Horrible Gas Prices

[chevy4x4trucks]

In milwaukee we are paying about 2.79 for reformulated gas... costs more and is less efficient, what a great idea.

 

how much are you paying for gas in your area?

[silverado man]

veries from 2.59 to 2.69

[Needgasmoney]

$2.49 to $2.54 for 87 octane.

[01silverado2500]

$2.55 for regular here in SWPA (Pittsburgh) with Diesel at $2.75.

 

Right now we also have the reformulated blend for summer and it is our only choice, and I think the day it started it went up .10 because of it.

I just got back from half-filling my rental at 2.59 Per Gal in Richmond VA.

$2.42/gal for 87 octane here in west Texas.

I wondered what the RVP cleaner gas sticker at Sheetz meant. Great reformulated gas in the summer means crappy summer milage and winter blend gas the rest of the year means crappy winter milage.

I filled up with 87 the other day at $2.57 I believe. Of course it dropped to $2.42 today...lower prices on the weekend?? My luck.

wow.... with it being 2.79 at the cheapest places i'm feeling pretty bad... although gas was about 30 cents cheaper just two weeks ago, it's been going up 5 cents every other day : (

I paid $2.63 and thought it was a steal, and it was a Mobil even. Highest I've seen is $2.69 (at a Mobil 5 miles away from the $2.63 one). Oil-burners pay a whopping $2.99/gallon!

It's around $2.59 here for regular. I noticed that all of the Shell stations are also about 7 cents more expensive than every other gas station too. Shell was also the first station to price gouge when Hurricane Dennis came through here too...at least one day before eveyone else jacked up their prices.

Ya know, it just might be that Shell saw the shortage coming, and bought some high priced oil (or refined gasoline) on the expensive spot market to help provide sufficient supplies for the spike in gasoline demand caused by the mass exodus of vehicles from the coast.

 

So despite your assertion that they were "gouging", there are other explanations, equally plausible. And if my guess is correct, Shell did everybody a favor by helping make enough gas available.

[carbuster]

That's a good assessment, but they were actually reported for gouging here. And ironically enough, they were one of the first out of gas, despite upping their prices by about 35 cents per gallon compared to everyone else. Of course the very next day, the others raised their prices as well, but still not as high as Shell did. Sorry to take this thread off topic.
