What do you pay for gas?

[Steve]

Here in Mansfield, Texas. Gas right now is about $1.85/gallon for regular unleaded.

I'm just curious what other people in the country are paying.

[AwfulSmell]

It's close to $2.00 here in Sandpoint, Idaho. Maybe because it's so remote up here.

[Chevy Girl]

Most places up in the Seattle area are about $2.15-2.20. I have seen it as low as about $2.05 in the recent past.

[Aeropagus]

I was in Alamogordo and it was $1.79 last week. Them had to drive for business and was in Raton and it was $2.25.

SAME WEEK!

[MetallicaRocks]

I paid over $2.00 in Michigan last fillup.

[StumpJumper]

TWO OH FIVE in Orlando!


TWO OH FIVE for one gallon of gas. That's crazy. I wanted to stick a paper bag over the nozzle to catch the gas vapors.

[Aeropagus]

It's more than that up here in the mountains. I seem to remember looking at $2.25 and thinking it was a good deal.

[Alabamaslamma]

same down here in bama. Some places are like $1.95 still, most are creeping near $2.00+

[EnvoyFan]

Spokane, WA is over $2.00. I've not paid under 2 for a long time.

[CrossMan]

HAH! I do not even want to begin to discuss gas costs. I drive a bunch so I have to pay like $50/week for gas with these new gas prices. That's like $225/month or $2500/year! In GAS! Makes me cry almost.

[Rick_James]

Everyone is living in cheapville.

Some parts of Orange County are getting near $2.50 per gallon. You heard me. That's $2.50 per gallon!

Oy, vay!

[rich120]

I'm doing 3 tanks a week at $2.05 in NY!!!!

[Steve]

$2.50 in Orange County? That's nuts. I lived out there 10 years ago and it was expensive to live there then.

Rich, how far are you driving to have to fill up 3 X per week?

[Safety1]

That's crazy in Cali. I always swore that I'd break out the 10 speed before I'd pay that much for gas, but that was a long time ago when I was in better shape. :-)

[Tonyg]

What do I pay for gas?

Whatever it is, I pay it through the nose!

[AppleADay]

I would love to think that we would start moving into more hybrid vehicles in the future. Anyone with me on this? Same horsepower, less gas?

[AppleADay]

$2.10 for gas usually, by the way.

[EatingDust]

I don't have to drive a lot, but it's like $1.90 in town.

[BossGMC]

I fear that the gas prices might hit $3.00/gallon in California. They'll start producing some more hybrids then, huh?

[Grizzly]

gas is pretty expensive out here in Southern California. I never expect to pay less than $2.50/gallon. That's kinda sad, but it's really not THAT bad. It beats taking the bus.

[Steve]

There are still a few gas stations in town that are under $2.00, but for the most part everyone is over $2.00 now. :-(

[easyT]

gas is about the same in austin as it is in dallas or san antonio I guess. Around $2.00/gallion

[SpeedFreak]

I paid about $2.10 per gallon my last fillup.

[ChillyWilly2]

very expensive in Idaho. it used to be pretty cheap here, like in the late 1990s there was a price war on gas and it was costing like $.85/gallon. Then with all this stuff going on now, we're getting raped!

I'm glad that I'm on campus, becuase it's like $2.10 in town now. Idaho is better for gas that Washington though. They've got more tax on there, like an extra $.10/gallon. So people from WSU in Pullman come to Moscow to gas up.

[JollyRoger]

I saw gas for $2.15 on the freeway the other day. Couldn't beleve it.

[Aeropagus]

Going up here again in NM. Another few cents. But, NM is cheaper than Arizona, I know that for a fact.

[mad_dog_jones]

$2.25 per gallon for me in Phoenix! NUTS!

[Steve]

Gas jumped again in Dallas / Fort Worth. It was $2.10 for when I filled up yesterday.

My folks just bought a 39 Fleetwood Bouunder motorhome with a 300 HP diesel engine. Gets 10 MPG

[scissors]

I paid $2.40 the other day around portland. :-(

[Steve]

Just wondering if it's only been in Texas or what. But gas prices are DOWN like $.10 over the past week or so.

I saw gas for like $2.08 the other day, just curious if other people are seeing this.

[MakingWaves]

Gas has stayed pretty stable out here in cali. It's high. That's all there is too it.

[Steve]

I heard on the radio this afternoon that gas in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area is expected to drop another $.03 this weekend. The commentator said that he bought some gas in Dallas for $2.01/gallon.

That would be something. It's funny how I don't quibble about paying $20.00 for a couple of pizzas, but I whine and cry when the gas goes up $.10/gallon!

[Steve]

Gas prices have been pretty stable around here actually. It's just right around $2.00/gallon.

[Aeropagus]

Gas is pretty stable here in NM too. Can't complain, even though I would ride a horse if it hit $3.00/gallon though!

[Steve]

Prices have been on the rise again. :-(

$2.18 at the place down the street from my house.

[Steve]

I paid $2.60 for gas.

I stood there in shock almost.

[ChevyLover]

I saw a gas station that went out of business a couple of years ago. They never took down their prices. It was like $1.50 for gas back then.

[asstda2b]

OH MY GOSH. I am sooooo moving. I am moving to where all you other people live. Drum roll please.....2.87 a gallon for tbe cheap 87 gas. here let me open my 76 bill that just came........grand total for one month, 269.89. and all I do is drive to work and home. I don't drive yhat much.

[Steve]

It's expensive to live in Southern California. That's the price of sunshine and nice weather year-round.

[asstda2b]

Willing to trade. That nice weather you are talking about it has been over 100 every day for the last week and at 10 pm it is still around 90. thrilling. I want cheaper gas like all of you. It isn;t fair just because I like in LA means I pay more, it isn't like I get paid more out here.

[Steve]

I paid $3.12 for gas yesterday!

That's crazy insane! What have other people started to pay?

[Steve]

I paid $3.12/gallon for gas last night. That's insane.

Just wondering what other people are seeing as far as their high gas prices.

[Steve]

I paid $3.12/gallon for gas last night.

