What did you last pay for gas?

Fair question. So what should he do to lower prices?

My Way News - McCain Proposes Break in Gas Taxes

 

McCain has a great idea there. I think its the best idea so far to stimulate the economy. However, with a democrat majority in congress it will never get passed.

-Jay

 

True, but the President could sign an executive order to stop filling the reserve for a while. And I believe also, to put a hold on the collection of the tax.

Venezuela and Iran subsidize gas to keep their citizens from revolting. It was less than .25 a gallon in Venezuela. They make the difference up on the rest of the world.

 

And aside from that. What would you like him to do to fix gas prices? Or for that matter Congress?

 

That is the McCain plan... A tax holiday over the summer, and withholding the addition of fuel to the reserves.

going to work this morning... I paid $3.25 for Unleaded. After work, I drove past the same station & the price changed up to $3.29. YAY... I saved a whole .04 Cents / Gallon cuz I'm a bargain hound!!!

 

$3.49 for 87 octane @ the Sunoco off exit 46 I-90 in Rochester, NY. Man it is expensive. Its $.30 higher than it is back in Boston! I've only got a 12 gallon tank and it costs me $40 to fill up from empty. Its never cost me more than $35 to do so. It's just the time we live in.

 

I agree. I was saying that, the President could do that without congress. I wish he would at the least.

 

Up Up & Away!
I paid $3.19 yesterday here in Gaffney, SC (I-85 exit 90).
Today that same station is $3.31

 

$3.44

If you like the high prices and want even higher prices very soon do not call these people:

Then again they are the people who will not let us drill here for the oil that we have.

 

I fueled up in Manassas 2 nights ago for $3.32. I'm sure its higher now.

Well , $3.62 for 87 octane now in Buffalo , Tourism will be down this summer . People will not be driving near as much with these prices. Just filled up my Suburban , $145.00 . I am going to have a good cry now

 

How big of a tank do you have in that? My GMC Sierra pickup has a 21 gallon tank. It was really close to empty a few weeks ago, and I think it was almost $80 to fill it up.

-Jay

 

I don't know about Maximum Signal's Suburban, but mine holds 34 gallons. My friend has a '99 Suburban, and he says his holds 40 gallons.

 

Just paid $3.27 at HESS / Wilco on East Main Street (US-29) in Spartanburg, SC

 

$80 huh? Costs us about $750-$800 to fill up.

Granted, it's a semi, and Diesel's running $4.00+

Today, It was $4.03 in Tennessee

~*Ash*~

 

Now that is a lot of money. How many gallons does the semi hold? I wish our Diesel was that cheap in our area. Our Sprinter bus takes Diesel and the average for Diesel in my area right now is $4.19/gallon.

 

I know a station in my area where diesel is currently $3.92.

 

My dad just bought an RV, and I was trying to talk him into a diesel because they last longer and get better mileage, but dad said that since gas was $0.60/gal cheaper he was buying one with a gasoline engine. He got gas a few weeks ago, stopped at $100, and that still was only 3/4 tank.

-Jay

 

It has a 45 Gallon Tank.

 

$3.79 EXXON King of Prussia Pa. for 91. Regular was $3.56

Gas here is now an average of $3.59/gallon for 87 octane. I saw Shell with 87 for $3.69/gallon.

 

I Just paid $3.27 at HESS / Wilco on East Main Street (US-29) in Spartanburg, SC, that won't last much longer.
Average here is up to $3.35

 

Consider yourself lucky. The current national average is $3.54.

-Jay

 

Oh I know it...
I know someone in the Bay Area, CA (Palo Alto) and the lowest available gas is $3.95.

Just keep in mind the old saying, what goes up, must come down.
Eventually, but hopefully soon. :dunno:

 

Well, my gas price cap expires on June 30, (I'm capped at $3.07 until then) so hopefully the week after that! I've been looking to renew my coverage, but it just seems so expensive now. I originally paid about $40 for 6 months of coverage. Now they are asking about $130 for another 6 months, and raising my cap to about $3.50. I don't know if its going to be worth it to renew.
