Wheee!!! Gas has risen nearly $1/gal here in only 2 months' time!

[Roland99]

In late January, there were stations in town at $1.85.

Today, citywide it's gone up to $2.75.



WOO HOOO!!!


Thank gawd that The Surge is working to stabilize Iraq and the Middle East. I'd hate to think what gas would be at otherwise!

1. .80 in 2 months here. nt

[Auggie]

2. I just paid $3.23 for 87 octane, S.F. Bay Area

It's much higher in San Francisco.

[Roland99]

3. I read an article that gas in S.F. could top $3.80/gal in a week or two.

[karlrschneider]

4. It's AT 4 bucks in S.F. according to CBS evening news.

Hold onto your undies, people, it's just beginning. (I paid 6.30 for airplane fuel yesterday)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. $6.30!?! Was that Jet-A or 100LL?

I had to give up flying because I can't afford it any more. Might have to ditch the car and take up bicycling (which will probably do me in).

[karlrschneider]

20. Jet-A. It's insane.

I could never afford it if it was coming out of my pocket. :grr:

edit: Here - they used to put prices on their web page but don't do it any more. Can't say as I blame 'em.

21. Forgot the link

5. Nobody Listened To Me...

I said to load your garages with barrels of oil back in early November '06, right around election time.

Anybody who expected gas prices to stay at those low levels were smokin' something. There isn't a reason to lower them until the next election, when the repubs want to make things look fine again, and that won't be for at least another 12-18 months.

6. Diesel's been over $3.00 for quite a while here in the

Chicago area. I know a lot of Americans don't use diesel for their vehicles, but Mr. Wonderful's work van does and he's been bitching about the price for over a year.

I finished the spreadsheets to take to the accountant for tax preparation yesterday and Mr. Wonderful's cost for diesel doubled in price over what he paid in 2005.

Diesel never went down in price before the November election, the way gasoline did either.

I've seen prices for regular unleaded here in the SW burbs of Chicago of $2.75/gallon. I'm expecting at least $3.00 or maybe more by next weekend...

[Donnachaidh]

7. it just went up 20 cents since NOON today

I'm not happy about it. Fast calculations -- we have gone up almost 3 quarters of a dollar in a month. :eyes:

[HockeyMom]

8. I found a station at $2.79

and had to wait on line half an hour. The other stations are in the $2.90 range.

At this rate it will be $3.00 this weekend. If Iran is attacked, we will be looking at $4 to $5 a gallon.

[Clark2008]

9. Yep - hubby just traded down.

He traded his 2003 truck on a 2001 car because gas was eating us alive.

We also needed a four-door something because we have a baby on the way and the two of us, our son and the future daughter wouldn't be able to go anywhere in one car and save money. I have a sports car, which will seat four, but it wasn't comfortable to hubby since he's bigger than me. It's good for me to drive since I'm small, though.

We certainly weren't going to get a gas-guzzling SUV or a mini-van, so from truck to car we went.

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. $.40 cents here in the last month. So glad that the war on Iraq gave us cheap gas.

:sarcasm: Heckuvajob, george. Another lie you told. Take that FReeps! You gullible Morans! :rofl:

[piesRsquare]

11. It took THAT LONG?!

Wow!

(please forgive the obnoxious tone...I'm from the SF Bay area, and it's been well over $3 a gallon for quite a while here) :-)

[Roland99]

16. Well, part of the higher prices in CA are all the "boutique blends"

[krispos42]

12. "Mission Accomplished"

[ThomWV]

13. Last Year We Showed 'Em That $3+ Didn't Bother Us At All - So Here It Comes Again

Did anyone expect anything different?

[pinniped]

14. ~$3.34 9/10 for regular, ~$3.54 9/10 for super - SF Bay Area

Jerkoffs

[rainbow4321]

15. $2.55 in Dallas suburb

And it's at Racetrack, normally the lowest priced place in town. I did find a 7-11 to fill up at, though, for 2.49/gal tonight.

[Lugnut]

17. $2.695 in the PA Poconos

Gas prices haven't been under $2 a gallon in a year and a half.

[krispos42]

18. I paid $3.509 here in the Twin Cities

But most stations are between $2.539 and $2.659.
