Humor me with your gas prices.

[Lmcfalcon12]

Today it hit $3.75 across the street from my work. Outrageous. But I'm not going to sit and whine and drag it out, because I know there is someone here on the West coast paying $4.00 + per gallon. Humor me. If you want to keep this topic going, I'd be interested to see what the gas prices are in a week...or two.

[AzureShadow]

I was in San Diego last week and it was only at $3.60. In southern NH it's ranging $3.40 to $3.55

It's getting to an all-time high around here, but I know it's worse in Europe.

[Sandrock149]

3.45 from where i am

[Assarax]

I hear that in about 2 months, the price of gas out here in the midwest will shoot to about $7.00 a gallon... ugh.

[ShadowPhoenix]

$3.55 in mid-Kansas. I'll have to start biking again.

[Lincongrad]

3.95$ just south of SF.

[Imperial]

About $3.70 in Los Angeles.

[Lmcfalcon12]

I hear that in about 2 months, the price of gas out here in the midwest will shoot to about $7.00 a gallon... ugh.

I heard that too. It just seems way to high though. I think the government will eventually do something to fix it. Hopefully before it goes that high.

[Sir Hobo]

3.69 out here in western pennsylvania

[Great Lakes Union]

$3.89 at one station just outside of Lansing, MI :/
$3.79 at all the others...

[michaeru]

And now, some more humor: €1.40 in Someplace, Western Germany. ;)

Then again, it's litres, not gallons here. So I figure there's no real difference.

(just convert to metric already)

[jacosby]

3.49 in Dallas, gotta love having refineries close

[Sinatra]

10 bucks a gallon baby, gotta love the British tax system.

[Assarax]

10 bucks a gallon baby, gotta love the British tax system.

Pwnt. That is all.

[Saloon Simon]

just over NZ$2 dollars a litre

[Arcadian Empire]

LOL!

Look how much you guys are paying.

$0.64 a litre here in Australia (I'm guessing $1.80 a gallon?)

=)

[Lmcfalcon12]

You bastard. I don't think in the three years I've owned my car that I have gotten the pleasure of paying less than $1.90/ gallon. Enjoy it while it lasts. At least you guys have a government who's keeping things in control.

[Melidan]

Around $3.75 in the Chicago burbs.

[Colonel Scorpion]

I'd guess it to be around 1.5 euros a liter, in Finland

[Villalba]

50 cents per gallon. Caracas xD

[Great Lakes Union]

$3.98 one place today :/

[The Corporal]

$3.65 on Monday, $3.75 yesterday, $3.85 today.

[Imperial]

This isn't humorous at all, its depressing!

[ShadowPhoenix]

This isn't humorous at all, its depressing!
Agreed.

The only real satisfaction I get from them is that eventually the gas suppliers will have all of my money, and I'll stop buying gas.

I know! Let's all just start biking everywhere. $50 at Wal-Mart will get you a decent enough bike, if you don't have one.

[Sandman]

I won't be too detailed with the gas prices,

This is why I love Kuwait, To fill up my jeep it would cost me about $15, if i took my jeep to the US it would cost me about $180....Big difference eh? :psyduck:

[King Seifer Almasy]

yeah over where we get our oil from its only 25 30 cents a gallon
$3.75
on station in town is almost 4 bucks
west virginia btw

That's a noble idea, but I really don't want to have to bike the 300 miles it takes to get to my parent's house or the 30 miles I had to drive every morning and every afternoon in high school...

[Lady_Aberdeen]

I think it really sucks, cos we bought ourselves a diesel and as we bought the car in January (this year), we paid 1,20 € pro L., now we paid 1,42€ pro L. only 4 months later
It used to be cheap...Now you have ta be rockafella

[Lmcfalcon12]

I'm thinking I'm going to clean out my car, fill its tank and then roll it into the backyard for the summer and start riding my bike.

[Melidan]

Jumped up to $3.87 today.. shit.

[Iron Wolf]

I live opposite side of the water from Seattle. Thursday it was $3.89 in Seattle, $3.49 in Bremerton (work vs home). I just put a little over 5 gallons in the car before work, cost me $20. It went up to $3.79 at my home, and out of morbid curiosity I'll see what Seattle's prices are in the morning.

F*ck the car, I'm getting a damned bike. $8 for the ferry to/from SEattle, then about a 40 mile bike ride to work. At least I will still be able to afford to get my kids something to eat.

[Arcadian Empire]

Wal-mart...

It's called Wal-mart?!

I always thought it was Whale-mart....

But in 6 months you'll have to cut back to eating nothing but oatmeal because the food will be so damn expensive. It's a lose-lose situation.

[Lmcfalcon12]

I went on Gasbuddy.com and the highest gas in the country I could find was $5.16 /gal in Death Valley.

[Izubibbywutz]

back to eating dirt for me!!!

[Great Lakes Union]

See, I am so glad I only put 6 miles on my jeep a day... :D

[Great Lakes Union]

Average in my area just went to $3.99 :(

[Lmcfalcon12]

$3.89 as of like 11 this morning. (Cleve. OH area).