Just wondering what other's paid for it.

[Diver6127]

2.99 for reg; 3.09 for mid grade; 3.21 for super ...

[ChevyLover]

They're saying that it might go as high as $4.00 in the medium-range, and $5.00 in the short term. That's very expensive to say the least!

[Aeropagus]

Over $5 (or was it $6) in Alabama earlier today. Heard it on the radio.

[shayrob]

On sunday I paid $3.45 for regular in philadelphia

[cheffernan]

It has come down a bit here in Miami- went from $2.65 to $3.03 last week, now $2.99 is a good find. They're saying that they anticipate the prices to continue to drop (probably to the $2.50 mark) due to the fact that several countries around the world released their oil reserves to help with Hurricane Katrina.

[Steve]

It seems to have hit $2.99 at 8 out of 10 gas stations around me in the Dallas / Fort Worth area.

[JABLAZ02]

That's still not too too bad Steve. We're at about $3.19 to $3.25 for regular up here in NY

[RedNeck]

yeah, it's over $3/gal for most poeple in the country I think.

[Steve]

Seems to have come down about $.10/gal here. I paid $2.89 Thursday.

[Steve]

I'm back to paying $3.00/gallon. Hate to say it, but it seems normal to pay that these days.

[tahoelegend]

Bush... now see they voted him in and we paying for it.... I'm paying $3.15 in maryland, couple weeks back in dc I was paying $2.99 both for mid grade and I see $3.10. heard on cnn that gas was going to start going down.

[Steve]

Bush wants more oilfields and more refineries! It's the environmentalists that are causing all of this. I'm all for clean air, but lets build another 10 or 15 refineries and open up some more stuff in Alaska for drilling.

[99yukon]

I just got it for $2.69 last night. Its killing me spending $170 a week in gas.

[tahoelegend]

Bush wants more oilfields and more refineries! It's the environmentalists that are causing all of this. I'm all for clean air, but lets build another 10 or 15 refineries and open up some more stuff in Alaska for drilling.
I didn't think he cared about refineries I know he mentioned oil feilds but I don't think that will help. you got to remember he's an oil man. its more to it they not telling us, but I think the refineries is one major key.

when was the last time gas went up this much???? anybody?

[Steve]

It's going back up! Argh. $2.30 last week.

[Aeropagus]

Gas seems to be on the up again. About $2.25 here.

[Steve]

$2.15 ... it's like a roller coaster.

[Luckycat]

Gas prices are getting higher every day!! :(

[Wonka]

$3.09 in Wisconsin. Thinking about using the Flex fuel in my 2005 Silverado. What do all of you pay for E-85?

[Aeropagus]

It's funny to read this thread backwards to early 2005. :-) I'd kill for $1.79 gas. It's about $2.00 right now.

[BarneyIsDead]

Gas in Boise right now is about $2.25 / gallon.

[brownbomb]

$2.04 in N. GA for reg. (87 octane).

Roger

[Aeropagus]

Gas got really cheap about 6 weeks ago. I paid $1.89 back then. It's back to about $2.00

[Steve]

Gas in DFW is about about $2.05 again. I jumped up and down when I saw $1.88 a few weeks ago too.

[TrailLeadr]

That's still lower than here. It's been about $2.15. Still not as low as I would like.

[ChevyLover]

Hah! It's going down again! Maybe after Thanksgiving it will plummet again.

[sidedrifter]

In Sothern Oregon It is 2.50 a gallon and going up :evil: Pete

[Steve]

Yeah, I grew up in the Northwest, everything's more expensive up there!

Gas just dropped again here. I paid $1.98 yesterday.

[Steve]

Argh, it's a yo-yo. I paid $2.15 again the other day.

[bigrickisbig]

In Salt Lake City, UT I paid $2.10/gallon to fill the pig (the kids nickname for our burb). Just a few ticks shy of $90 to fill it... will last about two weeks.

[sidedrifter]

Here in Medford,Oregon reg is $2.67 diesel is $3.00 and going up.

[retired2001]

I paid $2.06 last night in New Braunfels, Tx. for regular & diesel was $2.37

[Borguy]

Wishful thinking over here (=Belgium-Europe).
Gas between 5.50 and 6.30/gallon depending on octane 95 or 98.
Diesel is $4.30 and LPG $2.35/gallon.

I have calculated it from liters to gallons and from Euros to dollars (exchange rate dependant).

[Renegade1Oh]

Well, today it was $2.25/gal for the cheap stuff. $2.70/gal for diesel.

[slidercoach]

I paid $2.09 yesterday in Plano, Texas. I drove by today and it was $2.15

[chevyloverss]

NYC is $2.50 reg now and looks to be climbing as it was $2.19 about a month ago

[Steve]

I saw some old photos from about 10 years ago. Gas was $1.07 /gallon. :-) those were the days.

[chevyloverss]

Man those were the days. I don't think they are coming back

[Steve]

I feel old. talking about the "good old days" when bread was cheap, gas cost a buck and the average joe walking down the street had spring in his step.

[Steve]

... and it's going back down again.

[Steve]

Kroger's grocery store had a program where if you spent $100 in groceries, you got $.10/gallon discount (up to a certain number of gallons I think). Anhow, I paid $2.01/gallon yesterday becuase of it. Nice to see prices that low again.

[Steve]

Don't forget that Walmart is giving $.03/gallon discount if you use their credit card, or a Walmart gift card. So if you have to fill up something like a boat or a bunch of vehicle, it's worth it to run inside to buy some gift cards and then go out and pay at the pump with those cards right away.

Over a long trip, or over time that can really save some money.

[TrailLeadr]

I'd much rather see the prices closer to $.95/gal (when I started driving), but I'll settle for $1.50/gal.

[GM_Guy]

as of today, reg. unleaded is at 1.89/gal
a couple places at 1.94/gal

[Sandy72526]

I drive about 2000 miles a month and have definitely found it worthwhile to get a Citibank credit card that gives 5% back on all gas and grocery purchases. I got one for each member of the family (4 of us....all the same account) and we just all pitch in our part when the bill comes in. Also, here in RI we have Super Stop and Shop grocery stores with gas stations. Often you get a 10 cent off per gallon coupon ... combine that with the other 5% from the credit card and its almost affordable!

