What did you last pay for gas?

I paid $3.11 couple days ago for regular unleaded gas! I wish the darn prices would stop bouncing around so much!

 

$2.09 in Salt Lake.

 

Gas is now $2.71 for 87 octane in my area (up from $2.65 a couple of days ago). The highest that I have seen is down by our airport (it was $2.84 for 87 octane 3 days ago).

 

$2.64 last thursday
$2.84 by friday

Forgot to look today -as the tank is full on the Durango - it only drove to Golf this weekend twice.

 

$2.99 / Gallon for 87. What a Bargain!!! NOT!!!

 

I wish it was that cheap here. Latest price: $3.01

2.87 for 87 @ a 66

 

This morning at BP
2.84 for 89 (ethanol)
2.94 for 87
3.08 for 91

It's been the same for 2 days now.

 

$2.48 for the lowest grade at costco in Salt Lake.
Las Vegas was $2.91 is what I saw yesterday.

 

Shell nearest me -
2.99/9
3.12/9
3.25/9

Downtown-
3.23/9
3.35/9
3.47/9

Why is it that the closer you are to a refinery the higher the gas prices?

 

still the same this morning.

 

Just went by the cheap gas station today and regular was $3.09.

Premium at the expensive station was up to $3.35

 

$2.97 Was $44 to fill up my car!

I was looking at how gas prices have exploded since 2003. Remember anything notable about 2003?

 

Uh, we weren't in Iraq?

 

Gas is down slightly at $2.99 for 87 octane at Shell. Most other stations are charging $3.02 for 87 octane.

It was $28 to fill up my car halfway yesterday afternoon.

 

2.79.................

 

RANT: Jay's Quest for Gasoline...

I tell you, some-thing's up here. I drove to my Mom's as a last minute thing on Sunday. Usually if I'm planning to go I won't buy gas all week so I arrive with my tank just above Empty, and fill-up with cheap gas. Anyway, when I went to leave I drove 5 miles to the 7-11 at Lake Arrowhead (The closest station to my Mom's house). They were OUT OF GAS. I figured ok, I'll just buy gas in Manassas. The next station I came to was the 7-11 at the intersection of 28 & the Prince William Parkway (about 15 miles away) was OUT OF GAS. I drove about 5 miles down the parkway to the next station, the 7-11 at the intersection of the Parkway & Balls Ford Road, right off of I-66. Surely they have gas. They wouldn't let a station right off the interstate run out, right? WRONG AGAIN. Instead of getting on the highway I decided to go down Balls Ford Road towards Sudley Road. I stopped at the next station (A 7-11 again!) and they had signs that they were out of Midgrade & premium, but they had 87 octane, and it was $0.12 cheaper than the cheapest station at home so I took it. I got 5 gallons in my tank, and then THEY RAN OUT OF GAS!!! I ended up finishing my fill-up at the RaceTrac station on Sudley Road.:clap:

Anyway, what the is going on? Last year during the hurricane production facilities were leveled. Fuel was expensive, but I never encountered a station out of gas. Its a good thing I didn't drive to Mom's on Empty as I usually do or I would have run out of gas in the middle of nowhere. I know 7-11. I used to be a night manager for them in college. They're not withholding on purpose. They know if they're out of gas you're not coming inside to buy coffee & big gulps which are almost pure profit. It is unfortunate that in rural Virginia the only stations around are pretty much 7-11's. I passed no other stations along the way.

:whisper: I've advised all my friends to fill-up when they get to 1/4 tank. If I was down to Empty I would have run out of gas in the middle of nowhere.

 

Yesterday
3.15/9
3.25/9
3.35/9

Today
3.11/9
3.21/9
3.31/9

That's at the station across from work. Near my home they all leveled off at about 2.99/9 > and stayed there.... so far.

 

I paid $3.67 for premium at a Chevron in Loma Linda, California. I refused to fill it up completely. My break-off point is $40. I'm glad I now live only a mile from work, otherwise I'd be hating my car.

BTW, this was the first time I've bought gas in 3 weeks, and I still had about a quarter of a tank left.

 

I just paid $2.77 for 87 octane here in town.

Mike! Good to hear from you....are you closer to LA now then you were before?

 

Re: RANT: Jay's Quest for Gasoline...

Damn, that is strange. Maybe the local distribution company had some issues that day.

 

$2.79 for 87 octane this morning on the way to work.

 

We're at
2.79
2.89
3.03

It's been there for a few days now.

I know it's about 5-10 cents cheaper in Cedar rapids (20 mi north) and probably that in Des Moines, too (110 mi west)

I'd like to see it down by 2.57 again.

Jay - maybe they're boycotting gas!

I know that there are a few stations around here that said they will not be selling gas, only groceries & such, until it costs less for them to buy it.
