How much is gas where you're at?

[FMCoug]

We shop at Smith's and always seem to have credit for the discount they give you. My wife usually uses that. I'm too lazy to plan ahead like that so I just get gas wherever. Last tank I bought was 3.77 (vs. the 3.35 at Smith's)

Headed to CA this weekend. Probably should pick up some Vaseline to take along with me ...

A pretty enlightening article on why rising gas prices might be a good thing. I just wish someone would have put this much thought and analysis into the situation 4 years ago when Bush was in office.

Wait. Since when did the Onion start writing articles for MSN Money?

I like the idea of looking on the bright side of life, but holy cow...

That article was absolute horseshit. There is absolutely no reason to ever be happy about gas being $5/gallon.

I am at the point of my life where I work mainly from home. In addition, as more of our kids leave the nest we have less of a need for our large gas-sucking SUV that seats 9 (thanks to a few mods I made). As soon as they let me out of the YM's we won't really have a reason to keep it and will trade it in on an electric golf cart.

Seems to me that Chevron is always a little too proud of their product.


Filled up over the weekend at Costco at $3.50.

A couple of weeks ago in Hawaii we were filling up around $4.30 when we could find it that low - often it was another .10-.15 higher.

It's the Techron man!

I agree, it seems it always 5-10 cents higher than anywhere else, they always seems to have people gassing up there though

Gassed up the minivan Saturday - $3.55 at Smiths in Layton, but we had a $.30 off a gallon credit, so it only cost $3.25/gallon. It was $3.63 across the street at Chevron

I have not gassed up my car in over a month.. However it has finally hit empty and will have to gas up this week. I am bracing for the price shock now.

Of course my wife has gassed up our Jeep every 2 to 3 weeks. With me taking the Buss daily I think it has saved us the rising cost in our budget. Before we both were gassing up and now only she is gassing up. But it's like I am still paying for two cars..

We paid $4.59 for 87 at one point on this trip. Thankfully we have bought our last CA gas.

[Soccermom]

Last night, it was $4.39 for 87 octane for me. Times like this make me glad I have a mini van and not an SUV.

[NorthwestUteFan]

Even buying at Costco or using the ten cent/gallon rebate at Safeway we are pushing 3.90 for 87 ochotane.
I can see 5 dollar gas in the future, because summer driving season has yet to start. I am already seeing the repercussions in the price of fresh produce and certain other groceries.

Along I5 from Eugene to Bellingham it is between $3.99-$4.15 for regular.

[hostile]

$3.75 last night for 87. You Californian's have to be over $4 right now.

We're in La Quinta/Palm Springs this week, experiencing both gas and temperature shock - $4.19 for 87 with a high of 98 degrees.
