Gas Prices

[Jacqui]

We haven't done a gas price check lately, so here goes.

$3.72 for Reg and $4.31 for deisel (farmers are raising all kinds of H---)

[Leo Hadley Jr]

It cost me almost $20.00 to fill my 5.1 gallon tank today.
I remember my first car, a 75 cutlass used to cost $12.00 to fill the whole tank. Its getting crazy.

[OpticalSLA]

Pretty insulated around the midwest lately I guess. It's the low to mid 3.00's still

[bob_f_aboc]

Filled up yesterday for $3.61 just north of Austin, TX.

[Judy Canty]

13 gallons of mid-grade cost me $51 and change yesterday.

We are looking at $7.00 a gallon for 100LL aviation gasoline for our trip out west next month. Thats about $1000.00 for the 2300 mile trip.

These high fuel costs are the result of the pin heads in Washington (Republicans and Democrats alike) who have failed to enact a sane energy policy.

About ten years ago a panel of scientists, engineers, energy companies, consumers and environmentalists met for four years to see if they could come up with a consensus on an energy policy to prevent just the problems that we have today. They unanimously agreed on four steps:

1. Build a ton of nuclear power plants.
2. Reduce the red tape and time delays in licensing new power plants and refineries.
3. Develop our vast domestic resources (ANWAR and off shore.)
4. Increase the CAFE standards.

So, what do the bozos in Washington (Republicans and Democrats alike) do. They give us ethanol. We vote them in (Republicans and Democrats alike) so it really is our fault.

[Fezz]

Low grade 87 = $3.79
Mid-grade 89 = $3.93
Premium = $3.99

I filled up the Cowboy Cadillac last night = $91.50!!!!!

I keep telling my wifey and everybody that B*tches about it at work that we have always paid the least for gas of just about every country in the world. We should be thankful for that! I follow up with saying that I feel blessed that I am gainfully employed and have the ability to pay for it!

I usually stop at the same gas station/gedunk for gas. They also have a Starbucks on site. I am always amused by the moonbats standing around pissin and moanin about the high price of gas while ordering a $6.25 6 oz cuppa designer coffee.

[CME4SPECS]

$4 in California, premium is $4.20 diesel is $4.80

Bro, you might want to check http://www.airnav.com/plan/fuel/ I can find 100LL 10 miles away for $4.00 self serve or $6.50 at my local FBO.

[rbaker]

AirNav data is frequently out of date or inaccurate. Additionally, I really have better things to do then schlep around looking to save a few pennies. Now, winds aloft, thats another matter. Thats where the real savings come to play - time. KORH direct KCBT direct KMFR FL 250

[Snitgirl]

Last I filled up it was $1.34 litre. (I am sure you can do the math)

One thing about Canada that still boggles my mind is that the price of gas can change hourly...

Gasoline prices are high and fluctuate because of sepculation not shortage, that's why Saudi Arabia refused to increase productions yesterday.

Right on, Chip. The environmentalist whackos have us paying through the nose for all of our natural resources. We can’t drill for oil and we can’t cut down trees. Just wait till they find out that we use polycarbonate. We will be prevented from harvesting the polycarbonate bush. Think of all the little children that will go blind.

We, in the USA, have a legacy of cheap oil. Our grand manufacturing economy was built on the availability of cheap and plentiful energy. Other countries are not so fortunate. If you are paying seven bucks of money for a gallon of gas, tough tuba. Get over it. Get a bicycle.

Lets get going on developing the inland and coastal oil patch and while we are at it, a new refinery in Hyannis, MA might be in order. How about we start the construction of a whole bunch of nuclear power plants. Let’s get back to the good old days of $0.32.9 a gallon gas.

ExonMobile 1st quarter 2005 dividends in at $0.29 a share. Stock up 10% since the first of the year. Thank you grandpa Baker for the 100 shares that you bought for me on my birth in 1940. Thank you for instilling in me the principals of capitalism.

I am also grateful for resisting the many impulses in past years to sell and buy toys or engage in some “brain storm” and become “Mr. Big Shot.”

