I paid $3.21 yesterday here.

[Calcountry]

Filled up yesterday at an ARCO for 2.99, and it seemed cheap.

Gas was as high as 3.33 just a month ago.

[pr_capone]

2.82 here in Wichita

[Hydrae]

2.69 is the lowest I have seen here in the north part of Austin.

[redbrian]

Paid $2.779 July 5th in NKC, same price I paid a week ago.

[Saulbadguy]

$1.69. Price of a garden hose. That doesn't account the bad aftertaste and hallucinations, though.

[htismaqe]

10% ethanol is also now 7 cents higher, instead of 7 cents lower, than regular unleaded.

[RickObie]

$3.33 in San Diego

[hypersensitiveZO6]

2.97

[pr_capone]

But its somehow magically better for the environment even though it takes more energy to make it than it provides! lol

[htismaqe]

Right now, they can't make it fast enough. High demand + low supply = higher prices.

I understand bud. My comment was on the viability of Ethanol as a source of fuel, not the prices of it.

[Rooster]

It won't be long until wackos are hi-jacking 18 wheelers hauling gasoline and hiding them in a field after painting them camo.

I mean I haven't really thought about it. :p

Info from Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol#As_a_fuel

Ethanol has only 66% of the energy content of gasoline (in terms of lower heating value with units of "BTU/US gallons").[13]

Some believe Butanol is a better option since it can be made from the same corn and other natural products. It works in all existing cars not just flex fuel ones. It gets better gas-mileage - than gasoline or ethanol and provides better octane levels. It also pollutes less than ethanol or gasoline per mile.

Sure. I'm just saying that the only reason I bought it was because it was alot cheaper. I'm sure there's alot of people just the same.

I would imagine that the price will come down pretty quick because demand is going to drop-off dramatically now that it's not.

Did you notice a drop off in miles to the gallon when you used it?

/me is curious

[Eleazar]

Think I paid $2.80 last night in Liberty. Decided to top the tank off in advance since I read on here it was going to jump up over the weekend.

[Eleazar]

My vehicle will run on ethanol. I've never actually done it, but the owner's manual says there will be something like a 25% decrease in mileage compared to regular gasoline.

If it were 25% cheaper than gasoline and available somewhere around here I would consider it.

[chiefs4me]

2.69 for a gallon of diesel, been that price for a month or more..

[StcChief]

2.79 Lake St.Louis

Yeh... that just isnt worth it to me. I dont neccesarily live hand to mouth or anything, but I still count my pennies.

Until they come out with something better... I say F*ck the environment. :D

[htismaqe]

/me is curious

It's not very noticable. But I'm not using 85% ethanol, I'm using 10% ethanol.

[ChiefFan31]

3.47 over the weekend in San Diego

That is for Super Unleaded though, not sure how much reg U is.

[Eleazar]

I dont neccesarily live hand to mouth or anything, but I still count my pennies.

Yeah, I'm not starving or anything, but if you knock my gas mileage down from 22 to 16 (sic), that's going to end up costing me a lot of money.

One heck of an expensive warm fuzzy feeling if I am remembering these numbers right... :hmmm:

[Calcountry]

Right now, they can't make it fast enough. High demand + low supply = higher prices.Your econ is almost as good as your football. :D

[Predarat]

2.89/gal in Nashville

[htismaqe]

Jack of all trades, master of none...

Exactly... hopefully there will be another alternative soon that is not as expensive as ethanol.

[Frazod]

$3.10 near my house, and Naperville is generally one of the least expensive towns in the Chicagoland area. I would imagine it's close to $3.50 or worse in Chicago.

I only work in Chicago. I live in Naperville. The L doesn't come anywhere near me. Thank God.

Don't you know Tim that the excuse their using this time is the uncertainty over North Korea. How that Daffy Duck watching clown has anything to do with the production of oil in the M.E. has me baffled. :hmmm: :cuss:

[Nightwish]

My last fill-up was yesterday afternoon, at a QT in St. Charles. It was $2.89 there.

[Gonzo]

I wouldn't know what the price of gas here is. I drive a company car and all my gas is paid for. BOW DOWN TO ME! ROFL

[DaKCMan AP]

Filled up for 2.79 yesterday and now it's 2.81

In South Fla its 2.89 or higher.

[Miles]

Just paid 3.07 for premium.

[Nzoner]

I paid $2.85 today and noticed the station right next to mine had it at $2.91

[Halfcan]

According to WPI gas will hit $12 per gallon next week.

[Halfcan]

Just paid 3.07 for premium.

Premium??

ROFL ROFL ROFL

Hell I cut my gas with a 5/8 ratio of water-gotta be smarter than them no good towel heads.

[theultimatekcchiefsfan]

Check out this news clip. I grew up with this guy. He's is getting 70 miles per gallon with some type of revamped gasoline vaporized carbeurator with an old Delta 88. Pretty cool stuff here. He has only filled up 5 times this whole year.

[Pitt Gorilla]

But its somehow magically better for the environment even though it takes more energy to make it than it provides! lolThink longer term; the production of ethanol will become more efficient.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I was down in Rock Hill SC this week and paid 2.72 It's at 2.89 up here in Charlotte.

I call shotgun.

[luv]

About 24 hours ago, it was 2.74 here. Didn't really pay attention today.

[greg63]

2.99 here I think.

[Imon Yourside]

Much cheaper to buy a rubber hose and gas can.

[greg63]

The real kicker here is that the gas hike comes just two days before I take the family on a week long vacation; we leave Sunday. :banghead:

Depends on if you get caught.

[Moooo]

2.76 in Springfield... Though I can usually go about 2-3 weeks without filling up, which comes out to about 4 gallons a week.

It could be a LOT worse.

Moooo

[Imon Yourside]

Depends on if you get caught.

Caught? nah, you just tell the people your checking the Muffler Ball Bearings or the Tail Light Fluid. Most will thank you and give you $5 for taking their gas.

Reminds me of Tommy Boy.

I was, uh, just checkin the specs on the inline rotary...I'm retarded.

My favorite is telling someone their "Kenuter valve" went out.

I was thinking more along the lines of Fletch.

"yeah i think it's the 7th sphetzer valve. Now i'm gonna need some 30 weight ball bearings and some gauze pads, along with some antifreeze preferably quaker state...No better make that prestone."

Common guys; maybe you need a refresher course. It's all ball barrings now days!

I love that show!ROFL

[Bob Dole]

It was still available for $2.73 here yesterday afternoon. Probably time to top off the tank before the now-regular 20 cent jump.

[chief52]

$3.35 here. Seem to be pretty consistently around the highest in the nation. :banghead:

[Bob Dole]

Jumped to $2.79 overnight.
