Saw $3.75 for premium this morning, can't wait to see what it will be on Friday when I fill up.

Getting 24-25 MPG here, wish it was more.

$3.59 at 8:30 am, 3.65 at 8:45 am today for regular. That makes it $3.85 for premium. And both cars use premium.

If its that bad for you then you can always sell 1 car and use that money for gas.

Up .06 in 15 minutes. Hmm.... what could have happened in the world of oil futures in those 15 min?

Sickening.

The gas station I normally go to has been hanging at $3.95/gal for premium for at least a week. The stations around it are already north of $4.00/gal for premium, except for the Arco which is at $3.98/gal. I'll have to fill-up tomorrow. Just my luck...they'll adjust then.

Why do some gas stations adjust constantly and others don't? Are the ones who aren't constantly adjusting being nice? Hmm...

I read a few years ago in the Washington Post that Exxon (now ExxonMobil) actually monkeys with the prices at the stations ... They aren't set by the owners.

If Exxon's doing it, they're not the only ones.

Unhappy Scammers

I usually check the stations in my area a day or two before I actually need gas, to see who is the lowest. I try to keep my tank at half or above ....... takes a little of the sting out.....
Filled up at BP today for $3.67 a gal, which was cheaper than Marathon, Speedway, or Shell (Surprise). Citco was out of premium.
But, having a TL is worth it to me. Man has to have a hobby .... guess it will now be the purchase of gasoline...

With the Libya crisis, how much are you paying for gas?

Here in Vancouver, BC 91/92 octane is about $1.40/liter...which equates to about $5.45/gallon! I have Nexus however and live 15 min. from the WA state border where it's about $3.90/gallon.

I paid 1.42/litre today in the Vancouver BC are for 91 Mohawk where I fill my RDX regularly. I am in process of buying a TL Type S, it will probably return better mileage than I am getting but I also gave serious thought to an 11 Jetta TDI Highline loaded.

I think gas prices will only get worse..... But I need to drive for my job, thankfully I get reimbursed for mileage. Last night on the news a Suncoast Energy just outside Ft Lauderdale USA airport was getting $5.72 US

You can find some a little cheaper and some a little more

Dang. $5.39. I guess people don't believe in taking their business elsewhere.
