Much, Much less than that Foo Foo Yuppieville coffee crap they sell at coffee houses per gallon.

[PaceAdvantage]

$3.10 for Premium this morning, up about 10 cents overnight....

Although, i have heard that at some stations near me, regular is over $3.00

[Observer]

Shell self serve regular $3.09
Mobil mini serve regular $2.89

And these two places are next-door neighbors!

[Buddha]

wellsville, oh 309.9 and 290.9 and they are side by side.
calcutta, oh 269.9
newell, wv 275.9

all of the above gas stations are within a 15 minute drive of each other and vary by as much as 50 cents. amazing how it can jump up 25 cents overnight.

[Valuist]

As recently as last week Pinnacle had a prop wager on whether gas would hit $4/gallon. It was a big price; 7-1 or 8-1. I wish I had gotten some of that. I think the bet was it had to hit $4 by New Years 2006.

[Figman]

With the disparities in pricing at the current time this might help.

I think it will be there and maybe even as high as $5, so I might take that wager to make up for some of the extra cost for gas. Who or what is going to stop the price escalation? :mad:

In the south Chicago suburbs I've seen reg. unleaded between $2.90 and $3.05 per gallon.

[lsbets]

I just saw a shot on TV of a gas station in Atlanta selling gas for over 5 bucks a gallon. They then panned the shot down the street to one charging $2.89.

I sure hope the DA in Atlanta decides to have a visit with that first store owner.

[JustRalph]

5 Bucks? wow........my Goldwing is coming out of the garage tomorrow.....http://gl1800riders.com/forums/images/avatars/189432051242eeb88272c0d.gif

$3.00 to 3.49 all over Queens and Nassau County New York for regular. I saw 3.99 for Super at one place

[Overlay]

I paid $3.19 for regular (87 octane) this afternoon ($52.00 for the fill-up).

[Tom]

Canandaigua, NY....$2.69 at good ole Jonny Dobbs'

Next lowest is $.79 at one place, then mostle $2.89 - $3.09 for 87 regular.
Monday, it was around $2.33 everywhere.

Now, let us not forget the tremendous stress these oil companies are under - record proits, essentially no re-investment of profits into the businesses, records tax relief from Sugar Daddy Bush in his worthless energy bill that addresses everything BUT an energy policy. All this while NHOT ONE SINGLE DROP OF GAS that is selling for around $3 a gallon today was refined and delivered after the hurricane - so not one single drop of any of it cost the oil companies any more to sell that what they were selling last week. If this isn't profteerin, I don't know what is. These scum buckets are no better than the slime balls who were selling ice for $10-$20 a bag in NYC during the balckouts a couple years ago. There NO difference between Mobile and the looters in NO getting new TVs. NONE.
Here is what we are doing here. About 30 of us are emeting everyday, trying to gain support for a plan. We are targeting one gas station in town to be the only "survivor." We are trying to get as many people as we can to buy only from this one guy and hopefully drive the rest of the stations out of business. No mercy. The only thing theses cretins understand is money and they have never once considered what they are doing to our lives, so we are no longer going to car what happens to them. We are planning pickets lines at every other station in town to inform any potential customers of our plan and to encourage them to boycott everyone else. And NO GAS from oil from the middle east will ever be allowed on our approved list. SoCalFan was kind enough to provide us with a list of oil companies that we can safely buy from and not support the islamic infection - tip o' the hat to you, Diane!

Oh, yeahm no wBush want to tap into strategic reserves. Good sjhow, Georgie boy - what are we going to refine it in? Your empty head! Look up the meaning of "strategic" - I guess like the word "border" Bush has no clue as to what it means.
With only a 67 day cushion, tapping into the reserves is just plan studid, but then, I expect noting less from the bobble head president. Jerk

[Secretariat]

2.89 regular here, but expecting it to go way up.

"According to the latest tally Wednesday from the federal Minerals Management Service, a total of 561 platforms and rigs have been evacuated in the Gulf of Mexico, which accounts for a quarter of US oil production.

Over 91 percent of normal daily crude oil production in the Gulf -- 1.5 million barrels -- is now shut down, and more than 83 percent of natural gas production, the MMS said."

The reserves were tapped last year after Hurricane Ivan for 5 million barrels---already paid back by the oil companies.

