Gas Prices
Went up 30c overnight here. Is it 9/11 related?
no change here - still around $2.55.
was 2.65 yesterday evening -down 9c from earlier in the week, then 2.95 today. WTF?
Maybe they're trying to fleece the U of M fans driving to the Notre Dame game....
Maybe worried about a Koran burning, setting off a disruption.
I don't care... I burned a copy of the Koran yesterday.;)
On our vacation, the most we paid for gas in Utah was 3.38 and it was never under 3.00 for the whole trip, couple days later, we were back in Virginia paying 2.38.
Apparently the gas price hike was semi-local and caused by a break in a pipeline in Illinois
Well, it took me some time to convert every thing from gallon to liter an then USD to Euros.
Gas in the US costs around .50 EUR/liter.
Here in France, we're well over 1.20 EUR/liter for unleaded gas. Diesel is around 1.10 EUR/Liter
....and it's tripled since I moved here from the UK ten years ago. When we first got here, it was under a dollar a gallon -unbelievable.
Here's what I could find. I didn't realize it was that bad.
Last thurs or fri it $2.31 in south jersey. Now it's $2.37.
Come guys, when I started driving the gas was $ 0.25 per gal.
Cigarettes were $ 0.25 per pack
I think if you plot the price of gas against the price of cigarettes you get a straight line.
Gulftane was 18.9, and cigarettes 22cents, a quarter in a machine with three pennies in each pack.
I remember when gas, pop and cigs were 50 cents.
Regular here is right around $2.65, give or take a few cents. Three days ago, $2.49. I can remember when gas was $.49 a gallon. I quit smoking (cigarettes, anyway, Winston Reds) when the cashier said "That'll be $1.03." I said "No way am I paying over a dollar for a pack of smokes." And I quit, right there.
$2.659 at the Wawa on my way into work.
Try to comfort yourselves by knowing that the US is still one of the cheapest places in the world (outside of the Middle East) to buy gasoline - or any other fuel for that matter. It's f*@!kin' ridiculous here!
Fortunately, thanks to recent changes in how I pass my days I now drive many, many fewer miles than I have in my whole adult life.
Gas is $2.40 here...
My wife's care gets 36 mpg. So I don't care if it goest to $5 a gallon.
I wonder how much care Merc's wife needs...
just sayin'
Blame Bush...
I do.

At the price I paid today it works out at $7.96 a gallon - though our gallons are a bit bigger than yours.
Actually, US gallons (3.785 litres) are quite a bit smaller than I thought, ours are 4.546 litres so I only paid about $6.64 a gallon.

What do you drive? Can you provide pictures? (I'm always interested in cars around the world.)
And how far do you drive it; commute, to the store etc.
My truck takes regular, current prices are $2.40 a gal
My wife's Mini Cooper takes high test, filled up today at $2.96 a gal, ouch, but hey at 36 mpg, no biggy and it only holds 15 gal.
High test? Is it a time machine?
$2.90 is the lowest here (South-Central KY), I think.
I found it for 98 cents cash, if you wash a few dishes and sweep the parking lot!
Not really. What does 'cash' have to do with it, legally?
I've been filling up my tank every time I see it under 3 bucks. And it's been happening often in the last couple weeks. Too bad we can't keep a giant gas tank like a propane (and propane accessories) monstrosity tank on our property without express written consent.
paid $2.88 Weds.
Has this got to do with the
Rockefeller move?
No it's world oversupply as North Dakota and Iraq and Iran and Syria and everyone is delivering more oil.
I got gas last night for $2.85!

So you got two tacos and a chili-cheese burrito from Taco Bell?
Driving the price of gas down so the conservative base, who never got/took anything from the government like those welfare queens, and are living on Social Security & Medicare, can afford to drive to the polls next month. :rolleyes:

This was a Murphy's (Did you know Murphy's is owned by Wal-Mart?).
As I was posting this, Popdigr says the Minit Mart has $2.05 on their sign today.
I paid 1.97 this morning. I did a genuine double take at the display.
I filled the minivan for $30 yesterday. awesome.

Wow!
I filled up for the first time since my oil change in early November. $30. Gas was $2.399/gal.
Apparently Gov Corbett's legacy has started. He all but gave away the fracking gas for free. Receiving massive campaign contributions from that industry. He massively cut spending to schools and transportation. And now has done what is expected. Gasoline taxes must increase by a total of $0.28 per gallon. He did so in a manner that all but the most informed would not notice. And intentionally delayed tax increases for half a year so that increases occur after elections.
Tonight Exxon in New Jersey is $2.199 per gallon. Exxon in Pennsylvania has increased this week to $2.689 per gallon. The entire 28 cent increase has not yet been imposed. So future PA prices will increase.
GrandCherokeeOne was running on fumes yesterday evening.
Filled it up for $31 even. $1.999 per.
:jig:
Why the consistent bump up on Wednesdays? Is that the day most people fill up their tank? Or the last day before the weekly delivery from the gas truck? Or what?
I don't know why. figures though. that's my day off, so I'm more likely to buy it that day, on the way out to see the kids. fuckery.
tweren't on fumes then
My fuel level indication system doesn't indicate. Fixed it once, ain't fixing it again. When I put gas in, I look at gallons, multiply that times 15 mpg (call it 15, avg) and get range.
I was 17 miles past "Holy shit, man, put gas in the Jeep!" stage. When the math runs out, that's fumes.
Gravdigr don't run outta gas.
a wise policy. your fuel pump may be inside the tank and fuel cooled....and at the least, you don't want to get so low that all the goo and detritus at the bottom of your tank gets into your fuel lines.
I was just remarking that if you topped it of with $31 at eff. $2/gal, that's only 15.5 gallons. The 93-98 ZJ Grand Cherokee held 23 gallons. 99 on up it's 20.5
I always panic when my gas light comes on because the gauge looks so low, but you're supposed to have 25-50 miles left in the tank when that comes on. The MOST I've put in the Commander at one time is 17.4 gallons. It's built on the same platform as the 06 Gr Cherokee. Says it has a 20.5 gallon tank as well..... I think I'm better off thinkink it has 17.5 in my head.
The car we sold when we left the UK had a fucked up fuel indicator too. gave up trying to assplain to the people who bought it, they got a steal anyway -we were flying the next day
I once completely ran out of gas, and the car died in the middle of a small highway. I was never in any danger, just pulled onto the shoulder as it coasted to a stop. But it was embarrassing and super annoying. Ever since then, I get a tiny jolt of panic every time I see the gas light come on.
Hebe is paranoid about the car running out of gas, but not sure why, we never have. ...Well, we did run it on fumes/gas light for 30 miles in the UP with no idea where a gas station was ...when she was driving. :o But I'm sure it's not that

I'm not entirely sure that GCOne has a 23 gal tank, but, I won't argue with someone who sounds like they know.
But, I
will get the manual out, and look.;)
[ATTACH]49997[/ATTACH]
ETA: Well, whaddya know...23.0 gallons.
I'll never doubt you again, good Sir Jim.
I was doubtful mainly because
this has happened, more times than is manly to admit, and I don't think either of us has ever put more than 20 gallons in the tank.
[ATTACH]49998[/ATTACH]
Ah, well, [Strike]live[/Strike] visit teh Cellar, and learn.
Maybe there's a beach ball in mah tank?
Heheheh....
Now Popdigr's arguing with Jim, too. Vehemently.
Shown the manual, he's still not buying it.
:lol2:
