Today's Gasoline Price???

Good News , This morning I went to get gas in CHICAGO for my blazer and I ended up in sticker shock when I seen the price.

$2.89 Regular per gallon Gallon
$2.99 Mid Grade
$3.09 Premium

Too bad we all could'nt stop buying shit for two days and send a message to all the oil companies nation wide... When will this B.S. come to an end.........

:wtf:

it is bull man, here in cedar rapids it jumped 40 cents from one day to the other

It went up 24 cents here in 7 days.Im payin 2.49.
What i do not get though is we own a sandbox full of oil yet it keeps going up

have you guys read about this?

I read about that but i rather have something reliable even if it chugs gas.

They are reliable when compared to our trucks.

I don't know where you pulled out the myth they they are problematic.

God bless the soul that creates something that cuts the imbilical cord with the pump.

OPEC is just finding every excuse in the book to raise the price.

AG Higher than average hurricane year, we have to raise the prices.

The one thing that bothers me is the fact the government is doing nothing about it.

It is like it is free grab that the administration is trying to be blind to.

2.59 where I get gas. 2.55 - 2.79 at other places.

The local news says that the price of gas has gone up 20 cents in the last 3 weeks......everywhere that I've seen has gone up 40 cents in the last week.

I also think that one(of the many) of the reasons why we pay so much for gas right now is the economy is doing so well for both Canada and the US.
People have more money to spend.... so they won't stop driving just because the price of gas goes up...they can afford it right now....
The sad part is that we all are so dependent on oil, from automakers to the daily commuter. If oil just ran out one day...shit would hit the fan....:2cents:

$2.69 is average price here in Charleston WV area, with a few places $2.55 if you want to drive 30 miles... Of course we pay more damn taxes than most on ours to help pay for our state government's stupid blunders. There was a national survey out a while back that said most people would not do anything about cutting back unless gas hit $3 plus a gallon. Don't know who these clowns called but it was not me. Guess we could put boilers in our trucks and burn coal, but they tax that too!

The big question is, Will it stop at $3.00 per gallon, It's already there?

It has got to. I am gonna start car pooling very soon to try and cut back some. Also, a local store Foodland has there own gas pumps and give you discounts off fuel depending on what and how much you buy. Can add up. kroger has it too, but darn gas station is several miles out of my way. Still, at 10-15 cents discount per gallon, might be worth it.

The big question is, Will it stop at $3.00 per gallon, It's already there?

Isn't it already above 3.00 in California?

I paid $2.78 for regular last night. The prices fluctuate like crazy though, eariler that day the price was $2.59 at the same station!

I am seeing over $3.10 at the pump at a local station, but that is for Premium gas. At another gas station, ALL GRADES were $2.53 and the "Dupree" truck was emptying it's haul into the underground tanks. Cheapest gas in the area is for 81 octane, 2.49 at a Conoco way outside of town. Another station just down the road by the local airport's selling V-power for the same price as regular gas on Tuesdays - currently both are set at $2.53 or so. If gas hits $3/gallon - I'm going to park the rig and walk to work. It will open myself up to the opportunity to walk an hour each way to and from work, but in this heat? I hate showing up in my office sweating... :P

here in northen nj i guess it is the cheapest. im paying 2.25 for shell. if you go with the cheap gas, like gas N go or gas 4 less, they are 2.19

Jersey prices are a little below market norm. I have been hitting the gassbuddy.com site for help but face it, gas prices are hiking and the current US administration sees no short term relief. *sigh*

hey guys, I just paid 1.12 per liter, which works out to 5.08 a gallon. hhhhmmmmmmmmmmm I might have to sell the BLAZER :mad: :nono:

I am inclined to personally agree, being that our current fearless leader has a vested interest...but I don;t really want to drag politics into this fun place. Two places where you never discuss politics - amongst your coworkers, and amongst your friends. :D :cheers:

2.80 a gallon today in Muskegon Michigan (by grand rapids, west cost) for cheep gas... about the sell off the 350 and find me a nice 2.8l... lol ok not that bad, but the new moter gets v-power and only v power, it realy does work better... but damn at this rate, im going Desal with the next one

The bitch of it is, that this makes selling 4x4's very difficult. My son parked his 91 Explorer and bought a small car. Even though he has it at well below it's market value he can't get anyone to even come look at it after two months. I see a lot of various SUV's , 4x4's for sale, but not selling worth a crap. May have to wait for winter.

