1.93 for regular and 2.13 for premium in Virden, little south of Springfield, IL...I can still afford to put gas in my XJ because i'm still stock, but im spending more money than I want to on gas. Oh well, i'm 17, pay for my own vehicle, insurance, hobbies, cell phone, everything, not many teens can say they do that anymore. I love the freedom and I work my ass off and love every minute of it.

Shell station here in San Francisco $2.49-9/10 for 87 Octane. The cheapo station down the street was $2.25-9/10 for 87 Octane. At the exchange on the base it was $2.06-9/10 when I left yesterday afternoon, cost $53 to fill up my suburban.

Are the oil companies ripping us off or is it time to start off-shore drilling?

 

[Inisadow]

between 2.11 and 2.32 here in washington. I'mm gunna have to go madmax if the oil companies keep this up. Ill ram people with my jeep and take their guzzaline.

I almost wonder if we're going to have to get locking gas caps again. I'm sure pretty soon stealing gas by siphoning it out will become popular again.

 

[churky89]

Last time I gassed up here in Lewisville Tx,$1.99 fer da Prem stuff...If I run anything lower than 93 octane,Churky don't run fer dookey.......

 

[Inisadow]

Dont a lot of vehicals have a screen behind the cap to prevent siphoning?

 

[Steelerfan]

I only wish that I could see prices that low here in Vegas.

Lets see here in Hamilton Ontario we are paying 87 cents a liter, which is about 20 more per liter over you guys in the states (inluding exchange) I know that the Canadian Gallon is larger than the American Gallon, but I think it works its way to like 4.4 liters per gallon, usually we pay between 70-75 cents a liter

Here in the Vancouver(Canada), area,After all the conversions, in American dollars, last thursday we had to pay $2.83 a U.S. Gallon!!!! That's 97.9 cents canadian,a litre (1.38 Can. to 1 American dollar), and 1 litre = .26 U.S. Gallons... Man that really hurt!!!!!

This should be a sticky thread just to have a record of the prices.

 

[BlueMJ]

OK,Central NY gas prices have officially hit $2.00+ per gallon....this sux

 

[themud]

Ya well 2.16 a gallon really sux and we have been at over 2.00 for like 1-2 months already they expect that phx will hit 3.00 by the end of the summer(stupid MTBE gas its crap anyway).... :flamemad:

 

[REDXJ4FUN]

$2.19 a gallon for regular unleaded. This is crazy. Long term we the United States need to start drilling for our own oil. Short term we need to start threatening to produce less food. Why because we are the worlds largest food producing country ,and we can turn the screws so to speak by cutting back our production of food. If we do this the whole world will tell those OPEC countries to keep pumping oil at the rate they used to.

I had saw somewhere that we only import about 25% of the oil we use and the reason its going up is becase the companys know they can bend us over and theres nothing we can do.

While for most it is a hard thing to do I have reduced my driving by about 80%, only go out when I need to visit a customer or a pickup or delivery. I also only buy one brand now, Hess. They are the lowest priced. For a long term solution the best bet would be if everyone only bought ONE brand. Say for a month 5 million drivers only bought Hess or Mobil the others would come down just to get rid of the stuff in the ground. While I'm no economic expert my take is that the people with big money can no longer make big interest in stocks, bonds and money market so they are driving up fuel prices. Be interesting to see who started buying futures and oil company stocks over the last year or two. The oil companies profits are up over 70% so far this year. Bush better tell his cronies to cool it or he won't get reelected come november thats for sure...
Be interesting if all the people who are really ticked of just took a week or two off and stayed home the entire time in protest.

Bought gas in NJ yesterday, Hess, $1.779 in Roxbury in North Jersey, Mobil $1.809. Mobil and Amoco here in the poconos $1.909 went up .05 last wednesday or so.

Don't know how much oil comes from overseas, but Alaska provides 17% of the US's oil needs, but 25% of California's oil needs.