[The Corporal]

Good thing I don't live in Death Valley, even though it just went up to $3.95 a gallon here.

[Lmcfalcon12]

3.69 out here in western pennsylvania

Don't worry. It'll hike about 0.14 before the day is done. :eusa_boohoo:

I agree, bycicling will get us nowhere. It will only weakened our economy, sience i hardly doubt anyone is going to shipped brand made goods from New York to California on a bycicle.

[DarkNoble]

3.69 for the cheap stuff

[darkdemon1]

$4.37 for the good stuff in NYC......
It's like paying for a pound of hemp for a full tank.......

Umm....looks like you took care of that one yourself. If you wanted to know how to post a new topic, there's a button for that too. Can't remember where it is though, I never use it. :)

Gas went down to $3.93 yesterday.

[Charra]

$4.07 in the Chicago burbs now.

[FragInsurance]

3.95 here hopefully Bush will talk some sense into Saudi Arabia

[Imperial]

Sweet, $4.12 today

[Lmcfalcon12]

Still $3.89. It went down a dime last night which surprised me, but then went back up to $3.89. Of course the Marathon down the street was already at $4 but they are always above everyone else.

And I like how they're talking about taping oil reserves here in the US. Its amazing to me how much cash these oil companies can make. Seriously, we could have $0.25 a gallon for the next 10 years and it wouldn't hurt the oil companies. Billion dollar profits every year...its disgusting.

[Lmcfalcon12]

...oh and check this one. Exxon Mobil made some ungodly amount of money last year. If you work it out, it becomes $1068.?? a second. A SECOND! Multiply it out and its: $33,588,172,800. To tell you the truth, it might even be higher than that.

It gets better. This is just Ex. Mobil. That doesn't even count BP, Shell, Murphy Fuels, Sunoco...I could go on. But their all making billion$ per year too.

[Imperial]

The Saudis agreed to put out more oil: http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSL1572317920080516
I can't wait until the oil in the Middle East is exhausted, we'll have no further reason to be there anymore.

"Customers, where are you? I want to sell oil but where are the customers? I can't sell oil just to be stored at sea," Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal told a news conference.

How much oil sits around on the ocean? Clearly, there's so much oil that its overflowing out of every American home, going down sewers across the country. Ugh.

[darkdemon1]

Bush fails to win Saudi help on gas prices (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080517/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_mideast)

For some reason, I'm not surprised he failed......

[CptMcArthur]

I lay the blame for the current oil crisis and global warming on the United States of America. Your Goverment and Companies don't seem to get the message.

[SIWELCELA]

Anyway, i'm interested to see where gas prices are going to go come next Memorial Day.. big travel weekend

[tom the pit leader]

Down in IL, we have gas at about 3.75 to 3.95

And there is nothing anyone can do to permaetly decrease costs. Not repealing the gas tax, not tapping new reserves, in the end all the oil will be gone, and then we'll have to move to electric cars.

[leninrocks244]

3.95 here hopefully Bush will talk some sense into Saudi Arabia

lol fat chance

[hockeyD13]

In michigan, Its like 3.95 and rising quickly

the problem with that one is that they make those cars so dam expensive that us lower class people cant afford them

The first few runs of electric or alternative energy cars are going to be damned expensive. It always takes a bit of time for mass production to get the costs cut down to size.

Miraculously, gas hasn't gone up in Rockford over the weekend, but Saturday when I drove north it was $3.71 in Rockton and 30 hours later on the way home it was $3.87. Ugh...

[The Demon Lord]

Drove home from school last week.

$3.84 in South Bend, IN
$4.10 in Chicago, IL
$3.75-ish in Elyria, OH
$3.65-ish in some backwards part of I-80 in PA, roughly the same in backwards part of NJ.
$3.61 in Fort Lee, NJ
$3.95 in Staten Island, NY
$4.08 in The Bronx, NY
$4.15 in Westchester County, NY

Feel my 20 mpg Jeep Liberty pain.

[The Demon Lord]

Also: My dad is a Financial Planner, and we were talking about gas prices last week. He said that the price of oil is inflated about $30-40 because of hedge funds buying up oil to recoup losses from the sub-prime fallout. Watch around late June as their position moves to sell, and the price of oil plummets to around $90 a barrel. So thankfully, the end is in sight for this current peak.

[Zagato]

Around $1.30 per litre in my area. But I hear that by late June, the provincial government is going to tax gasoline, and especially diesel, up to $2.00+ per litre to 'encourage' the use of public transportation and carpooling.

...Goddamn hippie environmentalists in the government.

$3.69 for regular
$4.59 for diesal, iirc

in Gadsden, Alabama. I get around 22-23 mpg with my Jeep Grand Cherokee

Regular unleaded jumped to $3.99 here, I didn't catch what diesel is. It was $4.59 before, so I can only imagine...

I take that back.

Regular is $3.75

4.15 here, wasn't there this small company try to rip ppl off in georgia or someplace where they were the only station in like a whole town? i think they were trying to pull off prices like 8 dollars. but they got pwned.

