Gas Prices

http://s94031292.onlinehome.us/images/dsc00634.jpg

This is at my local gas station. I give up.

How many mpg do scooters/mopeds usually get? (Yes, I'm serious.)

jumped up 25 cents in 1 night.....fuck

Shell is the worst along with Chevron and BP in some places. Where I live there is 4 gas stations X'd across a 4-way intersection. Today, the Shell, Chevron, and BP all had 87 for at least $3 while the mobile had 87 for $2.69. It really has nothing to do with the individual station or the "gas crisis" the major companies are seeing that the average consumer think's there is a shortage so they are upping the wholesale prices to their stations. It's gonna take atleast a week in order for the actual effect of Katrina to effect prices for real. They don't even know what the damage is to the refineres, rigs, pipelines, and ports is yet except that it is prolly pretty bad. As we speak the fed gov. is investigating claims of price gouging by the major oil companies, and I totally believe that they're taking advantage of what is going on. The tanks at shipyards around here have been full since saturday after Katrina hit, and since then the wholesale prices have jumped up at least once a day and sometimes twice a day. BUT, only for certain companies(i.e shell and chevron). Serious raping going on by the oil companies, but what did we expect. Peace-

I don't really drive anymore. Thank God.

i've started riding my bike or taking public transportation. too bad both really suck where i live. biking is alright except for watching out for those crazy drivers.

one of the main lines running from the gulf coast all the up towards Maine hasn't been functioning regularly already, so they are definately starting to feel the effects over on the east coast. good thing my car gets pretty decent gas mileage. even better that i'm biking, losing weight and saving money ::D:

$3.00 here

Pretty soon its going to be www.pedestrianforums.com

$2.78 for 87 and $2.98 for 93

It was 2.81 when I filled up at the Shell today. Really surprising for North Texas. I get about 30 miles to the gallon highway, so I'm happy.

damn I just saw 3.11 at luk oil

Haha losers, my Shell station posted up 2.69 while i've seen others like Race Track which is usually WAY lower than Shell, but Race Track is like 2.89 unleaded and 2.99 premium.

Well im filling up tonight as soon as my mom comes home and im going to Shell :)

I'm half tempted to get full year insurance for maggie she gets around 50-60 if i dont act like an ass.

3.27 for regular here! :mad:

All of the gas stations here ran out of gas today. My mom had to drive 30 minutes and then wait in a 30 minute line. There's a big rumor that we're going to be out forever, but we won't. They'll deliver more some time in the next week. Or I'm just in denial and I'm never going to have gas again.

I would love to walk everywhere, but Florida has terrible weather right now, it's hot and humid. Also, I'd have to leave, like, 2 hours early to make it to school.

Not to be nosey but where if florida are you located? In the Miami area last night a rumor got out that gas stations were going to close at 8PM and people started freaking out. I just so happened to be out and needed gas, so I went to my usual stop and the lines were like 8-10 cars deep on each island. I was like WTF is going on and people were like "THEY'RE GONNA CLOSE!! AND NOT OPEN AGAIN FOR LIKE A WEEK!!!!" people were filling up cans and shit it was crazy. But, 8PM rolled around and nothing happened. Yet this morning on my way to work I saw that many stations were over $3. Peace-

When china buys the refinery's were toast.....

Lets see...

Floods all over the place...
Horrible hurricane wipes out one of the largest southern cities off the face of the earth...
war in Iraq = 3.1 Trillion in debt...
Gas prices are at an all time high!
And the stock market is down in almost everything!

Time to move! NZ boys move over!

I live in DeLand. It's about 30 minutes from Daytona. STALKER!

That's what happens. People need to stop freaking out like that. A lot of places here are running out, but they should be back within 2 or 3 days.

I hope.

Don't buy into the hype bro, its bad but it isn't that bad. Maybe if China wasn't so ineficent with their fuel consupmtion than we wouldn't be in this situation. You know they use almost 20% more fuel than any other country in the world to produce $1 of GDP. Fucking ludicrus. Peace-

No, no stalker but now I know where you live! That's out of control you guys didn't even get anything from the storm either. For 2 days after Katrina hit us there was like 2 stations in the area that had fuel and there was like an hour wait in line. People need to chill out. The average person doesn't get by hording fuel it just makes the supply run out and prices go up faster. But what do they care, they gotta get the kids to soccer practice. Peace-

at a BP station in Georgia, it's 5.87 for REGULAR.
i don't know how to post pics but i would.

I know. And I agree. It's all stupid.

My grandma's supposed to be driving to the Keys tomorrow to pick up my aunt, everyone is wondering if she'll make it down.

Yea I agree no more fuel for them :nono:

$3.29 for Premium at BP, this is fucking bullshit. :swear:

Yea gasbuddy is good only if you live or regulary frequent a marjor metropolitan area, for the rest of us who live in the "sticks" we're fucked. Peace-

Notice the person filling up their F350 in the picture. I hope they go bankrupt over filling that thing up.

I filled up yesterday at Kroger's for 2.62 a gallon; it took $44 to fill up my Bonneville. luckily I get great mileage and don't take any unnecessary trips. I hate the prices but I need my car in order to get to where I need/want to go so I just do what I have to do. It does suck though.:(

I filled up two days ago, i'm hoping the prices will go down again before i need to fill up, which will be around a half a tank.

