How much is gas where you are?

[trish]

I live in Norwalk, CT

I've been buying exclusively at the Shell station and I use V-Power. I believe that's their highest octane. I paid $2.54 on June 29th and yesterday the price was up to $2.67. Today it's $2.69.

What are the gas prices in your area? It's gotta be higher on the west coast.

[theunions]

$2.46 and climbing for 87 octane at my neighborhood 76 beyond the west coast.

[RacinM3]

Rapidly approaching $3.00

[Robstar]

$1.25/Litre for 98 RON

[TKGAngel]

$2.35/gallon for unleaded at the Mobil by my work, $2.14/gallon on the Indian reservation.

[dando]

$2.39 for 87, $2.49 for 89, and $2.61 for VPower here in Cbus. Not looking forward to the gas bill for our 9-hour drive to OCNJ in 2 weeks. :(

[Night Train]

Paid $2.12 per gallon for the cheap stuff in Burlington, NC yesterday. THere was a line 3 deep at each pump. $2.21 per gallon for the low grade stuff here in Charlotte.

[racer2c]

$2.25 in Spring Hill Florida. Up from $2.12 where it stalled for two months.

[Tifosi24]

$2.20 a gallon for 87 Octane here in Mankato. I should have filled up five days ago because it was only $2.05 then. I saw $2.12 a gallon in Iowa yesterday, but that was for the subsidized 89 octane with 10% ethanol. I don't see prices going anywhere in the near future, and my guess is that the city will have to put extra locks on the gas pumps if prices get over 2.25, which is the absolute highest I have seen in my four years there.

[Dr. Corkski]

$2.much a gallon.

[Sean O'Gorman]

I paid $2.29 last Thurs, I think I saw $2.33 today.

Doesn't bug me, anything under $3,00 is fine.

[indyfan31]

Hit $2.45 for 87 octane in Santa Fe Springs, CA.

[pchall]

$2.45 a gallon for 89 octane in SW Ohio.

The first summer job I had was pumping gas at the corner Sunoco. If memory serves, 190 went for $0.27 and 240 for $0.34.

[Wally]

Cheapest diesel in town is at 2.39........ :shakehead

[trish]

I don't usually worry too much about gas prices, but a $0.15 increase in 12 days seemed kind of excessive. My boss was telling me that his home heating oil will increase by $100 a month if he renews with his current supplier. That's a lot of money.

[Lizzerd]

Here in Indy, it seems to depend on what day you put gas in your car. For the last year or more, the price could go up or down as much as 20 cents a day or more. I'm not kidding. And all the stations in the area where I live pretty much follow suit quickly.

For instance, I could fill up and pay $2.20. The next day, it could be $2.05. Two days later, it could be $2.30. Then two days later, $2.02. Today, I think, it was $2.22.

[Wingnut]

.98/L right now. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. :saywhat:

[trauma1]

2.39 to 2.40 in milwaukee, som bitches profits are sure rising aoholes

[Mark521]

$2.39 for 87, $2.49 for 89, and $2.61 for VPower here in Cbus. Not looking forward to the gas bill for our 9-hour drive to OCNJ in 2 weeks. :(

-Kevin

Paid $2.42/gal for 89 octane here in Southern NJ (Mount Laurel).

Ah Ocean City, NJ, spent plenty of summer vacation there as a kid.

[KLang]

2.37 and 2.45 for V-Power at couple stations I went by this morning just west of Houston. The two stations are about 2 miles apart, the one charging 2.45 has no other station within a mile. The other has four competing stations with a couple blocks. I usually fill up at the one currently charging 2.37. I'm not looking forward to the next time I half to fill up the X5 :saywhat: .

[chop456]

Diesel $2.49

Regglar $2.34

[Wheel-Nut]

I paid $2.33 in my neighborhood for 89 octane, no competing stations but beer is $10 a 12 pack!! Fairfield, 290 and Mason. FM 2920 and FM 2978, just east of Tomball 89 was going for $2.45.

I haven't hit $40 a fill up yet in my Tacoma but by the end of the summer I'm sure it will happen.

The two stations I'm talking about are in the Pecan Grove area of Richmond.

I hit $50 one time back in the spring on the SUV, not completely surprised but I did do a double take at the pump.

[Dirty Sanchez]

just under 3 bucks for 93 octane

[Wabbit]

$2.33 - 87
$2.43 - 89
$2.53 - 92
$2.49 - Diesel

I live in one of the cheaper areas for gas. Bellevue is about $2.49 for 87.

[Gnam]

$2.89 for 87 octane in downtown San Francisco (that's the most expensive in the city btw)

[Ozarkian]

$2.30 for 87 octane in Overland Park, Kansas. If it goes up much more, I'm going to have to start short-shifting the Corolla ...

[RusH]

About 2.25 in Tampa Bay.

Oil drives up inflation, so if you are not worried about the cost of delivering goods to market, you must have a good job that gives you raises monthly.
Mr.O :confused:

[cart7]

$2.24 here in St. Louis this AM. Fuel prices are killing this economy. :flame:

[Steve99]

$2.27 for 87 octane yesterday, didn't notice today.

