Holy gas prices batman!

[GrimmJeeper]

4.97 for regular this morning here, news said it went up 16¢ a gallon overnight. they also said stations are running out of 87 octane, and others are just shutting down till the prices come down because they say its costing them too much to purchase the gas in bulk and even at these prices they can't make a profit.

so... how much are you paying at the pump?

 

[boostamante]

This blows so much!

We're not getting beat up so bad back here, but regular has gone up from about $3.90 to $4.15 a gallon over the last two weeks. And I'm gonna guess we don't use Calif. formulated gas...

Sucks when I drive 1200+ miles a week.

 

[crazyjim]

Aye... I average roughly 1200-1600 miles per week. Luckily diesel seems to be holding steady.

david we had a refinery blow up north, something about a pipeline problem, and down south here refinerys were having power outages because it was so hot and the power grid was overworked. so statewide pretty much gas production was all but halted for a few weeks.

I was reading up on that this morning, its a shortage in ability to refine gasoline.. diesel is still pumping at full speed and is supposed to be "unaffected".

Local diesel went up 11 cents last night, but that station was already the cheapest in town so may just be an adjustement.

Yeah, I read about the refinery. That certainly doesn't help.

What frustrates/angers/amuses me is every six months, when they switch from summer to winter formulations, there is a "Shortage". They've been doing this switch for how many years, and can't seem to get the timing right to avoid shortages, and the resultant price increase.

I'm fortunate that I work from home. I haven't gotten gas in so long. The woman does, though, and it's hurting us a tad.