[Rockman59]

Man...I must really be getting old. I started driving in high school back in the late 50s...my first car was a '41 Ford coupe. Gas was 18 cents a gallon for regular and 21 cents for "ethyl". Now I drive an '06' Suburban and a Mercedes and am paying $2.53 a gallon for unleaded in La Quinta, CA (Palm Springs).

[garys]

Hi all, gas prices just dropped here in the Grand Rapids area to around 1.99/gal. They have been in the 2.29 price range. I was paying 40 cents a gal when I started driving back in the late 60's.

I tend to drive the 6 banger car rather than the Tahoe these days. I find I can help the mileage on both vehicles by staying around 55 mph on the country roads around here. I also try to play the lights. If the traffic light is red, I coast to it rather than drive up to it and hit the brakes. Braking is lost energy and fuel economy. For me, a little more driving time saves me money and stress too.

[dwill3015]

I'm jealous because in Washington state, Fuel prices are outrageous with the average price of unleaded being $2.69, and I paid $2.85 for diesel fuel just today. :cry:

[Steve]

I started driving in the late 80's early 90s and I remember paying $1.00/gallon.

[rmreid]

I remember .33.9 for premium, regular gas around here can be found for $1.85.9

[Headhunter]

Our gas prices just came down to $1.99 a gal. Not sure how long they will be there, but you can rest assured that I will be filling up!

We also have a grocery store here called Giant Eagle. They offer $.10 off a gal for every $50 spent in groceries or gift cards. So I go in, buy gift cards and then spend the gift cards (they encouage this). I bought a dishwasher at BestBuy for $800 using these giftcards, that was $1.60 off a gal of gas. You can only get up to a max of 30 gallons of gas per transaction, but it's nice to be only paying around $.40 for a gallon of gas.

[Steve]

Yeah, that's a good idea to get involved in those types of things. I used to avoid them becuase they track your information, but they're going to track me anyhow, I may as well get a discount. :-)

[Steve]

Haha, Gas prices are dropping again here in Arlington, TX.

Saw gas for $1.99 on my way home. Both my vehicles are just about emply.

14 gallons in the Cavalier = $27.86
18 gallons in the Trailblazer = $38.82

Total that I'll spend tonight on gas = $63.68

[GM_Guy]

currently 1.86 at most stations, with one at 1.83, and one at 1.80

[Steve]

currently 1.86 at most stations, with one at 1.83, and one at 1.80

Why is gas cheaper in Kansas? You're like directly north of me and the gas is actually refined in Texas!

[jhub]

for the last two weeks $2.06 to 2.15 but thursday night the prices stared dropping down,its $1.93 a gallon right now

[NHSilverado]

Gas here is still in the $2.20-$2.30 range. No real drop in a good month.

[GM_Guy]

Why is gas cheaper in Kansas? You're like directly north of me and the gas is actually refined in Texas!

I wish I knew why, but in the meantime I'm sure gonna enjoy it :)

[TrailLeadr]

I wish I knew why, but in the meantime I'm sure gonna enjoy it :)

Probably due to tax/gallon

[KD7ONE]

Here in Billings, MT it is between $2.04 and $2.06

[terry0341]

Last friday 755am $1.76, left at noon in other car stoped to fill up $2.09 same station. I wonder why the big oil companis have had record profits? BILLIONS! "WOW I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A V8"

[ChevyLover]

Last friday 755am $1.76, left at noon in other car stoped to fill up $2.09 same station. I wonder why the big oil companis have had record profits? BILLIONS! "WOW I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A V8"

No kidding.

We're seeing gas prices go down here. Not as low as $1.76. Maybe $2.00/gallon last I checked.

[terry0341]

Well, Hillary will take care of us!??????

[Steve]

In Arlington I saw prices as low as $1.85 last week or so. Seems to have crept back up.

[Steve]

Argh, what's going on? Gas just jumped up again to about $2.10/gallon! That's an insane jump in the past couple of weeks. :frown:

[2loud]

heeeyyy come on here in sweden we pay almoust 11 SEK PER LITER !!!!! thats $1.57 per LITER OR 5,96 per GALLON so i cant really understund what u american folks are yelling about ;-)

[bprepdah]

Gas in the Orlando, Fl. area has been running about $2.08 - $2.15 for the past month..no changes yet

[dwill3015]

$2.69 for Diesel in Washington State

[BigShow]

Paid $2.13 yesterday in Warwick, RI


Big Show

[NHSilverado]

Argh, what's going on? Gas just jumped up again to about $2.10/gallon! That's an insane jump in the past couple of weeks. :frown:


Crude has soared, due to the cold weather and OPEC reducing production and threatening to do so further, reaching almost $60 a barrel. As a result gas is going up too. NO need for it as supplies are at levels not seen since the highs of the late 90's for crude, gas, and distillates but greed is a powerful factor. Speculators have just been waiting for something to give them a reason to drive prices up yet again.

OPEC is partly to blame for this as well. They claimed crude should trade between $45 and $50 when it was in the $70+ range but once it fell back into the $50 range, and briefly into the high $40's, they changed their stance and cut production claiming $60 was a fair market price( BS! ).

It finally got cold in the Northeast and coupled with the OPEC cuts and other geopolitical issues crude prices, and products refined from crude, are soaring. Throw into the mix yet another threat of violence and worker strikes in Nigeria and the ever continuing Iran issue and prices will probably go well past $60 and very soon. Another big factor is the refineries reduced production, dropping from the mid 90% capacity range to the mid 80% range. They didn't want supplies to build anymore to keep those record profits rolling in.

Bottom line is crude drives the price of gas. Right now there is a good $20-$25, and maybe more, on the price p/barrel that is BS and being driven by fear and/or artificially manipulated. Too many people are making too much money for prices to ever again be reasonable. Right now the horse has taken the bit so to speak and who knows when prices will moderate, level off, and drop back. Heck, they may not do so before next fall as spring and the summer driving season is just around the corner.