[Audi_A4]

$0.95 per litre here ... I have to use premium so it costs around $1.06 per litre

[dando]

Paid $2.42/gal for 89 octane here in Southern NJ (Mount Laurel).

Ah Ocean City, NJ, spent plenty of summer vacation there as a kid.
Yeah, but you got full service with dat fillup. :)

The wife unit's family has been vacationing there for 30+ years. It's a good place for a family vacation, and Valtaco's is Italian food for the gods. None of the touristy trap stuff like Cape May, and none of the trash like AC...plus, it's convenient to AC for a quick trip to a casino if ya choose (I don't). :thumbup: :thumbup:

-Kevin

[trish]

I checked another Shell station today and the V-Power was $2.79. Needless to say I used the lowest octane instead which was priced at $2.57. I'll have to see if my regular Shell station raised their price also. I'd imagine they did since both are strategically located near I-95.

[KaBoom21]

$2.69 for 93 octane Mobil in Chicago on Saturday.

[JLMannin]

2.16 (with my $0.02 customer loyalty discount) for 87 octane in Lafayette, IN. Like Indy, the price could be $0.20 higher tomorrow, only to drop again in a few days.

[pchall]

I don't usually worry too much about gas prices, but a $0.15 increase in 12 days seemed kind of excessive. My boss was telling me that his home heating oil will increase by $100 a month if he renews with his current supplier. That's a lot of money.

Your post makes me want to find the phone number of my sophomore year Micro Economics prof and remind him that he rejected my essay suggesting that gasoline demand always would be inelastic as to price.

:rofl:

[Jag_Warrior]

$2.38/gallon for 93 octane near Bristol VA/TN.

[JLMannin]

I know that gas prices spiked up sharply in the 1980's, but I cannot remember the year and I am too lazy to look it up. What year was it?

[dando]

Hit $2.55 for 87 here in Ohiya. :saywhat:

Here's a pic from Pasadena:

[Gnam]

87 Regular jumped 4 cents overnight to $2.71 up here in the sticks. Down in San Francisco it's closer to $2.91 for the go juice.

[Sean O'Gorman]

I saw $2.49 last night, hope it isn't more now. I haven't had to fill up in a week and a half, it was $2.05 last time I did, but I'm near E.

[Michaelhatesfans]

Don't worry guys, we're going to start giving big breaks to the oil companies, and no doubt that they will be passing the savings along to us! :thumbup:








Oops, careful you don't slip in that big pool of sarcasm there.

[Michaelhatesfans]

I mean, those poor oil companies, surely the higher costs are hurting them as well. We have to pay more because they have to pay more. That's how it works, right? Everyone comes out pretty much even?

[Dirty Sanchez]

3.09 for 93 at the BP last night. expect it to hit $3.50 by the end of summer.

[KLang]

I paid 2.55 for V-Power this morning. Sucks but it beats walking.

[The Doctor]

El cheapo 87 was $2.34 this morning.

[G.]

$2.45-9/10 at the cheapo station out in the stix.

[Wabbit]

87 octane
$2.49 yesterday morning
$2.53 yesterday afternoon
$2.57 this morning
$2.61 this afternoon

tomorrow ?????

Luckily I filled up yesterday morning, and the Suburban Tuesday night.

[Robstar]

A$1.25/L :thumdown:

[Ankf00]

2.60'ish...

[Classic Apex]

$2.21 for 89 octane.

[Brickman]

$3.19 for diesel today. Riverside California.

That's not the bad thing, going 5th Wheeling in the Sierras this weekend. Nothing like towing around 31' and 12,000 lbs when prices are high.

I'm not complaining because I anticipate that gas will be in the $3.00 range before too long on a regular basis. Our family has 3 four cylinder cars, including 1 hybrid, 1 six cylinder, and the big diesel truck. It's not like people should be clueless about gas and prices after one oil embargo and two wars on oil rich land.

[chop456]

$2.42 & 48mpg

Plan Ahea
d. :p

[Ankf00]

what's everyone's actual (not projected) mpg? I'm getting 32 these days...

[KLang]

My TL gets 22 for my daily commute which is a mix of highway and city.

I also like to get up to speed quickly which I'm sure doesn't help. :D

[Dirty Sanchez]

~18

I'll be getting closer to 8 this weekend. vroom, vroom :p

[JLMannin]

26 mpg (city driving) in my 98 Saturn SL1

[Wabbit]

My RSX gets about 30.

[Ankf00]

crapus: what'd you replace the Audi with? or did you?

[G.]

$2.45-9/10 at the cheapo station out in the stix.$2.55 this AM, same station. 87 octane.

That half-full gas can in the garage is my nestegg baby! Bought in at $1.83 a gallon. While you all are whinin and moanin, Ima gonna cash in, ca-ching ca-ching for more bling bling, beyoches!


(financial advice available for a fee)


:gomer:

Subby Outback gets 22. Mostly highway-ish. Four banger.

