Has Gas hit $3 a gallon by you yet?

[bigblu89]

Super is $3.05 9/10 at some stations here on Long Island, and up to $3.19 9/10 in certain parts of queens.

Madness.

[abcdefz]

I saw my first $3/gallon station yesterday. It was for supreme, but still....

[wanton wench]

local gas station (http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a195/wantonwench/gas.jpg)

[Dr Deaf]

$2.90 a gallon for mid grade in FL.
$1.00 a litre in ontario

1 USG = 3.785

[enree erzweglle]

Yesterday it was still $2.87 for premium here.

I have to fill my car up maybe 4-6 times a year but I'm still starting to eye up those gas stations that are associated with grocery stores.

[TonsOfFun]

91.9p per litre.

I'm sure that'll be more than $5 a gallon, so you yanks should really shut ya yap.

I'll work it out.

ok, I'm back:

I work it to be nearly $8 a gallon. I think they should equalise petrol throughout the world so we all pay the same

:confused:

[redhead]

I just spent a 1/2 hour at the gas station to fill up...the lines were crazy. We all wanted to get the "bargain" price of $1.10 per litre before it goes up to $1.32/litre at noon. Craziness...

[enree erzweglle]

:confused:
I don't drive my car too often.

[CJM]

it's been 112.9-114.9/L here for a few weeks now. it's retarted that it's starting to cost so much.

[Qdrop]

it's about 2.75/gallon in rochester....but it's expect to hit close to $3 by this week or next...and probably keep climbing....

i got a little honda civic with good fuel efficiency...so it doesn't hit me too hard there...

where it kills me is gas heat for my house. they are predicting recored highs for home gas heat this year.

i'm gonna have to be a heat nazi this winter and keep it at 65º and shit....seal all the windows.


FOR THE LOVE OF GOD....WE NEED HYRDROGEN FUEL....PLEASE, TECHNOLOGY....HELP US OUT!!

[enree erzweglle]

65--luxury.

I keep the thermostat set well below 65 and then use a space heater in the living room (with the doors to the living room closed). I don't particularly mind sleeping in the cold so I don't use a space heater in the bedroom. I have one in the bathroom.

That approach saved quite a bit of money. (Because keeping the furnace at 60 brought in a heating bill for one month that was $500 two winters ago.)

Once November comes, I usually don't really warm up until March.

[ToucanSpam]

This morning here it hit $1.29 a litre.


Fuck driving.

[CJM]

shitty. i know it's gonna exceed that here definately. having the largest refinaery on the east coast of north america (i think) definately doesn't help with the gas prices. i think it makes them even higher.

[beastieangel01]

2.97, very close. And I'm in the ghetto neighborhood so it tends to be cheaper. It's probably 3 bucks now about 15 minutes north of me.

[Abe Froman]

With one oil company hitting 35 percent profit last year, I hope they will be able to ride out every single thing that happens in the world. I swear they use all of the exuces as if the industry hangs on threads.

it's a fuckin scam...

these current prices will NEVER fall....ever.

the days of cheap or cheaper gas are gone forever....

and there is nothing we can do about ....except move to a new fuel source.

[beastieangel01]

I hope to God I move in to student housing. I will barely have to rely on my car that way since I will be ON a public transit system to go to work (which is the only way it is any good to anyone).

And most likely, I will only use the car to go grocery shopping since it will carry all the stuff. The school is a mile away from the housing, so I think I'll probably just ride a bike.

[Abe Froman]

Hard when that 35 percent profit goes to whispering in the ear of our political leaders. Take the current transportation bill for example.

[CJM]

gas went up here today from 112.9 to between 120.9 and 129.9............ouch

Heat is one thing I don't scimp on. It's too important to me to go home and be comfy without bundling up.

Of course, I don't heat an entire house, either, so...

[QueenAdrock]

Wayne told me yesterday to horde as much as I could because of Katrina disrupting oil supplies. So I filled up at $2.69, and today it's $2.99.

It may just be cheaper for me to start taking the metro to school, but that would add an extra hour on to my commute. (n)

[Rock]

a friend sent this to me today.

"Hey Guys - Just in case you weren't paying attention... The new gas coming into the area is over three dollars a gallon. So if you haven't filled your tank up yet you should do so tonight! I felt like a total redneck taking all my gas cans and my jeep up to Sheetz monday night to snag almost 100 gallons of gas a $2.42 a gallon... I feel a bit better about it as I drove by Sheetz today and the new prices were $3.09 to $3.29 for gas :-("

That sheetz was the cheapest gas station I know of around these here parts (and its not even that close to my house/work) I'm too scared to look out my window to see what the Exxon across the street is charging now.

