1. $2.33 for regular??? what the fuck?

regular in NJ has only recently climbed into the $2.00-$2.03 range, supreme is at $2.17-$2.20 and people are going to riot soon if it gets any higher.

2. More of a gas tax in CA

IIRC.

Gas is about 1.90 here right now; that's regular. Premium is in the $2.15 range.

4. Evidence of BushCo Manipulations comes to the Pumps....Bwahahahaha

[Damfino]

6. Yes...

But aren't folks expected to roll over and happily pull the lever for *ush when gas prices suddenly fall to 1.39 again come September?

Lowest price for regular here (north of NYC) was $2.18 this morning.

3. In some part of Caifornia, Full Service gas is $4.07/gal.

Full Service? I thought that line of employment went the way of the dinosaur... :shrug:

5. $2.34 in Eugene, Oregon

self-service is illegal here - none of us know how to pump our own gas and act like idiots when we go out of state.

8. HaHa

on a recent trip through Oregon going to SF, I tried to pump my own gas and was almost assaulted by the attendant - he came screaming...you can't pump your own gas!!! Jeez..ok bub

We are at $2.35 for regular in Seattle area

18. 2 States

NJ and Oregon don't allow you to pump your gas.

Now that I've moved my wife won't pump gas. She says that's my job. Not a sexist thing. She says she'll clean the toilets and I'll pump the gas.

:)
Works for me.

BTW- just paid over $2 for premium for the first time here in Texas.

11. ditto

It's the same here in Jersey. I went to visit my mom in FL 2 summers ago and she asked me to pump while she payed and I just looked at her as if she had 2 heads! I'm 20 years old and I've only pumped gas once in my life!

7. Just went down a few cents here in Phoenix

to $2.11. Whoohoo!

[trof]

9. Paid $31.20 to fill up yesterday.

And no, it's not a Humvee.
That is THE most I've ever paid at the pump.

We have 2 minivans. I'm getting rid of the older one and getting a 2 or 3 year old Honda Civic.

10. I haven't filled up in weeks but I think it is $1.90 in Va.

The last time I filled up was last Saturday on the way back from Baltimore other than that I can go 2 weeks without needing gas, work is 3 miles away we can walk toto several bars or restaurants.

[trof]

13. That's a problem with the 'burbs.

I'm 10 miles from the closest grocery.
About the same distance to the center of our little town.

Me & Miz t. don't jump in the car to run errands 2 or 3 times a day any more. Plan one trip to do all.

Folks in the neighborhood are actually calling friends when going into town.
"I'm heading into town. Need anything?"
A buddy made a bank deposit for me today, and my car stayed in the carport.

It's getting freakin' grim and it's gonna get worse.

[underpants]

14. THAT's why I moved to the city

10 years ago. I couldn't stand having to get in the freakin' car just to get a pack of smokes.

Well looks like we will be buying a house in the 'burbs fairly soon. Sigh, the commute begins.

17. Average $2.05 in Fairfax, VA...

and that's for 87.

So, you definitely have missed a lot since your last fill up!

I only work 5 exits from home but because of the G** D*** traffic tie-ups on 66, takes almost 45 painful minutes without a major accident. Throw in a frigging fender-bender and the morning is ruined. Even the back routes are backed up anymore.

12. MO

We're up to $1.98 at most stations in the St. Louis area for Regular.

[ellie]

15. On the way to the store

the price was $2.03 for the cheap stuff. On the way back from the store, the price was $1.98. Same gas and everything. This is in Whitehouse, OH, a somewhat rural area in NW Ohio.

16. $2.03 here in upstate NY

someone's making out like bandits...
