Gas Price Roll Call

[Anonymous]

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/gallon

I 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.

Regular – 3.79

So they break a pipe and spill some oil and they immediately jack the prices so they can pay for the clean up and fix the pipe?

What happens if a local restaurant’s AC breaks down? Do they jack their prices for a couple weeks to buy a new AC?

I’m calling BS …

Regular – 3.89
Mid grade – 3.99

Last week it was 3.39, gone up steadily since then… went at lunch it was $3.79, less than four hours later it was $3.99, totally agree we are getting taken advantage of BIG time and it sucks!

[Amigo2k]

So every brand of gas that they sell in the Madison area comes from that one pipe?

We are all at the mercy of the oil industry and it doesn’t show much. At every opportunity for valid reasons or not the consumer gets screwed.

it looks like the gas prices will go down Wednesday since they are going to start to pump oil tomorrow in the fixed pipe …. That is how it works …right?

I gassed up yesterday and the Mobile station was 3.99 and the BP right next to it was 3.82 … I gassed up at the BP ….

[Xman]

The stations on E. Wash are all 3.99 :dry: I filled up at a BP in SP last night it was 3.82 :woohoo: ,and still the same this morning.. :S

[GTO Man]

My next daily driver will be a Volt or something similar. Many of the stations must be hurting, not selling as much of the over-priced junk inside the stores.
