[lovethesea]

[socal57che]

Just filled up tonight... $3.85/gal. 1st station was $3.91.

 

[1guydude]

it aint goin down man! Other contries pay something like $5.00/gal
I use premium and believe me my lil VW aint cheap....not to mention my side skirt fell off today and i ran it over LOL!!!!
I think premium is something like $4.10/gal here in Wa....seattle wa not DC wa lol

 

[tangs rule]

Thanks to the Obama economy, gas should be 2 bucks/gal - but 3.80 at the pump ensures his monies for re-election attempts.

Both of our other cars require premium. Luckily my wife's BMW roadster gets about 27mpg. My 57, on the other hand, is lucky to get 10. Our Toyota Tundra will burn 87 octane, but it backs the timing way off to do it. That doesn't help mpg on a 5500 lb truck with 400hp. It averages 15, but I can squeeze 20 out of it on long trips.

We have the capacity and ability, just not the political will, to produce all of our own oil. The countries where it's $5-8 a gallon import all of theirs and have no ability to produce domestically. It was the deregulation of oil trading in 1997 that guaranteed we will never see 75¢ a gallon gas again. It used to be that you could not buy or sell oil unless you produced, refined or retailed it. But when Clinton and the sellout Republicans passed the deregulation of the futures, that spelled the end of cheap oil-thus cheap gas. Another one of many reasons I am no longer a Republican. Ben Stein has an interesting piece on the subject and how big companies, like Goldman Sachs which is the largest oil commodities and futures trader in the world, are buying and selling oil like 6 or 8 times before it gets to refiners and 6 or 8 times after refining and eventually to us. These massive gas prices were planned by both parties when they deregulated oil trading.

You give the politicians to much credit, all they know and care about is how much money will be contributed to there campaigns.

 

[mrdc]

Still $3.50ish here!

 

[slice]

I keeps bouncing around from $3.53 (today) to $3.70 around here.

Let me guess, you went a a Mobil or Exxon? The Hess station by me has been hovering right around $3.79 for the last week or so.

 

[darthtang aw]

LOL Mobil in Smithtown... how'd ya know? hahaha

 

[reefraff]

Arm, Leg, what's the difference. Its in the 3.40 range here. I still need to try E 85 in the new truck but it's got to be at least 50 cents a gallon cheaper to make it worth it.

 

[gemmy]

I paid $3.25 and it is full serve.

 

[mantisman51]

$3.47 is the cheapest here, but 90 miles up in Tucson, it's as low as $2.91.

 

[mantisman51]

p.s. My son lives there and told me.

If you move to the map it has gas prices listed by zip code all over the country. Drag to and Zoom in on your area and you can see where the cheap gas is near you.
