How Much Did You Pay For Gas Today?

[grannygirl]

Lucky Ducks, is all I have to say! $3.99 here

[Taylor1]

3.79 here!!!!!

[Naturalized-Texan]

When I filled up my wife's car today the price was $3.639.

[Taylor1]

wow... that's cheap..

[Naturalized-Texan]

In 2006 Nancy Pelosi promised the American people that if they would elect a Democrat Congress, they would lower gas prices. The American people did elect a Democrat Congress. When the Dems took over Congress in January 2007, the price of a gallon of gas was $2.32. 'Nuf said.

[Timberwolf]

Amen to that, Tex...

Gas is down to $3.59⁹ today...

Could you imagine how much less a barrel of oil (and therefore, a gallon of gas) would be if Congress would lift THEIR offshore drilling ban?? PRESIDENT Bush (for those in the DBM) announced the Executive ban was lifted...what...3-4 weeks ago? On the Monday he made the announcement, oil was $148/barrel. It is now $115 (22.3% drop). If the same happened after Congress lifted their ban, in 3-4 more weeks, oil would be under $90/barrel.

But, the farkin' liberals - claiming they want to do what's best for the country - decide to take a 5 week vacation. PoS need to be hung from a gallows on prime time...:flame:

[dajoga]

$3.31 (including my 5% discount) for Shell at Jane, MO

Going on vacation next week so let'er fall like a ROCK!!!!

[CONSERVATIVE HERO]

I remember paying .99 a gallon back in, like, 2001. I used to drive around when I was bored for hours. Not so much anymore.

[BarryC]

I paid $3.55⁹ in the Woodstown area of Salem County, on Friday. Up here in Atlantic County the cheapest is in the low $3.60s.
But from reading the last page of this thread, it looks as though NJ no longer has the cheapest gas!

[Naturalized-Texan]

I remember paying .99 a gallon back in, like, 2001. I used to drive around when I was bored for hours. Not so much anymore.
I remember paying 19 cents a gallon back in the early 1950s.

[jayson]

wow... that's cheap..

No, it's not. I live in one of the highest gas price areas in the country and I still remember the day it was $1.00 exactly at the most expensive station in town (in early 2001). My buddy in Georgia said gas was $0.41 a gallon where he lives in Alpharetta. This wasn't long ago...

[Rhino]

I remember paying 19 cents a gallon back in the early 1950s.I remember 26 cents a gallon. I used to fill up my minibike for about 18 cents. Of course back then 18 cents was a lot of money for a little kid with no income.

[BarryC]

The last time I paid less than a dollar for regular was between November 2001 and February 2002. It was as low as $.919. Previous to that it was a little above $1 per gallon.

But it would be interesting to dig out my record books from the early 80s and see what I was paying. I can't remember.

I do have a memory of seeing $.569 on a gas pump while riding in my parents car, just before the so-called oil crisis, and a year or two before I got my permit. The car at the time was a 1975 Chrysler Town & Country station wagon. My parents got rid of the car less than a year before I started driving, I believe. I was disappointed.

Barry

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Still $3.85/gal around here. Of course, down where my Mom lives (an hour away from me), THEY have no extra gas taxes (unlike MY county), and someone called in to the radio station I listen to (they have a segment where people call in with locations for cheap gas) and reported $3.55/gal at one of the stations down there. :(

[BarryC]

Okay I just checked the USA national gas temperature map http://www.gasbuddy.com/gb_gastemperaturemap.aspx
and found a large section of South Jersey, northwest of here, with prices ranging from $3.399 to $3.499 at dozens and dozens of stations. Cool.
Edit: I see that one of those stations has Diesel for $3.999.

[Naturalized-Texan]

$3.399 at our local Valero station.

On my way home I passed the Chevron station that was selling regular for $3.999 about 6 weeks ago. Today regular was also $3.399 there, a 60 cent drop.

[Naturalized-Texan]

On our way from Texas to MD, we drove about 1,500 miles and got 32.5 mpg on our 2007 HHR. The cheapest gas we bought was $3.399 in Texas and Tennessee, but we saw gas advertised as low as $3.329 in Virginia and Diesel as low as $3.899 also in VA.

[oldcoastie]

It's still $3.89 - $4.19 around here.

[Timberwolf]

Got down to $3.49⁹ end of last week...back up to $3.59⁹ a couple days ago...and $3.69⁹ today.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Wow. It's down to $3.77/gal here. :rolleyes:

[BarryC]

The no-brand station in town has had regular holding at $3.32⁹ for quite a while now. Others are similar.
But there's an area west of here where the prices could be as much as 10¢ a gallon cheaper than that.

Barry

[Naturalized-Texan]

The most expensive gas on our trip so far was $3.579 in MD just outside the Capital Beltway.

