Gas Prices

[Vryllyn]

I'm just curious how much is gas prices is some of your areas.

Here in Redwood City, CA, The Arco has 2.49$ while Shell and Chevron has it at $2.55 for Unleaded. I'm just curious if we still have the highest gas prices here in the Bay Area.

[moldykorn]

2.30 at the Kangaroo.

[ICEPICK]

:hehehe: The freaking refineries are 30 minutes away & the price range is between 2.18-230

[bman65]

89 cents. Pwnt.

Note: i am fully aware of statments made in this post.

[Merlinex]

San Diego Ca

$2.63 - $2.9x

Pretty much as bad as it gets :rant:

[atomicbob]

Oklahoma is pretty low tax. 2.29 here.

[Lord ALF]

yeah, but we're still paying $4+ for coffee at Starbucks (nope, not a gallon either).

... so, where's your perspective?

price out coffee
price out water
price out red bull
price out Coke, Pepsi, etc
hell, price out 5W-20 oil

gas is still cheaper yet we bitch the loudest about it. :wallbash:

[Monochrome]

around jersey its anywhere from 2.20 to 2.30 at various gas stations.

[atomicbob]

... so, where's your perspective?

30 cans Bud @ 12 oz.= $16.99

$ 16.99 / 30 = $ 0.566 per 12 oz.

12 ounce [US, liquid] = 0.09375 gallon [US, liquid]

1 gallon/.09375 = 10.666 Buds per gallon

10.666 x $ 0.566 = $ 6.03 per gallon of Happiness

90 happy cans of Bud per week = Don't give a rats ass about gas prices

It's all good.......

:jester:

[p00p]

It's like $2.20 in Lincoln, NE

The lowest I saw I think was $2.10 I think in Kingston, TN. Southern IL was around $2.25 from what I remember.

[Kev Kanos]

Portland Oregon was 2.09 last week.

This morning I saw it at 2.39. It ranges so much here I dont know what it is now.

[CP[]Zangetsu]

~$2.29 Regular - $2.79 Premium NJ and NY

[bman65]

89 cents. Pwnt.

Look just a bit under my name. Still averages out to $2.75 U.S per gallon for premium, and $2.48 for regular.

[DemonEyes]

No bman is living in 1991, that why gas is under a dollar, nice trick, wish I could live in the 90's when things were cheaper.

Oh and in Minnesota gas is pretty ugly around $2.45 + per gallon.

If you guys only used my system gas would be 63 cents (although this has no impact whatsoever on the final price). :D

enough hints??

enough hints??notice that B, it's messed up, our gas costs more but we are the ones selling it to the states.

[bman65]

They get a larger bulk discount when they buy it.

ah Bob... i'm onboard with that thought process completely.

Yeah but you don't buy 10-15 cups of coffee each time you go...unless your Persephone.

[Bonez]

Yeah but you don't buy 10-15 cups of coffee each time you go...unless your Persephone.well speaking relative it would be about 6 cups of coffee a gallon.

so a ford focus holds 14 gallons

so in a single go it would be 84cups of coffee.

and at starbucks cost, a single "fill up" with coffee would be $336.00 a pop.

[Kossori]

But im speaking realistically. Lets say you go to Starbucks everyday and have 1 coffe for 4.50 each time. Thats $31.50. You go to the gas station twice a week and fill up 24 gallons total at $2.40 a gallon. Thats $57.60. But honestly I dont think a lot of people go to Starbucks more 2-4 times a week.

But I only pay for the coffee. My mom is my personal driver. No wait. I dont even pay for the coffee. She pays for the coffee and gas. AHAHA.

[TC HEAT]

all i have to say about gas prices is :wallbash: :crazy: man ima hate it when im payin for my own gas lol :wallbash: :angryfire: :rant:

48 gallons a WEEK!!!???

Now let's see......

You play video games like 23 hours a day. That leaves 7 hours a week you might possibly drive. If you have your foot to the floor in a Hummer, then you might burn say, 6 gallons a hour. That's 42 gallons a week.

That figure is likely wrong, but you can't possibly drive out 48 gallons a week. Even in a psycho car that's 500 miles. No one that plays video as much as you can have time to drive 500 miles a week.

