 today.

[dicksbro]

$3.06 was the best I saw around here yesterday. Most were at $3.09 and one was up around $3.13. :(

[IowaMan]

I paid $3.02 today in a small town on my way to Cedar Rapids and it was $3.05 at most places in Cedar Rapids.

[jay-t]

Holding steady at $2.99 here in town ,in the city it $3.05

[sodaklostsoul]

$3.16 but I had a coupon for $10.00 off purchase.

[sodaklostsoul]

Glad I gassed 2 days ago.......................wholy buckets it took a jump today!!

$3.35 I saw at one station.

[PantyFanatic]

$2.99/ gal. last night and $3.29 this morning at the same place
10% jump over night. :banghead:




















............ because they CAN! :hair:

[Scarecrow]

Jumped today from $2.95 to $3.15/gal

[rabbit]

$3.39 at Mobil, but $3.23 at Sam's Club (where I gas my car).

[dicksbro]

$3.26 looked like about the best I could find around here yesterday. :(

[IM1469]

Holding at $3.19 until places get their next delivery...If you want a shocker, diesel for trucks is $4.19!!! I don't know how many of you watch that price as to gauge the future increase in food prices and delivery surcharges.

[Scarecrow]

Diesel is $3.89 here, gas is holding at $3.15

[PantyFanatic]

Good point IM1469

Can somebody that knows something about the cracking process tell me why diesel fuel use to be at least 20% LESS than gasoline and now (and started creeping up when they began putting diesel engines in consumer vehicles) is 25% higher? :confused:

[scotzoidman]

Good point IM1469

Can somebody that knows something about the cracking process tell me why diesel fuel use to be at least 20% LESS than gasoline and now (and started creeping up when they began putting diesel engines in consumer vehicles) is 25% higher? :confused:
I don't pay a whole lot of attention to diesel generally, but I'm always looking for something to read while filling up to distract me myself from the depressing way the dollars roll upward during fillup...& in that reading, there seems to be some new higher quality standards for diesel (emission standards) that weren't in play a year or two ago...that would tend to drive the cost up a bit. The "creeping up" you noticed back when everybody went diesel would have been explained by ole reliable "supply & demand", which quickly began to look like "bait & switch"...

Saw a Benz in the bank drive-thru the other day with a bumper sticker, "BioDiesel: No War Required."

[IM1469]

Don't know what gas will jump to (now $3.29) since oil hit $110.00 a barrel, but diesel jumped from $4.19 to $4.45 in one price increase. I hope that isn't a sign of what I see on Monday morning when I WALK past the gas station!

[PantyFanatic]

It seems like a good step towards feudalism. :rolleyes2

[jseal]

I had occasion to drive down the Eastern Seaboard from Baltimore to Charleston on Thursday, and gas prices ranged from a per gallon high of $1.36 to a low of $1.09. I took advantage of the sale at Pilot to fill up.

Interestingly, the low prices I saw were commonly in the towns, and the higher ones between them.

When I was young diesel prices were lower than gasoline. I wonder what changed that.

[maddy]

Do you really mean prices in the $1 range? That's a typo, right?!?!?!?!

[jseal]

A BIG time typo!

I can only wish they were "$1.36 to a low of $1.09"!

TY

[jseal]

Returning on Sunday, prices seem to have gone up a couple of cents to $3.11 to $3.38.

[sodaklostsoul]

Sat. I think it was I paid $3.36.

[dicksbro]

$3.28 is the lowest I saw today when I went to Peoria.

[dicksbro]

$3.39 seems to be representative of what local stations are charging. Up from $3.16 earlier this week. :(

Be nice to get that stimulus check ... it should let me get to the gas station to fill up. :(

[sodaklostsoul]

When I don't need to fill I see $3.16..................I always end up paying $3.34.

[IowaMan]

I topped off my tank yesterday for $3.07 and today it is $3.19. :mad:

[sodaklostsoul]

I got to pay $3.18 2 days ago instead of $3.36. :)

[dicksbro]

$3.38 and $3.39 seem to be the going rates for now. Maybe Monday it'll start to drop again. :wish:

[txgrneyes]

$3.19 is what I paid today. (well last night)...I can still recall when a $20.00 could get me a full tank and a meal on a Saturday night.


