I've never seen gas prices so high up before! It's up to $2.219 /gallon for regular at my local Hess!! :paranoid: I won't see it coming back down to $1.299/gallon again at this rate. :thumbsdow

$2.25 here I think.

i'm going with the 2.21-2.40.... it's somewhere around 2.25 like stevel said here. in pgh, it's probably about the same. it was 2.23 to 2.25 when i left last friday depending on the gas station.

Since I'm not the one that puts it in, I'll have to look when I'm out later...

last I knew it was in the 2.50+ range.

What's shocking is the gas prices were just $2.06 a month ago. Now it's up to $2.30 in some areas. :thumbsdow

oil man, its all about oil.

oil was at $ 48 a month ago, it was $ 62 yesterday.

$1.99 regular in new jersey.

$2.51, and that's the CHEAP parts of town alright?! Chevron on the corner of 19th/JS/James Lick Fwy is at $2.89/gal for 87, they were up to $3.39 for regular at one point :thumbsdow

Last tank - paid $2.319 @ Costco in Vacaville, CA on the way home from Redding, CA last Tuesday, July 5th.

$2.359 @ Pilot Gas Station, Dunnigan, CA - July 1st
$2.299 @ Costco, Sunnyvale, CA - June 26th
$2.229 @ Costco, Tracy, CA - June 12th (best $$ per gal since I bought my Accord)
$2.239 @ Costco, Sunnyvale, CA - June 10th

Glad my 7 tank AVG is 27.7 MPG (80% city / 20% Highway)

Chevron for 2.55 regular.... it was about 45 bucks to fill the Pilot this morning!

WOW $3.39. That is really high. I just filled up over the weekend for $2.25

Yeah, some guy on the radio said he paid $100 to fill up his X5 tank. Had to laugh at that fool lol, his tank is only 24.6 gallons, you do the math and tell me how much he paid per gallon in order for him to be telling the truth.

We plan a few boating trips & it's got a 30 gal tank....

We don't usually fill it up at home so it's not as heavy for towing.... so we'll be paying prices closer to the areas we'll be going. For day trips, Valley Springs... when we use Hogan's Res. For Shasta, Lakehead. We don't usually fill it in the water since they add about .50 per gallon. We launch daily, so we fill it on the way each morning. So empty & getting close to 3 dollars per gallon..... that's getting way close to 100!! The first tank will be the worst one... we store it near empty or near full only. Usually near empty.

Prices were worse a few months back.... they've settle into a slower rise for the Summer. They always jump in the Spring. Then we all take our vacations anyway.... & prove AAA people wrong! We ARE still driving! What a shock! :paranoid: We like to drive! Most of us will eat at cheaper places en route to still drive to where we want to go. I wonder if they've done a study (for billions, of course) on the fast food profits when gas prices are higher.... :dunno:

So share those fries & away we goooooo........ :nuts:

$2.55 at the BP where I usually fill up, I think I saw it for $2.49 at another station near me. D@mn NYC area prices. :paranoid:

The weirdest thing is that Shell and Chevron are the absolute cheapest stations around here. There's 4 of them within about a mile and they are at rock bottom prices, they're even cheaper than Costco gas when I factor in the 5% I get back from Citibank. They even undercut every independent station!

Even the Arco next to Crispy Creame? Costco is 7-10 cents cheaper, but if you factor in 5%, you are right the majors are cheaper. Gee, the most I've seen the Cheveron @280 & 19th was $3.19. It really doesn't matter as a few cents either way isn't gonna really matter if gas is over $3.00. BTW, how does that Citi card 5% deal work? Might be worth looking into...Thanks.

Here's the site I came up with. The addy seems kinda long...if it doesn't work, just go to www.citicards.com and look for the Dividend Platinum card.

I think you may be right about that Chevron, I think I was looking at premium hehehe

Wow! The prices just went up another $.04/ gallon of regular. Now, it's up to $2.259 /gallon for the cheapest (good) gas station. At this rate, it'll be over $2.50 by august and over $3.00 by the end of september! :paranoid:

I was hoping the gas prices would dip a little in the very near future. Taking a family trip to Orlando the end of October and the plane tickets are about 2.5 times what we paid when we went in October of 2002.

$2.09 in Okmulgee where I live,, $2.05 in Tulsa. The Dems where/are pushing for a increase in fuel tax. Bet they dont get it now. LMAO

If this passes I'm gonna make it my life goal to give the Dem party a hard time :D

just today I noticed since I first posted $2.25, it's now $2.37 all of the sudden. :(

First of all - since we've been married (Oct. '71), ... we've paid off our 1st and presently owned Credit Cards with each monthly statement, ... so, ... since 1975, our Credit Rating = AAA!!!

