Morgantown, WV…
Tuesday - 89 Octane was $2.61/gal.
Today - 89 Octane is $3.35/gal.
The Netherlands is up to 1.51[sup]5[/sup] for a liter of regular unleaded as of today. Cite.. At the current exchange rates that works out to: US$ 7.10 per US gallon. :eek:
I filled up yesterday at $3.15 for mid-range. $40.77, wow. Up from about $2.65 B.K.
Regular seemed to be $2.99 everywhere. I haven’t been out yet today, but I expect it’s gone up again.
Sunday, prices were as low as $2.39/gallon. Yesterday afternoon, they spiked to a uniform $2.99/gallon wherever you went. Today, it’s up to $3.19/gallon. All for regular, so that makes about $3.40 for premium.
I hope to fill up at Costco this weekend since I have to buy some stuff there anyway. I have about 2/3 of a tank right now but need to drive about 60 miles this weekend.
Last night on my way home I saw regular for $2.659 and I stopped, but it was sold out. Mid grade at $2.759 had sold out just as I got there. I topped off with premium at $2.859. This morning I now see regular starting at $2.899.
I’m in Austin, BTW.
It’s around $2.99 here for regular, it seemed to be hovering around $2.79ish for awhile before. It is very strange to hear of gas prices in the Midwest so far above here in Cali.
Baton Rouge:
It’s about the same before and since the hurricane: $2.45-2.50. However, it’s nearly impossible to find gas anywhere. I’ve heard reports of price gouging in town but haven’t seen any myself.
I’m about 50 miles north of Tampa, FL. Gas prices seem to be at $2.99/gal for the cheap stuff, but just about every gas station is out of gas. I’m glad I don’t have to go anywhere this weekend.
Houston: Saw between 2.69 and 2.89 for regular yesterday evening. Haven’t looked yet today.
In Northeastern PA regular is 3.39/gal, it was 3.19 this morning. This is the cheapest I’ve seen. The same station is out of premium and the clerk said they expect to raise it to 4/gal by next week.
I have to drive up towards Spring Hill this weekend, but not all the way there, just to Mitchell Fields in west Pasco county. I think the gas around here is already topped over $3/gallon, but I’ll double check in a couple of minutes for you.
I’m visiting my parents in Buffalo this Labor Day weekend. We’ve got the most expensive gas in the US now, according to Gas Buddy; most stations are $3.89.9 to $4.00.9. That isn’t a typo; gasoline in Buffalo is four dollars a gallon. Even Rochester is 50 cents cheaper now. Considering prices in other parts of the country, there is some widespread gouging going on here now.
SE New Brunswick, now 1.40 a litre (converts to $4.46 US per gallon). However, just watched the news and there’s a wave of stations that are currently upping to $1.50 ($4.78 US per gallon). So, since Sunday, the price has jumped .37 cents a litre.
Sunspace, I can’t believe Toronto so recently hit the $1 mark. We crossed that threshold months ago, unfortunately.
Still climbing. Reports of some stations charging $4.10 in Buffalo, while prices are FALLING in much of the US.
I filled up Tuesday at $2.74 a gallon. Now it’s $3.29 a gallon. Michigan right now has the highest average price in the U.S. at $3.13 per gallon. Um…woohoo?
Local news was reporting tonight that Marathon is going to cap their prices at $2.99. Keep your fingers crossed.
A bad choice, and a fuel is empty light led me to a $3.999/gallon mistake. Around the corner it was 40 cents cheaper. Mine needs 93 octane.
Georgia’s Goobernor Sonny Boy “ChickenKiller” Perdue signed an executive order suspending the state sales tax on gas through the end of September. That’ll save us a whopping fifteen cents a gallon at the pumps. Georgia has one of the lowest, if not the lowest, tax on gas in the US
Update
Back down to start-of-week prices today, after the Commonwealth government applied some plain old brute force: An actual profit-margin cap on both wholesaler and retailer, enforceable with $10K/instance fines, that’ll last until they convince the Secretary to his satisfaction that they’ll be good boys. Doesn’t guarantee it won’t go up, but it forces any rise to be proportional to real cost increases for the duration. (And yes, we can do that, we got the law and Court decisions to back it up)
Me, I made out swell by filling up Monday morning and as of today I’m still 3/4. Pity the poor souls that had to fill up Wednesday evening or Thursday morning.
Seattle: the station on the corner of my block has $2.95, up from $2.40-something last week.
Most gas around here is marked at $3.05 for regular. A few places are more, I saw $3.19 and $3.29 as base prices as well. Near my house, for whatever reason, all of the Seven-11 stores had kept their base price at $2.89. Every single one was completely sold out of gas. I feel a bit bad for them since gas is probably what brings in about half of their customers. It was very hard to find gasoline within 3-5 miles of my home yesterday. I finally found a small Citgo/Convenience Market that still had gas, because their credit card readers had been broken so a lot of people had been unable to pay.
There are rumors that the local school bus fleets could run out of fuel, especially in Pinellas County (Clearwater/St. Petersburg) where just about every single kid is bussed somewhere.
