Northeastern Arizona. I paid $2.65 at ten this morning when the "media" started screaming that everyone needed to raise their gas prices to help out and start gouging Americans. A few hours later, THAT SAME GAS went up to $3.00 a gallon. I'm polishing my bullets this evening. Most of my neighbors are doing the same. I couldn't find any "happy campers" this afternoon.
Seriously, price jumped about $.40. No rationing as far as I have heard and no long lines at the pumps this evening.
Some people went out and filled up. I topped the tank off on Sunday and I usually get about two and a half weeks to a tank so I chose not to join the mass hysteria.
And that is the latest from Western Michigan.
Baltimore MD:
Tuesday Morning: Regular @ $2.63/Gal
Wednesday Evening: Regular @ $3.03/Gal
NE Ohio- regular unleaded universally $3.09
Well, you know which one made the nightly news.
I swear, they are flaming a panic.
For one thing, gas is now delivered in armored tankers, with names like Wells Fargo and Brinx.
I took an arm and a leg from a mannequin to buy gas today. The girl there wasn't thrilled.
LOL! I bought a V6 1994 Corsica new ($12000) . A great car. Just got rid of it after 185,000 miles. Still had the original exhaust. Only downside was five alternators replaced. Small price to pay. Best American car I ever owned.
$2.79 in Olive Branch MS. Up 50 cents since this morning when I filled up my pickup. Filled up the wife's car this afternoon and Kroger was flooded with buyers.
We both have Nissan 2.5 liters.
Regular went up 28 Cents a gallon over night to $3.26 a gallon and I live in EUREKA CALIFORNIA. What the hell is going on????
People looking at paying 30 or 40 zops for less than a full tank will start conveniently 'forgetting to pay'and just kinda drive off.
A co-worker got a call from her son in New York. He says when he went to work this morning, gas was at $2.65. When he returned home, it was at $3.00. That's 35 cents in one day. Unfrigginlievable.
Falls Church, VA - 2 Shell stations 2 blocks away from each other, the one on the highway's cheapest is $2.98, the other $2.89. Right now plenty, but the $2.89 station is very busy.
Gas was $2.49 a gallon at the cheapest station I could find in my area of Utah, as of Tuesday night.
NorthEaster IL, NORTH of CHICAGO!
UP $0.80 IN TWO DAYS!!!!
Unnnnggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
3.30/3.40/3.50
"What the hell is going on???"
Price gouging???
Just gassed up the hybrid.
2.89 in the SF Bay Area, up from 2.69 2 days ago.
Not as bad as I thought it would be.
Still, may be time to get one of those scooters at Pep boys Auto. LOL!
I drive a 2002 Mazda 626. Cost me $39.50 to fill on Sunday. I'll need to fill again on Friday.
It's a bad situation. There is a crisis. What does one expect when they haven't built a refinery in decades. This is sick.
Drill and build!
