$2.49 for Sunoco 94 octane the other day. It was $2.33 the previous day I filled up, that's a .16$ increase in one day. I think it's up another .13$ today although I hate to check prices.

Angry Gas prices just RIDICULOUS.

Filled up last night in Denver, Co and paid a little under $40 for a full tank. I think it was at 2.80 a gallon. Is higher octane really that worth it?! ANyone see performance changes when getting lower octane gasoline?

$2.81 right now for premium in Fresno, CA. We bought a car with a high performance engine. The difference in price per tank is max $4.00. The tradeoff is reduced performance and possible engine damage. How much did you pay for those custom rims?

I hate the traffic. Higher price of GAS, less cars on the highway.

Yeah, haven't see that happen yet though. I wonder how high it would have to get? $5? $10? Who can say.

Just got back from the Co. I work for in San Diego, $3.25 for 91. Freeways were packed as usual.

Nice and "cheap" at $2.65 ish here. Highways packed as usual.

Anyone for $5+?

$2.65-$2.80, depending on which scam artist/rapist you visit.

Here's a theory: Somebody somewhere has a lot of money tied up in some alternative fuel source that they want the world to turn to...what better way to force us to use it than to make the price of gas and oil go sky high? And yes, the government's in on it, just like everything else...just ask the white rabbit over on the grassy knoll...




Maybe I should lay off the all day concert festivals...

Went up about a dime over the weekend here in southern Louisiana. It's now about 2.65. This is probably the most expensive it has ever been raised to in this region. Gotta think of something...

I'm going to invest that money into a Taco Bell meal and experiment with crude methane passed straight into the tank.

I bet hummers are selling like hot cakes!
What they got, 40 gallon gas tank?
$100.00 to fill it up at 12 mpg?

How about a V12 or a hemi V8??
All wheel drive?

Fortunetly, I dont pay for gas for the work van, and we dont drive the TL
enough to where it impacts the budget at all, even when gas gets up to $4.00
a gallon or more, where it belongs.
The REAL price of gasoline should be $6.00 a gallon, if you count all
the stuff the US does to prop up the sources crude comes from...

I've found that the lower-octane gas nets me worse mileage, so it's actually cheaper per mile for me to run the premium, not counting any engine damage that might result from running lower octanes. I am not sure I would damage the engine, but the decreased mileage certainly makes it not worth cheaping out on the gas.

My wife's Yukon runs on regular (Thank God!). It averages about 16-18 MPG, but she only drives about 40 miles per week at most.
