Rising Gas Prices

[miss puff]

On an errand today I noticed here, in Minnesota, gas was $2.85 in my town. I didn't really need any gas yet (still had about 3/4 tank) but I stopped and topped it off anyways. Haven't seen it that price for awhile now.

Anon, my sister lives in CO too and she says gas is just outrageous. Can barely afford to get to work anymore

i really bet the gas prices are putting a severe hurting on all the road warriors/commuters out there! driving to work everyday is rapidly becoming unaffordable!!

If gas rises any higher, how are the retail stores going to remain open when they (such as Target) only pay their employees 6-7/per hour. After taxes, one would have to work 2 hours to cover the gas costs if they did not live next door~

Not sure how the employees will pay; however, we know that Target and the other chains will raise prices to accomodate for the increased distribution costs.

$2.78 per gallon this morning for 87. I had just under half-a-tank, but topped off befoer the weekend approaches because I know the price will shoot up. Although I will say that the price has been fairly steady for about the last week.....between $2.75 and $2.85 per gallon.

gas prices

$5.57 per gallon at one BP in Atlanta on the national news (FOX). An article in the Herald is stating that rationing is in the future. According to the news I've seen and the Pres's statement our capacity to produce is seriously affected now.

My son just called from Mobil, 2.67 to 2.99 for regular about 10 minutes ago.

it goes to show you how gas compaines have control over us, and not us over the gas and oil compaines...it shows how they do not have any responsibility over anything and if it goes wrong, they blame someone other then themselves, and leave us the public with the bill... Alaska for instance.


If i burn my house down, will someone come in and pay me to build
it again, hell no...if a refinary burns down, does the gas/oil company
build it again, no, we do...when they shutdown, we pay for it...
when their is a pro-longed war, we pay for it... and the excuses
continue to go on, and we continue to pay for it, while they are
making profits into the billions....

the cheapest i've seen so far is $2.88 - but the prices will probably spike for labor day weekend!

[miss puff]

$2.65 this morning. Woohoo!!!! (it's sad I get excited over gas being 2.65 and thinking that that is cheap)

[BassBoy]

$2.65 is about the same in Northeast Ohio miss puff.

We dropped .15

The Cheveron (usually most expensive) is 2.86. I'd love to see 2.65!

We should be seeing 2.65 within the week after labor day weekend

Today: $2.49 for 87 and $2.59 for 89. Time to fill-up before the price hikes for the upcoming Holiday weekend.

[AMISLANDER]

Didn't it come across yesterday that...

....prices should be going down closer to $2 by Xmas???

I don't know...my gas mileage on the 4Runner looks not right again...freaking sensor might be blown...if that darn trustee decides to take the SUV, he's in for a rude awakening....too much to fix & people can't deal with the cost of gas to run the darn thing....

I can't believe we ever thought $2 was a lot.

[FilingOnMyOwn]

It really all depends on what happens in iran. If we start dropping bombs on them too, then a couple years from now we'll be wondering how we ever thought that $4 a gallon was expensive.

Falling Gas Prices!

OMG! $2.29 for 87 octane and $2.39 for 89 octane at the Citgo station across the street from work.
