Gas Price Survey

[01Motorsport]

Gas price biatch forum. We're as helpless as a turtle lying on his back, but hey... My Dak's commercial mileage is 29K/year, so every gas buck is big. I've been the 4-banger route before; no thanks. I'll sink or swim with my 20 mpg RC.
Today in Knoxville: $2.93/87 octane. $2.59/87 one month ago.
(K-town is home to Pilot Oil, who own 50% of the truck stops in the USA.)

Hey dude your paying good prices where you are!!!! Here in Los Angeles I'm paying currently $3.20/gallon. Heck with the brand get gas as cheap as you can. It's going up fast so expect prices in the mid $3.50 range by Christmas.
You might consider getting that 4 banger back.

Adding 20 cents/gallon in 4 days, we'll catch up :funny: The "4 banger" was a Dodge mini van with 100HP that got 22 mpg, only 2 more than my V-8 Dak. 5-speed manual on both vehicles. East Tennessee hills and mountains overwork little motors...unless your payload=zero.

There's a station around here that doesn't even add Ethanol, and sometimes has water/shit in the tank. It's the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. I'd rather pay 20cents more a gallon than what it costs to replace a motor.

[Montana Dodge]

93.9 cents/litre here in CAD, or $3.81/gal in USD. ($1 CAD = $1.07 USD)

It's the other way around, man. $1 USD = $1.07 CAD. SAD!

$2.98 85.5
$3.06 88
$3.14 91

[Jacked UP Rango]

3.13 on Long Island, New York

[IowaSQ]

3.05 for 87....

prices are finally going up now due to heating costs associated with the unusually warm oct. for most of the country.........they'll level off within another dime or so until after the first of the year(end of the fiscal quarter for the conspiracy crowd)...then you can expect prices to go up an additional 75-85cents/gal....basically up an entire dollar from now til spring....and once it does, don't expect it to ever get back down bellow 3.60-75..

bookmark this thread and come back in six months to see how scary correct this is. hopefully i'm wrong.

Just filled up $3.03 premium but thats Chevron so its more than other places ..but i only use Chevron

[Montana Dodge]

It may have been that way at one time, but right now:

Don't know where you found that, but everything I looked up yesterday and today says it is about 1.07 to 1.10 the other way. Yes, Martha, the Canadian Dollar IS worth more than the US Dollar.

I live very close to the border, and we are already seeing the tourists coming down. Actually have a few families that will be moving to town here because they can live here cheaper now. And the businesses around here are laughing because before they wouldn't take Canadian coins, but now when they take them, they are making money.

no the CAD is almost .10 more than the US..

Yep, that's what I've read.

[project_dog]

Washington is about $3.26

[J_D]

Cheapest today here was $3.35 :(

[DAKSPORT1PA]

Filled up the Jeep on Saturday and paid $2.87 a gal. Filled up the truck today and it was up to $2.94 a gal. Thats for the cheap stuff. If you can call any of this cheap anymore. I had a quarter tank of gas left when I filled up the truck. It took 18 gallons and cost me 53.40. I remember in 99 or 2000 when I was paying $0.99 a gallon for the good stuff. This fuckin sucks. For the most part I try not to look at the price. I need it so I just pump it pay and leave. If I think about it too much it pisses me off. Its not really gonna help so why bother. Only thing I keep holding onto is that I have yet to ever pay $3.00 a gal. I'm sure that streak will end soon enough.

3.21/gal for gasoline (87 octane) and diesel is $3.54/gal for low sulfur and $3.68/gal for Ultra Low Sulfur. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

"Funny" thing is, I can remember plain as day riding in the car with my dad around 1973 or so (I was 8 or 9 years old) and he was all upset because the sign at the gas station showed $.40/gallon! When I was in high school we all got pissed because it went up to $1.01 (around 1981-1982). Sounds cheap, but don't forget the average yearly income was a whole lot lower then too. That isn't meant to sound like I'm defending the prices of gas now, I think they suck bad. Although, if the price went up the same percentage as everything else has in the last 50 years gas would be close to $8.00/gallon. I'm so glad my new job is less than a mile from home!

