    I moved from Los Angeles to Philly almost a year ago and gas prices were a little bit lower but not by much.I ended up paying more for gas in a few states like Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois & Indiana. I remember it was like 3.65 in Nebraska!!! It was a fun trip, 2700 miles plus. I really would love to do it again but with the way gas is and keeps going up, I may never :(

    I've seen my first station in NJ to break the $3.50 mark for regular - $3.51 at the Lukoil down the street. Very close at other stations.

    That one particular Lukoil is in a spot not close to other stations and it's always a bit more than other places. For Lukoil? Forget it.

    Yeah, I would like to do a cross-country road trip too, but don't see that in the near future.

    To get back on topic, we had another jump yesterday, mostly at the Speedways. The ones on my commute are all $3.799 for 87 octane, with the higher grades having a 10 cent spread each; diesel is running $4.399. With the weather we've had here the past 5 days they should let us run the winter blend.
  • fezofezo Member Posts: 10,386
    If nothing else we seem to have slowed the insanity here. A couple of stations have held at $3.43 for close to a week while my Shell guy is up to $3.47.

    You'll forgive me for only reporting regular but the other grades are too painful....

    Just filled the Sequoia at Costco. It is 4 cents more per gallon than Shell regular in Hilo Hawaii was on Monday.
    Costco $3.79 regular unleaded.

    Somebody slipped up. Gas prices actually dropped here a few days ago to $3.59 for 87 :shades:

    With all the news about gas tax holidays, there's a strange announcement on the Alternate Route :P

    Those shaved pennies must have wound up in Boise, since the average around town blipped up to $3.59 for RUG.
  • lostwrenchlostwrench Member Posts: 288
    Well, today the prices at the local station are
    Diesel - $4.459
    87 octane - $3.899
  • jae5jae5 Member Posts: 1,206
    After falling a couple of pennies on Monday from the weekend prices, the prices rebounded yesterday afternoon to:

    Shell / BP / Mobil / Speedway:
    $3.899 for 87, $4.019 for 89, $4.119 for premium (up from $3.779, $3.879, $3.999)

    Jewel (my new fill-up station) stayed at $3.679 for 87, so I filled up there last night. This morning up 2 cents to $3.699, with higher grades having a 10 cent spread each. (I'm actually happy about getting fuel for that price).

    Meijer's was $3.679 yesterday morning but not sure of price now.

    Gas City jumped to $3.959 for 87, $3.459 for E85, not sure for diesel. The station was empty yesterday and this morning.

    Can't wait to hear the latest thing to make us hit over $4 for regular out here in burbs (the city's been there for about a month now). Maybe that Goldman Sach's analyst can say we're headed to $250 oil, another $50 higher.

    I heard Deutsche Banke's rep and another consumer rep testify in the Congressional "hearing" last night and they said it's the chicken and egg. The speculators blame the increasing price as reason to speculate and their speculation increases the price.

  • tpetpe Member Posts: 2,342
    If speculators really are driving the price of gas above what can be supported by market fundamentals then they've created a bubble. This bubble will eventually burst and the speculators that were still betting on higher prices will get hammered. However if today's gas prices really are a result of supply/demand and our falling currency then don't hold your breath waiting for this to happen.

    Where I live gas prices had fallen 14 cents over a 7 day period up 'till yesterday. In the last 2 days they've made that all back. But oil prices are also back above $120/barrel so this doesn't seem out of line.
  • tlcruztlcruz Member Posts: 54
    Filled up today @ the halfway point. Didn't even give me 5 gallons!!

    BP in Titusville, NJ
    Unleaded . . . $3.54
    Regular . . . . $3.65
    Premium . . . $3.75

    Gulf in Titusville, NJ
    Unleaded . . . $3.53
    Regular . . . . $3.65
    Premium . . . $3.75

    I heard the national average is sitting at $3.72 right now. :(
  • jae5jae5 Member Posts: 1,206
    I wish I would have seen that. But from what you're saying, it sounds like the hearings from last year too, same 'ol same.

    This is an interesting article I came across:
    Oil and the EIA

    I liked the lines:
    "Even though retail gas prices are at close to record levels, the tremendously high price of crude oil has given refineries little motivation to make gasoline out of crude oil.

    With wholesale gasoline prices at about $128 a barrel, that is $8 or $9 a barrel premium after paying for crude at recent prices, according to Schork. He compared that yield to the same time last year, when crude was roughly $65 a barrel and gas was $100 a barrel, yielding a $35 premium.

