Right now it's

$2.95 for 87 Octane
$3.05 for 89
$3.15 for 92

Well, this is at the gas station closest to my house. I usually go by those prices. It's a Chevron. I'll try find an article in the local newspaper about the results of the gas cap.

I dont think gas cap prices are going to help. All it will do is make the shortage of gas even worse.

They should institute rationing.

Man, your gas is still dirt cheap. You are only paying the economic costs (maybe), but there are other hidden costs that should be covered by taxes.

PEI has controls on gas prices. Wholesalers are refusing to ship to PEI.

No idea how much gas costs here, but the bus has been getting slightly more crowded.

In the bay area? $3 a gallon.

one litre will go for 1.50 euros soon in here.. about tomorrow or day over tomorrow.

LOL!

****!

So, multiply that with 3.8 to get gallons, that's 5.7 outstanding euros per gallon. To dollars, that is..

little over 7 bucks a gallon! TADAAA!!!



And it's normally at 1.3 anyway so it's not like this is huge difference. DAmn it...

ah, but the rest of you continentals forget that for the past 4 years Hawaii has been paying the most on average for gas than anyone else.

Ah, one more reason why I gotta get the hell out of Dodge.

your prices aren't much more higher than ours. Our 3 states (Hawaii, California, and Nevada) have the highest gas prices in the nation. So don't act like you are alone. I'll laugh when you are stationed at Edwards airforce base and pay the same amount for gasoline.

I for one am finally glad we get our gas from California. I used to think we should get it from Arizona (who get's theirs from the gulf). Arizona gas is cheaper than in Nevada. But I think our gas supply should be in good shape because it comes from California. Your gas probably comes from Californian refineries as well. Be thankful.

You've been keeping up to date with what I'm doing! Solid. I have new respect for Dis.


But from what I've heard, our oil comes from Alaska and SE Asia, then is refined instate.

Ok, anyone who complains about gas prices should look at the HI, CA, NV Triad. But I'm hoping I'll be stationed somewhere in a foreign country with the Aussie ladies.

yeah that makes more sense. As it would be very dangerous transporting gasoline (although I'd imagine that's what has to be done for very small pacific islands). It makes more sense to have refineries in state.

and you'd have to lobby for an air force base in Australia.

But I really like Aussie girls. They are VERRRY underrated, IMHO.

Damn, knowing my luck I'll be based in Romania and talking with some girl called Griselda....with armpit hair longer than mine.

If an increase of $.50 a gallon has a large impact on your life you are either burning way too much gas, or earning way too little money. Probably both.

[KrazyHorse]

It's going to cost me ~2$ a week extra.

Plus 10-15$ extra to drive back to Baltimore from Montreal

Just to bump this gas thread
Seems over 2/3rds of the gas companies have been gouging the eyes of the public. Raising prices to make a pretty penny of a ****ing tragedy because they can. I wondered why gas prices went from 3.oo to 2.79 in one day again