I imagine gas will hit $3.50-$4.00 this summer( local price - hit $3.10 last year for a high ). If we get anothe rhurricane we are really screwed. NO real shortage of crude or refined products. More a made up hysteria to keep prices up and keep the rich getting richer.

[janeofalltrades32]

Still $1.99 in some places (Houston, TX); :redface: the highest I have seen here is about $2.50, at one of those Shell full-service stations. :rolleyes:

[clark1321]

Prices in North Florida are definitely going up. I live in JAX and am paying between 2.15 and 2.20. I can go across the line into South Georgia and pay as little as 1.99 or 2.05. Fortunately my job takes me up that way regularly.

[Chevy Girl]

Gas is crazy in the northwest! It's probably holding steady around $2.25 right now I think in Seattle.

[doug]

was 2.19 down to 2.11 very good as of lately

[garys]

Here in W. Michigan gas prices range from 2.19 to 2.38. In Grand Rapids the price stays pretty steady but in our small town of Hastings, the price will be up and down 3 or more times during the week. Of course, the weekends or the hint of bad weather makes the price rise but it's not price gouging according to our political leaders. Holidays really make the price jump. Can't wait for Valentine's Day. Should be 3 bucks for that day.

[MagForce]

Here in SE Florida..its a rollercoaster ride at times been around 2.19 to
2.25... depends on location of the stations..and who the station is..Shell seems to be the highest around here close to 2.28

[Ayrhead]

Hi everyone, Ayrhead here from Ontario, Canada. Gas prices are $0.84.9 per litre X 4.54 = 1 Cdn. gallon= $3.85 per gallon!!! You guys have it made in the shade down there.........

[TrailLeadr]

heeeyyy come on here in sweden we pay almoust 11 SEK PER LITER !!!!! thats $1.57 per LITER OR 5,96 per GALLON so i cant really understund what u american folks are yelling about ;-)

We're just a bunch of whiners. :tongue:

Gas prices have been about $2.06 lately they're up around $2.14. Not a really big price jump.

[n4sir45]

Where are you buying yours, I live in Glen Burnie Maryland and the cheapest I found lately is at citgo....$2.11.
I wish I could find it at that price. Or should I move to your area.

[craig6970]

I pay on base 2.49 and downtown 2.59 for 87 octane.

[familytruckster]

Illinois, St.Louis metropolitian area gas run from a low of $1.98 to a high of $2.39 per gallon. I haul gas for a living,so I watch the price. I still think we the public are getting raped by the oil companys.

[tonietal]

Our prices are always outrageous. . . $2.43 with a Safeway discount.

[84fiero123]

Funny how gas prices jump as soon as oil prices do.

But when oil prices go down we don’t see the immediate drop in price, like we see the the immediate rise in prices.

I personally think the oil companies are screwing us.

Oil went below $60 dollars a barrel and gas never went below $2 a gallon up here.

I really blame the middle man.

[bill18163]

Here in Erie it's $2.27 a gal. In Coudersport Pa. where I am at my camp right now, it's $2.19.

[frankw]

It's about $2.00 around here in Forked River NJ

[garyc]

Here is Nova Scotia we are paying 98.5 cents a litre, good old metric system, about $85.00 to fill my Yukon XL.

Gary C

[Len]

Got gas yesterday here in Vancouver BC Canada and it was 98.6 per litre. That works out to $3.94 a US gallon!

[Cableguy]

Wow Ayrhead and Len we're in the lead (I'm still around 78 per litre) although its not something I would like to lead...I'm broke:(

[Cableguy]

Opps I didn't see GaryC and his Yukon. Send money gary needs help...
He's broke too

[sierra818]

Hey what's going on fellas and ladies...I'm in Southern Cali and gas prices havn't been lower than 2.30 since hurricanie Katrina. They say Cali needs a special blend of gas' and the reserve for cali isn't what it should be. But I also read that everything was fine and dandy for, that gas prices start going up before something even happens, to be on the safe side. So if nothing ever happens, they still keep they're money and gas prices only drop by pennies. Since last week they went from 2.37 to 2.53. In Just 1 WEEK!!! That's outragous, I can't believe these gas companies are doing this to the people. They raked in billions of dollars overall, and about millions in net profits!!! The price per barrell was at about $57. They saw the profits they made last year, so this year they saw the profits go down, but it wasn't due to loss of business, it was due to gas going back down. I drove to bakersfield and gas was 2.17/gal of 87 octane, came back to Southern Cali outside of LA in the San Fernando Valley, and gas was 2.42....I don't know but I think it's wrong. and by the way, it's not that we're winers, it's because this country produces enough supply to keep prices down, but they don't politicians don't do anything about it...maybe 'cause they're getting a cut of the pie "wink, wink" Bush loves his oil!!!

[robotic_t]

Like the cable guy we pay more for fuel up here than you guys in the south like almost double what you's pay. Right now it flucuates between 80 and 90 cents a litre (thats like almost four bucks a gallon) so if anyone wants my gas bill feel free to email me some money LOL

Robotic_t in Ontario Canada

[BillH]

Hey guys,

This summer gas was $1.24 a litre. Whats that in green backs?
It`s been in the 90`s lately. Gas is usually .10 cents more per litre than in Ontario.
Question? I`ve had 3 olds Delta 88`s over the years, my latest is from Florida.
The other 2 got around 600klm per tank (ontario cars), this one gets 480 per tank. I was in florida last April with it and it got 650 per tank. I thought it was a computer thing, so I swaped in one from toronto but still get the same millage. Is there something else that could be causing this?

Bill.

