Gas Prices

[Mule]

Just came back from Branson MO and seen regular for $287, got back toward home and seen regular for $348 in SE Kansas, so go figure.....???

[celtic]

The pipeline is closer to Kansas....

[Security101]

must be close to me too :rolleyes: $3.549 (northern indiana)

[mdshunk]

Funny how that is. I can't quite see a pattern. Seems like sometimes the more back in the sticks you get, the cheaper the gas is. That's backwards from what you'd think. My wife and I drove out yesterday to a village in the mountains to look at a litter of puppies a lady has for sale. The gas in that little town was a good 50 cents a gallon cheaper than where we live, and we're closer to the highway where the trucks get off to deliver gas. Go figure.

[William1978]

Gas prices around here suck $3.89.

[LarryFine]

We paid 3.239 today.

That mountain gas must be really old!:D

I just filled up at $3.06 a gallon in South Jersey

Ever since the WaWa's started selling gas they have seem to force all the foreign run and employed stations away. When they all started,about six months ago,the 3 or 4 gettys were like 15 cents higher then WaWA.For a few weeks they matched WaWas price,then they closed and are now empty.

Works for me i like getting my gas from someone who speaks english:grin:

[MAK]

It is $3.09 in Gloucester but on the other side of town it is $3.49. Makes it an easy decision on where to go. I heard somewhere that franchise gas stations can not offer as large discounts as the mom and pop gas stations (some law?).
I am not sure if this is true but that might explain some odd ball low gas prices.

[480sparky]

$3.03 this morning....

[Ragin Cajun]

$3.69 and $3.76 and up, cash - if there's any gas to be had. Here in SC it's bad.

I scored some 87 octane for $3.19 last night at an Exxon.....a few miles down the road "Delta" was selling the same for $3.05 ~ when the idiot light comes on, you spend like an idiot :D

[jmsbrush]

$3.55 in central fl. Still to high! Our Economy would be better if gas went down.

[Rockyd]

Gas in Alaska is running $3.95 at the cheapest in Anchorage, some places still over $4.00 dollars. Places out in the bush are taking a beating.

[mdshunk]

$3.55 in central fl. Still to high! Our Economy would be better if gas went down.Actually, the economy would be better if the price of pizza went down. Gas is irrelevant. Pizza is getting ridiculous.

You get brick oven pizza?

Tell me about it. $18.40 for a medium (14") pepperoni
the other day. What is the world coming to?

[LarryFine]

The cost of ballloons is rising, too, due to inflation. :grin:

[GUNNING]

Only with peperoni's.

Its going lower here. $3.70

It will decline till elections then look out. I have noticed my 32 gallon tank gets 33.5 gallons on a fill up. Must be the standard deviation of the greed factor when they do the standard weights and measure testing. Or a cold day in Hades during the fill up.

They had a problem in TX where a gallon of gas wasn't. The company maintenance truck was running just ahead of the state standard weights and measure truck re-adjusting the pumps. I'm wondering if they also had a crew following the weights and standards truck re-re-adjusting the pumps, if ya know what I mean. I guess they would be called the loss prevention crew or maybe the loss leader (spelled "litre") crew. Its a Texas thing I guess.

[Minuteman]

$2.79 in Oklahoma City

One of my good buddies owned a pizza restaurant and had to shut it down a couple of months ago. tough to make it in a town of 5k when everybody is tightening the purse strings.



back to the gas subject;

our situation has improved greatly as far as supply; prices are anywhere from $3.69 to $3.85.

[tonyou812]

Gas prices around here suck $3.89.
WOW I'm paying less for diesel .

[Mule]

WOW I'm paying less for diesel .

Diesel is around $389 to $4 around here, our Dodge diesel is setting as we pretty much just use it for our RV

[jimport]

On Friday to sign said 3.29 but the punps were 3.39. I waited til they adjusted pricing. That afternoon the price was 3.19. Couple more days like that would be appreciated.

As far as the pizza prices, wheat and cheese prices have shot up dramatically. Less wheat was grown so farmers could plant corn for ethanol. Supposedly worldwide demand for milk is up while dairy farmers are cutting back due to increased costs.

[roger3829]

wow.

$3.48 here in Connecticut although I paid $3.38 In MA Yesterday

[billsnuff]

passed the local gas pump this morn, i'll be filling up today @ 2.99

[480sparky]

I'm heading out to fill up..... $2.97 now. :smile:

Prices are dropping as fast as Sara Palin's polls.

[Minuteman]

$2.59 and it's also a bad thing. There is little incentive to drill domestically if the price per barrel is too low to cover drilling costs. Sure, the oil companies have HUGE profits, but it cost money to be in business. And business is about profit.

[SEO]

$3.39 around here.

[peter d]

Of course, nothing but the best (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Haven-style_pizza). :D

gas has drop .40 cent so far this week to $3.49.:D

[wirebender]

I paid 3.40 yesterday afternoon and went back by the station 30 minutes later and it was 3.35.:mad:

Same station today was down to 3.30.

[480sparky]

I spied 3.87 this morning.

They call it Zone pricing. They know how much they can wring out of each part of town using demographic and volume formulas. Supposed to be a big trade secret.

Just fulled up with Diesel 3.79. Got 15mpg with heavy loaded utility body 3500 duramax 6.6

[LarryFine]

Passed Costco on the way home today; $3.119.

[Minuteman]

Paid $1.99 at a Love's on I-40 in OKC. :smile:

[William1978]

Gas here in N.C. has drop from $4.19 on 9/27/08 to $2.65 today whats wrong with this picture.:mad:

[brantmacga]

gas has dropped here to $2.489; its amazing how just a few short weeks ago it was almost $5/gal. Diesel is still above $3.5--. I noticed a couple of E85 pumps have sprung up in town. I noticed it because I almost filled my truck up with it by accident. I didn't even think to look at the price of it though! Gasbuddy.com doesn't have E85 prices for our area online either. I've going to do my best to remember to check the price tomorrow. I'm curious if its cheap enough to warrant changing out my injectors to handle it.

[peter d]

Big whoopty doo...I drove to Saudi Arabia and paid 25 cents a gallon.

seems as though the 7500 mile trip would negate the savings (when you figure the cost of food, hotel, comic books, and the charge for the ferry ride across the atlantic); unless you hauled an extra gas can in the back of your el-camino.

[badabing]

wow.

Been about 20 days since that post and around here at BJ's it's 2.49. Dollar difference in about 2 weeks. It's been dropping like crazy around here, every other day, it's 10cents lower.

i just filled with diesel in southern calif for $2.99.

drink up, boys. guess what's gonna happen after the election?

[LarryFine]

Costco was $2.109 a couple of days ago.

A local TV station's Gas Buddy (http://www.gasbuddy.com/) shows two wholesale clubs at $2.05 right now.

[brantmacga]

i went back by the E85 station today; E85 was 2.299, regular unleaded was 2.469. in my truck at least, there would probably be 0 savings once you calculate the difference in gas mileage.
