MCChris Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 My town 3.19Marion, IN 3.49 (16 miles away) Man, talk about price zoning! How about this? Prices in NW Indiana are over $3, prices in Chicago are (or were this morning) under $3. I've NEVER seen that before.
Guest galejt Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 galeJT: WTF is a Ranger? And more importantly, why should I care?The Texas Rangers. (Baseball teams win pennants) Jeez!! You should care, galejt, because Bush owned the Texas Rangers a few years back and liberals like yourself love to point out he traded Sammy "Corky" Sosa before he was "great" and never ran the team at a profit, which only goes to prove he can't be trusted to run the country, either. It must be hell waiting for Michael Moore to put out another movie so you know what to think. Aw gee Rechts. I reject the "liberal" label. In case you missed high school, there is a range of opinions from far left to far right. I believe I fall just right of middle only because I find the factions on both extremes distasteful, but the right less so. Probably because they bathe more. Although I do like slutty left wing titties. Edited to add: the smiley. Kiss kiss.
ET_KenW Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Yesterday morning coming into work $2.96 Regular to $3.19 Premium.Yesterday going home $3.39 Regular to $3.59 for Premium. $.40 jump.I filled up today a Shell that had not changed yet. $2.95. This should get me through the next two weeks.Editted to add: These are all prices in the Chicago southwest suburbs.
Jeff R Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 In south Louisiana, good luck FINDING gas. Between all the locals and refugees' vehicles, fuel for supply trucks, electric linemen (I lost count of the trucks on my way to work today, heavy equipment, generators in outage areas, you name it, there is an extreme shortage. Probably half of the stations are closed because they are out, and there have been reports of fist fights (Hamer content fulfilled) breaking out at the open gas stations over people cutting lines and getting too much in others' opinions. Shows you the ignorance - most of those who are "getting too much" came in from out of the parish filling up multiple cans for their neighbors in an effort to CONSERVE gasoline wasted on getting there.

tafkathundernotes Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 How does this thread go 3 pages and a question about amps gets bumped to the OC?
wyldbil Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Filled up Sunday at $2.459Today, it's $2.999I live on the outskirts of Knox County. Closer to the city, it's running $3.069 give or take.These prices are for regular. This sucks.
Turdus Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Regular: $2.99 at Shell, $3.05 at Exxon. About a mile apart. Both about 1 mile from Dulles Airport.
raymund Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Hehe, here it´s $ 0,50 per liter premium, but that´s in Jakarta, Indonesia !
JordanL Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Last night I was fortunate to find premium at 2.99 a gallon, Silver and regular were sold out. Next cheapest was 2.99 for regular. I saw a Mobil station asking 3.59 for regular. Exxon and Mobile stations had the highest prices that I saw, though others were close.I live on Long Island, this was eastern Nassau county. Over the weekend 2.69 was about average.
killerteddybear Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 I was lucky to find $2.89 at Costco in Chula Vista (San Diego), California this morning ($3.07 for premium).'Normal' stations are just at or slightly over $3.00 in the area.I hate the circumstances but I gotta admit I'm enjoying not having the highest gas price in the country for once... normally SoCal seems to run 20-30 cents higher than the rest of the lower 48.
doody Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 broke 3 bucks a gallon today for the first time:(
Guest galejt Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Just talked to my homey in Gulfport. He drove in today from Montgomery. You cannot get gas in Mobile. He stopped 30 miles out and waited an hour. Armed police were monitoring the station letting in enough customers to fillup, pay and leave before another group moved up. $3.10 a gallon. I-10 is passable. You cannot drive any further South than 17th street on Route 49. His cell phone is working. He says the destruction is much worse in person. No looting although all the shops below I-10 have been busted wide open by the wave. People and police walking the streets.
Imiss85 Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Drill in Alaska. Stick the finger up at the Middle east, apoligize for being there, pull out and let them kill each other for food because the money hungry evil Americans won't buy their oil. Never happen but a guy can wish.
anotherfreak2 Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Drill in Alaska. Stick the finger up at the Middle east, apoligize for being there, pull out and let them kill each other for food because the money hungry evil Americans won't buy their oil. USE SOMETHING BESIDES OIL!!!! c'mon with all this talk about hemp and ethanol, and peanuts.....where's a George Washington Carver when you need one? Have all the inventors just given up? If oil is the best that we can do this planet is in for a world of hurt! ok i'm done for the record I feel very lucky to be able to ride my bike to work! and I don't expect the world to change, I just want it to start thinking again
anotherfreak2 Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 sorry, I don't know how much gas is here.
Matt Mattson Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 My first post -- hello everyone.GAS costs $1,995.95 because I just plopped down for a Hamer today (and I can't "drive" it until it gets here in a month).That's what GAS costs . . .Wishing you all lots of GAS (with no pains).
Guest Mike Lee Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Why we are unlikely to convert to Ethanol:http://healthandenergy.com/ethanol.htmFossil fuels are, and will continue to be the most cost effective energy source until they become scarce enough to REALLY drive the prices up. This is a fact that so many refuse to believe because they want to blame the oil industry for some sort of conspiracy.The energy we get out of petroleum compared to the energy we expend pumping crude oil out of the ground and refining it is a net positive. Everything else: methanol, ethanol, hydrogen, etc. is a net negative. We have to put more in than we get out, meaning overall energy use by society as a whole will increase. Does anyone deny this is true?
mesadude Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Over $3.00 per gallon here in N. California. Mesadude
wyldbil Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 $3.159 as I drove to work at 3:30 this fternoon, $3.299 as I drove home at midnight. Budgetarily, ANY unnecessary driving just got cancelled at our house.
belikerick Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Brilliannt! I've been trying to find justification for buying a Triumph T100. You may have just given me the solution! Fuel economy! Nathan, definitely go for the T100 (I've got a Triumph America myself) - fuel economy & FUN!!!! BTW, 7-11 down the street is $2.89 for regular in Lafayette, Colorado (North of Denver, East of Boulder). But I gassed up on Tuesday for $2.66 for mid-grade. WooHoo! WHAT a deal!