[2loud]

so if anyone wants my gas bill feel free to email me some money LOL

Yeah, but for countries like Sweden, it's a whole different game. You're taxes are high on products like gas/diesel (and everything else, from what I understand) and that's offset by government services. In the US, the tax rate is climbing and some states tax fuel (or rebate if you're in a corn growing state)

we pay ca 90 % in tax per liter here in sweden right now , earlyer when they introduced E-85 they did sell that fuel taxfree so u can guess how manny that runed there gascars on e-85 .. it works fine if u mix gasoline and e-85 and even with a small adjust /rebuild u can run a gasolinecar on 100% E-85 without and damage , , well the sweish government was chocked by the fakt that so manny did run E-85 instead of gas so there lost in less taxes where huge , today we got lots of tax even on E-85 and there not any loonger as intresting to run E-85 in any other was they that E-85 is afar better fuel then gas and u can setup your car for lots of moore performace then with gasoline

this BS that they tries to make people to run cleaner cars ar thre as loong as loong as they wont lose any money out of it ( sad but thrue ) this sooooks

[henrys021500hd]

Last night I paid 83 cents /Ltr so you X that by 4 to get 3.32$/ US gal and for our old imperial it is X 4.55 which is 4.01$ per Imp gal. Our dollar is about 20c less than yours. Happy motoring, Henry

[kamanson]

Right now we are between $2.01 - $2.08, they were down to $1.98!

[hollywood49]

$2.25-$2.35 here in northern indiana depends where you buy it at, we were below $2.00 few weeks ago then slowly creeped back up

[ciosclone]

$2.25-$2.35 here in northern indiana depends where you buy it at, we were below $2.00 few weeks ago then slowly creeped back up

Around $2.30 gallon here (Ohio - 100 miles south of Columbus)
This big ol'' truck of mine loves her gas :eek:

[Robbiev]

I paid $2.01 today. Last week it was about $1.98 for regular.

[chevyloverss]

In Queens NYC i'm paying $2.35 right now.

[craig6970]

I just paid 2.61 in Sacramento.

[Steve]

Yeah, it's on the rise again. WTH?!?! Getting near $2.20/gal again. That's a 10% increase in just a few weeks.

Bread does not increase 10% in a week. Neither does soup, tires, asprin, coffee (well, sometimes), coke, or anything else.

[Cableguy]

I hear ya Steve this gas thing is out of hand in all of North America. How does the government stand back and watch these big gas guys have a ball at our expense...

[garys]

Here In Hastings Gas Is At 2.39 And Was At 2.42 Last Weekend. Always Goes Up On Weekends. With The Latest New Of 61 Dollars A Barrel For Oil, I Would Guess We Will Hit 2.50 Or More Sometime This Week. Should Be Another Banner Quarter For The Oil Industry Executives.

[Steve]

I know that I'm driving less. I find that we try to consolidate trips for stuff like going to the store, etc. No more driving around town to find the best deal on something. If I have to drive 30 miles to save $15 on something, it's not worth it anymore becuase that's 60 miles RT, at least 3 galons of gas and it's starting to eat up the savings...

[Steve]

Things look bad here. Gas prices went up $.05 last night in Mansfield, TX. That's bad when they raise the price on Sunday night.

Yesterday I paid $3.15/gal in Barstow, Ca for unleaded regular. I buy Chevron gas because it has Techron (http://www.chevron.com/products/prodserv/fuels/techron/techback.shtml).

[retired2001]

I filled up in New Braunfels last week @ $2.08 & went back by that afternoon and it had gone up to $2.09 and a truck was delivering gas. It is $2.19 here at the lake and same in Austin, yesterday. I saw that ""E85" was $1.85 in Austin, but mine isn't set up for it. Good luck!

[mr.copenhagen]

well all i have to say is way too much..to the point whare my dad is a trator and is buyin a honda :( i dont talk to him no more untill he desides not to buy it. he would allways talk about never buyin one and how much he hates one and now hes buyin one..who does that??haha

[Cableguy]

Well our gas just hit a $1 a litre today and if thats not enough theres a gas shortage (some refinery problem) 2/3 of our gas stations in central Ontario are closed...ya closed as in no gas. Its a big adventure to get gas...

[Steve]

What's going on with Gas Prices!!?!??!

We just hit like $2.35 in town! WHA??? Just gained 15% in the last 6 weeks. :mad:

[craig6970]

I just paid $2.75 a gallon last night.

[terry0341]

"What is going on with the gas prices"?! HOW DO YOU EXPECT THOSE STATION OWNERS TO MAKE THEIR BMW PAYMENTS! Abdoula can change the price just because he has had a bad day at the track or his stripper was extra good and he bought too many lap dances for Bin ladin at the Crazyhorse!!!!!!!!!!!!! I try to buy all my gas at local AMERICAN owned gas stations, those guys need us to support them. No I am not talking about Big Oil! I am talking about the guys out there trying to feed there kids!

[TrailLeadr]

Anyone know what the story is, on why the prices went up so much so quick?
It was not even a couple weeks ago, the price was $2.14 here, and now it's around $2.54.
It's not like it's vacation time, or traveling season. There haven't been any life altering weather events. So what gives???

[mr.copenhagen]

o well im proud of my gas eater.. some people ask me what i get for miles and i joke around and say something like 8 or 9 gallons to the mile lol because sometimes thats what it seams like im gettin

[TrailLeadr]

say something like 8 or 9 gallons to the mile lol because sometimes thats what it seams like im gettin

Isn't that the truth sometimes.:biggrin::biggrin:

[GWAGON_99]

I'm sitting at 12 solid! Gas is around $2.30 where I'm at, but I have seen it up around $2.50...insane. Maybe its for spring break???

[ChevyTech]

I paid $2.54 for mid grade gas yesterday here in N.H. Regular is about $2.41 around me.

[Steve]

yeah, it keeps going up and up. :-( The good news is that natural gas is very cheap, we were spending less than $100 for electricity in my home and like $50 to heat it each month over the winter... so I saved some money there...

[TrailLeadr]

Is it safe to assume that just about everyone here uses gas buddy to find the best prices in their area?

http://gasbuddy.com/

[Splinter_Cell]

Yea gas in my town over the last year or so has been sitting somewhere near or over $2.50 a gallon and at one point not all that long ago was just about $3. infact over winter break it was $2.75 a gallon, and with a suburban its a pretty painful fill up.

