NFBT - How much is your gas now? - Page 10

WisChief · 04-29-2001, 07:14 PM

I only live a few blocks from where I work, so I don't have to buy alot of gas as I can either walk or ride my bicycle, but today I had to buy some stinkin' gas and it is $1.75 here in central Wisconsin. The last I remember seeing, it was $1.46. WTF???? So, how much is it where you are? :confused:

(I couldn't find the previous post of this nature)

LMAO - I paid $1.03 per gallon tonight. Since that price is at least $.20 less than most other stations, I filled up even though I was over half full....

bkkcoh · 07-16-2001, 06:00 AM

Filled up this morning in Columbus, Ohio for $1.19

I was picking my wife up for lunch a couple of weeks ago. There are two gas stations (right across the street from each other) by her work. The Shell was $1.51 and the Phillips 66 was $1.40. As I was standing there at the 66 filling my car up, I couldn't help but notice that there were more people getting gas at Shell.

I'll bet those are the same poeple that go back to work and ***** about the price of gas.

Gas by my suburban home is now down to $1.29. Unfortunately, I overslept this morning, missed my train and had to drive to work in Chicago. Had to get gas downtown for the drive home, and was stunned to see it was $1.60 downtown. Nice to know Chicago is still a$$-raping the universe. Anyway, I just got a couple of gallons to safely get home and then filled up the rest of the way out here.

Sure feels good not to live there anymore. Other than the 10% sales tax on my lunch every day, those scumbags don't make anything off me anymore. In fact, that was the first time in over a month I've driven there. Hopefully it will be a helluva lot longer before I have to again.

Got gas in Bartlesville, Ok. tonite for $1.11. I think gas is cheaper the closer you are to a refinery. It doesn't seem to be just freight costs either. Also, the taxes on gas vary from state to state.

CalInjun,

Are you serious? Duh, now I get it you filled your lawnmower tank which must have been half full. You got me with that one but good. :cool:

Here in San Diego gas after three months holding steady finally dropped about a dime this week so

Regular Unleaded is about 1.78
Premium Unleaded just made it under 2.00 at 1.99

And those are at the cheapest stations.

California Injun · 07-17-2001, 11:35 PM

Frazod,

At least Chicago has the decency to use Vasoline.

Out here in Cali, we just assume the position every time the gas gauge descends towards empty. Here's a hot tip;

Two throw pillows on the driver's seat and a dollop of Preparation H makes the journey home from the station a bit less painful.:eek:

Frazod · 07-18-2001, 07:41 PM

Yes, Injun, they use Vasoline in Chicago, and you get a kiss and a cigarette afterwards. Of course, the kiss is from one of Daley's goons and the cigarettes are $5.00 a pack! :D

I think our gas station owners here in Jeff City MO are on weed or something. Gas dropped here to a low of a $1.18 right after the 4th. Since then it has continously bounced back and forth between $1.19 and $1.29. It started this week at a $1.19 and about Weds or Thursday jumped to $1.29. Last night while driving home from work, I noticed several stations had gone back down to $1.19. This makes two straight weeks in a row it's done that.

It seems our gas stations here don't do any kind of real analysis of what they need to sell their gas for. Breaktime sets the price and everybody else plays follow the leader. With the exception of maybe one or two gas stations, every gas station in town has the exact same price.

As I said before, the supply and demand is NOT fluctuating that much over a two day period.

Frazod · 07-21-2001, 06:19 PM

I think they're smoking some of that weed up here as well.

The station that was $1.29 shot up to $1.44, and now is back down to $1.41. I wonder if they spin some sort of wheel of fortune to determine gas prices.

The good news is I've cut my average gas usage by two-thirds. Even if I am getting screwed, it sure doesn't hurt near as much now that I'm not going through a tank a week.

[SIZE=3]From a Rueters news story: "Sky-high gasoline prices through part of the spring were enough to push Exxon Mobil's refining, marketing and transportation earnings to $1.27 billion, up 27 percent from a year ago. That also marked a second-quarter record for the oil company, it said. But strong energy prices, which have fueled big profits for Exxon and other oil companies . . . ."

$1.16 is about the lowest I've seen in Houston lately.

gh4chiefs · 07-25-2001, 10:07 AM

CBS news just reported that OPEC has agreed to production cuts in an effort to drive up oil prices. And of course good old Exxon et al will be all too happy to jack up the price of gasoline again.

I long for the day when somebody discovers an economically viable alternative to oil and we can tell OPEC and Exxon to kiss our collective asses!
