I just took the camaro out and tried to buy gas. 2.10 a gallon for premium !!! and that was after finding a station that had some. Three had nothing but regular unleaded at 1.80/gal. Seems a pipeline broke between Texas and Arizona so now there is a shortage of gas and the price for regular unleaded is fast approaching 2.00 a gallon.

It's jumped 28 cents a gallon here in the last 10 days. I CANNOT believe there is nobody that can control these guys. They do WHATEVER they want to with pricing.

WOW!! thats amazing. i cant believe it!!!i dont know how i would feel if reg unleaded wa $1.80 a gallon but that would sure save me alot of money if it was that cheap over here in the s.f. bay area. anyway, gas is not just creaping but it is shooting up over here. but as everyone knows, we pay a whole lot of cash even though the refinery is in our back yard. what i thought was funny was that i heard the people in iraq are pissed because thier gas prices have double. to .11 cents.

Man, wasn't it just down 1.79 last week? (reg unleaded)? This week it's 1.89 for reg. I hate the fickle pricing... [img]graemlins/angry.gif[/img] ... Angel, it was good meeting you and your family yesterday at the carshow...Hopefully you can bring one of you cars to the Hillsdale carshow on the 7th, and hookup with us...

Huummm - let's see - Last Holiday for the year coming up - gas always go up for some 'lame a$$' reason a couple weeks before EVERY major holiday in the US and ... well you figure it out.
Take a good look at the charting done by Lundberg (spelling?) AAA or any of the other groups that follow the oil/fuel industry and you will see the same trend for the last couple years.
'Rip Off' - why yes.
Sit tight - it will be back down right after the holidays.

BTW - Marine fuel at the lake this weekend = $3.12 (gal.) for 92 octane.

Our local station has regular unleaded for $1.42 a gallon, but that is up .06 from 2 weeks ago. I just put premium($1.61) in my boat today, but my SS454 pickup only needs regular(that helps when you get 11.5 mpg).

I guess my problem is twofold; we have several refineries in our state, but our gas is always much more expensive than other states, 50 cents per gallon more than yours. Secondly, my gas bill exceeds $3K per month with my work vehicles so a 20% increase like we just had is $600+ per month to me. Just doesn't seem right.

Your gas has "jumped" 6 cents in two weeks; ours has jumped nearly 30 cents in the same time-frame.

Nothing against you Jeff, just venting is all!!!

Just before the "2003 black out" gas around here was around $1.54, Soon as the lights came back on, the price jumped close to .20 cents!
I dont get it.....Don't we own Iraq now? Gas should be about a buck a gallon. [img]graemlins/sad.gif[/img]

The little guy is getting the shaft again!! I should just convert my camaro to run on propane or water or something!

[angelglo]

hey mike, it was great meeting you and red rocker also. my daughter alyssa said you guys were the ugliest guys she has ever met but you two had the most beatiful cars at the show which made up for it. lol. anyway, very nice cars. still dont know when ill be able to pull the motor out of my 69. i just bought a 68 dodge charger today. maybe i can take that. its the bullitt kit made by ertl in its american muscle line. i bought it at target. i also saw the mustang and it looked pretty cool but as i sat there looking at it, i said "i cant have a ford in my house". anyway, vintage, what lake did you go to? i take my own gas to the lake. i first fill up my two 15 gallon tanks and bring six 5 gallon cans. i have to use 110 ocatane for my motor cuz its at 13.5 -1 ratio. thats the bad part about my motor.

Yeah, you guys are getting shafted out west. I keep an eye on our gas prices because I barely get 11.5 mpg. Luckily I only have a 10 minute drive to work. A 454 with 4.10 gears is not exactly a fuel efficient combination. At least it has overdrive which helps on the highway. These short term gas price increases need to be investigated. Refineries buy their oil 3-4 months before the gas ever reaches the market so how can a problem today affect the price tomorrow when we're buying gas that is based on prices 3-4 months earlier?

[KevinW]

I'm glad I just filled up mine. 1.43 for reg, 1.59 for super.

[Lonnie67]

Does this mean Circle K gas is the same as Chevron and Texaco. It all comes from the same pipeline.

Jack, have they said when it is going to be fixed? Hasn't it been about a week?

Did you hear the govener last night? She said they are trucking in more gas than we use, it is just a distribution issue. Whatever. Maybe I'll get a day off if I can't get any gas to go to work.

Lonnie

[jackr]

Yup, same pipeline, same gas. I am going to be a lot less choosey after this.

A couple of the people here at work stated they had to ride the bus ?? today. I didn't even know you could do that in Phoenix. I heard the Gov too, she claims we have all the gas we norally get ?? Although She was in Indiana at a conference so someone's feeding her a line.

[paulm]

I can't believe that we are out of gas!!!!

[img]graemlins/angry.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/angry.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/angry.gif[/img]

I called a bunch of stations and they are pretty much all dry!!!!!

That's it, we're done! All we need is to lose the power and we are back in the stone ages!

I guess I'll be working from home until they get this "distribution" thing worked out...
