Well, the President just called it gouging in a speech he gave (part of which was on the news), and he's a Texan, with many oilmen as friends, so he ought to know.

Fern

I don't know from price gouging -- to me that's a loaded term that tends to stifle understanding rather than promoting it. (But that's just me.)

Reuters is reporting the Texas oil refineries could be down for up to 9 days depending on damage, repairs needed and power. that could keep gas prices up and cause them to spike higher as well.. some reports are hinting $5.00 plus per gal soon.

glad I drive fuel efficient cars..

this might get rough for a bit and I was thinking with gas prices heading down the trip to Florida and OLCC the end of the month was going to cost less.. maybe they will get back on line soon and we get back below 4.00 again....

have a good day

Finally going down here

Gas finally headed down here in Calif. Yesterday saw it at $3.81, the cheapest in a long time but still a big rip.

It's taken 2 1/2 years but gas prices are getting as high as they were in the fall of 2008.

Every gas station here is well over $3.00 per gallon and going up every few days. :eek:

In Calgary where we drill for oil it is $1.03 a litre. I believe it is just around 4 litres in a gallon so around $4 a gallon. Can't believe Toronto is that much higher. Yikes!

  • Unleaded $3.09

We have been shopping at the Safeway because you earn a .20 cent gas discount per gallon each and every time you spend $50.00 in groceries. If you are going to spend $100.00 at the store, break it up into two purchases so you can receive two .20 cent gas discounts.

$2.97 here in Vegas. All the gas stations around town are at $3.10ish, but the Arco near my work is at $2.97.

I have a 44 gallon tank and still cringe when I see the pump hit $100 and it's not completely full. :bawl:

$3.13 (with the 3 cent discount) at Wal-Mart last night. it's the cheapest gas around usually. Over $60 to fill the tank. At least it usually lasts me 2 weeks or so with just local driving (sotres, school, etc.). But still.... :eek:

DH commutes an hour to work each way. He fills the tank on the CRV every 5 days. He's going to need a raise soon just to pay for gas!

Our gas has been steady just under $3/gal for over 6 months. I've seen it go up a few cents this week with crude hitting $100/bbl. after the Egypt unrest and concern about Suez Canal. Gas will be going up. It's good to keep the tank full as this tank is cheaper than the next one will be.

So far we can still fill the Prius for under $25 and that's good for almost 400 miles. My Chevy pickup is $60 to fill every 250 miles. Needless to say the Prius gets the most elective use.

We are on the list for an early plug-in Prius.