You guys still have it cheap compared to the canacks, we pay about 30% more than you do.

See, hybrid cars suck, and you know why? They're all ugly. I think they purposely make them so ugly so we don't bother to buy them.

Also, if gas prices are so incredibly high, what we need to do is start issuing limits on how much gas we consume or have coordinated days where we can put on gas and can't...

But oh well, i'll still keep driving my blazer till it dies and then I'll get a chevy impala

There is a local used car dealership that has the entire front three rows that face the highway just *filled* with 4x4 Blazers. I got curious and took a look...they are giving them all, first, second and last generations before the Trailblazer *deeeeeeep* discounts. THey can't shift a single one. I asked why and the immediate response was, "Nobody wants a truck when gas prices soar." I think our problem is we still haven't seen just how far they will fly before coming anywhere near Earth again. And to our pals up in the Great White North - I feel for you guys. But not too much - y'all got easy access to Esso XD. :icon16:

I am getting it for $2.39 in S. Carolina for reg. $2.58 for 93 octane . I guess I am fortunate I can go two weeks on a tank . 12 miles interstate to work .

Reg: 2.69 Mid: 2.79 Sup: 2.89. This is getting out of control!

Time to ride that bicycle again or get a rice burner, i was already trying to walk every where or bike, but now it seems that i have to ride bike to work too, can't keep spending 45+ dollars to fill up every week. i figured itout and last month between the GF and i we spent almost $400 in gas alone, how much di you all spend?

here in ohio its' $2.65. :frown: went up 39 cents monday morning

You will get a kick out of this one..... My co-workers and I were talking about the gas prices today and I finally got feed up with it, I went out and bought me an '04 Honda CBR600RR. I couldn't stand the amount of money I kept spending trying to keep gas in my Blazer. I have ran out of gas 3 times in the last month. Here the price is $2.53 a gallon. The CBR gets nice gas mileage. It only costs me $89 a month for 36 months for a grand total of just over $10,800. They even threw in a helmet and kick ass Honda jacket. I now have a ride at least for the rest of the summer. Come winter time the Blazer will be back in action as my daily driver.

EDIT: Put $89 a month when I meant $189 a month

i went throught 400 us last month month, the girl friend lives 40 miles away and i see her almost every other day

Last summer I took an electronics class at a local college where we converted a Ranger pickup over to completely electric. Bought the truck for I think $600 and spent about $10,000 (a grant we received) on all the components including batteries, DC motor, motor controller, etc. Removed fuel system, exhaust system, etc. that was not needed for an electric vehicle. Really did it up right. Turned out real well. Will go about 80 miles on a charge and will travel at interstate speeds. Did it just as a project to apply some of the things we had learned in other classes. Well, lately our phones have been ringing off the hook from people wanting one. What's really wild is that when we tell them the cost involved in a conversion they are willing to spend the money.

10 k isnt that bad, why if you bought a kia and had the conversion done your still in it for less then the cost of a gas powered ford or chevy, and have no more patrolium price to pay, and at 40 mile distence (you have to go back home) that would get most people to work, and if they could plug in at work, they could travel even farther and not use gas at all

One problem with a small car is finding a place to put the batteries and also the weight of the batteries. That is why we chose a truck. It is capable of hauling the weight. We put the batteries in the bed for show. They are currently working on an S-10 and are putting the batteries under the bed. We used lead acid batteries, but the instructor is looking into other battery types to reduce the weight (but will also increase the price a lot).

One lonesome station @2.64, rest $2.67-2.74 per gallon. To add insult to injury our wonderful state government announced that starting next year they will base our state tax (over 26 cents now a gallon) on summer highest levels which will raise the tax much further. Always looking to screw someone. Mainly US!

Walmart's Murphy USA gas stations at their super center locations in my area has gasoline for $2.53/gal but it is shag nasty gasoline. People are lined up to get it. Having just a ten spot in my pocket and a needle hovering over 1/4 tank left I stopped in to grab some. People are in such a panic to GET this cheap gas, squealing around a corner came some old lady in her little gold Honda POS 4x4 passenger car. *BANG* Right into the back of my truck. Luckily I had the tow hitch ball on, as it might be employed in helping a roommate move into my apartment. Anyway, it pushes a hole through the front of her plastic bumper. And there I am with my hands onthe gas nozzle, filling the truck. She gets out and makes out how it is all my fault for this accident. Well, I literally had to kick an old lady...

