    Our Citgo has 87 for $1.41 now. Went up to North Carolina this past weekend and got 87 in Georgia for $1.06, almost wet my pants I was so happy!

    sandman46-

    Here in So. CT- Citgo 87 $165.9, 89 is $1.73.9 and super premium is $1.79.9. These prices have been dropping, but not fast enough considering that the tankers come right into the harbor here so there's NO long distance delivery! Just a RIPOFF!!!!!!!!

    Our Citgo dropped the price for 87 down to $1.39 and here's hoping for a further reduction soon. Fastdriver, I used to spend time in Clinton CT., you anywhere around there?

    Not far away- about 20 minutes south of there. I used to have a house in Tamarac and also Lake Worth. I love FL especially in the winter!

    Gas at my corner Quik Trip has gone back up to $1.279 a gallon for 87 octane after having been as low as $1.179 a gallon.
  • fangio2fangio2 Member Posts: 214
    Saw a low of $1.06 in Mauldin SC today.
  • lariat1lariat1 Member Posts: 461
    Up here in Alaska it is $1.66 a gal for regular unleaded. And that is 2 miles from the pipeline and refinery.

    At a $1.06 gal for gas I may drive up and buy some milk it's$2.99 a gal here.
  • mmcbride1mmcbride1 Member Posts: 861
    Denver never got to $2.00 for regular. I think about the highest I ever saw was $1.80 or so. It's hovering around 1.50-1.60 now.

    Premium is the only grade that ever got over $2.00 here (thankfully).
  • fastdriverfastdriver Member Posts: 2,273
    This was a first around here! So. CT- newly re-modeled CITGO gas station was having a sale today! $1.29 for 87 octane. $1.39 for 89 and $1.49 for premium 93. I still had a 1/4 of a tank, but I filled up anyway. These prices won't last long around here!

  • mykemmykem Member Posts: 203
    The Amoco raised their prices ten cents in one day to 1.43 (from 1.33)

    Luckily I don't go there. Now I almost always go to Meijer, since they don't seem to gouge the consumer (as much) like the 'Big Guys' do.

    After a temporary respite, prices in Paradise have regained the top spot. According to the latest news reports, the rest of the country has generally had a reduction in average prices, while premium here has now reached $2.119 for self-serve at some downtown Honolulu stations, higher than a lot of suburban areas.

    Costco has reduced 92 premium to $1.959, matching the local Aloha brand at my neighborhood Island Mini-Mart. No one else is under $2.00. I haven't seen Tesoro's weekly promotion of "any grade, same price" lately. Last one about three weeks ago was $1.839/gallon.

    Milk is more expensive than gas. Price clubs are $3.49/gallon for the local stuff; close to $5.00 at supermarkets unless there's a "special."

    In Atlanta, GA. our average price for:
    --87 is: $1.16
    --89 is: $1.26
    --93 is: $1.36
    this is not bad for a well populated area!
  • sandman46sandman46 Member Posts: 1,798
    Citgo had 87 regular for $1.34 on thursday and it's probaly a little lower now. Strange stuff going on lately but am very happy. Going back to North Carolina next weekend and hope to find the $1.06 87 regular in South Carolina again.
  • wilcoxwilcox Member Posts: 582
    Mr. Speedway has 87 now for $ 1.16. Add ten cent to each grade up...

    It getting better, but would like to see another ten cent decrease! Greedy, I guess...

    Just paid $1.329 for 87 octane and the price has remainded the same all week. Last weekend in southern GA paid $1.12 which felt real nice! How weird is that, my have times changed. Paid $.33 back in high school in the late 60's so I guess an extra $ per gallon 32 years later isn't that bad, everything's relative!
  • wickedmuslimwickedmuslim Member Posts: 2
    Albertsons just had a "gas sale" it was 87---$1.09 the cheapest in all of houston I think. Thats over though, now its
    87--$1.19
    89--$1.29
    92--$1.39
  • mykemmykem Member Posts: 203
    Aurora, IL- 1.459

    Yorkville, IL- 1.259

    Plano, IL- 1.379

    The cities along US Route 34 going west from Aurora are -- Yorkville (10 miles) and Plano (16 miles).

    Would you drive 20 miles round trip to save 20 cents per gallon?

    Up two, down one, up one, down two....better than it was this spring!
  • akanglakangl Member Posts: 3,282
    haven't gone down in months!!

    87 octane $1.61
    90 octane $1.80
    Diesel $1.57
  • ezaircon4jcezaircon4jc Member Posts: 793
    that gas in Alaska is cheaper than in So Cal?

    San Diego area Arco (we don't have independents here!):
    87: $1.639
    89: $1.739
    91: $1.839

    and for name brand 92 octane, $1.879 and up!

    All the other majors are $.02 to $.05 a gallon higher than Arco.

    I took a road trip from San Antonio to San Diego the last week of July. (all prices for 87 octane)We paid $1.14 in S.A. and in Las Cruces. $1.35 in the rest of New Mexico and $1.45 in Arizona. In San Diego I paid $1.75. We loved the city, but I'm glad I only had to buy one tank of gas there. The price dropped 30 cents just by crossing the border.
  • ezaircon4jcezaircon4jc Member Posts: 793
    Not really. We are $.15+ a gallon higher than in L.A. My mom told me that regular was around $1.259 in Fresno. That is in the central valley. From what I hear the bay area is worse!
  • hood54hood54 Member Posts: 12
    How do these gasoline wholesalers get away with it? I just paid $1.10 for 87 octane at Sam's here in San Antonio. On the way I ran some errands and saw Exxon and Racetrack at $1.27 and Stop n Go and Coastal at $1.19. Quite a range of prices in a small area.
  • im_brentwoodim_brentwood Member Posts: 4,883
    Sam's does not have to:

    Pay for a franchise.