[The Corporal]

Well, Rockford gas stations snuck up to $4.15 over the weekend. Until this morning I hadn't left an area roughly 250 feet beyond the front door of my apartment, so I don't know when it went up, but 16 cents in four days is criminal.

[CptMcArthur]

If I've done the calculation correct, we are being charged $7.13 (USD) per gallon here in New Zealand. I'll check my working though :P

EDIT: Yep, I think thats right. It sounds totally absurd. It's $2 NZD for a litre of gas here.

[Lmcfalcon12]

Cleveland gas dropped to about 3.79-3.69.

[IronsightSniper]

Lol, we've been paying that much a looooong time ago(Cali guy here). But oh well, I'm planning to buy a ethanol fueled car soon. By soon I mean when a E85(85% Ethanol) opens up near by. There are currently 3 in California, but soon there would be around 22. The price for E85 per gallon is around $3.00 =)

[hockeyD13]

Wouldn't do it if I were you. Ethanol production is probably going to go down due to the food shortage that it is creating. If you want to go with a new generation fuel system, stick with electric/gas hybrid also the hydrogen fuel cell technology is getting better and will probably be in at least limited production in the next 5 to 7 years.

[CptMcArthur]

You bastards whinge too much :P

I drive a Land Rover Discovery with no serious problems. And it's bloody $7 a gallon down here. You guys be glad with $4!

[Villalba]

Those Liberals ruined the nation. What kind of moron elected this guys into Congress.

[Zagato]

There should be diesel-electric hybrid cars. I mean some buses and even submarines use this kind of hybrid engine. I've seen prototype diesel-electric cars get around 100 miles to the gallon. We just need to invent some super electic motor that can deal with the mighty torque of diesel engines.

[Lmcfalcon12]

$3.89-$3.99. Could be worse.

*cough* Gonna get worse...

I'd say around here $3.50 a gallon?

Funny, how the Democrats made all these promises in the last elections and none of them ever happened. Now, Clinton and Obama are making all sorts of promises (like pulling out of Iraq too early) and what do you think will happen if they get elected? There is a reason that the Congressional approval rating is below Bush's approval rating (18% to I think 28 or 30% last time I looked) and a similar reason is why you never hear about the Congressional approval rating...

[Iron Wolf]

Prices up again around Seattle. My home's gas prices accross the sound from SEattle is now up to $4.09 a gallon at the cheap place in town. At the Chevron station it's $4.29 for regular unleaded. I didn't have the nerve to look at Premium or diesel.

[SeasonsOfLove]

$3.79 earlier today for me. Hahaha. Of course, it was in the middle of nowhere (aka rural Virginia)

[Lmcfalcon12]

$3.82-$3.89...for like 2 weeks now. They say the national average is over $4.** a gallon so I'm not going to complain.

[The Corporal]

This reminds me, it went up to $4.19 a gallon here. Ugh.

[Hubb]

$3.99 a gallon here. Funny how they didn't skyrocket until about two years ago.......

[Izubibbywutz]

hmm...4.12

[Aussie Avenger]

1.59 a litre, which is you work out with exchange rates and metric to imperial measurements measn we pay a hell of a lot more then Americans, simply because the American government subsidizes petrol prices while the Australian taxes it.

[Tox]

1.32 euro per litre unleaded 1.45 desiel

about

6.63 a gallon I think i'm not good at imperial / metric conversions.

In a large town, West of Ireland

[Lmcfalcon12]

You know the Cleveland news has been harping the gas prices here and its ridiculous because on the West side, gas has stayed the same price for about 3 weeks. I'm sick of them calling it a crisis. Yeah. Sure its important because it rose 300% in the last 2 years, but seriously.

[ajc111213]

around here about........


$4.90 a gallon

[The Corporal]

Mercifully the prices have dropped down to $4.02. I still don't understand how the price can shift as much as 15 cents in less than 24 hours here in Illinois...

[FreeMason]

Texas (at least where I am) prices are somewhere in the $3.80-$4.00 range. It costs me $100 to fill up now.

Ummm....no. Yes, ExxonMobil made $40 billion dollars, but that's on $460 billion in sales. That kind of profit margin is absolute garbage compared to every other major business. It costs $200,000 a day to maintain a single off-shore oil rig. That's $73 million a year, per rig. There are a lot of oil rigs out there. Even land new wells cost an average of $80k-100k a day. People get awestruck when they see a number like $40 billion and forget to ask what the revenues were...

[Lmcfalcon12]

$3.88 if you're lucky.

...but if you couldn't get to the station in time $4.15-$4.17

[Zagato]

I did a conversation and found that we're paying $7.19 per gallon up here! I hope my calculations are wrong.

Up to around $4.30 in Salem, OR

[Gangsta JJ]

about 4.15 in central illinois

Its a fricking joke. They pull this bullshit right before every major holiday and then raise it like 2 weeks before the holiday. It'll drop to $3.99 after Independence Day and then go up again around Labor Day.

Also, prices here are about the same as before. They dipped to $3.99 last weekend, but have leveled out just around $4.10 or so, depending on where you go.

[Lmcfalcon12]

Nice $0.20 drop today. Looks like they scared enough shit out of people to make a few more pre-holiday profits.
