Price watch (gas)

Mr. K said the price rose $.16 between his morning commute and the trip home. It cost him $53 to fill the tank yesterday. He’s still reeling from pump shock.

$53 for my fill-up this morning, too, kalhoun, at $3.59/gal.* That’s a record high for me.

*that’s up anoth ten cents a gallon since last week

It is at $3.89 here in the burbs of Detroit.

With a 40 gallon tank, I am not looking forward to filling up.

$3.589 Las Vegas, NV; $3.699 Cedar City UT; $3.499 in Payson UT (travel tip – the Flying J potties aren’t clean. Stop in Spanish Fork instead), and $3.869 in Burley ID.

Well, the small decrease must have been random noise. It went up again to 1.249/L today.

I’m taking the train to Montréal for my holidays.

Paid $3.81/gal yesterday - the station across the street was at $3.89, as is the place I was usually filling up. For the record, that up another $0.22/gal in two weeks, with absolutely no sign of leveling.

If gas gets to $10/gal like everyone is predicting, I’ll have to quit my job because I won’t be able to afford to get there. :wink:

There are now several places around us that are charging $5.05 - $5.20 for diesel. And we need to fill up today.

We were all excited that there was an Arco that had diesel for $4.60, so we drove out of our way to go there. And…they’re out of diesel. sigh

It’s still around $1.25/L here (USD 4.77/US gallon using conversions of 1 CAD =1.01 USD and 1 US gallon = 3.78 litres)… but diesel is $1.40/L (USD 5.35/US gallon).

Diesel has risen frighteningly in the last 2 weeks - one station on my commute went from $4.39 to $4.79. then 3 days later $4.99, then yesterday $5.29.

I sell gas, and we are at $4.09 / $4.19 / $4.29.
The highest around is about $4.23, but a few miles away, near the airport, I bet it’s closer to $4.75 - they were $4.29 when everyone else was at $3.79.

Coming back from Owen Sound last weekend, I saw one station in the hamlet of Thornbury at 1.69/L (USD 6.45/US gallon!!!). That had to have been someone seeing whether they could get away with it; nowhere else was even close (the usual 1.25, 1.23, even below 1.20 in some places.

I got my 89 gas today for $4.11 at Shell. Arco and USA might have had it for less, but they were farther away from my errand routes today.

$3.96 in CNY…better than last week, though.

Houston- I paid $3.79 today and the highest price I saw was $4.15.

$3.95 or $3.97 three days ago. I guess I’ll have to check again.

Time to revolt, people.

Maui’s now up to $4.41 a gallon for regular unleaded.

$3.85 for me today. $56.25 to fill up my tank. Is it over yet?

That would be a great name for a new hybrid or all-electric vehicle, “The Revolt”. Remember you read it here.

In eastern North Carolina for 87 octane, in a Frod Focus:

12/29/07 8.788 gallons @ $2.95.9 = $26.00, 204.1 miles @ 23.2 mpg

2/26/08 8.910 gallons @ $3.12.9 = $27.87, 312.9 miles @ 24.2 mpg

5/21/08 8.002 gallons @ $3.75.9 = $30.09 173.7 miles @ 1.7 mpg

(other fillups not shown)

$4.06 today. We are going to have to nuke India and China. From orbit, hopefully.

Or buy a car made there. Beijing is adding 1,000 cars per day to their road system.

BTW the mpg in my last post should have said 21.7 vs. 1.7
