Re: Local Gas Prices
Man, I see some of the gas prices in your area of the USA, and I'm like, "Wish it were that cheap here"..in the Pacific NW, and I live near 3 oil refineries, it's over $3 a gallon. Crazy!! Price Gouging? Nah, not here!!! And I use the 87 octane, and go to Napa for the Gas Additives. And I drive a Nissan Sentra for obvious reasons. Going to band practices and jams? Only if it's serious, for real. Have to drive far, Seattle area, and outlying areas, for that. Where I come from, Eastern Wa, the commute is not quite so bad.
In another thread, I asked about playing with my old band, going back there and all. It cost me $110 all wkend to gas up a rented Kia Spectra. 5 years ago, probably $50, tops. Glad I have good employment!!!

Re: Local Gas Prices
We are nearly $1.50 a litre, and there are about 4 litres to a Gallon, so that makes our petrol about $6 a Gallon, which would roughly be about $5 U.S a Gallon, what a fkn rip off, our governments gets about 60% of that in fuel excise and taxes, and do nothing to get it out the ground, refine and sell it.

Agreed, but Peak Oil is near which will push the price over $100 per barrell. At that time we'll look back at these current prices and talk about how good we had it.

Re: Local Gas Prices
It's around the $2.70 mark here in Tennessee
Re: Local Gas Prices
Yeah, no kidding, Dean!!! Actually, I don't think the problem is that there is no drilling up there, but the 'powers that be" have decided to keep the pumps on low. Whatever. This morning it was about $2.84 in Palm Coast. Ten cents more if you want to get-down-and-boogie. Owww, one more radar lover gone!!!
Re: Local Gas Prices
Up here in the Pacific NW this week, going down to $2.95 or so; Tesoro. Safeway's Gas Stations offer it @ 2.93. I expect it to jack up during the 4th. And I drive a Nissan 4 cyl, fer Christ's Sake, dang it!!!! Am gonna get a truck to haul my Git Rig/P.A. system, but damn; have to get a 6 cyl fuel economy rig. And did I mention I live near THREE Oil refineries?
Re: Local Gas Prices
I heard on the news last week that So. Cal,.. San Diego in particular, has the highest gas prices in the nation. Last night at the local Chevron it was $3.29 for regular unleaded.
And I heard that BP is shutting down the biggest oil field in Alaska for a pipeline leak....... probably for months.
That's just f**kin' great!