[kingfin66]

Auburn, Washington, 7-11 store on the corner of Ellingson(39th) and A Street - $2.73/gallon of 87...was $2.66 on Monday evening.

I'm thinking very seriously of (a) selling my beloved 2001 F-150 4WD, in exchange for a Honda or Toyota and (b) buying a 150cc scooter.

[lsbets]

Same stations as yesterday - $2.88 and $2.79.

One raises prices in the morning, the other in the afternoon. I figure they're both at $2.88 by now.

[lsbets]

$2.99 at both stations at 5 o'clock.

[Tom]

"The reserves were tapped last year after Hurricane Ivan for 5 million barrels---already paid back by the oil companies."

My point was that the refineries are down - crude doesn't help a bit.
When the refineries get back up, the oil companies will be basically using up ouor strategic oil reserve - a very small yet vital reserve - and selling back to us at inflated price gouging.


$3.09 average here today. Still selling from Monday's shipment, btw.
Two Sunoco statins in town - $29 differnce between them. 'splain THAT one to me.

[schweitz]

My point was that the refineries are down - crude doesn't help a bit.

Not sure any are---there are several refineries in Texas that are in production.

[schweitz]

The two places on the interstate near me that usually the cheapest are at 2.99---the two places that are the closest to me and usually 12 to 15 cents higher than the cheap places are at 2.89. :confused:

[Tom]

Not sure any are---there are several refineries in Texas that are in production.

No, some are down - will be for months thay reported today. Certainly not all.

[lsbets]

That's why 4 years ago we should have passed that bill that would have given incentives and streamlined the process to build more refineries. Everyone has known for a long time we don't have enough refining capacity. But, it took 4 freakin years to pass the thing because it included drilling in ANWAR. We might have had some new refineries on line now if it wasn't for the partisan crap. :mad:

[schweitz]

No, some are down - will be for months thay reported today. Certainly not all.

Then I assume the reserves are to be used at the refineries that are running but have had their flow of oil interrupted from the closed rigs in the gulf.

[Tor Ekman]

Northern Westchester County, NY, 8:30pm - $3.18

[Tom]

Then I assume the reserves are to be used at the refineries that are running but have had their flow of oil interrupted from the closed rigs in the gulf.

How will they get it to them if what's in the Gulf is stuck there?

Question? The mere RUMOR of the hurricane shot prices up well before ANY costs were incurred by the oil companies.
Why did the news of Bush freeing up more oil not send them back down?
This is price gouging, plain and simple.

[Tom]

Just heard that Shell Oil is donating $3 million to relief efforts.

Or, as the call it in the Shell accounting department, the profits from 3:03 - 3:08 pm Sunday.

[schweitz]

How will they get it to them if what's in the Gulf is stuck there?

It is stored in underground salt domes in Texas and Louisiana.

I have no answer for your other question.

[doophus]

Baton Rouge.....this morning Exxon 87octane was bought by me for $2.46 after a 75min wait; tonight signs at Race Trac show 87octane price @ $2.99. Shell hasn't sold any gas in Baton Rouge in (2) days although there is a huge Shell refinery approx 15 miles north of New Orleans and (50) or so miles south of Baton Rouge (I don't know its status.) Chevron seems to be a hit & miss proposition; some days yes, others no. Until Race Trac's posted price tonight, we have been in the $2.45 to $2.51 range for major brand gasoline for the past (3) wks.

Does anyone remember the '70's when in San Antonio we would have prescribed days to purchase gasoline based only on the 1st letter of your surname?

[highnote]

Check out Hedgestreet.com. You can hedge against gasoline price movements. You can open an account for as little as $100.

It's a site that allows the little guy to hedge against interest rates, housing prices, precious metals, etc.

I opened my account today. It only takes about 5 minutes.

here in the northbay CA yesterday, range from $2.94 to $3.15 for 87.

[Vegas711]

$ 2.99 to 3.09 for the cheap stuff. Minnesota.

[lsbets]

Its staying at $2.99 today - seems like no one wants to be the first in town to go over 3 bucks.

[Observer]

Over the past couple of days, I've seen regular gas go from $2.73 (Wed.) to $3.13 (Thur. morning) to $3.59 (Thur. night)!

$3.49 today......$2.79 Wednesday.

