[zionzr2]

glad i did fill yesturday!!!Today $2.85 a $.15 to $.20 jump

[AKLGT]

just paid 2.759 for 90 (premium here) gas.

[ColonelPanic]

Boo hoo, 87 octane is $2.72 here. lol

[AKLGT]

ouch! 87 is 2.599 right now.

[ColonelPanic]

Of course, you pay 2x more for everything else so I guess it's still cheaper down here in the lower 48.

[AKLGT]

lol. yes, they jack up every day cost of living items, especially food. but no taxes to pay and we get a yearly dividend check to help make up for it i guess. *shrug*i just wish we got 92 octane here.

[ColonelPanic]

ha ha, your subaru wishes it could have a tank of the 94 octane here. lolAlthough that stuff will probably be $3.25 a gallon by tomorrow.

[ArcsVibe]

(removed)!!!It is now being reported that gas has gone up to 1.34$ a liter for regular.Let me see the exchange, ok here it is:1.34 CAN = 1.13$ USD * by 3.79 liters (US Gallon) total:We are paying 4.28$USD a gallon for regular gas

[FrostyVibe21]

Here's something I hope the rest of you don't hafta see.... Gas, if you can find it around here, is not very cheap! I found this station charging $3.929/gallon, and they had just run out. I've seen at least 4 stations that are completely out of gas, in all grades... Luckily, I filled up on Monday night...

I passed some places yesterday that just broke the $3 mark. That's not the norm here though, prices range from 2.49-ish to 2.79ish at most plces.

[Kari]

I just paid $3.09 a gallon to top mine off for my weekend travels...$21 for 6 gallons of gas. Thankfully I'm getting 30 mpg even with city stop and go driving and *very* short distances, and am now driving basically about 10 miles a week if I stay here on the weekend, thanks to the bus system being so convenient. But geez, every station is $3.09...it's ridiculous.

[Altus]

London Ontario Canada today is at $1.20 / litre.Doing the math at today's exchange rate that works out to $3.86 US / US Gal

The reason why it reads "$3.92" is because they took the first number "2" off and replaced it with a "3" and hadn't gotten to the last numbers yet.

[blake31]

ran out my (removed). you can't tell me that we've run out of gas just 2 days after the hurricane hit. this is just price gouging. and bush won't do anything about it, he's making record profits right now.and i saw that GM offerd to defer payments for 90 days for those hit by the hurricane, and also donated a bunch of trucks and $500,000 to the relief effort.you think you'll see any oil companies donating any of their record profits to help?

[Pigs]

I'm trying not to let myself get wound up about it.I haven't been outside since getting to work but I'm sure it'll be over 3$ when I get home tonight

[BOZACK]

Just filled up today. $3.099 for regular. I passed on two stations that were at $3.299 for regular.

[satur9]

3.19/gal 40$ top off

[NSimkins]

Whoops, didn't see this thread, but today, after work I lucked out and caught $2.69/gal (they were changing it to $3.09/gal as I was leaving).

[northvibe]

well kanas city is perdicted to have $4+ a gallon i heard, tomorrow. The twin cities it should be like 3.10 and i think here its 2.99 as of early this afternoon.

[djpositivek]

Here in N.S. it went up 19 cents/litre to $1.299/litrethat works out to $4.23 US for a gallonUnfrickenbelievable

[Vibe_dude]

here in New Brunswick it goes from about 119.9 to about 129.9.....well these oil companies want the world to turn on its ear.....well they now have it........the cost of living has gone up here 100% in the last year.........gotta love it........

I should have taken a pict of the price on the pump. It was actually going for $3.92.

I can count at least 5-6 stations that were not selling gas because of no supply.

[tangerine]

such BS gas prices went up 60 cents today here.

The twin cities it should be like 3.10 and i think here its 2.99 as of early this afternoon.It's at $3.36 in Virginia, MN and $3.45 in Chanhassen, MN. It looks like its time to break out this pic again:

[ColonelPanic]

Stick this in yer pipe and smoke it!Stick a fork in 'em, they're done. For now, I suppose. Not sure what the deal is there. But obviously they don't have anything to sell.A more realistic number:Note that they didn't even want to tell us the price of 89 and 93 octane...That's today's status report of beautiful, sunny southern Indiana! 87 octane in the area could be found for $2.44 and perhaps lower on Sunday night.