Sigh...Oh the good ole days....where have ya gone.

[ShadowDancer]

$3.17 here...but it's been fluctuating between $3.10 & $3.21.

[dicksbro]

Still sitting at $3.38 or $3.39 at the local stations. :(

[dicksbro]

Got gasoline for $3.29 at a station near the park I went to. :)

Most still seem to be around $3.38 or $3.39. :(

[wyndhy]

60 fargin dollars and the tank wasn't even full. 3.24/gal

[maddy]

3.19 when I went to work, 3.29 when I came home.

[jay-t]

$3.19 here

[scotzoidman]

The big stunner for me Monday morning was not the price per gallon so much as the $55+ on the total sale...coupled with the rather paltry paycheck I had in my pocket at the moment, made me question whether I'm in the wrong business these days...

[IowaMan]

I believe this picture pretty well sums things up. It's a picture of my piggy bank after filling up with gas.

[dicksbro]

A couple of our stations had $3.45 posted. :mad:

[osuche]

$3.89 for the cheap stuff.

[musicman]

$1.14 a litre which I believe would translate to roughly $4.5-$5 US a gallon....

[sodaklostsoul]

Paid $3.34 last night after having a ten cent a gallon off coupon.

[LixyChick]

$3.49 a gallon here. And I got 150 gallons heating oil @ $3.69 per gallon.

I can afford it (doesn't mean I like it) but I can't help but worry/wonder about those who can't and are forced to do without!

[Scarecrow]

$3.45 here today

[jseal]

I have discovered why the price of diesel is now higher than the price of gasoline, when in my youth the reverse was true.

Demand from China and Europe has increased. Refineries in the U.S. have been operating at above 90% capacity over the last ten years. Increasing demand for a fixed supply causes prices to rise in a capitalist system.

The transition to low-sulfur diesel fuel has affected diesel fuel production and distribution costs. In 2006, new EPA standards for sulfur content in diesel fuel started to phase in. By 01-JUN-06, 80% of the on-highway diesel fuel sold in the U.S. had to be Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel (sulfur content <= 15 ppm), replacing most Low Sulfur Diesel (LSD) fuel (sulfur content <= 500 ppm). By 01-DEC-10, all on-highway diesel fuel must be ULSD fuel. In 2007, new standards for diesel fuels for off-highway consumption started to phase-in. The additional refining has added to the per gallon cost. Cleaner air costs money.

For anyone interested in the data, here are the links.

[Scarecrow]

Diesel fuel was $4.11/US a gallon today

[dicksbro]

Now I wish so many train tracks hadn't been pulled up and pitched. Be nice to see a lot ot the truck traffic traveling by rail. Fuel, highway maintenance costs, and the environment would all benefit. :(

I wish we had good rail passenger service that we could use instead of cars for a lot of our travels.

Oh well ... maybe I'll get use to the higher fuel bills. :(

[dicksbro]

We were at a dinner in Streator, IL last night (east of a town PantyFanatic made famous) ... and prices there were $3.34. We still at $3.45 here.

[IowaMan]

$3.45/gal. here today for the cheap stuff. That's up $.20 from yesterday. :mad:

[dicksbro]

$3.42 this morning near Mackinaw, IL where the park I went to is located. $3.48 here in town. :(

[musicman]

cost me $67.50 CDN ($1.20 per litre) last night

[Scarecrow]

Up a few cents today at $3.47 and deisel was $4.21

[jay-t]

$3.39 today

[Oldfart]

$A1.54.9 per litre.

$A5.33 per US Gallon.

[gekkogecko]

Oh, it's up in the $3.60 or so range.

[dicksbro]

$3.41 was the best I saw yesterday. Most are still around $3.45. :(

[IM1469]

$3.49 to 3.55, although more places are putting plastic bags over the pumps and not filling up as they don't have the money to purchase fuel. I suspect we will have a new thread started on the high cost of new shoes.!!