Local dealer collapsed and was rushed to the hospital where he being reated for fatique - from climbing that damn ladder to change the prices so often!
:bang:

[Storm Cadet]

Over 4 bucks a gallon here on LI-NY for the first time at some places ,but most places it's 3.89 :(

[Steve 'StatMan']

Update from Rolling Meadows near Arlington Park

Now 87 octane $3.29, only $3.19 with a fillup, up 30 cents over the last 2-3 days.

Station 0.8mi down the road had it for $2.96 tonight, we'll see how long that will last.

Discovered the new prices tonight while out on my walk. Glad I've started walking again almost 2 weeks ago. I have a few key places with a mile, mile and a half of me. If I can get in decent shape (I'm a mighty big guy, so walking would do me a lot of good).

Racing in Chicago moves from AP to Hawthorne in Mid-Sept. AP's front gate is 1.5 miles from me. Hawthorne is a 30 mile drive each way. I love Hawthorne and the 4% rebate on live racing with the player's card. But I doubt I'll drive down there very often this fall/winter, with a round trip costing at least $9-$10 in gas alone.

[ljb]

Up to 3.49 Wednesday back down to 2.99 today in Michigan. Democratic Gov. Granholm did some jawboning with CEO of Marathon.

[doophus]

Baton Rouge.....

HVAC contractor friend w/(8-10) trucks in service bought a pair of 500gal tanks and pump for installation at his yard. The distributor charged $3.08gal for the 1,000 gals. Stated to friend that $3.08 would be the wholesale (bulk) price next week (when the installation would be done.)

There are at least (3) refineries down, Chevron, BP, and Shell. All others are curtailed to some degree.

[Dave Schwartz]

Reno: The cheapest we found yesterday was $3.09 for regular.

Saw some as high as $3.39.

I need to fill up, but I'll only throw 20 in and hope that it drops a little bit by Wed.In my book, that's gambling. My $$ say higher before lower. With the refinery status, I question whether or not any reserve release will affect anything for the next several weeks.

I hope you win this one, tho.

[lsbets]

Yeah its gambling, but isn't that what most of us on this forum do almost everyday? :)

[highnote]

I read an article from somewhere on the internet that said some refineries were back online and started shipping Sunday. More are expected back this week. There are 4 refineries that possibly will be offline for several months .

I think the article also said that these 4 refineries account for 5% of US distribution. ( NOTE: I may be quoting that wrong.)

[Tom]

That makes sense to me....lose 5% of prodcution and raise prices by 60%.
If that strategix reserve oil was so important to the mix, why didn't prices drop even a few cents? Just the weather FORCAST of a hurricane in the gulf and they were already heading north.

[JustRalph]

About a week after I got my drivers license in 77 or so, I vividly remember a Certified and a Clark Station getting into a gas war. They were right across the street from each other. The certified had a large sign out front that had the gas price on one side and Lucky Strike cigarette prices on the other. I will never forget you could get both for 35 Cents..........during the gas war.

Just think...........Gas is 3 bucks now and Cigarettes are 4.50 a pack (aren't they? I don't smoke)

I remeer the good ole days - you could fill your tank, buy a six pack, a large pizza, and have change left over - for a 10 dollar bill.

and when i went to the station the other day i got less the 10 gallons for $30. i think it was like $3.37 per gallon of dieasl. boy iam tell'n you these are some beasty prices

Never say never :D

Hey Ralph, is that Hcap and Boxcar? :lol:

[Secretariat]

i guess what is so troubling is the variations within the same town. I've seen prices from 3.19 low to 3.59 for lowest price. Why the huge variance?

[lsbets]

Because of the way they set prices. The wholesalers ask the retailers what people will pay in their neighborhood, then they set the prices. I'll be out in LA this weekend for drill, and I know that from Dallas to Shreveport I'll see gas drop about 25 cents a gallon once I get an hour outside of Dallas.

Discounters, RaceTrak & CircleK, et al, are in $2.89 to $2.99 range, mostly $2.99.

Lines at pumps are non-existant except for a few interstate locations.

Chalmette & BP refineries remain weeks from start-up with some rumors that it may be 1st of year. I haven't heard anything lately about the Chevron refinery in Pascagoula; anyone with an update on that monster refinery?

[midnight]

$2.89 to $3.09 at various places in Las Vegas.

It's only $1.49 at one place. The only problem is that the place hasn't been open in over a year. It doesn't stop people from pulling in and checking it out, though.