[aspen79]

Filled 'er up this morning. $3.09/gallon is the going rate around here (give or take a cent or two). Last week it was under $3.00 ($2.99/gal) but only for one day. I'm going to piss you younger guys off now. When I was in high school, gas was somewhere between 89 and 99 cents a gallon (got my licence in 1980). Of course, I made minimum wage then also which was $2.65/hr so gas still seemed expensive to us. I also remember sitting in the passenger seat and my dad looking up and seeing that gas was up to 40 cents/gal and commenting that the price was getting ridiculous (around 1972 or 1973 I think). At least we can get gas anytime, any day and wherever we want these days. I remember sitting in the back seat while we waited in line to get gas on our alloted day (odds and evens), then could only get a certain amount as it was rationed. Damn Arab's and OPEC oil embargo's anyways.

I'm not saying I like to pay $3.09/gal for gasoline, but if you look at the price in 1925 (about 23 cents a gallon) and increased the price the same percentage as everything else it would be roughly $8.00/gal now. Actually, at 23 cents a gallon, when the average yearly income was something like $1,200 a year, gas is technically cheaper now than it used to be. Sometimes you have to try and see the bright side of things that suck.

[Little Blue Guy]

I remember pumping gas for .25 cents a gallon...price went up to .35 cents..people got violent....

[TazRango]

Jumped 35 cents overnight here. Why? Some douchewad CEO probably needed a new solid gold shitter. Last month, diesel jumped almost $1 a gallon to $4.30 in less than a week. Now. Explain to me, because I get told I'm stupid whenever I bring this up.. If you get 5 times as much diesel out of a barrel of oil as you do gasoline, (since diesel is a BYPRODUCT of the refining process), how in the name of Zeus' BUTTHOLE can it be almost $1 more expensive than premium unleaded? From what I understand, the ultra low sulfur processing adds a few cents a gallon, as do the taxes. But the cost of the sulfur processing and the taxes didn't go up. Sooooooo what gives?

WHY are we not opening price gouging investigations?? And don't give me the bullshit "Because Bush is an oil guy" line from the left, because it's not true and I'm sick of hearing it. Just like I'm sick of hearing we're in Iraq for the free oil, because if we're taking all this free oil, why the fuck are we paying $4 a gallon for gas?

[mlobitz]

You're stupid... Sorry, I had to. I have no idea, but if you need help kicking a few asses I'm in it to win it!

[aspen79]

Well, a gallon of 87 octane gasoline will cost you $3.44 at pretty much every station around here (give or take a couple cents). Diesel is $4.31 per gallon with Premium diesel going for $4.55/gal. Just got the word at work that the price per liter (Audi/VW dealer, everything's done in metric) of conventional oil is going up almost $1.00 while the synthetic is staying the same.

There's a station a few blocks from my house that sells 110 octane racing fuel (off-road only/not road taxed) is $6.50 a gallon now. For reference, in Wisconsin the total for federal and state tax per gallon of gasoline is 49.8 cents a gallon, which means the government makes more per gallon than the oil company does yet they (the gov't) seem to never mention that little fact, do they?!

I feel extremely lucky to live so close to work these days. Filled the Dakota up last Friday evening, when I got home tonight the trip odometer showed a grand total of 27 miles since fill up. I can only imagine what an impact the fuel prices have on those that have to commute miles and miles to work or school everyday (especially to a student or someone just starting out in their chosen carreer).

Not meaning to piss anyone off but, I still remember sitting in the passenger seat and hearing my dad (after looking up at the gas price sign) and seeming kind of irritated as he said "gas went up again, now it's 40 cents a gallon". I was around 9 or 10 years old and the time was the '73-'74 oil embargo by OPEC. Just think, it's only gone up by $3.00/gallon in the last 30 odd years. Could have been worse I suppose. If it went up the same percentage as the price of everything else it would be like $9.00 a gallon by now. Yes I know, that doesn't help any does it?

