$4.01 today in the Chicago 'burbs. Probably a lot higher in the city. :(

WHAT! It's in the $4 range ALREADY???

I saw $4.09 on Parkway just yesterday.

gas prices are just getting too ridiculous.....i really wish there was something to do to get it back down. i dont want to be paying $5 by the end of summer for a gallon of gas

Refineries would help.

prices up again around 3.52-3.59, a bit cheaper out in the boonies, but you burn more driving there and back than you would save

ridiculous

$3.99 Regular
$4.09 Plus
$4.19 Premium

Gotta Love Los Angeles!!!

Golly, Shell only had a $9 Billion profit in the first quarter!:eek: One of the first to report, more to come later!:mad:

The Federal Govt gives subsidys for building new refiners and drilling to find oil to the Oil Companies!

Any new refiners being built lately?:rolleyes:

So, I often wondered how oil gets so damn high except the American Dollar is being devalued so low and may go down a 1/4 % again.:o

Can someone explain how the Stockmarket can set the price of oil?

I AM JEALOUS!!!:mad:

I am soooo pissed. I don't want to ride public busses, plus I don't know anything about where to get on or off at (no pun intended...lol).

In my town, the lowest, cheapest is $3.80 a gallon. The next town over's lowest is 3.97. I don't quite get the differences, expecially when two stations are directly across the street from each other, and there is a difference of several cents per gallon.

Another annoying thing is that we used to have gas cards for all the major stations. Over time, several of the brands seemed to disappear from my area, and due to not using the cards anymore, they were cancelled by the card companies. Now, the two stations that we do have cards for are either being replaced by stations like Gulf and Shell, or they are posting the highest prices per gallon.

I used to choose the station based on where I had to go that day, but now I have to plan three, four days ahead. Or else re-apply for the other gas cards.

Gas was down to 3.51 in some places today! Weird, it went down!

In OKC, we're still as "low" as $3.36.

There was something about this on the radio earlier today that (if true) ties in with the fact that we are currently trillions of $ i debt.

(Don't know how true this is, but...)

Since the nation is in so much debt, the gov't borrows money from various sources (govt issued bonds for example) and other rich countries (like Dubai).

They related it to the following scenario:

When you borrow money from your mother-in-law and your mother-in-law asks you to stay at your place for 3 months, you obviously don't say 'no' even though you might really want to.

If we are borrowing all this money from countries like Dubai, the Pres. wouldn't open up the reserves that we have to lower the gas prices ... since Dubai makes most of their money with petroleum and things like that.

I don't believe the 'stimulus' checks are going to do anything for the recession. Most of the money is going to buy gas (which doesn't help our country, but all those others that we get it from) and to pay down debts since people have been using their cards more than ever w/ the gas/food prices lately.

Still between 3.57 and 3.65 here. Does not seem to have decreased.

$4.19 for regular unleaded. I kid you not. Exxon in Summit. He's always the highest in the area, but day-um - $4.19!!