[Steve]

I've used www.gasbuddy.com (http://www.gasbuddy.com) for at least 2 years now (maybe longer ... wish I would have thought about it!) and have been able to get/give lists of the cheapest gas that I have found in my area.

[4wd-burban]

Gas Buddy looks interesting although we live in a small town so most of the time we know the stations that are usually the cheapest. It turns out that gas in town in usually cheaper than when we run to the larger city about an hour away for our bulk purchasing.

Thanks for the link however we might check that out before we run to the city next time.

Good day.

There are similar sites for major cities in Texas.

It's actually the same place but under the city's namegasprices.com
www.providencegasprices.com (http://www.providencegasprices.com)

They tried to cover every zip code available, but it depends greatly on the users of the board to keep the information accurate, and updated.

I'd say it's a pretty good resource, and usually accurate. My suggestion is to collect the info on the best 3-5 prices. This way if the place with the best price changes mid-day, you're not stuck hunting around for something better.

I remember the first time my buddies and I drove to Canada. We pulled up to the Gas station ecstatic that gas was so "cheap." Needless to say it was the first time I had driven out of the country and once it hit me that gas was measured in Lt. not gal. my joy quickly faded! By the way I just filled up at $2.32, not aweful compared to what I thought it was going to shoot up to.

[Steve]

Wow, gas is now $3.75 at the Race Track by my house!

Ya'll come back now ya hear.

[Steve]

$2.90 now.

[NHSilverado]

Actually saw $2.99 for 87 here! :mad: Not even Memorial Day and already they have it at $3. Yet crude is only selling at $63 today. 3 weeks back when crude was $63 gas was $2.30. Gas is going up 5-15 cents a day here steady.

Face it guys this is all gouging and has nothing to do with supply and demand or anything other than they can do what they want and they are doing just that. There are people that make a lot of money in the stock market who are able to influence information to drive traders crazy and drive up crude so they make more $$$. The gas companies manipulate supply by cutting back refining capacity and/or "unplanned maintenance/shutdowns" when inventories begin to build.

How many of you know that this past winter and early spring( just like the last couple years actually )there were countless "unplanned shutdowns" or "refinery outages" :rofl: over problems whenever supplies would really start to build? They always lasted a week or two until the prices rebounded and then they would suddenly be fixed. Funny but you almost never see this happen during the peak season when the refineries are running at full bore and would be more prone to problems. Nope, they always seem to happen in the off season when supply is building and prices dropping.

Also, do you realize that the refineries were only running at 80-85% of capacity( at one point it had dropped to like 78% )instead of the 95-97% they run at in the summer? Instead of running the refinieries in the 88- 90% range in the off season to build supply and keep prices level, which would let them run them at the same level during peak season because there would be adequate supply, they intentionally cut back so supply stays limited. Total supply manipulation to keep prices up. IMO this should fall under the new Federal Anti Gouging laws but no one in authority has the sack to do something.

This has become a famous ploy of theirs to keep prices up and drive them higher and higher. Whenever supplies begin to build and prices retreat they suddenly report problems or unplanned maintenance at key refinieries which = INSTANT $5 to crude and $.50 to refined products on the market. When prices drop significantly, and for more than a day or two, someone somewhere that benefits from either the cost of a barrel of crude or from refined products manipulates key information or industry to raise the prices back up. The info is there for someone who could do something to use if they just would.

Just pay attention to the market and whenever things start to go good for the consumer( ie; crude and thus refined products like gas, diesel, heating oil )you will see the manipulation start. I have been following it now for 3 years and it is like a soap opera. Just a predictable soap opera.

Yes, crude supplies and demand have got a lot closer but it is NOT as bad as some claim. This is all greed and manipulation of events and product to keep prices high. ExxonMobil reported their highest profits EVER for the 1st qtr of this year when gas/crude prices had retreated to $2.00 & $50 respectively. SO they still raked it in even with prices lower. No one is going to convince me that $3 gas is not artificially high. Until we get some politicians with some backbone that will do something about it though we are all screwed!

[84fiero123]

Ya we have been seeing the prices edge up to that, $2.99 last time I got gas and at those prices I can’t afford to fill up but once a month, when I get my check.

I have heard they are expecting prices to reach $4.00 a gallon. that’s here in Maine.

I’ve pretty much had it with this rich getting richer and poor getting poorer gas prices. If you own stock in Exxon or Mobil your all set, but us poor folks are just paying threw the nose.

And summer is coming, expect the prices to just keep going up.

We need to hold the gas companies accountable for this price gouging.

[95CTburb19]

this is crazy I payed 3.20 in Newtown, CT. I only get 10 mpg in my GMC 2500. My entire paycheck goes right into the 34 gallon gas tank. Infact if someone found a way to convert checks directly into fuel it would save me a trip. :great:

lol...it's not a funny situation, but the way you said it.

[garys]

Gas prices here are at an all time high of 3.25 a gal. Everytime some survey mentions an increase somewhere, the Michigan gas assc. jacks up the price. Since congress has it's own banking, medical, and retirement system, I bet they also have their own fueling system too. It makes no sense to me that the oil cost have been pretty stabile but the refined products have been so unstabile. I see that the all time profits the refiners have made last year are already being bested in the first quarter of this year. Our new paper mentioned the amount of investments being made by the oil industry. While they are investing a couple of million dollars,overseas, they are taking in billions and not much of their investment is in the refineries which are aging and of course when something happen to impair one the gas prices go higher so why fix those old money makers and create more jobs here at home.

I have parked the Tahoe and will use it only for vacation towing the camper. Will be driving a 6 banger getting 28mpg and only that when absolutely necessary. No sunday drives.. Being on a fixed income, these energy cost are a lifestyle changing event. Even vacation time will be spent very close to home now.

[Crawdaddy]

It's odd how Louisiana, which provides something like 80%+ of the nation's gas usually has some of the highest gas prices in the US. As of now, we're right around 2.80, but still, for all the gas we're producin' we should have like 1.25 gas...Damn oil companies making record profits...

