Soaring Gas Prices
The ClubHouse: Archive: Soaring Gas Prices
Pcakes2 | Thursday, December 06, 2001 - 05:22 am   I bought gas this morning from an intersection with 4 gas stations, and here's what they had: Valero (exxon) $1.41 Shell $1.45 Unocal 76 $1.59 Chevron $1.61 (all prices reflect regular-unleaded) I know I'm stating the obvious, but it seemd best to buy gas from an area where competition is heavy. I usually buy it from the 76 down the street and pay $1.69 |
Resortgirl | Thursday, December 06, 2001 - 06:13 am   We are at between .99 and 1.09 around here... Yippee! I hear it isn't going to last because the Russians are going to slow down production. I didn't even know they had oil... |
Babyruth | Thursday, December 06, 2001 - 06:18 am   Grooch- I test drove one of those Honda Insights last fall. They're fun and sporty but very small and not with as much pep as you would expect. I hear Toyota is supposed to be coming out with 2 hybrids soon, one a four door! And Honda is coming out with a 4 door Civic hybrid. |
Car54 | Thursday, December 06, 2001 - 08:16 am   I am in Boston, I filled up this am and it was 1.06 |
Spygirl | Thursday, December 06, 2001 - 04:50 pm   Just paid $.99/gal in north Louisiana |
Babyruth | Thursday, December 06, 2001 - 06:06 pm   Arrgh- Paid $1.15/gal in Ann Arbor, MI tonite |
Babyruth | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 11:20 am   Grooch- Check out this article on the new hybrids coming out! http://carpoint.msn.com/advice/news_4020586_6.asp |
Urgrace | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 01:37 pm   Babyruth, I paid 1.45.9 for gas in the Ann Arbor area last year, so 1.15 sounds a lot better. We were paying 97.9 last week but it went back up to 99.9 here in south central Texas. If I drive 35 miles south of here, I can still get my gas for 97.9 though! Also, if Ketchuplover was in Michigan the week of the terrorist attack, the gas WAS $10.00 a gallon. The arab-run and other convenience stores are now being fined by the Michigan government. Some of them 'offered' to refund the monies collected from that fiasco in order to keep from being fined. Like everybody was going to drive back in and get it! |
Carigsby | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 01:43 pm   Well, it jumped from 89¢ to $1.19 in one day last week - in two days it was back down to 93¢ |
Grooch | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 01:45 pm   Thanks for the article, Babyruth! I am happy to see that they are becoming a reality and that they are going to be on so many cars. Anything that helps us be less dependent on oil is a great thing. I hope they fine the heck out of the people that did that in Michigan. Price gouging really pisses me off.  |
Tess | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 02:50 pm   It's 94 cents here in the suburbs of Minneapolis, but has been bouncing between that and 1.19 over the past couple of weeks with no apparent rhyme or reason. |
Urgrace | Tuesday, December 18, 2001 - 12:28 am   Our gas prices have gone down a little this week! If you are in town here it's now 93.9 unleaded regular, but in San Antonio it's 91.9. |
Sunshinemiss | Tuesday, December 18, 2001 - 06:34 pm   Sacramento, Ca this week hit $1.09, best price in YEARS. California adds so much in taxes I fear we will never be as low as some of the others. I would be happy if it just hit a buck and STAYED there. I realize the days of 26 cents a gallon are long gone (although I can vaguely remember them, my dad saying "fill it up with ethyl!") but sheesh the up and down, hard on the budget. |