    "That is a very small yield," said Schork. "The incentive is not there."


    :mad: :cry:

    I wonder what the fuel prices at the stations will be when I leave the office at the end of the day.

    Most Boise stations blipped:

    $3.65 unleaded
    $3.77 mixed grade
    $3.89 premium

    and diesel is up to $4.38 a gallon.
  • bumpybumpy Member Posts: 4,425
    Bump to $3.64 for 87, and $4.29 for diesel. Diesel is still better on a miles per dollar basis.
  • KCRamKCRam Member Posts: 3,516
    Mount Arlington Exxon, Mt. A NJ

    87 - $3.689
    89 - $3.839

    Moline, IL...was in the barber shop today he said the Shell station across the street changed the signs today:
    Before 10am
    87 - $3.599
    89 - $3.699
    91 - $3.799

    After 10am
    87 - $3.799
    89 - $3.899
    91 - $3.999

    Kind of sickening to think I got a "good deal" at $3.599 last night... :)

    I saw premium for well over $4 in many SW WA locations over the past few days.

    Luckily I was able to coax the E55 barely past the 25 mpg frontier on my highway trip home, so I didn't have to use as much of that stuff as some others.
  • gagricegagrice Member Posts: 31,450
    This reminds me of the 1980s when folks would take 55 gallon drums to TJ and buy gas and diesel. Gas in Mexico is very close to the same price. Diesel is a little more than half the price. The Pemex right at the border is selling diesel for $2.16 per gallon. Worth the effort to cross over and fill that truck with 30+gallon tank. Cheapest diesel in San Diego is $4.25. So you can save about $60 on a fill-up. For contractors with the 100 gallon tank in the bed it is a huge incentive.
  • explorerx4explorerx4 Member Posts: 20,723
    i saw 3.999 today for 'rug'. i filled up at another station for 3.899. but 'you know what' is probably reality after the station gets the next fill up.

  • bumpybumpy Member Posts: 4,425
    Ah, but would you really want to put Mexican diesel into an engine with all sorts of high-pressure piezo injectors? That $60 saved on the fill-up won't go too far at the dealer service counter.
  • gagricegagrice Member Posts: 31,450
    I imagine it is as good as the diesel from the 1980s. Probably not low sulfur. Most of the older PU trucks with a good fuel filter would run just fine. I know the current generation of Ford diesel would probably balk. We had problems with the diesel that was refined in Prudhoe. Lots of error codes and check engine lights. Our pre 2000 diesels ran it fine.

    This is what our truck drivers are now competing against. Since the new laws went into affect trucks from Mexico can deliver throughout the USA. Their fuel costs half of our trucking industry. Think it is coincidence the station posting those prices is right at the border?

    Sunoco on Rising Sun Avenue shows Regular at $3.67 and Ultra at $3.93 - FOUR CENT INCREASE OVERNIGHT!!! :mad:

    Can someone here give me a logical explanation of why oil would be at $126/bbl? :confuse:

    You are talking about a 6 fold increase in about 8 years. 600%.

    I have the following reasons already, but can't seem to understand why it is so high.

    War - since 2003. At that point it was what, 35-40??

    Peak oil - I don't believe this by the way. Why wasn't this an issue 10 years ago, or did we just suddenly realize that we are running out of oil?

    Demand - Sure, a 3% increase in demand yearly will do it.

    Dollar down - The dollar hasn't dropped 6 fold. At least not yet.

    So what is it? I smell bubble on oil, just like housing. :mad:
  • bumpybumpy Member Posts: 4,425
    Can someone here give me a logical explanation of why oil would be at $126/bbl?

    Short answer: Because traders can resell it for more than that.