I told her that she does not have a leg to stand on since I was not even IN the vehicle when it was struck after a tire screeching, blind turn into the back of my truck which now has your little piece of shit stuck on it's back bumper. So I suggest she should get back into the car, put it in reverse, and when I signal her, she is to jam the gas and hopefully seperate. She agrees as I mentally note her license plate....

She guns it in reverse and I put a boot mark on the hood of her car when I give it a good, solid kick to bounce it off my tow-ball. *laugh* People - SLOW THE F*CK DOWN. Gas prices are not going to change in the 5 extra minutes it takes the guy in front of you to pump $10 worth of gas.

Lol wolfox... :)

Murphy USA gas is pure crap (I've put on there before and it's just utter crap)

Your story reminds me of an accident I had in my blazer, although it was the other way around. I ran into the back of some lady's van (oops) and it didn't even do anything to my blazer. The tow hooks however, well they pierced her bumper. Oh well, it's all over with now but your story made me laugh :)

Thats like my accident fog lights on my grille took my impact and did some good damage to his trunk

Funny you should say that redlt i am looking at an excel to go back and forth to school mainly because of its 30mpg

Complaining about the price of gas in a Blazer forum is funny.

Like a fat guy complaining that the cheetos are $1.99 a bag or that the double cheeseburger came off the extra value menu ( I actually hope that nevre happens).

It is but its fun to vent.

mcD's doubble cheesburgers on the value menue, 99C... a buck five after tax... welcome to America

I dont mind Murphy USA gas I find it way better that that Phillips 66 gas (crap), every freaking time i use it my truck misfires, i got to the point where i jsut dont use it anymore, I like Citgo alot

it was 2.38 yesterday so i filled up

if you want to talk about gas that is truly good, its the v power gas, yep more expencive, but take the head off of a vehical that has only used v power (cousins 350 in his s 10 before the accident) and it is sooo much cleaner then someone who uses any other brand of gasolien, when my small block is finished that is all it will get into it, price of gas today, i wouldnt be going to far in it anywayse so might as well put the good expencive shit into it instead of just expencive shit

oil is up $2 a barrel today, the pump price will rise again.

I like how here in the states we are gonna have gas price hearings in september to see why it went so high up so fast.Bunch a bs if you ask me.

Honestly I love the bike but I went a bit out of control. It is oh my god fast and good on gas but I just wanted something to drive back and forth to work. I should have went with the Kawasaki Ninja 250R. At only $2900 brand f*uckin new it would have been a much better choice. Sure it only has a 250cc engine but that will get you where you need to go just as fast as any normal car. They run about 85 and I hear they get awsome gas milage. I was telling a friend of mine how I got mine and he told me about the ninja. I checked into them and MAN I rushed the gun a bit to much. Shoulda looked around a bit more. The 599cc engine of the CBR600RR is just to much for a daily driver. I got my head all swimming with ideas of driving it to the beach and showing off and all that shit and forgot the main reason I was buying one to start with. Now I got a $189 payment when I could have had more like a $75 payment with better gas milage and the ninja looks pretty good.

Here in Miami gas is basically 2.69-2.80 for regular on the weekdays, on the weekends it goes up to 2.75-2.90. And the only way people can get around is by driving their damn cars, no sort of public transportation at all. Yesterday I was out and at the corner down the street from my house, there is an intersection with 4 gas stations on each corner. Shell, Mobile, BP, and Cheveron. All but the Cheveron had regular for 2.70. The Cheveron had it for 2.62!! there was a line out the enterance, litteratly gridlock in the intersection from people trying to get to the gas station. On my way back home about 1 1/2 hours later the Cheveron bumped prices up to 2.69. Absolutley rediculous. I've limited myself 1 tank fill per 5 days. At least $40 for a fill. I remember when I had a Suburban a while ago and would get pissed because it would cost $40 to fill the tank. Man I'm so glad i sold that car. Peace-

i love listening to my grandpa talk about his old flat head 8 ford he drove, and he could fill it up once with gas for under 33 cents a gallon, and for kicks every other tank (half tank) he would go to the local supplyer and put alcohal in it for 6 cents a gallon more... ahh, to bitch about gas being 35 cents a gallon would be nice about now

I remember when I would go down to like North Carolina or South Carolina and you could get gas for under $1. Ahh the days. Peace-