We shop @ Costco allot so we have the Executive Card.

The Executive Card Members enjoy an annual 2% Reward on most Costco purchases, as well as additional values on member services.

Last annual check from Costco was around $145.00 (or more ? - my wife gets those checks :yes: )

>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

There was no cost getting their American Express TrueEarnings Card and once Sunnyvale and Santa Clara Gas Pumps were modified to only use their American Express card - getting that was a no-brainer.

With the TrueEarnings Card from Costco and American Express you can earn a full 3% cash back at any restaurant, even for takeout or delivery. And every other time you use the TrueEarnings Card you can earn 1% cash back, including at Costco.

TrueEarnings Card from Costco and American Express - Year To Date

Qualified................ Spend $...............Cash Rebate $
Eating Out............. $589.99 @3%.... $17.70
Traveling................ $458.05 @2%... $9.16
Everywhere Else.. $2,661.45 @1%. $26.62
==================================
Total...................... $3,709.49.............. $53.48

Last check we received from AMEX was around $95.00 (or more ? - my wife gets those checks :yes: )

Now, for other on-line purchases, ... I like to use eBates and by using their affiliates, I get Rebates** @ Palm 4%; HP Home HP Shopping 2%; 123Inkjets 10%; 1-800-FLOWERS 6%; Best Buy 1%; Circuit City 2%; etc. eBates will send me a check, once every 3-months, ... if my Rebates Balance is over $5.00.

Last 05/15/2005, eBates Mailed me $14.76

Total Cash Back since I joined eBates (around Oct. 2002) = $161.60

**Some of my eBates electronic/ computer purchases includes an additional $10; $15 or $20 MFG. Rebates. My last 256MB Secure Digital Card costs me around $6.50 after all the above (eBates & MFG.) rebates!!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I put all those on-line purchases on my Cash Back Discover Card.

My Cash Back Bonus Summary:
Current Balance $ 78.96
Available to Redeem $ 60.00

So, our entire purchasing process deals includes some form of Cash Back or Rebate program! Gotta' stretch our money, especially so since we live in one of the highest cost-of-living area in Silicon Valley!!!

Using Costco gas is just part of our Cash Back / Rebate scheme!

Saving and stretching our cash since the mid 70's enabled us to pay cash for my 2005 Accord!!! :thumbsup: (Paid cash for our 1993 Accord LX Sedan also - the 2004 Pilot EX-L w/NAV is my wifes Realestate business deduction so we just put down $10k and got a loan for the rest @ our Santa Clara County Federal Credit Union)

:yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

Since I first posted, the gas prices jumped to an average of $2.59/ gallon!! That's almost two "gas price brackets"! :eek:

The other day gas started at 2.73, to day at the same station it's 2.63....weird!!

Love to see that happen around here! Costco price was $2.639 last Saturday!

$2.39 in NJ. Much higher in NY.

Hey! Boston's actually catching up to Cali?! Either you're getting a great deal or we're getting shafted on the gas prices. ;)

Cali's always been about $0.30+ more expensive than Boston.

2.699 Columbus OH!!!!!!!!!!!!! :censored: :headbash:

Let's all be glad we're not in Europe :)

I talked to my Dad this weekend (he lives in England), and he said that gas there has just hit the 5UKP per imperial gallon, which works out as follows:

1UKP = 1.81144USD today, and an imperial gallon is 1.25 US gallons, therefore 5UKP = 9.0572USD per imp gallon and...

$7.25 per US gallon :censored:

IMOL

News this morning reported the national average at $2.50. Two stations here are $2.39 and $2.54 across the street from each other.

Glad I moved last year to cut down on the miles we drive, especially with 4 vehicle and 4 drivers.

I did not vote in the poll as it does not reflect the time period of the results and is thus not very meaningful.

I talked to my Dad this weekend (he lives in England), and he said that gas there has just hit the 5UKP per imperial gallon, which works out as $7.25 per US gallon

Can you think of any reason WHY the U.S. is so priveleged to have an unrationed supply of the cheapest gas in world? Is this really a good thing?

I think the costs of the gasoline are very similar, it's just that European governments TAX the heck out of it. If I remember correctly, the UK government taxes on gasoline are about 75%.

All I know is, I'm really glad I don't have to pay that much for gasoline any more :) I spent too many years driving very small European cars on very narrow roads, having to pay to park to go shopping and paying too much for gas.