[BarryC]

Since I've been out of work on disability, I haven't driven much. But I just drove by the gas station I mentioned earlier, and the price of regular was down to $3.29⁹ (or possibly $3.28⁹).

I find it very strange to see Exxon with low prices, but they've got 'em. Ever since that unbelievable record high profit, Exxon's had low prices, right down with the rest of them here (though I didn't notice their price today).

[BarryC]

This is absolutely an outrage. There's no call for this whatsoever. As of Friday, almost all of the lowest-priced stations around here were down to $3.14⁹. I thought it was great. Not cheap, but great that it was finally going down substantially. Today I drove past most of those same stations, on my way home from work, and every last one of them was at $3.39⁹ for regular, every single one. It's outrageous. There's no call for that.
We've been having hurricanes hitting this country, from the coast of Texas, all the way around to the east coast, for hundreds of years, yet gas prices were never raised after a hurricane, not until Katrina. Now they raise the prices for every excuse they can think of. It's not fair, not fair at all.
So what exactly would happen to the oil companies and to the speculaters if they left the prices right where they were 2 days ago, instead of raising them by 25¢ a gallon? This is totally wrong. There is something seriously wrong in this country when gas prices go up by 25¢ a gallon without OPEC being involved. Shepard Smith said a couple days ago that the prices could actually double or triple after this hurricane. That's just criminal.
Sorry for my rant.

[oldcoastie]

From Thursday night to Friday morning it jumped 35¢ a gallon here (south of Chicago). Then on Saturday morning it was an additional 28¢ a gallon. From $3.73 to $4.36 in less than 2 days.

It is a major ripoff.

[Oldeshooter]

$3.47 Springfield, MA Fri and jumped up 15cents gal Sat

[Timberwolf]

Get this...last weekend (the 6th), we met some friends of our in Mahnomen, MN (Shooting Star Casino).

Gas in Erskine, MN (60 miles from here...25 miles north of Mahnomen...town of 422) was $3.52⁹/gal...18 miles south in Bijou (town of 45) it was $3.64⁹/gal...that's right a podunk town of 45 people in the middle of, basically, nowhere had gas for a nickel cheaper than it was here.

Chaps my hindquarters like you wouldn't believe.

[Timberwolf]

Prices dropped 15¢ / gallon to $3.49⁹....diesel is at $3.89⁹

[dajoga]

Bought gas in Bentonville, AR for the mower on Mon, 15th, $3.859; today it's down to $3.599!

On 9/13 bought shell for 3.759 in SW MO but they only allowed $50 worth. No big deal as across the street I finished fill-up at another Shell station.

So we're about back down to pre-Ike levels!

[Elgalad]

Went to visit my folks and sis today..

Gas in Iowa was $3.39.

Got back home to Wisconsin, only 50 miles away, and it's still $3.75 :(

Taxes are a female dog, apparently.


-Elgalad

[Lubbock]

$3.68.9 on Monday at Bolton's.

Today --Friday 9/19 $3.47.9.

I'm still thankful every day for my Honda Civic 5-speed.

[garlicguy]

$3.46⁹ at the local Safeway, Polson, MT.

[Naturalized-Texan]

$3.399 yesterday at Sam's. Most of the other stations in our area are selling regular for either $3.459 or $3.499.

[BarryC]

I believe I saw $3.16⁹ today. I know I saw one station at $3.19⁹, definitely. We are almost down to the pre-Ike level.
Hopefully I will get the registration and plates transferred to this other car so I can start driving it. The 12 mpg of my pickup is killing me, especially right now, when I missing 3 weeks of pay from August. I have not caught up yet.

[Timberwolf]

$3.49⁹ here.

[spectre]

They're rationing in the western part of NC, west of Winston Salem along I-40 to west of Asheville. We drove to Tennessee this weekend for a TaiKwonDo tournament (both kids are black belts) and we had to sit in line in Hickory for 2 hours to get 10 gallons of gas...thankfully that got us to Gatlinburg, and they are fine. Gas there is around 3.60 per gallon.

Gas in Raleigh is still between 3.85 to 3.99.

Gas in Raleigh is still between 3.85 to 3.99.Do you mean the station itself is rationing, or is the local government rationing?

[spectre]

Do you mean the station itself is rationing, or is the local government rationing?

"Rationing" probably wasn't the correct term; they were just out. Before we left I pulled up the online Asheville paper and they (the city) were rationing...telling city employees to work alternate days or just stay home if possible.

The gas station owner felt that it would clear up this week. They were getting deliveries, but it's going to take a few days before supply gets back to equal demand. Until that happened this particular station was only allowing 10 gallons per customer...and we had to go into Hickory a ways before we found anyone who had any gas.

