1. Hell, I've been paying that for the last 2 weeks.

I haven't been out yet today.

[Pirate Smile]

2. Top it off because it will be above $3.00 in a few hours. In CR, some

are still at $2.69 but on 1st Avenue they are already popping up to over $3.00. The rest of the stations will soon follow.

It was posted last night that it is $3.54 in Chicago.

[Skidmore]

9. I was just over at our local bank and someone came in

and said it is expected to go up $.30 by the end of the day. I'm about 20 mi. SW of you.

[Pirate Smile]

13. Someone posted last night that a they had heard inside info

from a gas station and that it was going up .43 cents today.

I'll find the thread.

[Skidmore]

15. Thanks.

I'm going to PM you to get acquainted.

[Pathwalker]

5. $2.65 on Sunday, $3.05 today.

Central Michigan. Yesterday, long lines to the gas stations created traffic problems. Station ownder said they are also cutting orders in half, and expected to get worse. I believe him.

[MuseRider]

6. $2.79 and running low.

Regular price is $2.79 and we were warned this morning that NE Kansas is running low on supply. I have not checked the diesel price today, don't want to waste the fuel to drive over to check it.

[Kazak]

[CitrusLib]

[CitrusLib]

23. I'm just about to head out to lunch and plan to check out prices now.

[Suspicious]

16. $3.19, right now....

but I heard something on a radio program this morning about $3.48 by the end of the day. I guess we'll see.

I drive a car that gets 30-35 mpg, and I don't drive a lot. Unfortunately, however, we do have plans to travel this weekend.

On edit: I'm in southern Michigan.

[yellowcanine]

17. Went from 2.66 to 2.96 overnight in Southern Maryland.

[JNelson6563]

19. Northern MI 2.99 last night, 3.20 now

no doubt the climb will continue.

[Suspicious]

21. We have plans to travel to Traverse City this weekend...

it looks like gas prices are pretty much the same, up there (we're in southern MI).

[JNelson6563]

37. That's where I am

Weather's perfect, gas prices are awful. Safe journey! :hi:

38. Hey -

Nice city (we're originally from T.C.)!

My girlfriend up there just informed me that it's at $3.56/gallon, now.

Thanks for the good wishes...I love visiting up there - we miss it a lot. :hi:

[Xithras]

20. Gas up 14 cents here since yesterday, $2.89 now but it gets far worse...

My wife filled up yesterday morning at $2.75 a gallon (for the cheap stuff). When I filled up at the same station this morning, I paid $2.86. As I was pumping, the station owner walked out to the sign and raised it again...to $2.89.

I stopped the station owner as he walked past the pumps on his way back in and struck up a conversation about gas prices. He told me that he'd already been advised that the destruction and loss of refinery capacity in New Orleans may drive his WHOLESALE prices to $3.50 -$3.75 per gallon in the next two weeks if something isn't done to fix the supply problem (retail prices will be even higher, of course).

Here's what I don't get though. I live in California, and all of our gas is refined in-state and comes from Venezuelan crude. How is the loss of Gulf capacity affecting oil availability HERE?

22. $2.79 in N.E. WI

$3.07 in Milwaukee. I had an interesting experience yesterday evening at our local Citgo. An older woman (late 70's early 80's)in line ahead of me turned around and said she thought the gas would cost over three dollars soon. My daughter told her it was already over three in Milwaukee. I just shook my head because I didn't want to risk going off in public (my daughter hates it). A man in his late 40's was behind me waiting to deliver Pizza Hut to the workers there. He went completely off, it was awesome. He started a rant about Bush and oil and the prices, he was practically screaming. No one in the store disagreed with him (about 3 others there at the time, 7 or 8 total). He even began to rant about Bush releasing the oil reserves when the refineries to process it were already destroyed.

The natives are getting restless. I've never experienced anything like this here. As a Dem I'm usually an outcast.

24. $2.75 in Mobile

[Zynx]

25. 2.79 to 2.99 in day near Waukesha, WI

[alfredo]

26. $2.99 unleaded regular Lexington Ky

Sucks!!!!

[Arger68]

27. Cheapest here (s. central MN)

is $2.599. I heard it's going up another $.40 today, though. It was $2.479 on Sunday.

[Ilsa]

28. 37 cents since last night. Yesterday evening, after reading the DU

thread about wholesale gas going up over $3/gal, I gassed up. Paid $2.60 for regualr unleaded. Midgrade was $2.68. That same midgrade is now $3 a gallon, up 37 cents.

Gas prices are all over the place here right now. Higher and lower for regular and midgrade all over town, but I expect it will stabilize more by tomorrow.

I've asked my husband to pick up some gas cans and fill them in case of shortages and if we have an emergency.

I'm glad I bought my bike two days ago!

[driver8]

29. I dream of $2.43...we haven't seen prices that low in a long time.

I live in the Los Angeles area.

[Ilsa]

30. Our Uncle Ed in Fl, a retired civil service employee, predicted this

last weekend. He said knew the supply in Fl and southeast US would be drastically reduced because they get all their gasoline via I-10 from NO.

If a smart guy like him can figure it out, I wonder what the gubmint was doing sitting on its hands all this time?

[Deja Q]

31. 2.59 to 2.99 or 3.10 depending on location