[4wd-burban]

Again, for those of you who have a large impact based on fixed income spend some time researching veggie oil. There is a place here in Austin where I can buy it dewatered and filtered for $1.50/gallon. If you don't have access to this place there are filtering setups you can make for minimal $$ that will pay for themselves pretty fast if you do any sort of driving.

I'm not involved for the 'movement' aspect or much of anything else but the economics just make sense.

http://www.dieselgreenfuels.com/products.html

[GM_Guy]

when I bought my burb in early january, gas was 1.86
today, it's 3.19, an increase of 1.33 in a short span. this is nuts!!
oil goes down,as goes up. it is market manipulation and gouging pure and simple!!

[BillH]

I bought a diesel jetta. I have saved $400 in fuel in the first month.
The Tahoe is for family outtings and vacation now.
I miss my Tahoe, the jetta is not my idea of fun! But I can't argue with the money I'm saving and not paying to those rip off kings of fuel!

[Tazman]

Well I've been reading your prices around the US and wish it was that here in Vancouver B.C. Canada

I'm paying $1.30 per liter....or translated $5.92 a gallon.....meaning my fill ups are close to $100.00-$125.00 a fill up

ANYONE WANT TO TRADE !!!!!!!!!!!!

TAZMAN

[Steve]

Yeah, but how much of that is tax? You get high gas prices to help pay for health care, etc. (that's a whole nother debate)

[Ray06SS]

Gas here in West Babylon, New York is getting crazy--
must use high test in my truck, it's now $3.45 a gallon and still going up.

[sidedrifter]

3.49 for regular here in Medford Oregon and going up almost every day.
The Suburban is parked.

[Apache_Adventurer]

Gas is $1.09 (CDN) per litre - 3.78 litres in one U.S. gallon; 4.54 litres in one Imperial gallon.

$1.00 (CDN) = $0.91 (USF).

[phoneman10]

Lockport, Illinois $3.49 a gallon. $4.00 by summer.

[Geoffr]

I'm just curious what other people in the country are paying.

at the cheap gas place locally (ARCO) it's 3.35 a gallon for regular, 3.55 for plus and 3.65 for premium.

the shell I think it is across the street is 3.75 for regular, 3.85 for plus and 3.95 for premium :(:mad:

[Bill B]

Seattle area regular goes for $348.99 per gallon at Shell and Standard, Arco a little cheaper. Som,e other brands in the $340 to 260 range.

[KD7ONE]

It's 3.08/gallon here in Billings, MT

[Cableguy]

I'm still in around $1.06 CDN per litre. Yikes! Good thing I have a work van and just short tours in the Trailblazer...or I'd have to pry my fat butt into an Aveo...LOL

[BIGBEK]

Gas here in the Chicago burbs is around $2.40! I would dance naked in the streets if gas would drop below 2 bucks here!

NW GA is @ 2.85 gal for reg. UL today. I'm in KY @ the moment and the price is at 2.95 - 3.09 for reg. UL. Cheap compared to $4+ that it will be by late summer. Fill up those lawn mower gas cans!!

[TrailLeadr]

Fill up those lawn mower gas cans!!
No kidding!
Might be worth it to go buy an home heating oil tank (275gal), and when you see a good price grab an extra five gal in the large gas can, and dump it in the oil tank.

Avg price around here is $3.01

[Caliz71Tahoe]

$3.45 out here in Hollister, California...some of you are LUCKY. I still get a 10 cent discount thru Safeway...OH YIPPEE DO DA DAY!!! :rolleyes:

Can't wait to see what the price is going to be at Lake Shasta next week...$5+

[TrailLeadr]

I still get a 10 cent discount thru Safeway...OH YIPPEE DO DA DAY!!! :rolleyes:

Take what you can get. It's unlikely to get any better.:neutral:

[garys]

Well, The Price Here In Michigan Jumped From 3.29 To 3.49 A Gal. Today. I Also Heard That With The Internet Called Boycott Yesterday, Many Gas Stations Around The Grand Rapids Area Shut Off The 87 Octane And Force Customers To Buy Premium. Sure Sounds Like A Monopoly To Me Which I Believe Is Illegal But Get An Oil Funded Government To Press The Issue Is Impossible. The Reason For The Jump As Explained In The News Is That Several Refineries Have Shut Down For One Reason Or Another And That's Created A Shortage That Wall Street Jokers Have Jumped On To Drive Up The Price. Same Old Story, Just Cut Production And Hurt The Average Joe And Increase The Wealth Of The Oil Barons And Wall Street Paper Pushers. Soon Enough There Will Not Be An Average Joe To Kick Around. History Will Show Just How Corrupt This Government Has Become.

I Saw On The News A Couple Of Local Economist Said Gas Prices Could Hit 5 Dollars A Gal By Mid Summer. We Are Only A Buck And A Half Away And Not Even To Memorial Day. These Guys Also Said Some Report Is Due Out Today,5-16-07 That If As Expected, Is Bad, The Gas Prices Will Jump Again Today. At 20 Cents A Shot, It Will Only Take 8 Hikes To Make The 5 Buck Mark. Should Make It Before July 4th.

[TrailLeadr]

Ok, on that note, time to log off.

Here's to hoping that report is wrong!

[athol]

Here in Mansfield, Texas. Gas right now is about $1.85/gallon for regular unleaded.

I'm just curious what other people in the country are paying.

as of today it is $1.20 a litre or $5.40 a gallon or $4.80 a US gallon in Regina SK, Canada

[fyrecap478]

Gas in Oklahoma City Metro is at $3.10.
Some say it will soon be $4.00.
We get about 800 miles from a tank full in our 98 Suburban 1500, or about 18-20 miles per gallon. :eek:

[corsair855]

I live near Chicago and gas just went to 3.39 a gallon at most stations in my area although I did hear of one station in the far west suburbs that is charging $3.99/gallon. When is this madness going to stop??

[84fiero123]

What to I pay for gas?

Way to Dam Much.

Call your representatives and bitch.

If we allow the oil companies to keep raising prices they will.