[Rob454]

Orange county today and Al today

Gas today was 1.17/L ..... that's $4.41/Gal so you can all STFU


Eh?:stirthepo

[Gsled]

For every 10 mph over 60mph it costs the eqevilant of 54 cents per gallon extra because of wind drag

[aspen79]

Yep, a couple weeks ago I went to the Chicago suburbs for Audi training and they gave me a VW Passat to drive (1.8T/auto) and the instant mpg display showed around 36mpg@55mph, 33@65mph. In the SLOW lane of I90 near Chicago I was going 85mph to stay with traffic (those people are freakin' nuts!) and it showed 21mpg@85mph. So, to go an additional 20 mph over 65 dropped economy by 12mpg. A 1.8T takes premium fuel on top of all that. I always wonder when you see someone with a large SUV pulling a camper and going 80 mph, then they complain about gas prices. Go figure.

[myrtlebeachbst]

Something needs to be done, The way the economy is now, There is probably no such thing as your kids moving out on their own at 18, If nothing is done it will be more like 30 before they can afford to take care of them selves, I don't understand our Government knows what they are doing to us and they just turn their head and act like everything is just fine

[Fluffy]

They just raised all the Speed Limits around here for the most part.. and they're worried about gas. :jerkit:

Everyone was praising for the higher limits too. Now that gas is higher, they don't want them. :jester:

[WarrensD]

But, it's a longer lap around our island...:funny:Valid point.

[01Motorsport]

Valid point.Just a little tug on yer chain :D
You're cool. :onethumb:

[01Motorsport]

New bitchin: $3.63/87 yesterday, $4.49-4.59/87 today.
Don't like Ike. The pipeline here is 100% Gulf of Mexico. The gas stations say that the CONSUMERS are creating a shortage. However, one local TV station removed the plastic bag blocking the 87 octane handle at a Conoco station, and GUESS WHAT...they pumped $42 into their vehicle!! 93 octane wasn't "blocked".
Oh, the crooks among us....

[Fluffy]

It was 3.69 here yesterday, it's up to 4.29-4.49 now. It's a crock of shit. I read someone most places are only accepting cash. Enjoy the robberies, assholes.

[Rigeldust]

No gas to buy so... :nana:

[trevor]

143.9 (Canadian cents per liter) = 5.14907644 U.S. dollars per US gallon :wah:

[schaffer]

Yesterday when i left my house it was 3.49 at the gas station at the bottom of the hill where i live.I came home around 1-130 and the woman said wow its up already.....3.69 ...in 12 hours

[jplinville]

Jumped 35 cents overnight here. Why? Some douchewad CEO probably needed a new solid gold shitter. Last month, diesel jumped almost $1 a gallon to $4.30 in less than a week. Now. Explain to me, because I get told I'm stupid whenever I bring this up.. If you get 5 times as much diesel out of a barrel of oil as you do gasoline, (since diesel is a BYPRODUCT of the refining process), how in the name of Zeus' BUTTHOLE can it be almost $1 more expensive than premium unleaded? From what I understand, the ultra low sulfur processing adds a few cents a gallon, as do the taxes. But the cost of the sulfur processing and the taxes didn't go up. Sooooooo what gives?

WHY are we not opening price gouging investigations?? And don't give me the bullshit "Because Bush is an oil guy" line from the left, because it's not true and I'm sick of hearing it. Just like I'm sick of hearing we're in Iraq for the free oil, because if we're taking all this free oil, why the fuck are we paying $4 a gallon for gas?

Ill add a spin nobody has thought of...They raised the minimum wage not too long ago and everything has gone up because of it. $1.00 menu items at the golden arches, all groceries, etc...It has caused the cost of labor to go up. and those with higher paying jobs didn't benefit from a raise because of it.

Now, if you are talking about diesel, you have to factor in the cost of making the fuel burn cleaner with decreased amounts of sulfur and other chemicals.

Recent jumps in price are attributed to hurrican season being here.

If the federal government were to allow us to build a few new refineries, cost would drop per gallon of fuel...we haven't had a new one built in the last 30 years due to environemental concerns.

[ColoDak]

thankfully I'm on a staycation this next week, have 3/4 tank in the Dak. and 3/4 in the Audi, don't need to go any place til Monday and then only to the dealer and to run errands. Won't need gas in either one until the middle of the week.

Once the Hurricane clears out, they expect to get some production up and running by Tuesday, we should see drops by weeks end.

