What’s the going rate for gas in your part of the world? Currently this is what I am seeing in the Houston area.
87 octane – $2.09/gallon
91 octane – $2.15/gallon
93 octane – $2.22/gallonI filled up last Thursday and it cost me $29.00 to fill up the tank in the Mustang, which is the highest I have ever paid. The way my motor has been tuned I have no choice but to use 93 octane. When I filled up that day there was a Hummer H2 behind me and I can tell from the owner’s face he was dreading the final tally. He filled up on 87 octane and when everything was said and done he had to fork over $50.00.
The sad thing was that he will probably have to fill up again in a couple of days.

Wow!
Thats a pretty steep overnight price increase!
Normally, the price only jumps five cents or so overnight.
I don’t think many businesses in this country believe in increasing the salaries of their employees. They must think people work for the love of it. I know that is what the company I work for must think.
As for the price of gas some moron said the price of a barrel should be $200 so that seems to be where it is headed.
Quote:That is a little over a 4% increase over night.I wonder if they can do that to my salary too….
Let me know too if you figure out how :haha:

The problem is all these “analysts” that predict prices. If they say $100 a barrell, there it goes. When they say $4 a gallon, there it goes.
A firing squad is in order for these a**holes.
Up, up, up! They won’t be happy until it’s $4, afterall there is a holiday coming and we will all be doing SO much more driving ~ that’s nuts…. Sooner or later there will be people out of work all over the place because one won’t be able to afford gas working for minimum wage. I would hope the country would wake up before that happens.
We’ve talked about our summer plans and don’t plan to be hostages in our own homes, but it gets tough when it’s costing big dollars just to get to work let alone drive my “fun weekend” car…
As a suggestion from GTO Man, we’ve created a new section of the forum dedicated to discussing how to improve gas mileage and talk about alternative fuels. Check it out and tell us your tricks/tips:
http://www.wiscollectorcar.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=80I fueled up my truck today, 3/4 tank was $55.
At least I won’t have to buy any next week since I’ll drive the Camaro to the Dells.
Regular – 3.93 to 4.03
Mid – Grade – 4.03 to 4.13
Premium – 4.13 to 4.23
Diesel – 4.43This is past the point of being ridiculous. There has to be controls put on the speculation where every little rumor causes the price to rise. This country will have trouble surviving this price rise along with everything else. Especially when salaries have not been keeping pace over the last number of years. This country evolved on cheap oil and gas and is not equipped to take changes like this so fast.
But the oil price is down to $134 a barrel drool.gif
These “analysts” and “speculators” deserve a firing squad, they are the ones pushing the prices up.
I agree, the price of a commodity as important as oil should not be prone to rumors and speculation.
Regular – 3.15
Mid-grade – 3.25
Premium – 3.39I hope people don’t slip back into old habits because the price has receded a bit. It would be nice to keep reducing demand and squeeze the oil companies and their disgusting executives as much as possible. And be able to tell OPEC where they can shove their oil.
