My last two tanks for 92 were 1.99 and 1.95.
89 is 10c less. Around here you have to pull down your pants and bend over at the gas pump (bring lots of vaseline!)

hiwaysanity · March 2001

OPEC announced a 4% reduction in supply this morning. "Experts" disagree on the effects, some saying up to $.30/gal at the pump, some saying essentially no increase (so much for experts!) Let's see the effects in the next month or so.

Central Massachusetts, best prices around my area:

Reg $1.499
Mid $1.619
Hi $1.699

prophet2 · March 2001

Honolulu prices were pretty stable the past few months. Costco, where cash in no good (must be Costco member and use credit card), 87 is 1.829, 92 is 1.979, both down 0.01. No "plus" (89) available. At other places, "plus" runs 0.08 - 0.10 above regular.

Everyone else is over $2.00 for premium (2.029 to 2.129). Neighbor island rural areas go over 2.30 for premium. The recent reduction was about 0.02 max.

mykem · March 2001

Chicago IL (higher gas taxes than my suburb below): 1.69, 79, 89.

Aurora IL: 1.419, 51, 61 at Amoco and Mobil

$1.19 reg
$1.29 plus

Chevron in Gwinnett County. Most local stations are the same or close. Quik Trip a bit cheaper.

ejonavin · March 2001

Get this... this morning most gas stations were charging 63.9 cents/litre, but 5:00pm it's all at 74 cents/litre.

This seems to happen every Monday/Tuesday night, so I always fill up on Mondays to get the lowest price.

dranoel · March 2001

I just returned from a 6000 mile trip to the southwest from Ohio. The lowest regular gas price was in Oklahoma City at $1.199 and the highest was in Williams,AZ at $1.869.

When I drove from Florida to NJ last week...lowest price was Georgia...1.12.9/gal.

mykem · March 2001

I go to work on the train, pass a Thorntons, 1.32.

I come back home, 1.52!!!!!

So, I decide to fill up somewhere -- before this price-hike catches on.

Mobil, 1.47, Meijer 1.56!

Finally, I make it to a local Citgo at 1.41. Good.

Well, I was the last person to get gas at that price! AS I'M FILLING UP, they're raising the price to 1.47! I locked in at 1.41, but as soon as I put the nozzle back, all the prices were ending in '7'.

WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!???!?!! I am serious! If anyone has the slightest insight, let me in on it!

Last night my friend gassed up with PREMIUM for 1.49!

hiwaysanity · March 2001

Today:

Reg $1.459
Mid $1.619
Hi $1.659

That's about a nickel a gallon cheaper than March 17 when OPEC slowed production. So far so good. Do you suppose Illinois isn't seeing the predicted $.30 increase first (scratching head qiizically)?

Bellevue, WA Union 76 Regular Self serve 1.699 Olympia, WA Chevron Regular Self serve 1.439 Longview, WA Chevron Regular Self serve 1.539 Woodland, WA Safeway Regular Self serve 1.439 Cosco sells gas as does Safeway, but brand is not known. Only in America, spend $40,000 for a car & put in unknown brand or quality of fuel to save a couple of bucks per tank.

Safeway (the supermarket) sells gas? Not here, but Costco reduced their prices by $0.02 recently. Premium is now $1.959. Others have also inched down, with the lowest at $2.019.

A new Tesoro opened a few weeks ago with a five-day special: all grades for $1.839. Long lines, especially by taxis and limos.

wishnhigh1 · April 2001

What brand does everybody trust most, and why. And if not brand loyal, state why.

SPYDER98 · April 2001

I've seen the lowest prices at Stop&Shop gas stations and Hess stations.
Lowest regular I've seen lately has been $1.47

No brand loyalty from me anymore...if its cheap and it burns...Fill'er up!

mykem · April 2001

But I do stay away from some brands. I'm not sure if I can mention them here so I won't.