...ok, I'll make you all feel a little better, here in BC, in the 'great white north', we're paying close to $4.00 canadian for a gallon...the price right now here in Victoria is $1.04 per litre, which works out to around $3.80 per US gallon...and they're saying it could hit $1.50 per litre before the end of summer!! Now you know why I take all my vacations south of the border, as a matter of fact I've already got my second road trip planned for the new EX-L, going to head south to Monterey in mid September, stay there for several days and then head over to Yosemite for a few more days before we work our way back north to stay a while in Portland Oregon where I grew up...sometimes the cost of things up here really makes me more than a bit homesick for the good ol' US of A, but my wife is a born and raised Victorian who can't stand to be that far away from mom and dad - but I'm workin' on her...maybe a couple more years, she always waits 'til we get down before she does any serious shopping, so she is getting accustomed to US ways...
...anyway, when you compare what some folks are paying in other parts of the world, US gas prices are still a lot better than in many other places.

Heard about the following website on KGO Radio this morning ...

Gasbuddy.com - Real-Time Gas Price INFO (http://www.gasbuddy.com/)

Main City US and Canada locations, ... though smaller city areas are not included like my 94043 area code location. Typing in my zip code brings up the San Jose Gas Station locations where the lowest per Gal = $2.59 @ Arco 1256 E Julian St.

Anyway, get the "Lowest Regular Gas Prices in the Last 60 Hours" for Regular Gas and Diesel Fuel from this website!

Phil

That site is good, but the biggest problem with it is the prices are reported by consumers. Most of the time, there aren't enough people reporting or the places with the lowest prices aren't reported. :dunno: There's a Hess station around where I work that usually has the lowest prices around but I don't usually see it reported on that site. Maybe once a week it'll be on there. :dunno:

Still waiting for a site that provides realtime gas price info for each gas station... :thmsup:

Wish there was a standard for reporting gas prices. Each gas station should be made to report to a database so that consumers can price shop.

Today in KC we went up another 10 cents to $2.55 a gallon for regular.

:headbash: I paid $2.78 today but I had to drive for it. The Amoco by work was $2.89 for Regular!!!!

$2.55 today for REGULAR.

This sucks....................... :thumbsdow

It's been between $2.60 and $2.65 here all this week. I think I'll cry when it's time to refill my tank.

Just hit my all-time high on Saturday... $33.xx for 13.50 gallons of regular! :eek: My previous high was $31. At this rate, I'm going to start paying more for gas per month than my car insurance payments soon..... Actually, I think that's already happening! :(

I just paid $2.73 for regular this morning and that is low around here. I've been following the crude oil prices in the commodities market and we should expect a nice drop in gas prices in about a week or so. I'm thinking it will be around 10-15 cents a gallon or more. How long will it last is the real question.

Bear in mind that much of the price of gas these days is as a result of non-price of oil related stuff, such as non-petroleum additives and taxes.

Chevron at JS/19th split $3.19 regular, $3.25 mid, $3.29 premium.

OUCH!!! :eek: :thumbsdow

I've been afraid to look again!!! :paranoid:

$2.50pg. around Tulsa metro. And the democrats have been wanting to raise fuel tax here to make up for tax they already misuse and abuse. Dont think there going to get it. So watch you news. Bridges will be falling in Oklahoma. Now if the politians and burocrats where just under them.

Just filled up yesterday for $2.69 a gallon :thumbsdow

Seems like gas prices are one of our favorite topics as of late... :)

Since the beginning of this poll (7/7/05), the prices went up by 79 cents to $3.00/gallon.. That's a 35% increase in 5 weeks! :eek: I don't think it's going to stop there either! :thumbsdow

If this keeps up, I gotta say :wave: to my Accord and get one of these (http://www.yamahagolfcar.com/products/unitinfo/3/tmx/1022/19/yamaha_g-max_4-pass_gas_transportation_vehicle.aspx) ! :lmao:

Cool a family size one!!! :lmao:

As of today....the stations I saw when out & about....

USA gas 2.99 & up
Exxon 3.15 & up
Chevron 3.15 & up
Valero 3.13 & up

It looks like the west isn't going up as fast as the east....you have caught up with us though!!

Someone should reset the poll and adjust it accordingly.

Who can do that????

I dunno?

I don't think I could reset the poll.. I tried editing another one and never found the option... :blah: Maybe it could be an upgrade Ward could do in the near future... :D

Right now I'm paying more/gallon than Cali?! :scratch: It's up to $3.29 average for regular! :eek: When will this madness stop?! I "filled up" with 12.5 gallons this morning for a total of $41.50! Before, I had problems trying to get up to $30.. Now $40+/ fill up seems so easy.

We have not had a significant spike. Over 2 nights when Katrina hit, it spiked from ~$2.75 to $2.98 and has held constant ever since. All our refineries seem to be working okay.

On the Hawaii trip we were paying just under & over 4 bucks per gallon!! They took off the tax before we left & it went down to 3 and a half.... I haven't looked here since we got back.
