Price of Gas - or Should I buy a Flintstone Mobile?

[dlkksk8fan]

I just paid 3.16 a gallon for gas!!!!!!!!!

 

[iluvtodd]

I paid $2.95 a gallon yesterday (for my Toyota Corolla). At some stations in our area (Philly), the price is $3.19 a gallon today.

$3.19 here, too. And with that, the price of gasoline adjusted for inflation just passed the previous all-time high of $2.94 (in 2005 dollars), achieved in the Reagan administration.

$3.19/gallon here too! :scowl:

 

[Rachael]

It's 3.19 here, too. When I filled up yesterday morning, it was 2.49. hwell:

I just got back from CA, where the prices have been about 30-40 cents higher, historically, then in MO or NY. When I was leaving, the 93 grade was $3.05, only 15 cents higher than what I paid in NY right before I left.

Obviously, the Katrina disaster changed everything. I saw 93 go for $3.19-3.39, and one place (self-service!) was $3.69.

The experts are saying that the Katrinia disaster has nothing to do with it. It's just giving the gas station owners a reason to increase the price of gasoline.

We Canadians were told tonight on the news, that because the gas prices have skyrocketed in the US, we have to raise our prices accordingly to prevent Americans from coming up here and draining our tanks. So we have to pay for protection so to speak - Good one!!!!!!

Seems the companies also fear that american drivers come over to Germany. Our gas prices have reached unknown heights. Rose about 16% in the last two days. Last night I saw 1.42 EUR per litre.

Don't laugh, Detroiters do it all the time, LOL. (Windsor, Ontario, is directly South of Detroit, BTW.)

I filled up yesterday even though i had half a tank because my grandfather was afraid the tanks would run out. $3.14 a gallon. My sister filled up today, $3.60 a gallon, for the lowest grade. My grandfather went to the same gas station about 3 hours later, $3.40 a gallon. Remember when people complained because gas cost $1.80?

In Nova Scotia the prices are the highest in Canada, at 1.13, besides Montreal which is 1.14. (They did a cross-country survey on the radio this morning, I was listening in the car on the way to the rink haha)

In Newfoundland, gas prices today, we are paying 1.49 a litre, that's almost $7.90 a gallon. (Saturday). This is the highest in Canada.

Millie-That's almost beyond my comprehension.

 

[Kara Bear]

it was a $1.39 a litre this weekend in Moncton

Flintstone moblie, that's what I called my Focus last year when I got it beacuse if seemed like it just had no power, compared to my Mustang which I lost due to a car accident (not my fault) or I'd still be driving her. Gas is starting to go down little bit last week it was 2.99 gal wnet to Nashville and it was 3.29 cost me about $48 round trip a tip for saving a bit at the pump don't let your car go empty I fill back up when it's about half it probably equals to the same amount but not a big shocker when it's half. Gas companys wanted gas over the $2 and imo we will never see it below $2 again. I can remember the good ole days when gas was .25 gal dad sent me to get a can of gas with a $1 and I asked for $1 worth and the guy said honey your can won't hold that much hey I was 10

Weird coincidence -- Subaru has a new ad for the Outback where it passes up SUVs powered by feet. Guess we're supposed to believe anything else is "prehistoric." Flintstones rule!
