What did you last pay for gas?

Hi Charlyee. I hope you are having fun on your Alaskan vacation. That is a lot for gas!

When I was down in St. John about a month ago, I saw prices between $4.99 to $5.29 per gallon. There were only three gas stations to choose from, however.

 

^^ posted in January 2007, wouldn't that be awesome?

I paid $3.58 at that same store yesterday.

$3.579/gal for 87 @ Turkey Hill in Coopersburg

 

It is good to see gas prices are coming down a little..

$3.52 for 87 in Coopersburg

 

$3.33 at Hess in Spartanburg, SC

 

$3.79/gallon for 87 octane at Mobil. This is the average price around town.

 

Its pretty low here, its 3.47 a gallon for 87. Diesel was low, it was at 3.89 at one station I saw.

 

3.79 in Torrington, Ct that ia about average for here in CT. it is always higher here, damn taxes..

 

In my area, Diesel is $4.49/gallon at most stations.

 

Wow, that's got to suck. I remember that being the high here. I don't use Diesel, but still, it can't be too bad because you don't have to fill up as much right? Its still 3.47 a gallon here. I'm surprised its that low.

 

Just saw $3.99 for diesel in Gaffney, I-85 Exit 96.

 

It does suck, but there is not much that we can do. It is better than it used to be. It was as high as $4.79/gallon before we went on vacation to see my uncle during the third week of July. While we were gone, all of the prices dropped. Like you mentioned, the good thing is you do get better gas mileage with diesel. We use diesel to fill up our Sprinter bus (for our ecotour company) and we typically drive a 175 mile round trip per day for each tour and it only needs 6 gallons to fill it back up to full after each tour. This is really good considering it is about 21 feet long and 9 feet 6 inches high and weighs almost 10,000 pounds with an empty load of people.

 

That's sounds like a sick van, lol. That's really good that it gets that many miles on a single tank. If I'm ever down there, I'll try and go on one of your tours I was out and gas was down to 3.44 a gallon for 87. AHHH, I hate seeing it slow low right now yet because I'm still around a full tank I wouldn't doubt by the time I have to fill up again, prices will go up a little.

 

That sounds good. If you want, click on my user name to view my profile, go to the contact section, and click the link for my home page. You can view pictures and read about our company. Diesel costs a lot more but it pays off since some of our competitors use Ford vans and they only get about 8 to 10 miles per gallon on regular gas. With our Sprinter minibus, if you are running both AC's (the one in the front and the one for the passengers [we have a special unit on top that is digitally controlled from the front]), then we get about 22 MPG. If you are only running the front AC, then we can get between 26 to 28 MPG. This is the reason that we got the minibus. It gets really good gas mileage, has no omissions, meets all 50 state emission standards, and even meets the really strict emission standards in Europe. You can literally put your head by the tailpipe and not smell a thing.

Well your gas prices are still better than ours. It is $3.79/gallon here at most stations for 87 octane.

 

I just worked it out, that's almost 30 MPG!

That's about what I get with my Nissan Sentra SE-R on long trips. I'm not 100% sure that I would get much better mileage if I wasn't running the AC full blast while traveling at 65 mph.

Wow. I have never worked it out. We have clocked the trip before and we know the exact mileage. We then see the number of gallons needed and divide and get the average.

 

$4.19 for premium at 76. Paid $58.00 total, which is less than the $70+ of a month ago...

 

Awesome, I bet everyone else is kicking themselves for not getting a van like you all have. I recently bought a Nissan Rouge and it gets good gas mileage. I went last month from my town to San Antonio which is like 150 miles and only used about a 1/3 of a tank, I thought the gauge was wrong. Usually its a around half a tank. I'm really surprised the prices are cheap down here. They're at 3.42 a gallon now for 87.

 

Well a few of our competitors have them, but since they cost more than vans such as the E350, E450, etc., people buy the 13 passenger vans instead. A few of our competitors, however, do have the Sprinter minibus, but the majority of the eco-related companies in my area have the gas guzzlers. That is good mileage with your Rouge. I wish my Suburban got better gas mileage (it gets an average of 15 MPG in the city) but it is comfortable (since I am almost 6'3") and I can travel about 430 miles on a full tank of gas. So in reality, I am glad that I have it.

$3.54 for 91 at Phillips 66 yesterday.

 

Oh okay, I hate how people say they're ecofriendly and just look at what they drive. Wow, I'm not that tall, but it does surprisingly have a lot of room and good gas mileage. I think in the city I can go for about 2 weeks or so and not have to fill up. Holy cow, that's crazy how far you can go, I haven't tried a long distance trip with it yet. Gas went down a cent, lol. its at 3.41 now.

 

I recently attended a seminar workshop where they discussed the very issue of ecotourism and eco friendly services. That is good for a car. If I drive a lot, I usually need to fill up every week. That is the downside to driving an SUV.

 

Driving in the urban jungle that is the DC metro area I still manage to usually hit the EPA highway rating in my truck most of the time. I can't wait to take it on my next roadtrip. I'm expecting to do between 25 and 30 MPG highway, and for something that's EPA highway rated @ 16 MPG that's not bad.

-Jay

 

That is really good. I wouldn't mind getting that in my Suburban. It is too bad that 90% to 95% of the driving that I do is in the city.

 

I say why not? At least 90% of my driving is short trip stop & go city driving.

-Jay

 

Yeah, that's awesome getting above EPA. But didn't they say that the old way the EPA rated gas mileage was wrong? Same here, 98% of my driving is city, I hardly go on that many trips since my dad is in Iraq right now. I never really had a car or worried about gas till now that my parents bought me car, lol. That's got to be fun driving in DC. Oh yeah, gas went down again here, its at 3.35 a gallon for 87.

$3.399 for 87 @ Hess in Quakertown

 

I was able to pay $3.23 at Wal-Mart on US-29 in Spartanburg.

Hey lets see what impacts Hurricane Gustav will have on the crude oil & gas prices.
25% of domestic oil production is oil rigs around the gulf coast of Louisiana & Texas.