My own commute, lucky me, is less than 1/4 mile. Sparing myself a trip to Wallyworld, I can go a month for $5. Woot.

:jester:

[atomicbob]

And while I'm here let me add... If you go tp Starbucks everyday and spend $4.50 on a cup of coffee, you are stupid and deserve to not be able to afford gas. You should take all that caffeine and just walk.

$4.50 for a cup of coffee is short bus stuff. freaktards.

:yuck:

[karl_58sow]

yea, gas prices don't really affect me anymore.. i end up spending more on gas than a small car payment when I'm getting 8 mph city with my truck

[Blis]

You guys dont know how lucky you got it.It ranges from about £3.50 to £3.80 a gallon here. Thats over $6. We get heavily taxed on fuel and cigarettes.Its like £4.30 for a pack of 20 smokes.If you're a driver who smokes in the uk you aint got money for much else when you consider its like £2.80 for a pint of beer.

[Kossori]

48 gallons a WEEK!!!???

No, 24 total. 12 at each fill up.

I bet Monos spends fills up a LOT more than that with his 40 miles or whatever drive to and from work everyday.

[atomicbob]

Just pullin' your chain Kossori. I know you only play 22 hours a day.

:yaya:

[monos]

63.5 miles one way in a 1995 mustang cobra which requires premium at $2.89 a gllon and 17 mpg. 15 gallon tank fill up 3 times a week......... damn i gotta get something that gets better gas mileage and doesn't need premium

[Saur]

ouch monos!

For good beer or for crap beer, it's 2.80?

[Blis]

In some places you can get a pint for about £2.10 but its getting rarer these days and in some places you can pay as much as £3.50. Dunno about good beer v crap beer,when not drinking guiness,i only drink the one kind(stella artios)which come to think of it isnt beer at all but lager.Infact now that i think about it i have have no idea how much beer costs.

I know out here I've paid up to $8.00 for a Guiness or Bass, depending on the bar. Pints are generally about $5.00, unless it's a cheap-ass beer or a micro-brewery.

[Gruthar]

Price is at anywhere from $2.25 to $2.39 for regular in Tucson. I gotta run premium though, which was like $2.59 when I last filled up. And even premium isn't enough, my car's supposed to be running 93 octane, not 91. So I haven't been flooring it as much... in times of cheaper gas, I'd be paying for either fuel additives or half a tank of 100 octane. :thumbsdown:

At least I get ~21 mpg.

Ugh I feel ya bro. 94 Z28 gets about 8 mpg and of course wants only premium with is 2.79 here. I fill up around 3-4 times a week and my commute is/was only about 10 mins + the odd trip to the liquor store. *sigh* I gotta get rid of this car :thumbsdown:

[loopcycle]

seen this one Vryllyn, @17th/Market?

At that point I'd start cycling everywhere.

i go daily... but if my chai tea was 2.19 like gas instead of the normal 4.44 (i get a shot of espresso too) then i'd probably hit it two or three times a day. course that's also comparing a venti to a gallon.

:wallbash:

:yuck:

you calling me a freaktard? you're the one in Oklahoma bro... where the women run scared and the beer tastes flat.

:jester:

[DemonEyes]

Price gouging anyone? $6.15 a gallon for premium, someone is gonna get arrested.

[=HR=Gumby!!!]

Oklahoma...kinda like the old west..Where the men are men, and so are the women :jester:

[Kossori]

Heh, looks like a photoshop job to me.

[bman65]

Has to be a photoshop. Note how the author has made plus and premium cost the same and almost double regular. I'm sure that gas station sold a lot of plus gas that day.

[loopcycle]

nope. a friend took that pic with her digitalcam. its down the road from her apartment. it looks kinda goofy because i resized it. here's the fullsize:

[Al_Capowned]

2.20 - 2.30 for regular unleaded here in Atlanta. Luckily my car gets 30-36 mpg (it's small, what can I say). I'm going to get an audi in the next few months, but that will knock off a good 10-15 mpg from what i'm getting now :|

There is an alternative fuel type called E85, which most people don't know about, that some cars use. It is significantly cheaper ($0.50 or so) than normal gas. Check out www.e85fuel.com to see if there is a station near you.