[satcom]

About $4.60 per gallon.

[Oldeshooter]

$3,31 @ Hess 9/29/08 in Spfld., MA

[The_Elucidator]

$3.29 here in the RGV!!

[BarryC]

Just a couple of hours ago I saw station that had regular for $3.09⁹. I thought I was seeing things, so I looked again. That's what it was.
But I won't need gas again till maybe Sunday or later.
Also, amazingly, Diesel fuel seems to be getting much, much cheaper. I've seen it in the $3.70s or less. It's about time.

By the way, what's the RGV?

[DoctorDoom]

Per Oil-Price.net (http://www.oil-price.net/), as of 10:33, crude was $98.28. Darn those speculators! On the newgative side, dropping oil prices reduce gas prices and thereby eases the preessure to drill here and drill now. The false sense of security can be dangerous in the long haul.

For our oil folks, are the plans being made to open up promising oil fields now that the congressional ban has expired?

[Naturalized-Texan]

JBy the way, what's the RGV?
Rio Grande Valley.

[dajoga]

Down to $3.199 here in Bentonville, AR...dropped a nickle today!

[The_Elucidator]

[BarryC]

Anyone use Diesel fuel here? What are the lowest local prices you've seen? I've seen low $3.70s or lower, so far.

[The_Elucidator]

$3.03 today at Valero!

[DoctorDoom]

October, Friday 3 2008 - 14:48:09 - crude oil was $93.88.

[BarryC]

Just paid $3.02⁹ this afternoon at the no-brand station in town.

[DoctorDoom]

Enjoy it, folks. Once Captain Tire-Gauge assumes power, it will be $5/gallon or higher—if you can find any. And it will of course be Bush's fault.

[Neil Peart]

$3.45/gal yesterday.

As of October, Thursday 9 2008 - 17:10:43, the crude oil price was $84.67/barrel, from a high of $145.95 in mid-July. I wonder whom the RATs will blame for that.

[BarryC]

Just saw $2.85⁹ this afternoon at a Sunoco that just recently converted from being a Coastal. Almost all other stations are $2.89⁹ , even Exxon.

Still not as cheap as some of you guys.

[Timberwolf]

$2.89⁹ today...topped off the tank...$62 for less than half a tank....LOL

[Naturalized-Texan]

$2.999 today at our nearby Valero station. However, I had the occasion to go to a mall in Baytown near I-10 later in the day and a Raceway station there had regular for $2.819.

[buckeyepete]

$3.49 at Exon..............lowest around here in a while.

[DoctorDoom]

October, Saturday 11 2008 - 18:52:51
Crude Oil - $77.70

That's about 53% of what is was in July. Who's hurting? Russia, Venezuele, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, et al, nations that rely on oil for most if not all of their income.

How long will it be before Pelousy takes credit for it?

[Longhorn_Platinum]

:moo: I got it for $2.799 at Love's® on the south side of Amarillo last night on the way home from Friday night football.

[DesertFox]

Damn! Just paid $3.159.

[BarryC]

The same Sunoco now has it for $2.78⁹, just two days later. I will have to buy tomorrow. Maybe it will go down even more. Who knows?

I hope it keeps plummeting!

I dread the cost of heating oil. It cost me over $2k last winter.

[Naturalized-Texan]

Valero?
Yep, Valero. Valero is the largest refiner of gasoline in the U.S.

BTW, I filled up my wife's car today at the same Valero station I filled up mine on Friday for 10 cents less - $2.899.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Or those who use Natural gas...it's price has doubled since '03 as more power plants are using it b/c the enviro-nuts have mostly stopped more coal fueled plants!


Now there's a big push for Compressed NG for autos since it's "40%" cheaper than gasoline, but what will happen to it's price if the demand goes up? Basic econ 101, high demand pushes prices higher!

On my way to my chiropractor appointment this morning regular gas at our nearby Chevron station was $2.899, but on my way home an hour later when I stopped there for gas it was down to $2.799.

I've seen gas prices do that very thing, time and time again, and have noticed it more and more since we reached the all-time high a few months back.

I'm glad I'm not the guy [gal] who sits in the back room with a green eyeshade on, having to figure out what price to put out front on the marquee from one minute to the next.

I waaaaay too simple minded to have even a basic understanding of how the price of crude relates to the price at the pump; how anyone arrives at the figure.

AND PLEASE, don't anyone take it upon himself to give me a crash course.

I don't want to know.

By the way, I forgot to tell you. A couple of weekends ago when I was over in Oklahoma visiting my sister-in-law, it was $1.99 in Kingston. A little over #2.00 in Madill, and $2.20 or so in Ardmore, which is on I-35 --OKC to Dallas, and always higher on the interstates.

