Gas Report

Walker1 · 03-18-2006, 11:04 AM

I was shopping this morning. As I passed many gas stations I noted that the price was way up since last Sat. Most places were at least $2.59/gal. I lucked out @ Sam's Club. Reg. was $2.39/gal. and super was $2.59. I guess they didn't get another delivery yet.

This all is most disheartening. There does not seem to be any justice for folks that live to pay bills and try to figure out what to do when they get too old to work anymore.

yep. $2.379 here. that is actually 19 cents since last time i got gas about 10 or so days ago

Similar to here in Lubbock. Gas was about $2.14 ten days ago, now it is $2.50. Made me sad when I saw the jump to $2.30. Then it made me mad that when it went up another 15-20cents that I didn't get gas earlier in the week!

Not that is probably going to go down that much before I would have to get gas again.

$2.39 down the street from me as of this morning, granted that's the lowest price in the area (I live in Long Beach, CA), but it's still there. If you want to save money on gas check out gasbuddy.com they have links for most areas for cheap gas.

It's really going up in FL. $2.59 for regular, and had to fill the motorcycle with premium and that was $2.74! And don't you just love the reasons the media gives us for the increase.

Prices jumped up 10 cents every night til it stopped at $2.49. Something just ain't right. We're being screwed.

Tough for some... the best thing that could happen for the US in general.

Of course we're beeing screwed! It's because Washington has washed they're hands of regulating big oil. I'd love to get 1/100th of what big oil is paying off the politicans!

saw 2.55 here at several places yesterday afternoon. Luckily there's a place only 10 miles north of me that is always, and i do mean always, 15-20 cents cheeper.

And with the prius, thats not even all that far anymore!

Ah... but not nearly as much as we are screwing the environment by making and consuming our cheap gasoline.

(somebody's gonna get mad here pretty soon, I can tell. Not trying to bait... just speaking my mind).