[Suburban]

I live in Norway, and here gas cost around $1,75...but not pr gallon. It's pr litre!! So you take 1,75 times 4.545 (=1 gallon) to get the price pr gallon. You'll end up with a price somewhere around $7,95 pr gallon...

Anyone higher?? :ouch:

No wonder why i chose a car running on diesel, right? Diesel price here is now somewhere around $1,42 pr litre, that is $6,45 pr gallon!

Incredible in a country that produces all the oil they need themselves, no need for import or anything!

Weird... :frown:

[limerbeaner]

Were paying 3.25 per gallon in Orange County, NY

I go to Jersey and get gas for $2.85 but thats way too much

Love my Canyon though

I think it's bout $3.00 a gallon for mid grade here at Pope Air Force Base, NC. I realy don't pay too much attention to it since i gotta pay it anyways. The government isn't gong to do anything about it no matter how much we complain. It's free market enterprise, the gas companies can charge what they like...I know it sucks, but that's life.

i had email from the forum admin asking to join the club and post local gas price. with me being a smartass, you guys ever heard of site called gasbuddy? gives prices for any area in the country, so why bother?
http://www.gasbuddy.com/
it's around 3 40 to 3 50 in seattle metro. regular.
if you want to keep bitching about gas prices, keep buying gas guzzlers and keep buying gas. it'll get better. why i bought one? cuz i am being reimbursed for mileage. one and only reason.
there's only one, and only one way to drop the price on ANYTHING. stop buying. as far as you buy - they'll jag the price up to tolerance, then tolerance becomes norm, and they'll jag it up again. you don't buy - prices go down. can't help, it is as simple as 2 x 2=4.
by the way, 800 miles on tankful for suburban? at 20 miles to a gallon? it has a 40 gallon tank? GM almighty..... like i said - keep buying. it'll get better.

Some of us have to have these gas guzzlers for work and don’t get reimbursed because it is for my farm.

This is getting rediculous! What are the "poor" people going to do? The ones who only make minimum wage?? Or the older people who are on fixed incomes??

That's great!

I presume you had the conversions done, or did them yourself. Can you give us a rundown on your experience with LPG so far (pros, cons, cost to convert etc.)

i had email from the forum admin asking to join the club and post local gas price. with me being a smartass, you guys ever heard of site called gasbuddy? gives prices for any area in the country, so why bother?
http://www.gasbuddy.com/
it's around 3 40 to 3 50 in seattle metro. regular.
if you want to keep bitching about gas prices, keep buying gas guzzlers and keep buying gas. it'll get better. why i bought one? cuz i am being reimbursed for mileage. one and only reason.
there's only one, and only one way to drop the price on ANYTHING. stop buying. as far as you buy - they'll jag the price up to tolerance, then tolerance becomes norm, and they'll jag it up again. you don't buy - prices go down. can't help, it is as simple as 2 x 2=4.
by the way, 800 miles on tankful for suburban? at 20 miles to a gallon? it has a 40 gallon tank? GM almighty..... like i said - keep buying. it'll get better.


First of all some of us have a need for the gas guzzlers that we drive. Besides you're a bigger offender simply by an irresponsible standpoint. You drive a gas guzzler by choice only because you don't pay for your own gas. So in fact it's people like you who are hurting the situation. If you have a better reason for driving one such as an "actual need" please say so. Otherwise keep your "Smartass" comments to yourself if you have nothing reasonable to say. Or at least think before you type.

People keep trying to get a day boycott going. Truth is, gas is delivered weekly or bi-weekly and a day really isn't very effective because people will buy the same amount of gas, either a day earlier or later. What really needs to happen is a long term boycott of a specific company. Pick the highest profitting company and boycott them for several months. That would hurt. After the first company boycott is over, move to the next highest in profit, and so on. Oil companies may not be able to do much about foreign oil prices, but you can bet that when it hit their pocket books they'd resolve the issue. You'd see more alcohol/ethanol/whatever investment immediately. Look at Brazil. They export almost all of their oil, because they use synthetic. It amazes me that a third world country is that far ahead of the US.

GM is investing billions into Ethanol plants to try and lower or at least stabilize gas prices. I saw an interview with the CEO where he was talking about SUV profit carrying the company and having to invest in Ethanol because the oil companies did not care about gas prices. He said GM is selling lots of cars, but losing SUV sales due to the high gas prices, and therefore losing the bottom line profit. He said people were blasting him for investing in Ethanol, but that if gas prices continued to rise he could not sell cars.

Your right that would be the kind of strategy needed to whoop some oil company butt. Problem is getting everybody on side, including all States and Canada. Then you'd have an oil executive melt down. It's hard to get everybody doing it though, there inlies the problem.

I agree fully, that's what I said in a different post in this "Fuel Discussions" forum. Going after the highest profit Oil Company for gouging on the #1 most used consumer commodity in the world makes sense.

:mad: In boston ,MA now It,s 3.09 per gallon

[KD7ONE]

Go-go juice went up to 3.16/gallon here in Billings, MT today.

[GM_Guy]

a couple of stations here went up 20 cents from 3.14 to 3.34

yeah, they planned these refinery shutdowns alright.......

[KD7ONE]

I don't know how effective this is, but I remember reading that a good way to fight high gas prices is to only buy gas from gas stations that get gas from local American oil companies instead of the Big international oil companies like Exxon, Texaco, etc.

jeez i read the first page and some ppl were paying 1.85 - 2.00 now i jumped to the last page and over the time it took to create 23 pages of this thread its jumped to 3.00-3.15!!! i just filled up my silverado 145$ CDN for 94 octane i think it was like 1.19/litre. i remember when i was stilll a wee little lad and started paying attn to money and seeing gas prices at about 0.55-0.65 and like 65 cents was like really bad. the increase is unbelieveable! And to the post about ethanol, i was gonna purchase the 5.3L flex but for me it would be absolutely pointless considering there is no ethanol gas stations in Ontario, and i think theres like 3 in all of Canada! so why does gm even bother selling them in Canada.

Make your own E85 that’s a possibility:party:
