    I can be in Manhattan in 1-1/2 - 2 hours.

    There's a lot of coast hear but anybody that's selling to boats has the price way jacked up.

    I'll be in Manhattan tomorrow. Remind me to not run out of gas in the city. The prices and insane.

    Sunoco at Rhawn and Verree in NE Philly:

    RUG = $3.47
    Plus = $3.57
    Ultra = $3.71

    What's weird is that it is 5 to 11 cents less elsewhere. This knucklehead deserves to lose business!

    $3.59 in State College
  • fezofezo Member Posts: 10,386
    We're in one of those funny times when the cheapest gas in on the Parkway.

    $3.33 there. $3.37 elsewhere. Same brand - Sunoco.

    Filled up last week for $3.55.

    Today it's up to $3.59.

    Bet it goes up again next week.

    Sunoco at Rising Sun and Longshore:

    RUG= $3.69
    Plus = $3.79
    Ultra = $3.94

    Up four-five cents since Sunday!
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    Drove out of town this morning and gas was still $3.59.

    Came back a couple of hours later and gas was $3.79 at one station and $3.89 at another.
  • fezofezo Member Posts: 10,386
    $3.51 Sunoco.

    Sunoco at Rhawn and Verree in NE Philly has RUG at $3.71 already! Ultra is at $3.95! I'd like to go over to Iran and stuff a nuke down that troublemaking pipsqueak's mouth and detonate it before he causes any more havoc. Then I'll go to Wall Street and torture a bunch of petroleum speculators in ways that would make Jigsaw and Hannibal Lecter puke! :mad:

  • gagricegagrice Member Posts: 31,450
    Philly is higher than Us in CA. We are only paying $4.33 for Shell regular. My Costco jumped from $3.99 on Friday to $4.25 today. If you look hard you can find premium over $5 now. Diesel is officially less than RUG here. Many stations with diesel under $4.25 a gallon. Don't you all wish you had bought a diesel Jetta. :shades:

    Paid $4.23 or something like that for Chevron premium yesterday in Bellevue WA
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    Ten cent pop to $3.89.
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,414
    Up 10 cents in a week, $4.33 for Chevron premium yesterday
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    $3.75 at a Mobile for RUG.

    Not bad, considering. Radio blurb today citing Lundberg said the national average was $3.81.
  • PF_FlyerPF_Flyer Member Posts: 9,372
    Felling like a top here in Happy Valley. Prices have been bouncing around pretty good, sometimes multiple times daily. Range I saw today for 87 was $3.66 to $3.82
  • palmer12palmer12 Member Posts: 7
    Though a little ways away, I saw a Chevron selling 92 for $1.95image
  • lemkolemko Member Posts: 15,261
    I drove past a Sunoco on the way to the store, RUG = $3.75. I come back an hour later, it jumped four cents to $3.79!
  • gagricegagrice Member Posts: 31,450
    Filled today at Costco today. It was down to $4.17 from a high of $4.29. Most stations are still at $4.39, so I was surprised when I pulled up to the pump.
  • fezofezo Member Posts: 10,386
    What the heck am I supposed to do? I won't be passing a gas station for three or four months....

  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    Just got home from the road trip - haven't run the numbers but it looks like the gas bill is ~$840 for ~4,300 miles.

    $3.99 was the usual price in lower Michigan yesterday and today. Got some in the UP for $3.95 this afternoon. That was a bit odd; usually we're ten or twenty cents higher above the bridge than down south. Haven't looked at the local stations yet.
  • PF_FlyerPF_Flyer Member Posts: 9,372
    On the way into the office at 7:30 AM... $3.85 (which was up 6 cents from 2 days before)

    At 2 PM... $3.95

    All the while, the radio airwaves are plastered with campaign ads telling me how Obama's energy plan is a REAL plan that's reducing our dependence on foreign oil.

    Ya know... if JUST SAY NO was stupid for drugs, it's REALLY stupid for gasoline.

    Does the guy have ANY clue? I think not.

    Here is the Current Obama Energy Plan....

