The Gas-Price blues

[aldive]

Refular is $1.46 here in Sarasota, FL, as of today.

 

[RedBeard]

$1.51 - 1.53 for 87 Octane
$1.61 - 1.65 for 89 Octane
$1.70 - 1.75 for 92 Octane

That's the average for the Buffalo NY Metro area (surrounding burbs). But, if you drive 30 miles south to springville NY, gas averages .20 cheaper??

I really am tired of getting bent over at the gas pumps...

Bethesda, MD

$1.69 - 87
$1.76 - 89
$1.86 - 93

 

[88vert]

1.34 for 91 here

You guys suck! I hate living in Chicago, nation's highest gas prices. I paid 1.80 for the cheap stuff!

 

[ajevenson]

$.679/litre = $2.57/gallon for 87 octane
We have tons of oil and gas here in Alberta so its cheap here (not compared to you guys though), but in eastern Canada the price is a lot higher, like $.899/litre.

$1.599 for 87 here in New York City.

Last time I filled up it was $1.19 at Kroger, but I didn't have a fancy little Kroger Plus Card so I had to go down the street and pay $1.21

I'm payin 1.80 for premium since i have a chip. Costs me $32 bucks to fill up. But i get over 300 miles per tank so im not complaining.

Why can't there be a Black Market in gasoline? I mean there's a Black Market for everything else.

I'm thinking there could be a few renegades that quit working at the refineries and form their own underground company. You know.... Mafia style.
They could setup shop in the drive though windows at fast food joints. And while you're picking up your burger at the window they could open a little secret hatch and fill your tank for a fraction of the cost we pay now and no one would be the wiser. No taxes and no greedy oil companies. Just greedy Mob bosses. Which as we all know treat their employees very nicely I might add.

Anyways I'm not sure why I just typed all that out. I think I'm low on sugar and started to blank out for a sec.

.77 per litre for 89 Octane = $2.84 per gallon
.81 per litre for 92 Octane = $3.01 per gallon

LAST SUMMER

I PAID $2.40 A GALLON WHEN THE GAS WAS HIGH. THEN IT GOT WORSE IT WAS $2.52 THEN I ONLY DROVE WHEN IT WAS NECESSARY AND IT STILL COSTED ABOUT 30 DOLLARS TO FILL THE TANK THAT WAS JUST STUPID BUT THAT IS HOW WE ARE GETTING RIPPED OFF BY THE OIL COMPANIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. I WAS STEAMING WHEN THE GAS PRICES ROSE AND A CO WORKER OF MINE WITH A CHEVY DUALLY WITH A 454 IN IT AND HE SAID THAT IT COSTED HIM 75 DOLLARS A WEEK AND A HALF TO FILL UP THAT IS JUST TERRIBLE. NOW HE HAS A DIESEL CHEVY DUALLY DURAMAX NICE TRUCK FOR A CHEVY AND I AM NOT A CHEVY PERSON BUT IT DOES LOOK GOOD. I STILL LIKE HIS 99 CHEVY DUALLY AND I DROVE IT AND BOY I SMOKED THE TIRES FOR A HALF A BLOCK THAT TRUCK GOT UP AND WENT.

 

[rvitek]

Average about $1.55 in far Northwest Chicago burbs.

 

[94Matt]

It's about $1.20 for the crappy stuff at Walmart.
I am guessing that is pretty good for tennessee compared to what you guys are paying.

 

[gunnerbob]

I'm stationed in England. On base we pay 1.62/gal. Off base, it works out to $4.62/gal.