I thought $1.99 was amazing, but there's always a gas war on in Kingston. The population of that little town might be 1,000, and for whatever reason, it's the cheapest gas in the state most of the time.

[The_Elucidator]

:roar: Man sis, I haven't paid that much in weeks...

[DeclinetoState]

I haven't paid that little in much longer. I paid $2.999 today in the East Bay at an ARCO station.

[Timberwolf]

$2.49⁹....if this keeps up, this winter may not be so bad. Diesel is down to $3.43⁹. That's over a dollar less than this time last year (if I remember correctly). That means heating costs should go down this year.

[Naturalized-Texan]

A little aside: On our 4,000 mile trip to MD & PA in late August and early September we got 32.3 mpg on our 2007 Chevy HHR. Last Saturday we drove to the Texas Renaissance Festival, a 200-mile round trip passing through Houston, and got 32.9 mpg.

[Teenager]

Right now almost all stations have regular for $2.439, even Exxon. There's one station that may be cheaper by a penny or two. I won't need gas till next weekend, if I'm estimating correctly. So who knows how low it will get. And there are other parts of NJ that are cheaper than here. But you guys in Texas and OK really have it going on there. Wow.
Gas is cheap but I just had to pay for new belts and an alternator in my pickup. The altnernator was an original, 21 years old. Not bad at all.

Well yesterday I paid $2.359, but only because I didn't have enough gas to make it to any of the stations that were selling regular for $2.319.
But the National Gas Temperature Map shows an area southwest of here where you can get gas for as low as $2.059.

$1.88 here in southern Indiana.

I don't like it, really. I'd have preferred prices stabilized somewhere around $2.25 to $2.50 a gallon. Considering inflation over the opast 30 years that's a reasonably fair price. People can still enjoy their normal sized vehicles while others can continue to tell themselves they are doing good driving their econo boxes and the oil companies can pile up profits while claiming to not be stiffing anyone while OPEC stays fairly silent. Moderation, where everyone is reasonably satisfied.

Dropping like this makes me twitch. It's going to cause someone to bolt and prices to spike again if we're not careful. Of course, that assumes Obastard doesn't step in and screw it all up by federal dictat anyway.

Went to Georgia this weekend: bought gas just over the Florida-Georgia line and paid $2.17. Drove for another hour northward, and saw gas for $1.98. While in Warner Robins, we paid $2.01 on Saturday. Driving back from Georgia on Sunday, we stopped after Americus and paid $1.97. When we got back to our home town, the price was $2.39.

$1.88 here in southern Indiana.

I don't like it, really. I'd have preferred prices stabilized somewhere around $2.25 to $2.50 a gallon. Considering inflation over the opast 30 years that's a reasonably fair price. People can still enjoy their normal sized vehicles while others can continue to tell themselves they are doing good driving their econo boxes and the oil companies can pile up profits while claiming to not be stiffing anyone while OPEC stays fairly silent. Moderation, where everyone is reasonably satisfied.

That American flag picture was probably from the mid 1990s.
I know in 1994 you could buy gas for $.919 here in Jersey. I remember because there was a big family trip that year. So the picture was taken a couple years after that, I'd guess.
Today the cheapest gas near here or near where I work is $2.119

$1.809 tonight at our nearby Wal-Mart. When we passed that Wal-Mart early this afternoon, the price was 4 cents higher.

My tank is full right now (paid $2.12 a couple of days ago), but when I drove past the cheap-gas station right outside of gatorville yesterday I saw it is now down to $2.07. Still $2.17 in my little town though.

Oh, and brudder? ... :punish:

[BarryC]

Paid $1.919 yesterday at a no-brand station. But we are no longer in the cheapester part of New Jersey. It's in the $1.80s, or possibly lower, in parts of Cumberland, Camden and Gloucester Counties, I believe.

[NonLiberalInOregon]

We are hovering around $2.09 to $2.19 here in Salem, OR.

Down to a buck 99 here!! :thumb:

My energy bill came today and I just about cried!! We're on a 'budget' with the local utility. They average your past 12 months usage and adjust your payment every quarter based upon the past 12 months. For the last quarter we were paying $234/month for gas & electric. This next month it DROPPED to $140/month!!! What a HUGE relief!!

What I fail to understand is why everyone refuses to call out one of the primary factors of what lead to this economic mess we are in.

Gasoline.

At one point, just months ago, Oil was $147/barrel, gasoline was $4.45/gallon. Now that the damage is done, oil has collapsed to $56/barrel and gasoline is heading below $2.00/gallon, but no one will admit that the cost of fuel played a major role in the collapse we are seeing now. Politicians, news media, everyone is silent.

FUBAR if you ask me.
