OT - How much is regular gas where you are?

[Fred]

Just got over $3 today at Costco, Livermore (Bay Area), CA and its one of the cheapest stations around.

[SQLit]

Phoenix Az regular varies from $2.819 to $2.999 on my circuit today. I saw diesel at $2.999 at one station.

I filled up at Costco yesterday for $2.549, I did not go anywhere near Costco today.

[PanHandler]

It's $2.79 here in Chipley, FL, in the central Panhandle. That was an hour ago - probably higher now.

[G Henslee]

Wouldn't know. I use premium. 10 mins south of San Fran. Bit it looks like more'n just the cabelleros will be gettin' hosed in the gay bay.

[Pop]

2.79 to 3.29: Just rode around town to fill up and checked various places before I chose one.

In Atlanta, $2.49 on the way to work this morning; $2.79 on the way home...

[Jeff Wisnia]

$2.639 at the always cheapest independent in Woburn, Taxachusetts.

Get ready for higher prices than that. I hear the pipeline that supplies 75% of Georgia with gasoline is inoperable.

It just jumped to $3.30 here in the Southern Michigan / Northern Indiana area for regular unleaded. I bet it goes up even more before it gets better.

Well last night it was $1.09 CDN per Litre of Regular gas. This morning it was up to $1.15 and at noon it was $1.21. This evening they are saying it will go to about CDN$1.30 per Litre here in Montreal, Canada.

Will about 3.78 Litres to a US Gallon, and todays exchange rate of about CDN$0.84 to USD$1.00, it comes to about

USD$4.12 per US Gallon!!!! Damn that's starting to hurt... I guess my 72 Riviera will be staying in my garage for a while... So much for all the joy rides...

Yesterday afternoon on the way to the store (Western Michigan) many were $2.999, but one still $2.699. On the way back from the store, the latter was up to $2.999 as well. When I mentioned the sudden increase to the customer at the pump next to me, she said that it had jumped from $2.699 to $2.999 while she was getting her CC out of her purse.

This morning some were up to $3.299.

I just heard it's up to over $5 per gallon in Atlanta. Holy shit, I wonder what it would have been if the SPR wasn't being tapped.

And when I took the family to the neighborhood pizza joint for an early dinner, the three stations I passed had huge lines around them. But driving home after dinner, the lines were gone--- because there was no more gas :-(

$2.899 Bowling Green, KY 8:30 PM CST and rising.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Riddle me this Batmam: How come a hurricane in Louisiana YESTERDAY makes pump prices rise today? Does it mean that the gasoline that is already in the tanks at the gas stations will be billed at a higher price? I think not. It may be on 30 day net, but the invoiced price is the price and the markup should be pretty standard in an industry as mature as that one.

I mean, Vaseline is a petroleum based product. I went into a pharmacy and they weren't changing the prices on the KY Jelly because of the hurricane. So what gives?

Just 'taint right I tells ya...

Of course, if I say we are being robbed blind - I get pegged as an anarchist. What an insidious series of unfortunate events that led to this point whereby we are bound by words so we can no longer express ourselves to the point that evokes creative solutions.

Saying gasoline is what it is a gallon is good info, but what is it we are really saying? How much are we going to take? Maybe. Ooops.

Then again, I remember: "By God, when cigarettes get to $1.50 a pack I'm quitting!" Except I don't have to have a cigarette to get to work and support my family.

Maybe the rising gas prices will be a national average taxpayer's new Threat Meter. Homeland Security has the Threat Meter for terrorism. Maybe they are watching the wrong meter. Personally, I'd like it if they watched our gas meters. After all, it is a petroleum based administation.

Our Threat Meter is simple. The higher the price of gas goes, the more of a threat to our way of life shows its face ...

Sorry for the length. Had to get it off my chest. (had to glue the leg)

This morning it was $2.50 a gallon. Now it is $3.20 a gallon. It wet up 70 cents in one day. And that assumes you can get it, Many stations are running out. We may have to shut down our business till things stabilize.

San Antonio $2.56 yesterday, $2.65 at 6 pm today. Diesel about the same. Filled my Diesel p/u Sat. for $2.37. Luckily I got a little Ford Aspire to putt around in -- about 33 mpg in town, 40+ on the road, maybe a little less running the a/c. Gonna fill it up in a little while.

[Prometheus]

$2.89 in west-central WI (Bloomer, between Rice Lake and Eau Claire) Probably be higher tomorrow, if the weeks *before* the big hurricane shut down refineries.

[Prometheus]

Wouldn't matter much- the problem is refinery capacity, not crude prices right now. Lots of refinery capability was affected by the hurricane, and might not be back on-line for a while.

[Edwin Pawlowski]

Teetering a few center either side of $3.00 in Northeast CT and central MA. Low was 2.73, high is 3.11 that I saw today