It's a nice toasty 68 in the room with the space heater. But it is VERY hard to go outside of that room to get to the bedroom. There's about a 10-15 degree differential between the two rooms.

And I don't care--being in a 55-degree room in the Springis heaven but the same room at 55-degrees in the Winter is torture. I shiver. My back never really warms up. I take a lot of hot baths and showers between November and March.

And I am more and more looking forward to living in a warmer climate. I promised a friend that I'd do that in a few years and these heating bills are making me not regret that decision in the least.

[hardnox71]

I honestly don't know. I don't drive so I don't pay attention to the gas prices.

[GetYourWarOn]

i walked to work today.

[monkey]

buses :D
subways :)

lirr :(
car :mad:

i dont like driving much. but if my dad buys me a minicoop, i'll drive it :p

[ScarySquirrel]

Gas prices are $3.19 a gallon right around me right now. This is insane. I might have to make my only trips to and from work and do the whole walking and bus thing. Luckily for me they just expanded the bus system from downtown Grand Rapids to the little suburb area that I live in, so it definitely might be worth looking into.

[enree erzweglle]

I'm taking a walk soon that'll pass me right by two gas stations. After reading these posts and the CNN stories, I'll be afraid to look. Like I'll stand there and half-look out of the corner of my eye.

It's the winter fuel costs that worries me the most. I don't have much of a choice but to cut back to as low as I can go without freezing the pipes (either that or sell the house, which I also can't do right now). It's going to be a brrrrrrrrrrisk winter.

[HEIRESS]

ahahaha lately everyone has been all WHOOO FUCK CARZ NEVER GET YOUR LICENCE YER SMART AIRESSE ahahahahahah a aha ahaaaaaaaaa ha ahahaaha aha aha aha aha haa ha aha hahahah ahahhhaha

[SobaViolence]

this is my new excuse for letting my liscence expire.

[cookiepuss]

so ah, my idea for a car that runs on poo is looking pretty good right about now huh? ;)

[ToucanSpam]

you spell like poo. :mad:


Actually a car running on poo would solve many problems.

[QueenAdrock]

You can buy a kit online somewhere to have your engine run off of french fry grease. You can get it installed by a professional for relatively cheap, too. And you'll smell deliciously of french fries when you get to work.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that only applies to people who have a diesel engine. Those of us who run on regular gasoline are shit out of luck.

Word?

[QueenAdrock]

I have no idea. I was only half-paying attention in soils class.

SHUT YOUR STINKIN' TRAP, ADAM :mad:

PS My AST buddy left me to go to a bar and now I'm all alone. :(

[ScarySquirrel]

She sounded extremely cute.

[Yes Im Chad]

I used to have a bmw then sold it and just bought a new trans am. Shit $60 to fill up

[QueenAdrock]

She sounded extremely cute.

She's on my facebook. She's the Katie under my UMD friends.

I'd do her.

[ScarySquirrel]

But you can't really see their faces up close unless you have them as a friend and can view their profile. Nevertheless, I'm going to be creepy and check her out anyway...

[QueenAdrock]

do it, you totally can't see her grotesque scarring if she's just a wee little picture.

[sheesh]

One station in Atlanta was selling for over $5.00/gallon today. :mad: Scam, panic, scam, panic, scam, panic, etc.

[Rock]

I went to a gas station to get some smokes and the lines were horrific....it was like lining up to a popular club or some shit. We all need to go on Willie Nelson's alternative fuel system. http://www.wnbiodiesel.com/

[avignon]

$3.09 for regular $3.29 for premium


And there is no efficent public transportation here. It would take around two hours for me to get to work by bus and I that is if they even run that late at night. I don't think they do. (n)

[Bitchamachacha]

Yeah.

I saw a sign this morning that had regular listed for $2.99. The premium ones were left blank. I can only imagine.

[ericlee]

60 fils for one litre. It's about 43 cents

[JBernas]

by my house this morning

3.29 (87)
3.34 (89)
3.41 (93)

Cost me $50 to fill up my car this morning and I commute like hell (fill up 2x/week). I'll be looking for a job closer to home :(

[Hiebz]

damn, I'm feeling better and better about leaving my Insight Hybrid for my parents to use! when I left the U.S. it was 1.60/gallon or something to fill the 10 gallon tank (15-20 dollars), and I got anywhere from 400 to 560miles on it.

now, it will only be around 30 something to fill it up it seems

[bigblu89]

Yeah, It's way past $3 here in NY now. Cheapest is about $3.20 on LI, and it's alsmot $4 in Queens.