    Longer answer: demand increased in the last decade (3% increase every year is about 34% in a decade), available supply stayed the same or declined slightly (Saddam Hussein's not making a mockery of the UN oil-for-food program anymore), the dollar devalued greatly, and commodities become a more attractive place to put money when the stock market softens.
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,415
    I paid 4.11 for premium yesterday. After my trip I had to buy 16 gallons. Woo hoo!
  • british_roverbritish_rover Member Posts: 8,502
    all that you said and refining capacity is down too.
  • bumpybumpy Member Posts: 4,425
    I think I'm going to cry when I finally go to fill up the GMC. The tab would be about $75 for regular at the moment, but I still have some more work to do on it (found out Saturday the master cylinder took a dive).
  • bumpybumpy Member Posts: 4,425
    True, but we mostly compensate for that by importing Europe's excess gasoline that they would have to dump otherwise.
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    $3.69 RUG (as in pulled out from under you)
    $3.81 the mid-grade stuff
    $3.91 high test (only a dime higher than mid-grade)
    $4.46 diesel

    This is typical pricing at the Boise majors - the grocery chains tend to run 3 or 4 cents cheaper.
  • british_roverbritish_rover Member Posts: 8,502
    It seems like most of the gas stations around here have stopped at 3.99 for RUG after a long steady run up. I don't expect them to hold onto that 3.99 a gallon mark for much longer though.

    Central VA:

    87 - $3.65 (all my cars use this, fortunately)
    89 - $3.75
    93 - $3.85
    Diesel - $4.35 (ouch!)

    I will be traveling to NYC next week -- I have to make sure I fill up only in Jersey on the way up and back (after filling up initially at home of course).
  • jae5jae5 Member Posts: 1,206
    I know of one of our guys is doing just that, filling up his VW on the Mexico side. Not sure if the diesel on the Matamoros/Texas side is cleaner than what you guys may be getting at your border. He's got a newer VW and hasn't been having any problems; if he will time will tell.
  • jae5jae5 Member Posts: 1,206
    at the Jewel by home was for $3.889 for 87 octane, with the higher grades 10 cents higher each. This was from an earlier price of $3.849 Monday afternoon (and perhaps Tuesday morning).

    The stations had actually dropped a few pennies, being in the $3.849 range by home and $3.879 range by work. Then after yesterday's morning news of Iran lowering production (which turned out to be false), prices jumped to $3.999, except for the Jewels of course, they only went up 5 cents. Funny they didn't go back down after it was found out the news was mostly rumor.

    The Gas City prices are at $4.099 for 87, $3.599 for E85, $4.699 for diesel.

    A co-worker paid $4.19 for 87 in Will County, about a dime less than prices he saw in Cook County (which includes Chi-town).

    My old Snapper (made before the "new" Snapper company came along) died yesterday - the old B&S engine was smoking and gave up the ghost.

    I may just not replace the engine or the mower - I have a sling blade and just a pasture more or less. I can dig up the odd thistle. If my wife would quit buying fancy yuccas for the yard, I'd go get a goat.

    Still holding at $3.75.

    Where are you again Lostwrench? East Coast?
  • jae5jae5 Member Posts: 1,206
    yesterday afternoon. Fuel prices by work are at $4.159, $4.259, $4.389 at the Shell; though the BP is slightly lower at $4.099 for 87 octane. The Citgos by work and home are holding at $3.959 for 87 octane, with the higher grades having a 10 cents spread each.

    City is higher, roughly $4.399 for 87 octane, higher in the down-town areas. Yet majority of people on my commute are still driving like there's no tomorrow!!!

    A co-worker / fellow car enthusiast bought a Smart Car and took delivery last week. It's got more room than I thought. May be able to report in a month or so what his mileage is, though it'll still be in break-in period.

    If I don't report back, every have a happy Memorial Day holiday.
  • imidazol97imidazol97 Member Posts: 27,675
    We're so lucky that our prices haven't broken the $4 barrier yet. Marathon/Speedway have kept them at $3.999. Amazing all the gas stations decided that $3.999 was the right price during the same day for miles around; isn't it amazing how they pick the same price without talking to each other or getting a fax or phone call from "the distributor" about the new chosen price?

    Had to make a 70 mile one way drive to a funeral viewing last evening. I'm very happy with the 33.8 mpg including 4-5 miles of small town stoplight traffic. This was 55-60 on rural slightly rolling glacier plains Ohio highway.

    Boise bumped RUG up to $3.79 at the name brand stations. Only a 4 cent jump this time instead of the usual six cent one.

    $ 3.79 regular
    $ 3.91 mid grade
    $ 4.01 premium
    $ 4.65 diesel
  • oregonboyoregonboy Member Posts: 1,650
    I filled up this AM with regular at a Shell station for $3.979. It came within pennies of breaking $50 total, which would be a first for me.

    Another Shell station just a 1/2 mile down the road was at $4.099. They always seem to be at least $0.10 higher than their sister station. I don't know why anyone would buy gas there. Maybe it's because they also sell pizza. :P
