SpongeBob will be proud to know I got a Costco Amex card for just that very reason, and we mostly use it for gas, already have an Amex that is airline miles. PLUS, if you get the Costco Amex, they will let the Amex also be your Costco card, so you don't have to carry another piece of plastic in your wallet. Believe it or not, that is actually an incentive for me.

LT, they tend to hike it up for weekend travelers and end of summer vacationers.

Lady, I'm kind of expecting that I should have filled up yesterday. I've hear that because of hurricane Ike causing shutdown of some platforms in the Gulf, prices were going up.

After Darrellh reminded me to, I was really lucky to fill up at a gas station that hadn't shown a price hike yet. It was one of the few in my area that hadn't. I got to fill up for $3.49/gal. Some stations had already hiked it to over $4/gal.

Still $3.76 at my neighborhood cheap station, same as it has been since before Ike. Maybe we'll get lucky here in no. CA and it won't go up. (probably wishful thinking and won't happen)

I think certain parts of the mid-US will see higher gas prices due to Ike. I think those of us on the west coast may actually not see increases like that. (Gulf oil doesn't come out this far west.)

I got gas today, needed over a half tank and driving tomorrow and still worrying about it going up in price, but so far, so good. three stations at $3.59, which is less than I've paid since May or June.

I'm wondering if it is ok for me to whine now? Somebody upthread - can't remember who, can't remember when but it's been awhile - said that until the Midwest's prices were the same as California we have nothing to whine about. $3.59 and that's for ethanol so regular unleaded is probably $3.69. I'm actually not whining too much. We don't use that much gas. Hubby is alot closer to work here and his truck died so he's driving the Focus so between those two we're paying less than half in one weeks time than we were in Kentucky, when gas was a dollar or more cheaper. Now it would be nice if by next Wed it decided to drop big time since we're going on vacation and driving, but I won't hold my breath.

I wonder if I was seeing things, yesterday I think I saw $3.39. I would be doubting myself more, but the same station had $3.5? for premium. I was in a neighboring town and should have stopped and gotten gas. I guess I wasn't seeing things because I just checked gasbuddy.com and it is posted there along with the costco in that town at $3.69. It is only maybe 4-5 miles from my costco, I'm going up there to get gas today!

Yep, it was $3.39! 30 cents cheaper than the place right across the street from it (and that place is known to be a cheap place), both stations are right off the hwy. It was also only about 3 miles from my costco where I usually get gas. I am so happy about this!

Woo Hoo for $3.39.. I was out today and saw other stations at $3.59 and then one (the one I went to for the $3.59 gas the other day) at $3.57, so the trend is good.
