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.........

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....

$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!

Re: Today's Gasoline Price???

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.

Re: Today's Gasoline Price???

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

Re: Today's Gasoline Price???

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*