Today, the dividends alone pay all the fuel costs for my big scary Republican SUV, Town Car and motor home.

How sweet it is.

Ten bucks a week. Holy Mackinaw Andy, Looks like we are going to have to cut out a couple of Starbucks a weeks or a couple of packs of Virginia Slims to break even.

In truth, I do not know anyone who has changed their driving patterns to accommodate this temporary rise in fuel prices; the economy is just too good.

I believe that the price increase was due to the perceived shortage of petroleum as reflected in the futures market. Now that President Bush has released stock from the strategic reserve we are seeing a downward trend in prices which should return to equilibrium very shortly.

As a stockholder I do defend the policies of Exxon by pointing out that the petroleum industry in the USA provides the cheap and abundant energy that fuels our nation’s economic growth. Exxon also invites you to assume an ownership position in the corporation and share in the profits.

You ain’t never had it so good.

Times change, and so does one's perspective...

[Jacqui]

$3.92 Reg. and $4.53 Diesel

[For-Life]

You know, I do not like to blame Bush for the prices, especially since there are other factors. But don't you find it funny that the President and Vice President of the most influential nation in the World are involve/have been involved in the oil industry and are good friends with the Saudi's (and Bin Ladin's)?

Now that's funny, the man that everyone thinks is so stupid can now control the price of oil and even better control the Saudi's...lets come back to reality.

[Alteaon]

Two days ago I filled up for 63.00. 4.39 gal. My next purchase is going to be an old fashioned bicycle.

[braheem24]

I filled up today for over $100 for the first time in my life 24.4 Gallons for $101.01


BTW, an increase in oil productions by the Saudis lower prices but would also would upset Venevuala and Iran who happen to be members of OPEC.

Prices will not go down until the hostilities between the 3 countries tones down.

[SarahMP584]

Ok here in LA county, the desert at costco today it was 3.90 for regular. My husband saw diesel for 5.05 this weekend ! We dont drive our excursion much now!

[Johns]

We're getting ready for our annual roadtrip.

Ohio, to St. Louis, to Kansas, to Texas, to New Orleans, over to Fla,
back through Al, up through Va, over to WV, and then back home.

I figured it will cost about $400 more for fuel than it did last year. (Ohio to Wyoming & Utah) Hopefully, the roads won't be as crowded, and I read hotel prices are down.

[Johns]

I was just on the site roadtrip.com, and used the mileage/gas price calculator to figure out the total cost. It's much less than I thought.

It will actually only cost me about $150 more than last year. At that price, I'll be able to get a room big enough so the kids won't have to sleep in the car!

[rbaker]

I am just reporting this news and neither laud nor condemn it. Don't care to discuss it either. On Tuesday, May 27 at 0900 regular gas was down $0.03 a gallon here in South Central , Massachusetts. $3.83/gal.

[Andrew Weiss]

We're up to just under $4.00 per gallon at most stations, about 10 cents less at Costco.

Thank you, For-Life, for bringing up the connection between the current administration in Washington and big oil (Sec. of State Rice is in that group, too). It isn't a matter of who can control what; even Pres. Bush's friends in the Saudi government slapped his hand when he asked them to put more oil on the market in an effort to reduce prices. It's a matter of a mind-set, of what one considers acceptable and right. Folks who have economic interests in that area see no problem with big profits based on oil futures trading, which is what's driving much of the price of oil.

We still pay less for gasoline than most other countries. On the other hand, we are not set up in this country for most people to run their lives without an automobile -- rather different than most of Europe and most other industrialized countries in the world.

We have changed our driving patterns. This past weekend we stayed very local instead of traveling to the shore or the mountains. And yep, I have my bicycle out. We're moving to a new office space late this summer, and already our office manager is joking that we should build a shower into the new space. :D

I just installed a shower in our upstairs office for morning and lunchtime rides, but only on the trails. I'd still rather pay the high cost of gas,rather than pay for drs./hosp/rehab, after some idiot on a cell phone, shaving, while eating his breakfast plows into me on the side of the road.