[Dirty Sanchez]

crapus: what'd you replace the Audi with? or did you?Audi is teh thirsty! its got 8 cylinders and I'm usin' 'em all :cool:

[dando]

what's everyone's actual (not projected) mpg? I'm getting 32 these days...
My onboard shows ~23 (mostly city) for my E36. It was ~26 before I reprogrammed it and added a cold air intake. The weight of my foot doesn't help that either. :D

[Tifosi24]

Gas here in Des Moines is running 2.36 for 89 Octane and 2.46 for good old 87 octane. I have been getting upper 20s on the highway in my 90 Chevy Lumina which isn't bad for a giant non-aerodynamic piece of steel. My mileage will increase dramatically once I get to Milwaukee. I love my bicycles.

89 is cheaper than 87?? I've never seen that before.

[KLang]

Ethenol tax break. At least that was the case when I lived in Des Moines.

[KLang]

I paid 2.55 for V-Power this morning. Sucks but it beats walking.

On my way home tonight this same station was at 2.67. <sigh>

[TKGAngel]

Gas today for 87 was anywhere from 2.45 - 2.49 gallon.

My 2001 Neon gets about 26 mpg, with a mix of city and highway driving, and 26 mi. is about one way of my commute to work.

[skaven]

Gas is free in my company owned 4wd truck (also free insurance, maintenance, etc.). :p

Every other employee in the company drives an Impala, but I hyped the snow hazards in the mountains and got an extended cab Chevy Colorado which is very handy during the weekends. :cool:

[Ankf00]

so you're taking me skiing eh? nice. :D

[Sean O'Gorman]

Filled up at $2.39 today, and I get about 32-35 MPG.

[cart7]

$2.58 this morning. Stopped at a station that hadn't changed yet and got it for 2.34. Price back down to $2.54 this afternoon. :flame:

[Classic Apex]

Jumped from $2.21 to $2.31 for the 89 today.

[oddlycalm]

Sucks but it beats walking. Yeah, but the real question is for how long? Considering what I've seen in most countries that have had $3-$4 gallon fuel for a long time, life becomes considerably different for those lacking a bottomless wallet.


$1.25/Litre for 98 RON Is that Oz dollars or USD? If it's Oz dollars, that's equal to $3.65 UDD per US gallon. If you already converted to USD it's 4.73 per gallon. Either way, you win in this dicussion... :D

oc

[dando]

Managed to fill up w/87 for $2.30 w/$.10 discount before our drive to Cleveburg yesterday. Saw a station on 83 between Lido and Avon Lake w/87 for $2.69. :eek: Most stations were @ $2.55 along the way, w/a few in the $2.40s.

-Kevin

[KLang]

12 bucks to fill up my gas can this morning.

The John Deere gets about 1 acre per gallon. ;)

[TurboTodd]

$2.49 a gallon this morning in Ft. Worth.. 87 octane.

Mustang gets semi-decent milage, glad my commute is only 2 miles. Wife's commute is 20 miles of highway, and her Protege 5 gets around 30 on the highway, so we're in good shape currently.

I have currently abandoned my search for a truck/SUV however.

After checking an australian website for prices there, they're paying USD$3.65/ gallon. Where I'm from its about USd$5/gallon , in the UK its about $6.20/gallon.

The difference in the prices is the tax levied on the fuel. Car journies are relatively short here, and there isnt the necessity to run air conditioning in the cars either.

[DaveL]

I live and work in the NW 'burbs of Chicago. When I drove to work Wednesday morning the sign at the station 1/2 mile from my house said 2.42 for 87. When I drove home it said 2.62. Right now it's at 2.72.

2.25-2.30 is looking pretty good these days :cry:

[dando]

Spiked to $2.69/$2.65 for 87 this AM in Cbus. :( I managed to top off w/89 for $2.59. :)

$2.69 about an hour ago.

$2.63 yesterday, $2.78 today. The cheapo station. As I drove by, I didn't see in time that the station across the street still had $2.64. They didn't price match yet. Bummer.

87 octane.

Way too much. Thankfully I get to walk to work. It's a mile-and-a-half, but it's a nice walk.

[KLang]

My usual station has been at 2.74 for premium for the last week and a half or so. The owner told me this morning he expects another increase due to Katrina entering the gulf.

[trish]

I paid $2.53 for 87 at Shell yesterday, but I only got the tank to half full. When I went to fill it up this morning it was $2.63. :(

[Chitowncartfreak]

$2.79 this afternoon when I filled up in Lincolnshire, IL - hurricane hasn't driven prices up yet.

[dando]

$2.62ish here in Cbus....I've seen it range from $2.53-$2.64 over the past two days. I'll wager it's @ least $2.75 by Labor Day here. $3 will be right around the corner if the refineries are offline for more than a few days. :(

Up to 2.87 this morning at that same station. I bet it's 3.00 by the weekend.

Might be about time to invest in some oil company stocks. ;)

[Ankf00]

$3.00 in the DFW mfr's

I say Texas keeps its own refinery products. The rest of y'all can deal with not having your own refineries. :p
