Gas Prices In Your Area

[+ azdr0710]

2.939 on the bad side of town and 2.979 on the fairly good side of town for regular at Costco. We don't really have a great side of town.

$3.33 for regular/cash/self-service at Valero in Queens.

The closest gas station to my home in Houston is $2.73 but there are many, many stations with higher prices. I got to go to San Francisco in November and I see that they are around the $5.00 per gallon mark right now.

Was in South Lake Tahoe, CA recently. Paid $5.25. Out of tourist areas it dropped to $4.69

This is getting terrible.   Not yet $4 in my state but will soon be.  Will grocery prices out of control, we are heading for double digit inflation.  And they shut down the pipeline and put tens of thousands out of work!   Wait until winter.  What incompetent leaders we presently have.

I paid $4.08.9 at  Costco. That's the highest Costco price I have seen.

Does anyone live in or near Gorda, California?  Because gas there reportedly hit $7.59 a gallon *gulp*

anybody remember early March of 2016?....87 octane at my local Costco was $1.139/gallon......incredible!......

and my semi-annual reminder: LONG HOSES AT COSTCO MEAN YOU CAN GO TO EITHER SIDE!!......hint: that's probably why those lines on the left side of the fuel islands are strangely shorter!.....get in it, fast!

Why are so many people afraid to do that?  Shouldn’t complain. Able to get filled up while others still in line.

Or, they’re afraid to go around the car pumping gas when the car at the front has left.

Yes we know. There are almost always signs indication so and my Wearhouse Shopping Club has them and the signs. But like most people, I don't like to do that. I find using them that way uncomfortable and annoying. I'll wait. Some would drive in the opposite direction till the club put up signs indicating "Wrong Way". I'll wait. It's never all that long in my area.

Rita Rudner used to say she had a rotating gas tank... no matter what side of the pump she pulled up to, the gas cap was always on the other side.

I remember in the 70's some U.S. made cars had the gas tank in the middle behind the license plate. That was convenient!

Yeah, I remember the Pinto issue. Some full size cars had the gas tank filling in the middle behind the license plate like the Impala, Caprice, other GM cars though.

The price of petro in California is way out of sync.  In Monterey, CA and the surrounding towns, the price for premium is in the higher $4.00 range.  At one Chevron station that I spotted, it was $4.99 per gallon. 

Last week I went to my usual gas station and only filled my auto half way; the bill was $49.00.  About four weeks ago, I rented a car that came to me full.  The representative told me that I could return 3/4th full.  The company did not have the model of auto that I'd reserved.  Upon my returning the auto to the company, I went to Costco; the bill came to $40.00, and it was not full. 

How long will these prices keep escalating?  When will the prices for almost everything cease being increased?  Are our wages going up?  Are our cheques from our retirement systems going up any time soon?

I noticed at Chevron a few days back, premium petro was going for $5.00 per gallon.  On 10.24.21, I purchased gas at my go-to station.  Premium was 4.79 per gallon.  I had some petro already in my tank.  When I filled it, the total price came to a hefty $80.00.  This definitely cannot continue.

One week later: 4.18.9.

I thought there was an oil surplus, people working from home and all.

Sure, but with the shortage of delivery drivers, getting fuel that last step, from the local tank farm to the station, is the weak link in the supply chain. My preferred Holiday/ Kroger station can be closed at completely random times- I'm learning to keep a 1/4 tank in case the station is closed when I go by to refill. Of course, that is exacerbated by Oregon having no refineries, so all our gas is pipelined down from Ferndale or Pasco, WA, and gets disrupted by all kinds of issues.