[jseal]

... places are putting plastic bags over the pumps and not filling up as they don't have the money to purchase fuel ...
A new wrinkle?

[dicksbro]

$1.14!!!!!!
http://bestsmileys.com/cars/22.gif
Of couse the station was closed and slowly falling apart with the sign about all that was left. :(

[wyndhy]

$3.49 to 3.55, although more places are putting plastic bags over the pumps and not filling up as they don't have the money to purchase fuel. I suspect we will have a new thread started on the high cost of new shoes.!!
who cares about new shoes? i'll walk barefoot. i just wanna be able to afford groceries again.

[dicksbro]

Paid $3.53 yesterday although most stations had reached $3.54 or $3.55.

I agree with you, wyndhy, it would be nice to be able to afford groceries again.

[Irish]

My wife & I are driving from Fla to NH this weekend.This morning we went to the beach & reg was $3.55/gal.The Pacifica that she just bought takes(reccomended) the medium grade,so I expct the trip will be VERY expensive!
Irish :sad:

[Scarecrow]

Jumped up to $3.59 today

[smithy020]

Well in scotland theres talk of a strike at the only oil refinery in the country, This has led to panic buying and increased prices...£1.30 a litre. with a £ getting you $1.98 that comes to $2.57 a litre and nearly $10 a US Gallon

The link is a wee bit from bbc about the problems
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/7360339.stm

[sodaklostsoul]

I paid $3.68 today.........................only stuck in $20.

[gekkogecko]

Diesel (which is not quite teh same as gasolene) is now topping $4.00/gallon. Ouch.

Filled up today with diesel @ £1.22 a litre. Works out at £5.46 per gallon, or $10.75 a gallon @ £1=$1.97.

Now, I know our fuel prices have been higher than in the US for years, but this is fucking ridiculous! (scuse my language) :(

No excuse needed, I'd be cussing a bluestreak that'd make you sound like Mary Poppins...

Haven't done any courier work this week, but I'll need to go in service tomorrow just to cover my deductions...& not looking forward to gassing up first (gulp)

[dicksbro]

$3.58 seems to be the "weekend" pricing around here. :(

[IowaMan]

I paid $3.39/gal. here yesterday.

[scotzoidman]

$3.38 w/my Kroger discount...& there's no extra charge for the water & contaminates ;)

[gekkogecko]

Now, I know our fuel prices have been higher than in the US for years, but this is fucking ridiculous! (scuse my language) :(

Beyond ridiculous.

[dicksbro]

$3.55 today at one of the stations. :) I suspect they'll get even in a couple of days, though. :(

[osuche]

I paid 3.98 for the cheap stuff this morning. $60 to fill my tank. Ugh.

[wyndhy]

there's aplace down the road that lists 3.48 (most places are about 3.60ish) but i'm scared of it. might be hinky :p

[dicksbro]

$3.55 in town ... but yesterday I picked my son up at the Junior College in E. Peoria and a station that normally is among the lowest priced was at ... $3.67!

[Oldfart]

Creeping up to $US5.60 per USgallon.

I'll need to hire a guard soon for the fuel tank on the Rav4.

[IowaMan]

$3.49/gal. here for the ethanol blend.

[scotzoidman]

$3.42 this am with the kroger discount. Plus there's a warning on the news that the E85 blends may allow water to get into the gas supply, so now we all have to gamble on cheap(er) gas vs. 4-digit auto repair bills. :banghead:

[IowaMan]

I'm gonna buy a donkey.

[dicksbro]

We're still hanging around $3.65 as of yesterday morning. :(

[Lilith]

same here^^^

[dicksbro]

Kind of a nice place to find the cheapest gas in your area ...

http://www.gasbuddy.com/

According to it, as of this morning, a GasMart on W Glen in Peoria had gasoline at $3.49/gal.

Good news is that there were several stations in the Nashville area at $3.38 o $3.39/gal. :)

[smithy020]

Filled up today with diesel @ £1.22 a litre. Works out at £5.46 per gallon, or $10.75 a gallon @ £1=$1.97.

