The public is getting "hosed" big time.. Maybe one should watch who they vote for in 2012..Drill-baby-drill......I am sure this will kick the Big3 sales down the hill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Futures fell 0.6 percent as a Bloomberg News survey showed gasoline stockpiles rose 1.85 million barrels last week from 240.9 million, the highest level since 1990." (Bloomberg)
That story is 10 days old so futures rose since then. Supplies probably rose too.
I'm afraid to ask about your propane.
I love Cali and my wife is from La Mesa, but can't afford to live there.
It's now $3.859 at the Chevron near my work place. Shell is still at $3.799 and both of these prices are for REGULAR unleaded!
Libya is going through a civil war, and many other oil-producing countries may follow suit. When that happens, you can bet that gas prices will skyrocket, people will start dumping their SUV's for econoboxes all over again, and the recession will deepen.
For those of you without locking gas caps, invest in one now. In our area, when gas prices are high, crooks resort to siphoning gas from trucks, SUV's and vans.
News on the $4/gallon gas can be read here: http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2011/02/28/some-bay-area-gas-prices-top-four-do- - llars/
Got the price down to $3.42 with coupons so saved about a buck overall.
While my wife was pumping the gas, I went to the coffeehouse across the street and got a breve for $3.44. So coffee is now a dime cheaper than a gallon of gas and gets me further.

I'm in the UP now Explorerx4, and mostly have been driving the Subaru since November if it looks like snow. Lately there's been lots of dry pavement and sunshine so the van is getting more use. It's a bit more comfy for tooling around in, especially when we take the elderly in-laws to their doc appointments, like today.
And we're in town again, so we walk a lot and may not drive either car for a couple of days.
The return trip would feel like victory though, since it would only take 40 or so paid with my own money.
Which usually means from June through Labor Day......
Now I know you folks dread our NJ prices because they always seem low, but here goes - $3.19 regular around town but when prices are rising rapidly we have our special trick. The gas stations on the state authority roads (Garden State Parkway, NJ Turnpike and Atlantic City Expressway) are only allowed to change their prices once a week - on the Parkway it's Friday). Right now the Parkway price is $3.08 for regular. Since I have to go by there pretty regularly I made a point of filling up.
Of course you have to watch it. Last time gas went like this a coworker's husband got on a long like for the cheaper gas and got hit from behind, totaling the car and taking whatever gas was in the tank with it....
RUG = $3.29 -> $3.33 -> $3.37
Plus = $3.39 -> $3.43 -> $3.47
Ultra =$3.49 -> $3.53 -> $3.57
Nuts! :mad:
Jackson = $3.29/$3.49/$3.59 for 87/89/93, respectively

I hear Obama is happy. No comment!!!!!!
The bright side, it's 79 degs in Venice, Fl ..and I have 2 more cars to fillup tomorrow..
,
$69 for 19.2 gallons. Didn't run it down to the bottom of the 22.5 gallon tank.
Guess it's time to start posting in the "How does $4 gas impact you?" thread again - or maybe change the $4 to $5?
I noticed the thief Shell outlet on the isle of Venice is $3.659 cash, reg..Don't want to get into the management of that outlet..I stopped there once to buy a lighter and it is a family run station..I think I would bypass that outlet if my car ran out of gas in front of the station...
One good side of the high gas prices is that the stock market will melt down and my short bets will pay off..
On the right, Mobil 3.699. To the left Shell, 3.579.
Light turns green, car a few ahead cuts left across the double yellow into the Shell station.
No big surprise there.
RUG = $3.41
Plus = $3.51
Ultra = $3.61
An eight cent rise across the board in less than a week!
RUG = $3.45
Plus = $3.55
Ultra = $3.65
They almost seem rational compared to S-F! :sick:
RUG = $3.49
Plus = $3.59
Ultra = $3.69
Good God, $4 gas will be here by the end of the week at this rate and $5 is very plausible by next month. I'll just go over to Libya and bust a cap in Gaddafi if it means an end to this nonsense!
Last Friday the Lukoils on the Garden State Parkway went from $3.08 to $3.25. By Saturday that $3.25 was a bargain.
The price goes up again this Friday. I'll fill it on Thursday. It pains me to buy Lukoil but the local Sunoco is a full dime more expensive and by now may be even more. I have to pass the Lukoil on the Parkway anyway.
Gonna be my costliest fillup since August 2008.
Good thing I don't drive a lot and get a bunch of miles in EV mode every tankful...
lowest price of $3.60 yesterday(gasbuddy) was up 4 cents today when I drove by that station today.
87: $3.23
89: $3.39
93: $3.49

Then for good measure we got a 10 cent jump the next day and have been at $3.59 for 87 since
Now that I filled with relatively cheaper gas my daughter asked to borrow the van for the weekend....
