Damn, had to go get gas this morning and found out I had to pay about 10 cents more per gallon!! WTF??

$2.12 gallon for premium! Is this just a happening in Cali becuz of the stupid power crap! Damn, that hurts, pay for power at home and then pay again at the pump, restaurant, etc...

I guess I can't help it. I love driving my car and I don't want to change the type of gas I put in. Oh well.. just venting

 

I noticed prices at the pump are higher in NJ too. Went from $1.53 to 1.58/gallon for Exxon Supreme, but $2.12/gallon in CA?!? That's high. I don't even think it's that high in NYC.

DA

 

Damn, $2.12 is a lot for gas. Must be that power outage problem. Don't put lower grade gas in your TL!!!
Here in NJ, it is about $1.55 for a gallon of premium. I thought that was a lot but now I don't feel so bad.
Hope it goes down soon for you.

Thats a lot of $$ for gas I pay around $1.67 per gal. I got gas this week down at my sisters house thats 70miles away & paid $1.52
I go down there about once a week to visit so I get gas then. I here our cost are going up for the summer. They say we live in the heavy pollution area. The gas that we will need for the summer will cost more.

 

its rougly 1.70 per gallon in NYC, made up my mind, i'm not moving to CA!

Please, if you ever have a shred of sanity in your blood DON'T CHANGE THE GRADE OF GASOLINE EVEN IF IT MEANS DON'T DRIVE!!!! You will only hurt your fuel injectors (amongst other vital parts) in your car!! Believe me I know!!! I am a victim of someone who thought it was cool to put 87 and 89 octane in an Infiniti Q45! Sorry for me ... Cost me over 1500.00 to replace three fuel injectors and numerous repairs that could've been avoided. Trust me 2.12 vs. 2000.00 really ain't that bad considering the 19MPG city and like 29MPG highway.....believe me, you're paying alot less than me paying 20.00 to only get half a tank in that monster of a V-8. I know the feeling, I stay in Chicago. WE WERE PAYING 2.50 last summer for premium gas! 2.50! URRRRRGGGGHHHHH. I know the feeling and I hate it!

I read it some where on the web that OPEC announcing production cuts to boost sagging oil prices, but California has been hit especially hard. Fires at two refineries in Northern California cut into supplies, and the state's decision to remove a chemical additive from gasoline helped boost the cost. Add a sizable state tax of 18 cents per gallon and a 7.25 percent sales tax, and California's gas is among the most expensive in the nation.

 

Donte,

Thanks for the reasoning, too bad that doesn't make me feel any better. And the sales tax in the bay area is 8%

 

come to fremont, the gas is only $1.97.

 

dayam thats some high gas prices...down here in houston i only pay $1.47 for premium gas

 

chiawei,
Where in Freemont? I go bowling there every Wed and Fri. At CloverLeaf Bowl off of Grimmer and Freemont. Anywhere near there?
I hope you don't mean some cheap ass Rotten Robbie station either.

 

Edub,
Not sure what part of San Jose u get your gas. But Chevron off of Captial Expressway, has a pretty good price for their gas. Also most of the time there's a line, but worth the wait. Just thought I'd share that withu since your from SJ.

 

Thanks for the info. I live close to downtown, in Japantown by 1st and Jackon.

Capital Expressway is a bit south but If I am headind down there.

BTW, since you are from SJ, check out this post: http://www.acura-tl.com/ubb/Forum24/HTML/000004.html

 

Hey Eric, I work off grimmer and automall... gas around here is off the hook 2.15 for supreme... bastards

 

Hey Eric, I work off grimmer and automall... gas around here is off the hook 2.15 for supreme... bastards

 

Eric, I think I know which one you are talking about but I have never went there. It is always higher close to the freeway. I usually get gas on my way to work in Mtn View. Bastards alright!

What company do you work?

 

Yup Chinaman, gas is cheaper here in Texas for sure. It's as low as $1.41 for name brand supreme. Then again, Houston has its own friggin port so we get the goods without all the distribution fees. If you think $2.12 is high, try going to Europe -- I know driving is different than it is here in the colonies, but gas there is $4.50-$5.00 a gallon!

 

We ain't seen nothing yet. Memorial day weekend is when those bastards take advantage of people taking trips

PG&E filed for bankruptcy today, Edison is struggling to hang on. It's gonna be a rough summer in Cali.

 

I get my gas now at Costco, $1.95 for 92 octane. I could get it at the 76 station a block away, but they're at $2.10 a gallon. I've bought 92 at Costco for as little as $1.82 in South San Francisco (Colma).

hey guys i heard something somewhere saying that our gas prices will be somewhere around $2 per gallon by the summer. Its getting a little insane but its still alot cheaper than in europe

 

Damn, i thought 1.55 was a lot.
that's what u kali people get for having such a LONG AND NICE highways to drive on.


Not like here in the east coast.
mad potholes.
It's all good, what ever it takes to take care of your baby

 

They vary the price around here from $1.54 to $1.75 a gallon for premium (cost right now!)There is a gas processor plant in Denver, & we still have HIGH prices here!

Where in cali does everyone live??? I live in santa monica area, there is an arco gas station down the street for 1.79 for 92. I just checked it right now. The highest ive seen is close to 2 but never any higher. I heard of places online that can tell you where the cheapest gas station is nearby.

 

Acutally there are two beacon.

One is on fremont blvd and blacow. The other is fremont and grimmer.

don't know if its better than what you said though.
