Diesel at Sheetz is still $2.79, 6 cents below 87.
PS
It is gorgeous sunshine and 84 degrees today. Just went snorkeling with the turtles.
i've actually been buying mostly 91+ octane lately, for about $2.97. MA/NH. bring the heat!

Back in my neck of the woods, I think about the cheapest 87 runs is $2.899, while 89 is around $3+. Oddly, I've seen some stations where Diesel is cheaper than 87 octane.
I am going on a little road trip in a few days (only a couple hundred miles)...maybe I should try to hyper-mile the E55....but I doubt I will have the self control.

I got lucky as my fill-up today at the usual place was only $2.929 :shades: . Everyone else (Shell/Mobil/BP/Speedway) jumped yesterday afternoon from $3.029 average to $3.159. I was expecting to pay at least $3.029 as my usual spot is always a dime to fifteen cents lower. I hate to think what it is in the city, particularly downtown Chicago :sick:
Comparing the other stations' fuel prices of $3.159 on average, this area didn't hit that amount until July 12th 2006., about 2 months.
So we're running about 2 months ahead of schedule, what gives? :confuse:
Any of you notice this as well in your areas?
PS
Gas here on the Big Island is averaging about $3.17 per gallon as of yesterday. That is cheaper than the San Diego average of over $3.31 per gallon.
Just saw this article, notice the pic of the San Francisco station:
$3 Fuel
Yikes!!! :surprise:
Forget $3, they're already at $4!!!! :sick: :sick:
by the end of summer they could be pushing $5 dollars a gallon I heard on the news. :surprise:

Well I Paid $2.92 at Walley World around noon. I might have to get another gift card to save a few extra cents at the pump as I would of only paid $2.90.

Oil is a commodity and subject to the rules of trade. The big advantage to this high priced oil is more exploration is being done. Companies like Exxon and BP would like to sell more at $60 a barrel. They are happy selling it at $40 per barrel.

P.S. I have no buddy's at Wal-Mart :P
Just checked the highest gas price for this area using "gas buddy" and it is $3.05 here in Dumas for the highest price. It is unusaul for Dumas, to be cheaper than Amarillo. :surprise:
-Rocky
$5/gallon!! $500K for 1500 sq ft houses, what the H*LL is going on on the west coast.
That must mean us in the mid-west are going to hit $4.
They need to retire as billionaires - they need money to put cheeseburgers on their BK Whoppers!! Eating a plain Whopper is so multi-millionaire-ish!!
Thanks for the heads-up on fuel prices. I may be down there, well the Houston area and then on to McAllen / Brownsville area anyway, at the end of the month.

What the cuff is going on? :confuse: :mad:
Do you have a choice ? I guess the bike or walking is a alternative if you don't need to go far.

P.S. 94' Ultra has left the merket in Penn. ? :surprise:
Heck, I'll drink "Sam's Choice" soda, but my Seville STS and Fleetwood Brougham deserve the Cristal or Dom Perignon of gasoline!

I had at least 2 gallons if not more left in my tank when I filled up yesterday. The gas pump said it took over 26 gallons, and it still was not completely filled up? How can this be? The math does not add up.
It's bad enough that we have to pay these outrageous prices of $3.60+ a gallon for the past couple of months, but to have the stations rip us off and tell us we are getting more than we actually are, is just down right WRONG.
I asked the attendant when they last had their meters on their pumps checked and calibrated? She said last month. I asked her then how in the world could the pump say that my Tahoe took over 26 gallons when the tank only holds 26? And that's only if the tank was completely out of fuel and then filled up to the brim. She just nodded her head and said, uh I don't know!
I wish that I knew who to talk to about this because it has to be illegal. Imagine how much the gas station is making under the table. This was at the ARCO right next to Hwy 14 on West Palmdale Blvd., Palmdale CA.
Example: They are saying that they sold you 26 gallons, but in reality they only sold you 24 gallons. So they have 2 gallons left over and also charged you for 2 gallons that you did not get. Now lets make those 2 gallons 500 gallons a day. This is not only a lot but it is also a felony.
It's to bad that the District Attorney in Palmdale CA hasn't got the balls to do anything about this. Or maybe there's some kind of kick back going on. Palmdale has grown from approximately 60K to over 130k in population just in the past decade. That also means that more roads, houses, schools, etc. need to be built see where I'm going with this. Someone has to pay and if they can’t pass yet another bill to tax us more, well then they figured out another way to get our money. Now imagine that 75% of approximately 200 gas stations are doing this. So multiply 500 gallons a day time 150 stations = $75,000.00 a day is being ripped off. I can not prove any of this other than what I said happened to me yesterday when I filled up. I did get a receipt and would love to see them squirm their way out of this one.
Wow, imagine if!, the war has to be paid for and it is costing billions. Are they really taking the money from the social security? Don't even get me going on that one. Or are they doing like I suggested the City of Palmdale CA is doing, except on a larger scale across the country? This would add up to billions we all over paid for gas.
Well maybe someone might read this and then it might get passed on and eventually get to the right person or the wrong person. :confuse:
I saw something like this years ago on Dateline.
Phillips and another person went around to different gas stations, I believe out-east but may have been west coast, and found the same thing. They found stations were grossly overcharging people by 2 ~ 3 gallons, or the pumps were set to jump by 10 ~ 30 cents. It all started when a gentleman kept gas records for his minivan, went to fill-up and noticed that the pump registered 22 gallons, though his tank was only 18 and he had about a 1/4 tank of fuel left. Same as you he asked what happened, attendant said they didn't know, the shrugged-up shoulders. He called, complained, found others with the same problem and Dateline picked it up from there. What was happening was that most people were just paying attention to the dollar amount, say buying $10 or $20 bucks worth, instead of looking at the actual gallons. So the stations were cheating people all day / every day.
Long story short, in every instance the stations were gouging people, with the pumps registering a certain amount of gallons when in fact less was pumped, or if the right amount of gallons were pump, the price didn't match.

Please let us know how it turns out.
Average for the city is $3.04
Have not noticed less driving and have not noticed people slowing down.
I guess we are adapting/accepting these prices, which makes me mad.
Plus = $Crazy9/10

Do I recall correctly that after Hurriane Katrina there was discussion about how each major city required a different blending of fuels? St. Louis was one. That was when the government suspended the requirements for all the special fuels to expedite refinery efficiency and delivery.
Of course a couple of new refineries 20 years ago would have helped. But the politicians and green groups don't want new refineries built.
