today I've seen some stations over $4 but most are holding at 3.999. I had heard that about some pumps.. that they can't be set over $3.999.. but most of the stations around here are newer, so I doubt I'll be able to take advantage of that.

Is $3.89 close enough? That's what I paid on Friday!!!:mad:

Is it still like this in your part of FL? (I am looking at your location status)?

I have been paying 3.80 min. for quite sometime in the Tampa Area.

smiley, I have noticed that gas prices are slightly higher in Jax for some reason than other parts of the state! Why, I have no clue! You would think they could just send the stupid gas to the port!

No, not yet. I filled my car up on Thursday.
On Friday it went up to $4/gallon at my local Costco :(

and costco is the cheapest place in town

Yes, yesterday my husband and I both paid $4.06 for regular.

And the oil companies aren't gouging? Record profits though...because demand is so high...:rolleyes: RIIIIIIGHT.

I drive a diesel Jetta--and that is $4.55 a gallon. At the beginning of February, I paid $3 for the first time--its gone up $1.55 a gallon in three months!

$4.13. sheesh :(
more and more ppl at the bus stops.

The end of $3.99 in New York State
 

Just heard this on National news on CBS radio:
"The State Bureau of Weights and Measures, as of Wednesday, will allow stations to sell gas by the half-gallon, provided they can show proof they have ordered new pump computers.
New computers have about a 20 back order currently and cost about $400.00 each."
If not done yet by other states, would not be surprised if they follow along in changing their rules as well.

it was $4.009 the other day

just realized that it went down, i guess, or i missed somehow since i don't drive that direction, but now it is down to around 3.85 most places, i should have waited two days, but wanted to get more by doing 3/4 empty fill up thing

It always goes down after the holiday weekend. If you can wait it out til Tuesday, you're definitely better off.

I filled up the truck last night at Costco and it was $4.00/gallon :eek:

$4.52 for Off-Road
$3.85 for unleaded

Something to the tune of ~$150 fill up

I waited till Tuesday, it dropped more since then in some places but others are still around 4.00+

The same trend is happening here in Houston. A city that considers the term 'public transportation' dirty words. :p