Now, I know our fuel prices have been higher than in the US for years, but this is fucking ridiculous! (scuse my language) :(



Its the price we pay for free health care......

[Freya]

The gas tax pays for the health care?

[gekkogecko]

Fuckin' around $3.74/gal.

[dicksbro]

Still $3.49 near where I went walking this morning. A little place called Mackinaw, IL.

[Scarecrow]

The gas tax pays for the health care?


In Scotland


One local station jumped to $3.65 today.

Now, I know our fuel prices have been higher than in the US for years, but this is fucking ridiculous! (scuse my language) :(


DM, you have to remember that in the States we subsidize the gas companys by giving them tax breaks, so that helps keep the price down. We pay for it, just not at the pump.

[Pita]

My store sold gas today at $3.56

[Coaster]

3.57 here

[dicksbro]

Locally, all the stations here jumped to $3.79 today. Rumor ... even at the stations ... is that $4.00 is just around the corner and $5.00 by summer's end.

Keep your fingers crossed that those predictions ... fears ... don't come true. :(

[Scarecrow]

$3.79 here also today

[Eros]

I work at a gas station, $3.89 a gallon for the cheap stuff

[dicksbro]

Still at $3.79 as of yesterday. Rumor is, $4.00 soon and $5.00 by summer's end. That's a rumor I hope doesn't materialize. I was with friends at a local Arby's which is in a building that is 1/5 Arbys and 4/5 service station and truck stop. We heard on the PA system a lady in the truck stop telling a driver that his bill was $1352.00 for filling his rig. :yikes:

One of these days, I suspect we'll have a major "revolt" by truckers (not just the demo in Washington a bit ago). :(

[jseal]

$3.98 in Santa Paulo, CA

[scotzoidman]

Beginning to look like I could quit the courier thing, park the van, & my savings would just about make up for the loss of income :banghead:

[maddy]

3.59/gal last night when I went past. Just for fun I opened this thread and looked at the first few pages... granted it was 6 years ago... but we sure were shocked at the prices weren't we?

[osuche]

I paid $3.94 for the cheap stuff yesterday

[PantyFanatic]

3.59/gal last night when I went past. Just for fun I opened this thread and looked at the first few pages... granted it was 6 years ago... but we sure were shocked at the prices weren't we?
We didn't know our asses had to be this deep. :shrug:

[RomeosTune]

3.49 here and I thought that was bad.

[IowaMan]

$3.59/gal. here for the cheap stuff. :(

[dicksbro]

$3.72 yesterday. :(

[sodaklostsoul]

Today $3.77

[IowaMan]

Now they're just jerking me around, the cheap stuff is down to $3.54/gal. here in town today. :shrug:

[Pita]

We jumped .09 cents today to a whopping $3.75 a gallon and we are one of the cheapest stations in town.

[Scarecrow]

Jumped to $3.85/gal today, $4.00 here we come...

[Lilith]

The station across from my neighborhood was $3.65 this morning and $3.77 when I came home.wtf?

[dicksbro]

Coming home last night from Peoria, I noticed the stations had all bumped their prices from $3.75 when I went in to Peoria up to $3.88 or $3.89/gal. :( Used to be they waited til Wednesday or Thursday for the price jump. :mad:

[dicksbro]

$3.94 - $3.95 seem to be the new level of gouging. :(

[dicksbro]

It was too cold to go for a walk this morning, but I found a station wth the price at $3.88. Wouldn't drive there just for that, but it was nice to save a little bit since I was there.

[IowaMan]

$3.59/gal. this morning here.

[PantyFanatic]

Just traded a picture of Grant ($US50) for 13 gal. of gas.

...... and it's TOTAL bullshit and greed. :mad:

Fact~

There is NO shortage!

This is a system out of control and could easily begin it's end. When pressure exceeds the strength of the support it will exert high stress on many parts until it crushes the weakest point. As we feel the squeeze, remember the very bottom is being strangled to death. Do not be shocked when hungry people are burning in the streets.



:2cents:

[scotzoidman]

The price/gallon wasn't the thing this evening, but the fact that it nearly hit the $60 mark to fill the tank...that scares the hell outta me!

