I heard that the solution to these outrageous gas prices is not the "GAS OUT" but not buying gas from the top distributors - EXON, BP, etc. - but buying from smaller companies. In order to correct their falling profits, the top dogs will lower prices and the rest will follow suit.

I've been telling all my friends with cars to try it. It's worth a shot. This way you don't have to remember a certain day, just avoid the same places at all times.

Jazbri,
I got an email w/ a pic saying this:

Regular: $1.89
Premium: ARM
Super: LEG

LOL!! I died laughing! It was too funny, yet oh so true http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

Gas in my neck of the woods (Ann Arbor, MI) is: $1.89 for Reg. I have no clue what the prices are for the other grades b/c I only look for the cheapest! LOL http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Woo wee....I am soooooo glad that I don't live where you guys do. Unleaded here, for now, is $1.45 regular, $1.55 mid-grade, and $1.65 premium. I also started doing something that my father would do when I was younger. I take my truck and put a 55 gallon drum on the back and fill it up like that. In the long run, I do save money.

Ideal08 05-09-2001 12:54 AM

$1.79 for regular
I forget what the Plus price is

In central Florida...I paid $1.61 for regular gas yesterday. That is about the average price. Next grade up was $1.71...I didn't even look at premium!

But you can travel a mile in any direction and it will go higher.

Be careful of that gas in DC. My boyfriend desperately looks for cheap gas in the area and this mornining his engine light came on implying that he had been putting low quality gas in his car http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

Okaaay.....girl, I wish prices were like that because it has been putting a hurting on my pocket....my poor lil pocket:(.

Steeltrap 06-23-2007 10:59 PM

So do I. Out here in SoCal, I'm paying between $2.90 and $3.10 a gallon for 87 octane. It's more expensive in Orange County than San Diego. And I have a larger car with an 18-gallon tank, rather than my old 13-gallon car.
