Gas Prices in Your area, Let's hear about it.

[+ honcho]

Arco in the bay area is often the cheapest, but may vary from station to station. On the same day it was $3.03 in Oakland

at 51st and shattuck, and $3.13 in SF at Fell and Divisadero. Just across the street is a non-name station which is usually

20 to 25 cents higher, but the Arco has long lines and (I assume) enough folks are in a hurry that the other station can make

a go of it.

Paid 3.75 (regular) at a Union 76 in Burbank and 2.77 at an ARCO in Sacramento.

[+ quoththeraven]

I paid $2.55 regular (cash, which is discounted) at a Gulf station today. Read it and weep.

[BigK]

In Houston Friday...$2.45 Regular $2.73 Premium

[+ Charlie]

I just paid $3.06 for regular at my usual station in Palm Springs, the lowest I have paid there in years.

$2.80 a few miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Never thought I'd see the day! http://www.boytoy.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/whistle.png

I am thinking you're talking in gallons here but I've not read the whole thread

 

I got petrol yesterday at my local supermarket. It was

 

119.7p per litre. Equivalent to $1.87 a litre or $8.24 a gallon

 

We think that's cheap. It's not, we know that but it is cheap to us considering that just in my suburb of Newcastle alone it was $9.15 a gallon just a month ago

[bigvalboy]

I had no idea it was so expensive in Europe, but the saving grace I would imagine, is your far superior public transportation and rail system. Getting that to work in the states will probably never happen.

[SteveEscort]

Rail fares are reasonable. I have first class (yes whose two words again) train tickets to Leeds tomorrow. They were £44 ($68) return. Considering standard was £38 and I get to use the first lounge at the main line station too, they were superb value for a extra £6. I don't think £44 is expensive to travel 100 miles on a train.

 

When I go into London, it's about £70 ($109) return for first class if I time my trains correctly. For that you get a lovely private seat, free complimentary gin and tonic throughout the journey, paper, free a la carte menu or full English breakfast and its all delivered to you on an in seat service. It can't be beaten.

[bigvalboy]

Sounds wonderful, but we Americans missed the opportunity to build something like that a long time ago. You can thank Standard Oil that.

One thing that drives me crazy about these new low gas prices is clearly illustrated in a single newspaper page I saw a few weeks ago. Big headline story at the top of the page chronicling the new lower prices. Then, a little further down the page...a separate article about the sales of fuel efficient cars plummeting. Then, a little further down to the left, an article about the surging sales of big SUVs, trucks, and other gas guzzlers. Now, wouldn't owning a fuel efficient car AND having lower gas prices (however temporary) be a win-win situation? When will this gluttonous country ever learn?

Just as you say.

 

 

Seems like a perfect time for a little increase in the Federal gas tax, which has been stuck at 18.4¢ since 1993, and is no longer enough to keep the Federal Highway Trust Fund solvent.

Anyone who saw the 60 Minutes segment on deteriorating infrastructure last night knows that it's way past time to get back to fixing roads and bridges in the U. S.

A survey shows that 52% of folks surveyed by AAA are ready for a 12¢ increase, and this would seem like a perfect time for Congress to act.

I would be happy to pay a much higher gas tax, if I trusted that it would be used for infrastructure repair.

[SteveEscort]

In England we have to pay road tax. I've a high end car and my car tax is £500 a year. It's not spent on the roads.

[armadillo]

$1.99/Gallon

I haven't checked since I got back from DC, but before I left I paid $1.69 a gallon in Bergen County, NJ.

 

Of course, the prices I paid on my way home were much higher ($2.37 at a Hess station on RI Avenue in DC); I should have waited until I was in MD to fill up.

[bigvalboy]

Eight thousand views and counting....Under 3 bucks a gallon for premium on A1A in FTL. 60 smackeroos damn near filled her up. God bless BO, and God bless these United States of America.

[tyro]

This weekend, it was $1.79 on the IN toll road.

I paid $2.28 tonight at a Costco in Ventura County, CA.

[+ azdr0710]

$1.759 at a local (Arizona) Costco yesterday....

 

I don't think prices will go much lower before heading up again....this is very low now

They'll definitely go back up, fast and hard. (Something we'd normally like.) But I don't think we've hit bottom yet.

 

From what I've read we'll likely see these low prices for a nice (and welcome) while. Then, they'll slam back up suddenly and whoever is in the White House will take the blame even though they had nothing to do with it.

Meanwhile in Michigan.

A price of 78 cents per gallon was recorded at Beacon & Bridge Market while 95 cents per gallon was recorded at the Marathon in Houghton Lake. Prices were verified by GasBuddy after a review of photographs uploaded to GasBuddy's app.