[PantyFanatic]

It should for more than one reason. :cool:

[dicksbro]

Went to see "Narnia: Prince Caspian" today at the mega-theatre in Pekin. Filled the car at a nearby station for $3.86/gal. That's nine cents less than here but hardly a bargain. :(

[Pita]

We have 20 pumps where I work and it's one of the busiest stations, next to that of Walmart. I hate seeing what a struggle it is for so many people, especially the college students who are often deciding between gas and eating. We also have a large Mexican population that come in every morning as they start their day and the gas prices are really hitting them hard. Then there is the elderly who are on fixed incomes and regale us with the, "I remember when," stories.

I agree with PF, this is BULLSHIT!!! :mad:

If gas prices impress you now, wait until the carbon emission limits begin to take effect!

Thanks SODA and SC. Handy sites.

A $.37/gal. difference is 10%. I'm SURE each one can 'justify' that too. :mad:

[dicksbro]

$3.86 yesterday in Mackinaw (about 15 miles from here). It's near where I go for many of my walks in the park.

[IowaMan]

$3.61/gal. here today for the ethanol blend.

[dicksbro]

$3.97 in Pekin yesterday ... still around $4.09 here. :(

Angers me that the congress that went in hasn' done a &#$@ thing to help after telling us they had a "plan." Baloney. They probably bought more oil stocks. :mad: As a matter of fact, I don't think they've done a @$@$ thing about anything. A bunch of worthless creeps.

[IowaMan]

$3.84/gal. here today.

[sodaklostsoul]

Not gonna matter what the price is cause it will still cost me a bundle for the 1570 mile round trip we are strating tomarrow.

[osuche]

$4.26 here

[dicksbro]

Have a safe trip! We'll be thinking of ya'!!

Still hovering around $3.97 (up to $4.06) as of yesterday afternoon. :(

[dicksbro]

Just (half) filled my wife's car. $40.00. :tear:

[bh4229]

i am having to sell sperm to fill up my truck!!! ok....actually i am fucking the convenience store clerk and we trade out in gas! :)....ok..maybe NOT! It is about $3.89 here in Houston...but i wish I was fucking the clerk.

[Scarecrow]

I got a free tank of gas





















the dealer though it in with the new Jeep. :roflmao:

[dicksbro]

$3.97 when I filled up yesterday. Ironically, it was at the station that normally is the highest price. The other stations were more. :(

[jseal]

$3.85 / gal here last night.

Perhaps doing nothing to prevent or alleviate increased prices were part of Congress’ plans to reduce carbon emissions.

$4.18 - $4.21 range in Chicago this weekend.

[dicksbro]

Looks like a few stations in Peoria are at $3.85. $3.88 was the lowest I saw here.

[WildIrish]

I paid $4.35 a gallon for the "cheap" stuff this morning. Highest price for regular gas in CT is currenty $4.89 a gallon.

I must admit...Jezebel is a lot easier to feed than Rufus. ha ha

[dicksbro]

Spoke too soon when I last posted. $3.92 is what I paid this afternoon. My normal low-priced station was actually higher. :(

[Scarecrow]

back up to $3.99

[scotzoidman]

Wife filled up Sunday @ $3.95/gal...yesterday when I had to fill up, it was up to $3.99.

*and if it goes up any more, I'll be hitting the $70 mark per fill up*

[sodaklostsoul]

Paid $4.08 yesterday.

[dicksbro]

I saw one station at $3.95 this morning but held off filling the tank. Probably wil regret it because the station nearest our home was at $4.14. :(

[jseal]

$3.96/gal in Baltimore

[dicksbro]

In town here it's at $4.08 and that's down from $4.14 yesterday. :(

[Lord Snow]

Here in Tennessee it's well a little over 3.80 a gallon. Took $32.01 for 8.359 gallons in my car. However, to lower my gas bill, my cousin and I who happen to work in the same warehouse, car pool. I drive for two weeks, he drives for two weeks. That way I fill up only 2 maybe three times a month. I don't go anywhere.

