F... gas prices

[dmek25]

isn't it funny that now we look at gas for $3.79 a gallon as cheap? i just bought gas at B.J.s for $3.73/ gallon

If prices fall back under $3 I might start calling it cheap. Until then gas prices still suck.

I doubt gas ever goes below 3.25 again. It may drop to ~ 3.50 after the summer but the days of "cheap" gas are over.

I was just happy to see my gas prices at my local wawa fall down to 3.83 lol. It still don't matter though because I buy plus, my car gets better mileage from it.

Talked to a lady today that bought gas on Rt. 17 on York County, VA for 37.5 cents a gallon. She thought something wrong with her car when looked at receipt. After going in the office the clerk realized they had put in .375 cents a gallon versus $3.75. Correction was made quickly.

Just filled up today for 3.37 here in OKC. Its pathetic that i'm bragging about that being cheap.

We're getting screwed out here...gas is $4.30 around my neighborhood.

The midwest is notorious for high gas prices, so I might have to jump on the $4.05 I just saw.

Next summer, prices could be anywhere between $4.80 and $6.00 around here. Already looking for ways to cut driving out of my living essentials.

Riding my bicycle to work and have been since I dropped the lease on my Caddy 3.6 CTS last Feb.

Gas prices are horrendous in my area (Westlake Village, CA).

Of course cycling to work at midnight is nice, quiet and helping me stay healthy.

Wow. We had a $0.54 increase today. Glad I filled up both cars yesterday.

That's the impact of Ike, all Gulf oil production has shut down for the time being.

Luckily it's just temporary. Once the storm is gone the price should revert back within a few weeks.

It might have something to do with it being impossible to fix the busted oil rigs, pipelines, and refineries overnight.

But I'm sure the more likely explanation is an industry-wide conspiracy to gouge you of every red cent.

If Texas makes a quarter of our gas why does that affect all of the gas prices?

To be honest I have a two mile round trip commute to work each day (I walk most days) so it is not a big deal to me. I just feel for people who are hand cuffed by gas prices.

Even if everything was immediately 100% operational, it would still take a week or so to get back down to the previous price. That's just businesses being cautious - it's not a conspiracy.