Shell is usually most expensive.
Mobil and Amoco are neck-n-neck in the middle.
Meijer, Marathon and Citgo are in my price range (lowest).
The Speedway in town doesn't have Pay-at-the-Pump so that's why I don't pay much attention to them.

And the lower ones I've heard bad stories about rusted tanks, fuel lines, etc., indicitave of water or just plain bad fuel.

Safeway is the parent of a local chain here in IL named Dominick's. I saw one station with the Dominick's name ready to go in the Dominick's parking lot. I thought it odd as well. I hope I can use my Saver's Card!

1.469 at Meijer, 1.479 at Citgo, 1.539 at Mobil, 1.599 at Shell. See!

The prices I quoted were from the 3rd when I passed by. Now, all up four more cents overnight.

Price collusion is alive and well over here!

What do these companies do? Pick a number out of their......

Drives me bonkers, I tells ya.

wilcox · April 2001

That's about the best way I know of to describe price fluxuation around here. Nothing happening.

The range is still $1.19 to $1.24 for regular...maybe there is something coming down the pipe from the north. Wish it was a price decrease to help the economy.

geok991 · April 2001

$1.75 for Mercedes. (H.T.)

Hi $1.699

mykem · April 2001

Surely I must have more time than others here. Or I'm just fed up and notice the prices daily.
Or I'm just lucky to live where the price changes according to the weather forecast.

Another 4 cents today at the Mobil...

1.619, 1.719 and 1.819.

The prices change as often as I change my clothes! Who knows... maybe more often.

PF_Flyer · April 2001

Hmmm... don't know what the reason is, but prices jumped in the last day or so from $1.39 up to $1.47

That kind of thing usually occurs around home football weekends!

where were we... I took a couple days off from posting since it's not good to post angry...

1.67, 1.77, 1.87 at Shell.
1.66, 1.77, 1.87 at Mobil.
1.59, 1.69, 1.79 at Citgo.
1.53, 1.63, 1.73 at Meijer.

Chicago, with higher Cook County and a local City tax:
1.79, 1.89, 1.99 at Mobil and Shell.

News reports are that the incredible price increase are due to 'unexpected demand' and the summer season. Also in the MidWest, the EPA figureheads thought it would be nice to implement some sort of re-reformulated gasahol which gets crummier mileage but burns cleaner. I don't know... I'm more a fan of burning less resources. Supposedly it's also more difficult to manufacture. Mandatory to be in the ground by June 1. It's not certain if the stations with raised prices even have the new gas, so they may just be making the 25c/gal profit on the consumer.

Escondido, CA (30 mi NE of San Diego) off of I15 at Shell last night:

perry40 · April 2001

Well, the provincial govt. announced this morning that it will impliment Gas Price Regulation by May 24th ... and by this afternoon gas was up by 4.0 cents/litre to 84.9 cents Cdn. for one litre of fuel @#$%*!! For our American friends, $0.849 Cdn = $0.546 US and 1.0 US Gal. = 3.78541 litres ... so, 3.78 x $0.546 US = $2.07 US ($3.22 Cdn.) per US Gallon in St. John's, Nfld ... the highest price of any major Canadian city ...
For our British & Canadian friends 1.0 Imperial Gallon = 4.54609 litres ... 4.546 x $0.849 = $3.86 Cdn ($2.48 US) per Imp. Gal.

wilcox · April 2001

Last Saturday, based on mykems and other posters, I rushed all of our vehicles over to the nearest station. Price was $1.22 (up three cents). Filled every cubic centimeter of tank space at that price. I wish that I could have taken 500 gallons home with me.

Yesterday (wednesday), price had rocketed to $1.38! Who knows what today will bring....?

Recently, it happens this way every year. Around the first half of April prices "spike" upwards!

-------------------------------------------------

Another blurb mentions that the yearlong investigation of the FTC shows that refiners withheld gasoline to maximize profits.

Refiners also report gasoline stockpiles are lower than last year's.

-------------------------------------------------

Meijer popped up to 1.66. At least they seem more honest than most. :-/
