Gas skyrocketed, oh my!

[BigfootKevin]

probably, but they'll probably go down about 10 cents higher then what they were

 

[Ronin]

Cheapest I've found anywhere close to me is 2.79 (by the office, 2.93).

 

[luckysnafu]

My coworker who just just got back from the post office told me the gas station across the street only has premium and another up the street is out. This is in Raleigh (Cary) NC

 

[Ultima]

1.16 here in Montreal.

 

[DarkKnight69]

1.16 per litre, that is like 4.64 per gallon.

I just gassed up at freaking 4.84 per gallon

I can't see them shutting down for weeks, but I can see a few days. The pipeline is pumping at around 25% capacity right now, so gas will start trickling in by the weekend, but probably not enough for the demand with people traveling and wanting to fill up on lower prices.

I'm glad i filled up this morning....$2.65 at 7:30...went out to lunch and passed by...$2.88 at 11:00

 

[luckysnafu]

My parents, who live in PA, wanted me to go home for the weekend, but that is not happening. I probably won't see them until Christmas now.

2.69 last night
2.99 this morning
3.29 at 11am

i filled up wednesday and have used about a gallon and a half, im good for a few more days

 

[Aftermath]

The wife text messaged me about a half hour ago. $3.49 at the station down the road from here. It was $3.09 yesterday and $2.69 about four days ago.

$2.25 when we moved up here 3 months ago. This is around Galway, NY.

 

[Ronin]

I'm moving this weekend, too..this should be quite the adventure.

 

[Apathetic]

A gallon of regular hit $3.21 here in Raleigh yesterday. The two major pipelines which supply 90% of the gasoline to the state shutdown a few days ago so prices skyrocketed and some gas stations ran out of gas. I think they manged to get the pipelines partially working today so hopefully prices won't go up too much more.

The prices will go back down once the fuel lines are reestablished, correct?

Possibly. Remember, prices are always quick to rise and very slow to go back down.

Gas is $2.89 gal close to my apt, but $3.99 just up the road. This is in Atlanta. My friend drove to Jonesboro last night and told me they're at $6.19/gal. Just refreeekindiculous!

 

[Bumrush99]

This is what I think of the high gas prices

 

[marvdmartian]

Just saw on CNN, where they were going around Atlanta area, showing how gas prices were going up there. Most places were ~$3.30 a gallon (give or take). Then they showed one place that was charging $5.89 a gallon!! :shocked:

Man, I hope they slam that station owner!! That's pure and simple price gouging, being $2.50 a gallon higher than everywhere else around that area! People that pull that stuff, no matter the situation, need to be horsewhipped in public!! :|

 

[Insane3D]

Just filled up @ the local Mobil with 93, it was 3.14 at one, but when I got there they had signs saying special and super were "out of order"...and it's a brand new gas station. I'm guessing they are using their special and super tanks for regular figuring on a rush?

The Mobil at the other end of town was a bit higher @ 3.17/gallon. I'm glad I only have a 15 gallon tank...12 gallon fill up = $40...

Regular is still just under $3 here in southern NH...~2.95 @ most places...

shoot her


This is what I hate about Americans... nobody cancels trips, they just pay more. Get a fvcking clue... gas prices soar because they know they can charge whatever they want to and we'll pay it.

 

[Kyteland]

I filled up on Saturday when I picked up my car from the shop. That'll easily last me until December.

I think I've put <$100 of gas in my car all year.

I used to work at a gas station, and this basically not possible. You'd have to empty the tank and then fill it up immediately with the regular. Plus, the super and ultra grades are in MUCH smaller tanks. They're less than 1/4th the size of the regular tank each (less than half together). It wouldn't be worth the trouble.

 

[BigfootKevin]

This is so depressing.

I'm buying a bike.

 

[MisterCornell]

I don't think gas prices are problematic here in Columbus. Ohio has its own gasoline industry. There are many refineries in Toledo and Lima. That keeps prices down here, and protects the state from oil shocks due to refinery capacity elsewhere.

Ahhh..good info. I just thought it was weird because it is a brand new gaint station that just opened a few months ago...seems weird two grades would be offline like that..