Taking the train to work would take me 2 hours, as opposed to 45 minutes to drive, but if it gets to $5, it's gonna be worth it.

[kll]

I'm annoyed with the gas prices in this area. Here is an area that is all mountains and hills and snows 7 months out of the year. Most people need SUV's and/or 4 wheel drive vehicles out of necessity, not being a soccer mom in the city wanting to look cool. The gas prices are $3.55/regular unleaded. It's bullshit.

[TurdBerglar]

all you assholes with your cars. hahahahaha

[bigblu89]

Yeah, some of us have jobs a little further away than our corner grocery store, Mr. Paper or Plastic.

[beastiegirrl101]

$3.67 a gallon here.

[TurdBerglar]

Yeah, some of us have jobs a little further away than our corner grocery store, Mr. Paper or Plastic.


HEY. i stock the fuckn' shelves, buddy

[enree erzweglle]

Turd, do you get snow/ice in the winter where you live? IF so, how do they they handle that wrt bike lanes (if there are bike lanes where you are)...

Here, the snow tends to get piled into whatever bike lanes we do have. Makes it hard to bike in the winter. Also, with the hills, a ride one way is okay but the other way--down--is pretty scary in the winter on ice.

I wonder if other cities appreciate their bikers more and give them a clean surface even in the winter. (Here, they barely clear the roads now for cars. Our city is a City Under Distress and one of the first things to go was snow removal.)

[Qdrop]

HYRDOGEN POWER!

NUCLEAR POWER!

[SobaViolence]

wind power?

[Qdrop]

ANYTHING BUT OIL!

[ToucanSpam]

Solar powered cars look cool.

[DJTrey313]

I've seen it around some areas in Cali

[Chicka B]

Where I live, I saw one that was $2.99 so I guess you could say so. :eek:

[zorra_chiflada]

here it's about $1.50 a litre.
that would be about $6 a gallon.

bike lines

hahaha



i don't rely on my bike for transportation. i just do it becuase i enjoy it. i use public transportation

[HotAndWet]

Tonight when I got out of work I was shocked-a few hours before when I was on break the prices were like 2.99 and such and now it's like 3.50 or more, wtf? I thought it at least took a day to change gas prices....scary.

[jabumbo]

i saw gas for $2.50 a gallon on monday


i saw it today for $2.99 at the same places


granted, i know its been rising a lot, but thats a helluva jump in just a couple days

[QueenAdrock]

wind power?


We saw these (http://photobucket.com/albums/v131/QueenAdrock1/Travel/?action=view&current=windmills.jpg) on the way to Chicago. Somewhere in Pennsylvania. They were sweet.

[racer5.0stang]

Here it varies on which side of the highway you are on.

Anywhere from 2.99 to 3.49 per gallon

[QueenAdrock]

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/01/AR2005090101072.html
Pump prices rose to just under $6 a gallon at some retail outlets in the south. CNN showed footage of a gas station in Georgia advertising regular gas for $5.87 a gallon

According to GasPriceWatch.com, which tracks retail gas prices around the country using volunteers, average gas prices in the United States were just under $3 a gallon. Gas topped $3 a gallon Wednesday in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Wisconsin, Georgia and Minnesota, according to GasPriceWatch.com.

In the Washington metropolitan area, gas prices rose a nickel a gallon to an average of $2.73 for self-serve regular, according to the American Automobile Association.

Yeah, I'm surprised that we didn't get slammed here. Maybe because most of the politicians live around D.C. and refused to pay more. Who knows.

[jabumbo]

would i still be correct in saying that the price of crude oil per barrell hasn't actually changed that much to make these large jump seem like it should be happaning?

[marsdaddy]

Gas has been pretty close to $3 in San Francisco, California for the past few months. I think we're cheap now, compared to the rest of the country. I saw it for $2.95 earlier today -- sure to go up tomorrow.

But still, it's so much cheaper than Europe and GB.

[Medellia]

Yes. It has officially reached $3 now. I'm so glad I don't drive. Yeesh.

[enree erzweglle]

$3.18
$3.39
$3.59

[Medellia]

Regular gas in Tulsa, OK: $2.99-3.25

[steve-onpoint]

Mother Earth is sick, ma phriends. :(

She's healing herself. :o

[p-branez]

i bought for 2.99 today and was actually happy.

it was 3.49 when i was up north yesterday.