[loopcycle]

those gas prices arent looking like a photoshop job much anymore.

edit: cut the image. cant find the source. could have very well been british (suggested by jeff, below).

[Gruthar]

Because that refinery went down cause of Katrina, prices are going to go/have gone to hell.

[dbodenheim]

Garrr, they're not Photoshop jobs, and they're not in the US either. I wish some of our British friends would speak up and let people know those signs are in POUNDS and PENCE for litres of petrol.

Im paying 2.79 here in Tampa right now but with the oil refineries shut down in Louisiana you can fully expect those prices to jack up in the next few weeks. President just declared a gas emergency an hour ago. I filled up yesterday when I heard from someone I know that his friend, who drives gas from storage areas to gas stations, was told to "go away" we have no gas here. All my friends at work filled up all their vehicles too.

[=HR=Gumby!!!]

Yep its getting kinda cray, gas around my area, Anderson, SC, is 3-3.50 a gallon. I had to stop at 6 differnt stations to find gass yesterday :thumbsdown:

[The_Professor]

Didn't even read this entire thread.

We get our gas in GA from LA so yesterday they made an announcement that all gas stations had to stop pumping at 5:00 due to a shortage of gas until federal reserves of gas are brought in. People were waiting in line for 45 mins to get gas. I got in line and gas was 3.29 for regular, when I went to fill up it ended up costing me 3.99 a gallon. Heard on the radio some parts of the city was 5.19 a gallon for regular freakin gas....

i would laugh at those pics...but for some reason im thinking thats not too far off....im gonna go buy some nice walking shoes

[GroovyDude]

I think regular is running around 2.99 here. Unfortunatly, both my vehicles are picky and require Premium which is at about 3.30.

[Kev Kanos]

I love my little MR2 with the 1.6l engine. It gets great gas milage. $15 lasts me over a week right now.

[3S+R311A]

It might have been three years ago or longer but, there was a gas station in Baytown, Texas where gas was .89 a gallon! In case you do not know, the Houston-Baytown area has the fist largest in the world and many others among the top five in the US. Since then the price has more than quadrupled in some places around the area.

I am actually glad. The short end sucks however, this finally gives the nation powerful motivation to seek alternatives. Now, if finally we could kill our other glutonous habit of eating incessantly in this area.

[Drayu]

3.09 for the cheap stuff 3.38 for the best

2.79-2.89 here in Pa... :thumbsdown:

[Wibby]

Paying 3 bucks for regular here in central Wyoming and we are pumping oil and natural gas out of the ground so fast that we are having a shortage rigs to build. That made sense right...?

[karl_58sow]

3 bux in iowa... im on leave tho.. i live in albuqerque.. probably the same there? dunno

[Smurf]

2.79-2.89 here in Pa... :thumbsdown:

Where at in PA? Near Harrisburg it has gone up 60 cents in two days. :thumbsdown: Today is day three, where will prices go?

[SLCoran]

In Dallas gas has risen to $2.89 for reg. and goes up 10 cents for each upgrade. It jumped 30 cents and this happened Tues. Sept. 2. I believe it will go up event more. :yuck:

[FiLTHY_SNiPER]

This is brutal.. especially when I'm driving a gas guzzling 4 litre, 6 cylider :wallbash:

i live round the area and yea like 3 years ago, u were paying a lot if it was over 1.10 or so.
now at least in SW houston and prices range b/w 3.00 and 3.25 depending. I've heard forcast that prices are going to hit 5 by the end of the year :thumbsdown: :wallbash:

(by the way, exxon has annonced a 30% or so increase in profit.... to the expense of us. :upyours: in other words, every time gas prices go up, those gas companies have increased thier profits)

[Multiplex]

$2.64 USD here in Tampa.

[-LiT- Killer_B]

2.99 - 3.19 here in indiana for the cheap stuff

[p00p]

$3.19 in Lincoln by wednesday, but I think it's starting to drop a bit. I saw 3.05 the other day driving around.

[jason bourne]