  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    Regular is $4.04 here. Feels like I'm living in LA. :shades:

    I don't see demand falling anytime soon, but it was nice to be able to get on my bike yesterday and run errands.
  • gagricegagrice Member Posts: 31,450
    Even though Costco dropped, our local Shell and Chevron are hanging in at $4.45. Diesel is the bargain here at $4.49. It has not moved for a couple months.
  • PF_FlyerPF_Flyer Member Posts: 9,372
    It would be interesting if actual demand had ANYTHING to do with it :shades:
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    Let me know when you notice the streets and highways emptying. :)
  • imidazol97imidazol97 Member Posts: 27,674
    > ...highways emptying...

    Saving gas?

    I did notice yesterday on I70 to Columbus and today on I75 to and today to Cincinnati that people followed me in the right hand lane at my nominal cruising speed of 60/62 mph in 65 zones. I chalk it up to people saving gas by cruising a little slower when they're not in a hurry.

  • PF_FlyerPF_Flyer Member Posts: 9,372
    Gonna be more about combining trips when possible, just not doing one trip a week, things like that...but demand definitely will respond to the price.

    Doesn't take much to back up product in the pipeline :shades:
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,414
    Paid $4.43 for Chevron premium today. Regular is over $4 everywhere here now.

    Sunoco at Rising Sun and Longshore:

    RUG= $3.81
    Plus = $3.91
    Premuim = $4.01
    Ultra = $4.07

    I keep my ride topped-off all the time nowadays! At this rate, it would cost almost $82 to fill my Cadillac DTS. We're driving the LaCrosse a lot these days as it takes RUG and gets the best fuel economy. We're all being ROBBED and are taking it like a bunch of cowering sheep!
  • gagricegagrice Member Posts: 31,450
    Must be nice to have such CHEAP gas in Philly. You can pay over $5 for premium in San Diego city. RUG is up to $4.89 in places. The good news would be the price of diesel matching RUG at many stations. And I don't have anything but a diesel tractor.
  • explorerx4explorerx4 Member Posts: 20,723
    paid 4.139 (credit) for RUG, taking 22.3 gallons for a nice total of $92.31.
    At least the tank lasted a couple of weeks.

  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    For two days gas jumped to $4.09, then today it came back down to $4.04. Can't figure that one out.

    Usually it pops up every couple of days and always takes a month to come down.
  • PF_FlyerPF_Flyer Member Posts: 9,372
    Yea... the way I'm describing it is like a pulse that's "thready"... feels like something is ready to give
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,414
    Paid $4.45 for Chevron premium yesterday, then did the normal line of being stuck at negligently managed traffic controls. Maybe if we hit $5 there will finally be enough outcry to get our beloved "traffic engineers" to actually earn their healthy pay and ginormous benefits.
  • gagricegagrice Member Posts: 31,450
    When I moved to this little town there was only one stop light. 5 years later we have 5 in town. They are all smart lights with camera sensors. If I am coming up to the left turn lane with no traffic on the main street it gives me the green arrow. Saves a lot of time waiting for a preset cycle to run.

    RUG = $3.85

    The last time I got gas for my Mercury Grand Marquis, I went to the Giant gas station across from the store. If you buy $100+ in groceries, you can get 10 cents off a gallon.
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    Filled up the van; ~15 gallons at $4.07.

    The big news was that the one sort of close station is no longer ethanol free. They've joined the crowd (and their gas price is now on a par with everyone else too).
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    Now have 8 miles on that tank from the other day. Naturally gas went down a dime throughout most of Michigan and the local pumps are down to $3.99.

    I could have bought a lottery ticket with the savings. :)
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    A reporter would like to speak to someone who buys ethanol-free gasoline. If you consistently purchase ethanol-free gasoline (aka pure gas), and you are willing to speak to a reporter about why you purchase ethanol-free gas rather than the E10 blends sold at most filling stations, please email PR@edmunds.com no later than 10 a.m. Pacific /1 p.m. Eastern Friday, April 20, 2012 with your daytime contact information.
  • gagricegagrice Member Posts: 31,450
    I filled at Costco today $4.09. Lowest price since January.
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    Filled up out of town today for $3.79 RUG.
  • jae5jae5 Member Posts: 1,206
    was for euro 1.78/liter, roughly 55 euro total for the Auris. Most locales along E40 & E403 are euro 1.96/liter.
