[gsaldivar]

<< Ive been told b4 that costco uses cheap a$$ gas...anyone know if its true? >>



Thanks for the heads up LoverBoyJ, I may have to stop by there after work I hope its not TOO crowded.

I think Costco buys surplus gas from various gas stations, so you never know where the gas comes from, but I have never had any problems

 

[pipster]

mobil - $1.05 where i am (california, south bay)

they say gas will be cheaper than water by year's end. you know what that means, guys: time to drink gas!

 

[NeoZGeo]

I say scooter ALL THE WAY PPL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mithrandir2001]

They've broken the $1/gal threshold around here. Not every station, mind you, but we are starting to see glorious two digit fuel prices.

 

[RDMustang1]

A whopping $0.83 here in Arlington

 

[dentalboy]

well it 99 cents in northern new yersey

 

[Working]

Hasn't find a place cheaper than Atlanta, GA yet.

 

[bstowe94]

gas cheaper than water??
last time i checked it already was
99 cents for 20oz aquafina and 98 cents for a gallon of unleaded gas drink up boys

 

[mrchan]

pipster - where is gas 1.05 a gallon?

BTW - soaring gas prices had zero effect on large vehicle (SUVs, trucks, etc..) purchases. people are buying more bigger cars now than they ever have beforoe.

 

[Mysterie]

I heard they take bids for gas from all except Arco? or something like that, but they are not low quality gas.

The New Costco in City of Industry was $1.05 yesterday great place to go so new there's almost nobody there (but don't shop there, even thru they moved to the bigger location too many people still go there).

As for 87/92 debate, I read the article from C/D and I find it very true (but most of the cars they tested were v-6 or above engines). I don't have a performance vehicle but it's a sports car (95 mustang coupe V6) and I find with premium I jerk less when shifting gear one to two to three (stick) and it accelerates smoother. In the past I also noticed when a car gets older there seems to be a performance difference too in using 92 gas. Wish C/D tested more cars (maybe a few non-turbo charged four-bangers to see how much they would improve) and at different ages to see if it really does matter.

Yeah, baby! Cheap gas is a great way to guarantee that the Big Three will continue to ignore fuel-efficient cars. :disgust:

 

[acbimmer]

$1.09 at the Coston in Clifton, NJ..PREMIUM!

 

[breadboy]

damn! just filled up for 1.53 for 87oc, in San Ramon (nor cal)..and the freaking Chevron refinery is like 20 miles away. I don't think we'll ever see sub $1 prices in the bay area again.

 

[LoverBoyJ]

East Coast is always having cheaper gas than the Bay Area. So most likely this is good for the Bay Area drivers only

 

[fossilblue]

$0.75 in Atlanta

quote: Like electricity is really a better alternative. What do you want more nuke plants, more hydro dams to kill salmon, or more natural gas plants? All of these are terrible for the enviroment. Their performance is terrible and they need to be so light at high speeds they are dangerous because they lack the heavy stell saftey components. Also all the copper they need to get for the motor windings would mean more strip mining. I can see that all Cars should run on lp (propane) of cng (compressed natural gas) wich has way less emissions than the gas counterparts. Electric vehicles are not even a reasonable solution. Maybe if you are single and don't drive for more than 20 minutes and not on the freeway. That is why the Hybrids are the new talk still uses gas but much less. They could take this a step further and go with Hybrids that run on cng or That would be a better option. But still hybrids lack in the performance we desire and are very small vehicles. Also Batteries in their production, and disposal cannot be good fro the enviroment either.

Have you ever driven a CNG vehicle? with approximately 1/3 to 1/2 the distance traveled with 3 tanks the size of small jet fuel cells under my Van and a horribly loud and painfully slow fill up time the gasoline alternative is much better.

Anyone ever wonder why those 2 successful cold fusion tests were never repeated? Am i conspiracy advocate. NO but i do believe there are and always will be things we'll never know about until the last minute and last gallon of oil is being sucked form this earth. and whatever it's replacement will cost at least a dollar more per mile than anything we have now.



it's much like smoking cigarrettes as long as someone will buy em they'll never quit selling it. Only sin tax you to death for using it. "much like they have attempted or are doing with suv's"

Ultramar Gas 87 Octane at Baldwin Park, CA $1.05

 

[kermalou]

i just paid $1.23 for 91.5 octane in so cal. amazing!

 

[Cybordolphin]

I vote for a nuclear powered.

Preferrably on a Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab (4X4 optional). And never stop to re-fuel again...... ever.

 

[MelbaToast2000]

<< $0.75 in Atlanta >>



Cheapest gas in the country is in Atlanta.
I paid $.77 in Riverdale and $.76 in Alpharetta this week.

go biodeisel!
no need for electrics if you buy a deisel engine.. save the environment and $$

 

[RossMAN]

Do any of the Portland, Oregon CostCo's sell gas?

 

[Bluzjamer]

Rhode Island Sucks,
$1.14 again..was down to $1.06 now on way back up. Crooked Politician pockets must be getting empty again. This is all bullsh_t.....the Fed ought to step in with price regulations. No way someone in Cali should pay $1.40 for the same sh_t someone in Tx gets for 83 cents. Everyone ought to pay one price for fuel.
We're all Americans.....I feel another Tea Party coming.

Rossman

None of the Portland area ones sell gas that I know of. The one in Eugene does, as well as Florence I think, and the gas here in Eugene is $0.97 a gallon!!
