Dont feel so bad up here in Alaska we are still paying $1.57 a gal and we have more oil than we know what to do with. British Petroleum (BP) was trying to defend their price gouging up here by saying that because the market up here is so small they have to charge more for gas, this morning on the radio the DJ called some little town in Oklahoma that has one gas station and 350 people their gas was $1.05. Hopefully the gas prices up here will drop sometime soon.
Hey, a fellow Alaskan!!! I know what you mean about gas prices, I just filled my Jeep up this morning in Nenana and it was 1.819 for reg unleaded.......ouch!! Normally I fill up in Fairbanks, but its still spendy. I can't understand why we pay so darn much, I mean we have the oil right here. Oh well, gotta love livin' in Alaska.
We have a refinery right next to us, the oil company just likes to stick it to us, also we do not get paid any more up here than people do down south. I heard this morning that Alaskan crude is down to $15 a barrel, the last time oil was that cheap was 1999, the price for a gallon of gas up here then was $1.20 which leads me to ask why is it $0.40 more per gallon now I dont think inflation has been running around 30 percent has it? Up here we are trapped and at the oil companies mercy.
Geez.. and I thought the cold was your only problem... yeah, I wonder what Bush will do with the oil reserves. He wants to increase the amount in stock to the number 8 years ago... hmmmm
I agree, I think gas prices here in Alaska are nuts. I just traded a 2001 Jetta GLS 1.8T for a 98 Grand Cherokee........30 mpg vs 18 mpg, BUT I don't have to pay 1.789/gal for premium unleaded anymore.
regular is still $1.359-1.459 in the north side of Chicago; if you leave Cook County, the price is lower; if I lived on the southeast side, I'd buy in Indiana, it's typically 30-50 cents cheaper.
Wall Street is also happy about falling energy prices. Cheaper oil and gas bills mean consumers, whose spending accounts for two-thirds of the economy, have more money to spend on other goods and services
today saw the lowest around $1.07 for reg--$1.17 for mid grade--my 300M runs on low test, but I use the midgrade for slightly better performance and gas mileage
My usual Sunoco truck stop, Palisades Park, NJ - price compared to November 2
87 - $1.069 - down 9 cents, down 29 from Sept 19 89 - $1.169 - down 9 cents, down 29 from Sept 19 93 - $1.249 - down 9 cents, down 29 from Sept 19 94 - $1.319 - down 8 cents, down 28 from Sept 19 diesel - $1.159 - down 4 cents, down 14 from Sept 19
FINALLY lower than my illustrious fellow host above...
Our prices are ranging from $1.29 to 1.35 for regular. I only buy regular, so didn't notice premium rates. I was happy to be paying this, till I saw what others are paying! Better than the $1.85 we were paying mid-September.
1 dollar a US gallon at the pumps around here but when you take into account lots of that is imported from from the middle east the true cost must be astronomical. R Fruth Houston
I hear that. We just went to Anchorage today and it was hanging right about the same as Fairbanks, although diesel was quite a bit less at $1.299. I swear these prices are nuts.
I didnt understand that either diesel is $0.40 cheaper in Anchorage than it is in Fairbanks.....strange, BTW on the way home I had to wait for a train headed for Anchorage loaded with gas.
After jumping up to $1.079 a gallon for 87 octane about a week before Thanksgiving, prices have gone back down to $ .999 a gallon at the Quik Trip on the corner.
In between, the price made stops at $1.059 a gallon and $1.039 a gallon.
