gasoline prices

^It's not that easy at all. OPEC isn't going to release a bunch of reserves when they know damn well that there is plenty of oil readily available for extraction/production.

None of this will change until government policy and legislation changes.

So far Chicago has the highest gas prices. Yay!!!

Founds this online and thought it was interesting.

I just paid $3.999 for a tank of gas.
Per gas buddy, the station is the lowest in area.
The station just up the street is selling gas at $4.079
There was not line at at, I just drove up and filled up.
I asked the gas jockey what was up and find out the pump
is not able to be set above $3.999!
I know where I am getting my gas until the pumps get replaced!

I still have the flu (seriously, who gets the flu in the summer?) but I went out into the world and passed by "my" gas station.

unleaded prices
4/26 - $3.57 /gal
5/12 - $3.74 /gal
5/21 - $3.89 /gal
5/25 - $3.91 /gal

The super & premium has been at or above the $4 for awhile ... right now premium is around $4.22/gal

Hmmmm....I'm thinking of renting that Phi Mu golf cart for local commutes.

$3.95 here for Regular. I'm glad we chose to rent a mini-van for next week's vacation rather than an RV!!

[aephi alum]

Ok. All you folks who can still get regular for less than $4/gal, quit yer whining.

The real question is, when are we going to stop feeling shocked by the gas prices?

They showed a funny piece on the news of people complaining about how expensive gas was.. how are people going to make it with prices that high, on and on. Then they revealed that the piece was when it went over $2 for the first time. Who wouldn't be doing a happy dance for $2 gas now?

I don't think that will ever happen. There was an article on CNN mobile that said most people think gas prices will "stay around the same or get higher" in the near future. Every other time that question has been asked in the past, consumers said it would eventually go back down b/c that's what it has always done before.

I wouldn't be surprised to see $5-$6 regular unleaded in the future.

I drove to work the other day and thought to myself, I need to fill up my tank pretty soon.....As I was driving to work, gas was 3.71, as I drove home it was 3.81!

The next day it was 3.91 at the same station!

$4.68 for diesel today. Thankfully, I've got enough to get through to the middle of the week when hopefully it will drop down a bit, but damn.

I hate to say it, but that's wishful thinking

I used to fill up when my car was down to only 1/4 left, and now I will fill up when it gets to about 1/2 b/c gas isn't getting any cheaper.

Most of the places around here jack the price up for Memorial Day weekend and then drop it a few cents midway through the week after. I'll take even a few cents right now, sad!