[ngilbert]

Just paid $105.9 a litre of regular unleaded, although that was for the van, Vibe isn't ready to eat just yet.The place where I fill has $0.05 credit back, so I guess that's helps a little...Still being bent over by the gas companies... Can someone please explain how the gas already in the tanks at the station suddenly got more expensive?

[Bobtronique]

In Montreal tonight, gas prices were oscillating between $1.154 and $1.349 CAN. Gas does a 20 cent bounce after Katrina hurricane. They were talking a month ago about an increasing of the gas price that was suppose to climb to $1.20 max for next chrismas period...They were under estimate gas market a little bit!

[ArcsVibe]

Yup I had to take a picture to show my wife....this was in LaSalle at 5PM.

[HawaiiVibe]

Wow, usually everything is more expensive here, but I just filled up on my way home for $2.89. I figured I better get it now b/c who knows how much it's going to go up.As much as it sucks, I just feel lucky that I still have my car, a place to live, food, water, and most importantly my family and pets are still alive. What is happening down there in LA is unreal.

[AKLGT]

Quote, originally posted by tangerine »such BS gas prices went up 60 cents today here.that is insane! passed a gas station up here with 2.699 for 90 octane (our premium here), it's a good $.10/gal less than anywhere else in town.

[binary]

I just saw my first $3/gal of regular sign - EVER.

[binary]

[AZViking]

Topped off the neon this afternoon for 2.73 (87 octane) Just as they finished putting up 2.81 on the sign and before they changed the pumps. Then tonight we filled up the Vibe for 2.99 (87 octane) Just doesn't seem right that six hours is worth $0.26/gallon.

Quote »Americans paid an average of $1.60 per gallon of self-serve regular, the Lundberg Survey said. Publisher Trilby Lundberg said that is the highest price at the pump since June 2001. The price increase is in keeping with the rise in crude oil prices, which have exceeded $35 per barrel -- up more than $8 per barrel during the past two months, Lundberg said.That was a month after I bought my Vibe - February of 2003.Ahh, nostalgia! Beautiful, glorious nostalgia! I've gotta ask though, what the hell were we beeyochin' about back then? I know I was probably one of 'em who was.

[Bobtronique]

Got a discussion with my wife about gas price explosion.There's nothing we could do really! As a lot of peoples says in the past, we have to be moderate during our transport trip: Planning direction, be gentle on the pedal, keep tire well inflated, exchange air filter and oil filter regularely, keep as low as possible the weight of loose objects in the trunk, use of A/C with commun sense andlike some people mentionned: keep your car cleaned and waxed! Have e nice day everyone!

[ColonelPanic]

Allegedly, two major pipelines that supply the southeast and some of the midwest were out of commission have now come back in service, One fully, one partially... Hmm, maybe we'll se gas go down by a nickel tomorrow!

I've gotta ask though, what the hell were we beeyochin' about back then? I know I was probably one of 'em who was. demonstrates my geezitude, but the first time I paid for gasoline was as a wee lad, buying gas for the lawnmower to try to make a few dollars cutting lawns in the neighborhood. Was 29.9¢/gallon. Today, the cheapest I saw was $2.999/gallon. So, officially, gas now costs an order of magnitude more than what I first paid.

[Psychobroker]

Paid $3.01 last night at Costco, but everywhere else is $3.20-$3.29/gal

[ZubenElGenubi]

Tuesday night, my local Kroger shot up to $2.799 from $2.549 that morning.I found another Kroger five miles away at $2.539 and got 3¢ off that.This morning, my local Kroger was at $3.399 (a 60¢ increase) and the other one was at $3.099.My wife says it's okay for me to buy a $800 recumbent bike now!

[Bobtronique]

I just heard a minute ago that the gas price should rise to $1.50CAN before the end of the weekend...Speculation, speculation..!

[danielal]

I filled her up today it's $2.90 per gallon here for regular. I heard it will be $3.00/gallon when Labor day comes. Just last year alone, we were worried about gas going up to $1.99/gallon.Look at us now....

[BOZACK]

My biggest fear is that now that we are paying such a high price for gas the price won't go down at all. I really don't recall in history that the price of gas has gone down after the all the problems that caused the rise was resolved. I'll bet by the end of 2006 we will be paying $4.00 a gallon.

[jtodd]

The price variance here in MI is between $3.19 and $3.29 a gallon
