Wow, Did Gas Prices Suddenly Spike Or Something?

[THUNDER HANDS]

I just paid $2.50 for regular here on Long Island. The primium was up to 2.80!

What the hell happened? I paid $1.35 just a week ago!

[ET Awful]

1. $1.35???? That must have been one hell of a long week

:evilgrin:

[Roland99]

2. $1.35 or $2.35?

I haven't seen $1.35 in forever.


Heh...that reminds me. My daughter and I watched The Lost World and there was a scene of a gas station in San Diego. The price of 87 octane? $1.15!

[THUNDER HANDS]

4. oops, yeah $2.35

I meant 2.35.

Geez, $1.35 - I can hardly remember that. I remember when I first got a car I was all excited about seeing $1.19 for gas at some places.

I don't think $1.19 would fill a dixie cup now.

3. It's been over $2/gallon in Wisconsin for a long time

There must be a typo -- I don't believe that you paid $1.35 for gas in Long Island last week, unless you got it off the back of a truck from a guy named 'Guido'.

5. Sounds like price gouging. Report them. n/t

6. Doesn't it always go up after July 4th?

for all the summer travelers?

Yes it did go up a lot recently. $2.59 here in Los Angeles.

[Village Idiot]

7. I think that people are finally waking up...

Neither the price nor the demand is EVER going to stabilize EVER again...

8. enron - do you smell it?

big storm =big price increase! little storm=good! raised prices and don`t have to fix anything=$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. don`t you just love it when ya get fuck`d over?

9. It jumped 11 cents here in a week

From $2.23 to $2.34

[undeterred]

10. Sometimes its higher on summer weekends

but I think its just higher all over all the time now.

[maxsolomon]

11. its over $61 for crude so its not unexpected

"they" say that its increased demand for vacation season. uh huh.

$2.55 in Seattle again.

[phylny]

12. Up in Orange County, regular hovers at about $2.49, and has been

for a few weeks.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED I SAY, that our state and local governments aren't proposing rolling back some of the taxes we pay per gallon to help make gasoline more affordable for those with less means.
