    How do you survive? :D

    Let's see... I've lost track.... there's a Volvo in there.... a BMW.... What the heck is the current line up?

    I'm only one behind but A. Only one car more than actual drivers and the 16 year old is getting on to permit and B. Only one of the cars is marginally interesting. I'm almost like Andre but with more recent, Japanese cars....

    just gotta click my profile. :)

    actually, that reminds me ... gotta update it. Still shows the Accord instead of the G35x. Oh, and the Pacifica rather than the XC90. Geez. Well, its fixed now. :)

    Hmmmm... I still see the Honda (I wouldn't have minded that one) and the Pacifica..... I assume the Alpha and the Mazda truck are still actually there.

    I feel silly. Only two manufacturers over our cars. If VW could make a reliable car I could expand into Europe.

    Put 16 gallons in Silverado Wed.
    Topped off 20 gallon tank in Riv and measured 23.8 mpg for last 250 miles. Why does $3.40 seem cheap?
    When I finally get my stimulus check for $600, it might actually be able to fill all 6 of my vehicles and still have some $ left over, if gas continues to stay down.
  • jae5jae5 Member Posts: 1,206
    was for $3.87 for 87 regular octane and the local Jewel, with the upper grades 10 cents more each ($3.97, $4.07). The Mobil was at $3.89, with the Shell at $3.91.

    By the job it was an additional 5 ~ 10 cents for each grade for the same stations.
  • fezofezo Member Posts: 10,386
    Got it! Nice collection. You need something to bring up when Andre trots the DeSoto out.... Something nice mid-fifties range. Maybe a Renault Dauphin would do...

    I haven't been out in two days so no gas prices. Hope to update later.

    had to get some to drive my old astro to the old house and back twice over weekend. 240 miles total. Got in my car and saw it was still full this morning. maybe it will be back to 3.50's before car runs low again. Not suprised by the downward sticky of gas prices vs oil prices. Refiners say they have been losing money all summer. poor refiners.

    RUG at my local cheapo station $3.63

    Two towns over I saw a Hess station with RUG at $3.51.

    "$2 gas, here we come! by oldfarmer50 "

    Oh, No, NOT YOU TOO? Gary has been saying that for a year and a half at least, much to my chagrin.

    As I have told him - put this in your corb cob pipe and smoke it:

    Gas (as a USA Average price) will NEVER, EVER, EVER again be as low as $2 a gallon.

    By the way - Phoenix prices in the $3.43 range right now for the lowest (Costo).

    RUG $3.34/9 Wawa, Citgo, Enright, Gulf..It went up as soon as the hurricane entered the Gulf area/
  • andre1969andre1969 Member Posts: 26,023
    for the most part, 87 octane is down in the $3.5X range. I've heard that with Gustav stirring up trouble though, prices might rise, so I just sent the roommate out to fill up the Intrepid.
  • qbrozenqbrozen Member Posts: 33,736
    Paid 3.33 this morning for RUG at the Hess (before my 5% discount).

  • jae5jae5 Member Posts: 1,206
    was $3.859 for 87 octane, with 89 and 93 10 cents more each. Was in Alabama, Georgia and Indiana last week and over the weekend. Prices were in the $3.50 ~ $3.60 range for regular petrol. I think with the home heating gas / oil season upon us the prices may tick down to the $3.60 ~ $3.70 range (dare I say $3.50??) but not much further.
  • KCRamKCRam Member Posts: 3,516
    Down some more... my usual Sunoco truck stop, Palisades Park, NJ. Gas down 6 cents from Aug 29, diesel down 10.

    87 - $3.399
    89 - $3.499
    91 - $3.579
    93 - $3.599
    diesel - $4.059

    After hitting an area low of $3.51 at one station locally, the price jumped 2 cents and has stayed there. I supose it could be the hurricane season fears but oil has dropped $8-10 per barrel while gas is staying the same.

    I suspect evil influences. :mad:

  • jae5jae5 Member Posts: 1,206
    to $3.99 for today's fill-up. Was caught on the increase this time. :( Seems we cannot stay on a downward tick anymore, where other places are decreasing in petrol prices my area is going up. The Shells and BPs were running $4.10 yesterday, with one Citgo near work at $3.91 (unfortunately can't use their watered-down fuel, makes the vehicle gag and puke!!).

    But I can be grateful that I don't fill-up in the city, especially downtown, since prices range from $4.20 ~ $4.60 for 87 octane.

    RUG $3.21 Coastal
  • fezofezo Member Posts: 10,386
    Jersey shore broke the $3.30 mark early this week. The cheap area hit $3.25 for Lukoil with a $3.26 Hess just south. In town here it's hovering about a dime higher.

    For a little bit about a week ago there was suddenly a spread of a quarter from the cheapest to the most expensive RUG. Usually it's maybe a dime.

    San Diego has gas as cheap as $3.51 for RUG. Diesel hanging just under $4.