[Pita]

$3.99 when I left work today.

[jay-t]

$3.67 here at wally world

[gekkogecko]

$4.27. Fuckin' ouch, people.

[dicksbro]

Saw $4.05 this afternoon at a local station.

[andyhart]

I read an article that said the prices would level off around 4.15, but the gas station across the street is $4.27 for credit card and 4.17 for cash. So much for leveling off.

[Fangtasia]

E10 unleaded AU$1.43/litre
Unleaded AU$1.46/litre
Premium Unleaded AU$ 1.49/litre
Diesel AU$1.72/litre
Autogas AU$0.69/litre

[dicksbro]

$4.03 at a nearby Shell station yesterday. Most are around $4.08 locally.

[dicksbro]

$3.91 in Lincoln (IL). $3.96 is what we saw locally. Glad we filled up our gas tank in Lincoln on our way home. :)

[PantyFanatic]

Today it took a dime jump to $4.16/us gal just in time for the holiday. :hair:


What a surprise. :banghead:

Dang, I wish I could move....I paid $4.92 this morning.

[AngelicVampires]

I was reading through some of the first posts in this thread....I miss those gas prices :(

[osuche]

I paid $4.59 today

[Neige]

I just paid 1.388$/litre in New Brunswick.

[Scarecrow]

Paid $4.09 today

[dicksbro]

$4.04 was the best I saw yesterday.

[Oldfart]

Just over $US6 per US gallon.

[jseal]

Gas here is currently running $3.94 to $4.00 a gallon.

I find it entertaining to read articles in the newspaper about the dramatic increase in ridership levels in the Subway, Light Rail, and inter-city rail services. I guess that at least some people do not “have” to use their cars after all.

[dicksbro]

$4.05 was the lowest I saw in town yesterday.

[jseal]

$3.98 - $4.04 this last week.

There is a cute cartoon (http://www.economist.com/research/articlesBySubject/displaystory.cfm?subjectid=8717275&story_id=11673457) about how sensible people are responding to the increase in gas prices.

[IowaMan]

$3.87/gal. here.

[Pita]

Dropped to $4.02 today

[dicksbro]

$3.94 at a station in Pekin (about 10 miles from here) while it was $4.05 or more here. :(

Glad I was over in Pekin and saw the price. :)

[BamaKyttn]

$3.85

Went by there this morning and their price was up to $4.15 while I saw $4.03 here in our little berg.

[Scarecrow]

Down to $3.99 here today

[jay-t]

up to $3.95 here

[dicksbro]

(From Nov. 2002) $1.35 a gallon.........and I am looking at the above replies and I am in shock! I thought we had it bad....I am relieved now!!!!

http://bestsmileys.com/crying/2.gif

[IowaMan]

$3.97/gal. here for the cheap stuff.

[IowaMan]

And of course I find it's now $3.85/gal. after I filled up at $3.97. :mad:

[jay-t]

It dropped here yesterday to $3.59

[GreenChef]

Finally dropped below 1.40 a liter

[WildIrish]

Filled up at $4.49 per gallon yesterday.



It was a real struggle to fit all $9.00 in. :p

[Tigerlily78]

140.2 per litre.... I can still fill up for about $50

[scotzoidman]

With my kroger discount, $3.79/gal...still took over $60 to fill.

& since running w/o A/C is not an option, I guess poor gas mileage is a given for the next 2 months or so...

[jay-t]

Wally world dropped to $3.49 today

[sodaklostsoul]

Wally world dropped to $3.49 today
I wish we had that price................Its still around $4 or more here.

[dicksbro]

I felt good on Monday (last day I filled the tank on our rental car) when the price was $3.67 at Franklin, KY. :)

It's about $3.80 across the street from our hotel here in Nashville.

[PantyFanatic]

Yep! Yep! Yep!

And they left it that way (unlike any time I see a low price around here) until after I refilled the rental :nana:

[scotzoidman]

Lucky you, I had to refill my rental twice while the prices were at the peak...

Lucked into pulling up to yet another pilot station today (Lebanon, TN) just as the idiot light dinged on me, $3.79/g
