Gas prices

Post by Sparky Spartacus
I'm in NE NJ (very near NYC) and noticed Thursday afternoon that regular
had jumped to $3.20/gallon & premium was $3.50. I paid $2.50/gallon for
regular when I filled up on 08/28.
What's it like across the US?

I saw $3.09. I commute by bike and haven't filled my tank in about 2 months
though... Had to drive this week because of all the rain and the needle is
almost on E... But GW said not to buy gas unless I need to.

over here!

the Midwest (which oddly is nowhere near the Mideast)

btw, have you ever had the urge to just go out and buy some gas when you
really didn't need it? Sort of like ice cream, sometimes you just the
impulse to go out and buy a gallon?

LOL, definitely not! Gasoline will never taste as good as ice cream.

Well, not sure about the US, but I was in England earlier this week, before
the hurricane, and the price there was about US$6.50 a US Gallon. Though
since then, there was an 8.5¢ a US gallon tax increase that went into
effect yesterday. An lord knows what will happen now!

Here in Ontario, prices have jumped from about US$3.00 a US gallon at
the beginning of the week, to about US$4.00 a US gallon today. Looks
to me the USA still has the cheapest gasoline going!

Looks to be dirt cheap for the present circumstances.

Which is exactly what the big oil companies were shooting for.
They are jacking the prices high enough that we will long for
the days when gas was "only" 3 bucks a gallon. They did the
same thing when it went over 2 bucks.

The day before the hike, I paid $2.749. Some expert on the
radio said that despite Katrina, fuel supplies were plentiful;
Baby Bush was going to open the national fuel reserves; fuel
prices in WI would rise about 20 cents by the weekend. The
*very next day*, prices had shot up 65 cents a gallon, and the
government is telling me there is no evidence of price gouging.

"Thank you, Sir, may I have another!"

Hmm, and just paid US$4.26 a US gallong this evening. Hmm, not sure
why it is climbing more in Canada than in the USA!

Virginia Beach, saw it was up to $3.20 also. Glad I filled up on Saturday
and that my little red escort get 35+ mpg.

I am 150 west of NO and there is no gas from NO to Lafayette LA.

We never got a drop of rain from this storm. My brother lives or lived in
Slidell and he lost everything.

still find it for $3.199.

i'm in the boston, mass area and it seems that the gas prices vary according
to the wealth of a particular city or town here. in some cities gas is
about $3.10 and others it's $3.69.

I'm in southern Calif. between L.A. & San Diego, I paid $2.90 this evening.
That was a jump of 5 cents from yesterday's prices. I saw a news report
last week that it was $4.00 on Catalina Island. Accordingly the stores
prices are going up, cost of delivery. It is not just gas prices we will
all have to deal with soon.

Isn't Catalina Island always higher due to the location and having few
cars?

That's true, besides how much gas does a golf cart use? BTW, the station I
used yesterday went up 3 cents overnight. (why is there no cent symbol on
this keyboard? now that is waaay OT. LOL) Can't afford a Prius but a Vespa
is looking damn good.

LOL! Hey, about a month ago, we paid $3.24 for gas at Baker, that's an oasis
halfway between LA and Las Vegas. They know they've got you!

The same Exxon station I went by before was $3.50/gallon for regular &
$3.70/gallon for premium Sat afternoon.

Jake bought a gallon of gas. Also, there was Claire's rant and then her
driving a Prius later.

btw, what is StFU?

You know, Klaus, normally I have plenty of tolerance for those who like
to enforce OT "rules", but you know what? This group is dying. The
series is over, why not cut us some slack and let us visit a little
longer before we part ways.

well said... but there is still plenty to talk about. And there's still
the season 5 DVDs and extras to talk about someday. And the actors and
directors and writers will surely be doing new and interesting things.
(Noticed a poster of the new Jim Jarmusch movie at the mini-mall near me and
Frances Conroy is listed. I've got to see that!)

I'd like to know is what this has to do with SFU:

I am with Tina on this one. I understand keeping on topic, but I am a
little reluctant to see this group go. I found this group only a few months
ago. I read a lot of different groups & only 1 out of 10 is really
interesting and/or helpful. This group is usually thoughtful,
thought-provoking, insightful & nice. I am going to miss it.

Nantucket, Mass:
$3.14.9 [regular] on 8/18/05 [it was a headline in the local paper,
actually].
It was 3.59.9 yesterday [9/02/05]
[Both prices were at the "cheapest", and most "out-of-the-way", gas station
on-island.]