    Bill
    PS: Sam's in Orlando, (West Colonial Drive/Hwy 50 near Ocoee) which buys their gas from Mobil, has regular at $1.19 (IIRC..) and I paid $1.369 for 93 octane (Up from $1.349 2 weeks ago.. they're higher than most gas stations on cigs tho.. go figure)

    Yesterday Mr. Patel had 87 octane at $1.14. Today, that mulla raised it to $1.25! That (*&^%$$%^&*(()... Waaahahaha!
  • im_brentwoodim_brentwood Member Posts: 4,883
    kc,

    Highest I've seen Premium inOrlando, FL is like $1.469 or so!

    It's closer to $1.60/gal for premium in South Florida though.

    Another reason I dont miss living in Tenafly!! :)

    Bill
  • KCRamKCRam Member Posts: 3,516
    Tenafly? Hahaha - add about 10 cents to the above prices. You have to hit the no-name places around Hackensack to do better.

    When I lived in Alpine there was one Gas station in town.

    On Closter Dock Rd IIRC.. They sold pretty much CAM 2 Only.. Like $2.50+/Gal.

    Only cars I ever saw getting fuel there were exotics... Still doesnt beat the time I saw a guy in a Countach pull up behind me at a gas station on 9W (Right by where it splits off into Lemoine ave).

    I'm filling my car with 93. HE WAS FILLING HIS WITH REGULAR!

    Bill
  • KCRamKCRam Member Posts: 3,516
    Bill,

    That Cam 2 station is still on CDR - I know exactly which one you're talking about. Next time I'm up there, I'll eyeball the pumps and see what they're charging these days.

    And I saw plenty of stuff on 9W - my old office was just across 9W and down a side street from the old Prentice-Hall building. The Ferrari building is still over there - now THAT is a place with serious security. Our FedEx courier told us she went in there with a trainee during her regular rounds and she got the MAJOR third degree as to why she wasn't alone, and who was this person...

    Seeing as how that's where they PDI those little Italian theft magnets... :))

    The really Ironic thing is the Hyundai dealer (It was Motor World.. what is it now? East Coast IIRC?) is across the street!!

    I always got a laugh out of that.

    FofNA is a great place... Nice people too. Next time Im in town if'n ya want I'll sees if I can gets ya a tour...

    "Chicago gas has risen over 15 cents, with some stations rising over 20 cents, in less than two weeks."

    1.549 at Meijer
    1.599 at Amoco (1.649 and 1.699 for higher grades)
    1.639 at Citgo
    1.679 at Shell (What are they smoking?)

    What really grinds my gears is that there was a refinery fire here a couple days ago... at a Citgo refinery. The news media is screaming about how that will affect gas prices...

    Wouldn't that only affect Citgo prices?

    -m
  • corsicachevycorsicachevy Member Posts: 316
    I live in Madison, Wisconsin and we too are being affected by the Chicago refinery fire. Mykem, you said that gas price went up 15 to 20 cents over the past two weeks in your market.

    That's nothing.

    Our local news stations ran that refinery story, hyped the devastating impact it will have on midwestern fuel supplies and - presto - an immediate 25 cent increase in gasoline prices. I couldn't believe it. One day! ONE DAY - and the gas prices went up 25 cents. Premium at the local Mobile station is now selling for $2.15 a gallon. Unreal.
  • ezaircon4jcezaircon4jc Member Posts: 793
    Our prices as well as octane are going down! 92 is now 91 and 89 is 88.5 at some stations. It REALLY is getting tough living in paradise!
  • mykemmykem Member Posts: 203
    Michigan stations were all between 1.49 and 1.59 for regular. Most highway off-ramp stations were at 1.55.

    Indiana highway signs all had prices in the 1.60-1.67 range. Where I finally pulled off because of a restroom break and just being tired of sitting in construction, the station was selling at 1.49.

    Sorry that it has been sometime since my last report from the Kansas City area.

    My local QT is now selling 87 octane for $1.44 a gallon. It has been this way for about a week.

    We had a small increase in gas prices when OPEC announced they would be cutting back production in September. Then we had this larger price hike.

    I bet oil companies would blame the price hike on this reduction in supplies even though it has not taken place yet.

    1.89, 1.99, 2.09 at some places.

    1.95, 2.05, 2.15 at other places.

    Nickel here, dime there. About up 30 cents in two weeks if I recall correctly.

    (it was 1.65 on the 18th of August).

    the last two days, north side of Chicago (worst gas tax in the nation, I think) at cheapo stations:

    87 octane=199.9 at Clark
    92 octane=220.9 at Speedway (put $40 and change in the brother's Blazer just today, fortunately on his dime)

    Next car I think will be a Japanese 5 speed, can't deal with this fluctuation BS. Gas was $1.50 like 6 weeks ago.
  • akanglakangl Member Posts: 3,282
    87 Octane - $1.60