[TomP]

I filled up at 3.79 yesterday and this morning at my usual stop it is 4.29.

[Y2KOTA]

3.61 last night, 3.89 this am!

[DarksideJedi]

Same station:

Two days ago - $3.64

Yesterday - $4.19

Today $4.39

Also posted on another board that I passed 3 stations at 1 intersection. 2 of them were $4.29 and the other was $4.79. That is the highest I have seen here in NC so far.

[timboy]

$3.57 in upstate NewYork and it has been the same for weeks no change yet....

[charger_340]

We were at 3.57/gallon a couple days ago, now 3.79

[ColoDak]

[lou lemons]

[clint282cc]

[01Motorsport]

4.99/87 in Knoxville, TN today, 3.99/87 in LaFollette (up I-75 North to KY) yesterday.

[aspen79]

Wednesday $3.63, Thursday $3.79, Friday $3.99. Haven't been out at all since Friday evening but I heard it hasn't changed since then. Shoot me now, but I'm lucky to only drive 25-30 a week so don't normally pay much attention to gas prices. Yeah i know.........shut up, right?

[ColoDak]

While we are all crying about gas prices here and in Canada, fellow Audi owner was in Europe, he took the Euro delivery option on his car so he just got back from 10 days while waiting for the car to ship over. He paid on average $7.50 per gallon for premium unleaded, the most he paid $8.60 the lowest $7.00. Guess we can all be thankful we aren't to that point, yet.

[salarguy]

Canada could be at that point next week!

[b2™]

3.99 for 87 Last I looked here and that was Friday.

[03'Dakota]

3.59 Cash 3.69 anything else in Vernon and tolland CT yesterday

[Fluffy]

Oil is currently at 94.18 a barrel. I bet we never see that at the pump.

[clint282cc]

gas is like 75 cents in Venezuela

[Fluffy]

That's the price you pay to hate Americans. :banana2:

[larstrak]

$3.95 here in kalamazoo, mi. but i don't care. $4.74 gets me 100 miles or so

[ColoDak]

Oil is currently at 94.18 a barrel. I bet we never see that at the pump.

Oil close at $95.15, 3 to 6 weeks we should see gas under $3.00 for reg. unleaded in most parts of the country is the prediction. I called for oil under $100.00 last Monday, I said it would be there by Friday, I was only off by a couple of days.

Heating oil, Brent N. Sea Crude, Nat. Gas, and Unleaded are all down.

[DarksideJedi]

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper has sent subpoenas to seven gasoline retailers who reportedly charged as much as $7.32 a gallon for regular fuel last week.

Cooper told a news conference Monday afternoon that more subpoenas are being prepared and that retailers will have 10 days to explain why their prices went so high.

The seven targeted in the first round of subpoenas were cited for charging more than $5.49 a gallon for fuel. Subpoenas went to gas stations in Anson, Ashe, Cherokee, Guilford, Montgomery, Stanly and Transylvania counties.

Don't get your hopes up. There're already speculators running their mouths of how we'll never see the under 100 at the pumps. These people should be sniped.

[Fluffy]

BTW - If you need gas, I would recommend filling up tonight. A friend of mine runs a station. Their cost is already 50cents under what they're charging and it's going up 30 cents tomorrow. So it'll either stay the same or boost 50 more cents... :waiting:

Heres one excuse :jerkit::

When crude oil prices were at their peak a month ago, oil producers were raking in money, but prices were so high that gas stations couldn't pass along the full cost, said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst for the Oil Price Information Service.

The average mark-up for retailers nationwide was 11 cents per gallon, and of that 11 cents, as much as 5 to 8 cents went to credit card companies for processing costs, Kloza said.

Now the station owners are keeping prices from falling to make a profit, he said.

I hear it'll be over $2.15 here in the next couple days. It already went up .30 the other day. I'm sure they'll blame it on the Gaza Saga or some cow farted and blocked a pipe.

They just want more money. Everything and anything else is just excuses or reasons we should pay up...

[b2™]

[ColoDak]

reg. unleaded around here seems to be varying from $1.49 to $1.59 and premium between $1.69 to $1.89. I'm expecting the price to start rising in another 2 months.