    NYMEX Oil is trading at $100 today. It has not gone under the magic mark yet. Brent North Sea is down to $95.

  • larsblarsb Member Posts: 8,204
    Today in my home town near the geographic center of Texas, there were rumors started of "gas prices going to jump a dollar by tomorrow."

    So, of course, everyone started heading to the gas stations. A grand total of 8 stations in the whole town of 5,000 people.

    In short order, all eight stations had lines of cars and trucks down the block. One of the stations ran out of gas by 11:00 AM.

    Prices were expected by today to go up about 10 cents a gallon.

    Talk about a ridiculous situation !!! Glad I was not there !! I would have been arrested for public disturbance for telling all those old fools to get back home and quit following unfounded gossip !!!

    Gas was $3.69 at the time at the cheapest station in town.

    P.S. Googling the news shows that this phenom is going on in a LOT of small towns across the country. STUPID !!!
  • sylviaesylviae Member Posts: 31
    Due to Hurricane Ike---our gas went up 15 cents over night !!! Now it is from 3,429 to 3.459 and more in some areas. This is for the blend not pure gas !!!
  • 210delray210delray Member Posts: 4,721
    I pulled into the Shell near work where RUG was $3.50. While I was waiting to fill up, one of the attendants went out to the sign to raise the prices by 20 cents.

    Turns out that all local stations had raised their prices similarly in the last 24 hours.

    Got mine just in time! Looks like I'll have to ride the next few weeks out without adding any more gas just like I did for Katrina.
  • imidazol97imidazol97 Member Posts: 27,675
    Lucky you saved a few dollars beating the price increase. I can always tell at the local morning coffee stop quickmart UDF when the price is going to go up; the workers go out and put gas in their own car to beat the price increase the manager is going to put on the sign.

    We're hearing the media propaganda about having to raise prices drastically. But they rationalize it's because 20% of the refineries are closing for a few days. But they don't mention that gasoline volume had been reduced in the last weeks because the reserve size had encouraged price drops ont he gasoline. So the result is that the gasoline reserves are lower than they could have been to help tide us through a few or several days of lower refinery output if the storm were to do lots of damage to the Texas zone refineries.

    RUG went up 20 cents to $3.43
  • gagricegagrice Member Posts: 31,450
    If gas only went up a nickel in Houston, any price hikes above that should be reported as gouging. Profiteering during adverse times needs to be prosecuted.

    The U.S. average price for regular gasoline jumped nearly 6 cents to $3.73 a gallon Saturday, while Houston's average price spiked almost a nickel to $3.54 a gallon, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report.

    RUG now down to $3.29 regular
  • gagricegagrice Member Posts: 31,450
    A couple stations have gas for $3.49 today. Costco was $3.63 on Monday and $3.53 today. Diesel is available in several places for $3.73.

    For those that like high priced gas we still have one Shell station selling RUG for $4.69. The highest priced diesel is $4.39.
  • andre1969andre1969 Member Posts: 26,023
    local Shell station is holding at $3.719 for 87 and $3.949 for 93, as of this morning's commute to work.
  • dtownfbdtownfb Member Posts: 2,918
    Gas is all over the place in York.

    One station is at $3.35 A few others are at $3.44. Many are at $3.49 and more at $3.55.

    Have no clue why the difference in gas prices.
  • andre1969andre1969 Member Posts: 26,023
    yesterday I had to run home in the middle of the day, and noticed that the local Shell jacked its prices up a bit. $3.799 for 87, $3.999 for 93. They must have done this after I had gone in to work, because they were $3.799 and $3.949 that morning.
  • wesleygwesleyg Member Posts: 164
    My area for the last 48 hours is 3.99 RUG, 4.21 for 93 which I have use. In reading these last half dozen posts, it seems I somehow have moved to So. Cal. without knowing it. This is Greater Cleveland area.
  • nortsr1nortsr1 Member Posts: 1,060
    RUG $3.18 I filled up this morning.
  • mattandimattandi Member Posts: 588
    We seem to have settled down after the Ike Insanity.

    Local RUG avg. $3.97 (about $0.40 higher than pre-Ike)
    Lowest I have seen $3.79 (local Wal-Mart)

    We hit our highest local daily average earlier this week at $4.10.
    Note: locally we never broke the $4.00 barrier during the summer run up.

    Related - NC Attorney General has issued subpoenas to some 15 gas stations around the state for price gouging. Highest price for RUG I heard of was $7.99.
  • KCRamKCRam Member Posts: 3,516
    All Sunoco... looks like diesel is coming down off those overinflated highs of earlier this year.

    87 - $3.549
    89 - $3.719
    93 - $3.839
    diesel - $3.899

  • gagricegagrice Member Posts: 31,450

    After hitting nearly $4 per gallon for RUG right after Ike, we're now down to $3.55 (it had been down to $3.43 before the hurricane).
