Official: Gas price bitching thread.

[Calcountry]

Oh, about every 2 or 3 weeks we get a gas price bitching thread, might as well lump em all in here in this thread. Just bump it up any time you wish to reengage the gas price bitching.


$3.07/gallon across the street.

$3.39 straight up from you...it sucks. ( Humboldt County, Calif. )

[Coach]

It's bullshit that it has to be over 3 freaking dollars for a single damned gallon.

Bullshit I say.

And where the hell are the E-85 fuel in Kansas?

[Calcountry]

It is getting bad, when Southwest will fly you there cheaper than you can drive.

Actually, at this rate, E85 isn't that much more of a bargain. They aren't making that shit fast enough, so no matter what they put into it, it's a rare commodity, thus the increase in that type of gas.

When it catches fire (pun intended) the price of E85 will probably go way down

$2.84 in Wichita.

Didn't think I would be happy to see that price, but it is better than it was a week ago.

Funny you mentioned that.

I did the math on driving to Dallas and back to KC, and flying Southwest from KCI to Dallas and back.

It is cheaper to fly than to drive.

I fee that if it's cheaper to fly than to drive, then there is something seriously wrong with this country.

I guess it's not too bad...you still see plenty of fools driving their SUV's and V8's around

My car has a 1.6 L tank. I'm saving more money than most people, but I should be saving more. Back in the day, it would only cost ten or eleven dollars to fill the tank. Every little bit counts when you're in college and commuting 40 miles to Warrensburg a couple times a week.

Thank God I am back in Texas..I had to pay 3.29 a gallon for diesel last week in MO, here in Texas it is only 2.95..

Actually E85 isnt a very good deal. What they dont tell you is that it takes roughly twice as much of E85 to go the same distance as regular gasoline. Here E85 is only 50 cents per gallon cheaper, so actually it is quite a bit more exspensive to use than regular gasoline.

[Saulbadguy]

Prices went down today. $2.88

[Bob Dole]

2.69 most places here

50% isn't accurate.

You can check the EPA mileage figures for new flex-fuel vehicles at http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/byfueltype.htm

2.75 here, gone down by 4 cents twice this weekend. The price of ethanol will gradually go down as supplies increase. It will work to push the price of gas down as well as less is being consumed. You'd think the Wall Street Journal would understand supply and demand instead of b!tching about ethanol all the time. You'd think they were talking about their favorite big company Wal-Mart.