Just put 3/4 of a tank of LPG in my car, cost me $12 aus at 41 cents a litre. Petrol is at $1.29 a litre at that station. Don't americans get LPG?

I use LPG reguarly since its so cheap, and with a higher octane rating than Premium unleaded, my car will run it with my timing so far advanced. (I have to run Premium Unleaded when I want to put petrol in it)

I drove about 700 kms last weekend and it cost me $25. Sweet.

It now takes $34 dollars to fill up my Honda

EDIT: And gas jumped up another 10 cents today.

Over 3 bux/g in SC... I got gas a few days ago when it was 2.41/g and I have 1/2 a tank. I'm actually driving the speed limit. Commuting 80 miles round trip a day sucks ass. I'm neutral costing down the hills even on the freeway...

I think back to may when I was paying $2.27 for regular at one station. That station yesterday was $3.49... The day before that it was $2.71... and that MORNING it was 2.83. There has to be a limit to how much they can raise these prices per day! It's not so much the price, it's the insanse increases we are seeing in little time.

October 2003 I was paying ~$1.75. October 2004 I was paying ~$2.15 October 2005 oh dear lord... I seriously think my car is coming off the road.

I'm waiting on a new pretty good paying job. If I get said job, I'll will seriously consider buying a Honda Insight.

Yes, gas prices suck ass. My question is when will they finally f'ing go back down and level out, (if they will go back down that is)???????

$3.13/gal here in Los Angeles

All the stations are gouging to see how much of a profit they can make. Now in places where the gas isn't easily accesible, I would understand the prices being higher. There is nothing the government really can do except fine the companies extremelly. So, whenever you can, walk somewhere and drive slowly and easily. NO RACING! >_>

2.78 here but i have to get 93 so 2.98 it blows ass

Half of the gas stations around here (conover/Hickory/Morganton N.c.) Dont even have gas.

I heard president bush say he was going to have allegations of price gouging investigated. They are already doing so in at least one state.

He also said that the EPA has temporarily suspended some of the environmental regulations on gas so more of it will be available sooner, and that they will be releasing some petroleum from alaska.

oh yea ove half the gas stations here are out of gas one day and have gas the next u have to search for gas though

"aww 3 dollars a gallon" we're paying a dollar fiffty PER LITER, how many liters in a gallon? more than 2! We're paying more than you guys are, yet we still drive those big awesome V8's, even ford are so shit they make their crapp 5.4 lit, woooo big boys there, fuck that sh!t off we got the Gen III 5.7 HELL YEAH!!!

I just paid 4.18$ a gallon for premium...down where I'm headed, in just a few minutes, its over $5 a gallon premium...I can't keep this up very long....CRAZY i tell ya!

Gas prices here have been $3/gal all week. The problem is not a crude oil problem, those prices per barrel have actually been receeding the last week. It's the refineries. This country is so fucked up with tree huggers and shit that we haven't built one in over 40 years. I just hope that they can get the refineries up and running so the prices will come back down.

And the worst part about it is I commute 190 miles a day roundtrip and don't have a choice.

And the worst part about it is I commute 190 miles a day roundtrip and don't have a choice.

shit. thats almost 2/3 of a tank for me!

Why do you have to commute so far?

95 miles just to get to work? No thanks.

You could look into something a little bit better on gas, unless you have a hybrid, you could always improve.

Man I live in Salinas too just like SiGNAL does and its has been climbing like crazy and I hate it. It cost me 54 dollars just to fill up my car with premium, crazy...

AHAHAHAHAHA! Prices in my area went DOWN today. Suckas.


2.88 for premium, another reason to love here. Never thought I'd say that.

Prices came down a little bit here too..

The thing I find fucked up is we're paying for the price jumps NOW not the actual oil that was purchased at that price. We're paying high prices for oil that was bought over a month ago, so we should be paying those prices, but we're not, we're paying for the oil price in 1-2 months in the future.

It's really pathetic when anything under 3 dollars is now considered cheap and makes us jump for joy :D

Crazy?!...but in Finland gas is about 6,1$/gal. That's crazy.....

AHAHAHAHAHA! Prices in my area went DOWN today. Suckas.

Any chance gas prices will go down on LI? :frown:

i paid $3.49/gal for premium at the local mobil. luckily the weather's nice here in NY so i can take the bike everywhere and not pay $60 to fill the maxima.

I just filled up my tank today. Costed me $39.50 at $3.66 a gallon at BP.

I dont even want to know how much itll cost to fill our expedition

on Thursday, when I left for school, it was at $3.02 or something like that on the Garden State Parkway here in North NJ, where the gas at the rest stops are regulated by the Highway Commission of NJ. Guy next to us had a Hummer H2, he left while we were still filling up the Infiniti. We saw on the pump....$102.98....Our Infiniti was probably at least $55. I wasn't paying much attention.

Last time I filled up it was $2.50. That was a week from Friday and I drove 50 miles since then (1/4 tank). I refuse to pay above $2.50, and will not fill up my car until prices drop.

You say that now!

You say that now!
I can pretty much walk everywhere I need to go. Not a problem for me. Plus I can save my money up for a motorcycle.
