My tip for the day: Go fill your tank now!
My tip for the day: Go fill your tank now!
This is
, I know but I just gotta vent.
I've been living in a bubble the last couple of weeks studying for an exam but I finally took it today and passed (yaay). Anyway, after I got back from celebrating, my dad needed a ride to drop his car off at his mechanic's. On the way I noticed that the price of 93 octane was $1.79 ($.10 more than my last fill on Thursday). My dad said that I should get it now (he's ultra-cheap, by the way) so I turn around and get to the pump and guess what? Even though the sign said $1.79, the pump was already at $2.29 for 93 octane.
I settled for 91 octane @ $2.19.
Blackout...yeah right! This is price gouging at it's absolute worst.
Sorry to vent but I just paid more than $17 for 6 gallons of gas and I DON'T live in Cali.

About $1.89 for 91 octace north of Denver. I wish we could get 93. The Colorado octane levels are pretty weak. We have 85; 87; 91. In CA, I think they are mostly 87; 89; 92.

Here in Columbus Ohio, I think we're around 1.97 for 92/93. Was around 1.53 for 89 last weekend. Poor H2 drivers. Anyone seen that Snickers Crunch commerical with the huge SUV? Cracks me up. My brother-in-law has an Escalade, how about $75 per tank? No thanks.
All around me I have 5 foot 5 rednecks with lifted 350's and GMC's on 36 inch swampers , with Fabtech lifts. I used to have a lifted 98 Ranger V6 with a 3 inch Rancho lift, and I was burning 14 mpg. I can only imagine what these guys are spending. I guess thats why you dont see them at the bars or clubs anymore.....

I promise you that this is not true.
$1.81 for premium in northern Maryland/southern Pennsylvania
they said it was related to blackouts & a broken pipeline in Arizona, and the prices will come down after production gets up to speed (not to mention, while importers take advantage of the high prices, flooding the supply a little)
ah well, I'll deal

Get use to it... cuz we're probably gonna have to live w/ these prices for a while, at least 2 months or so before price start to come down according to the link below. Scroll down a little to "Motor gasoline"... http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/steo/pub/contents.html

I'm paying 1.77 a gallon for Chevron 93 octane, and I'm pretty ****ed... It's costing me ALOT more to deliver pizza now than it was say 3 months ago when gas was 1.45 a gallon for 93 octane... In other words if you order pizza for delivery, throw the guy an extra dollar...
