Spontooneous Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) $2.59 last Saturday in my neighborhood. $2.89 today. (Regular; premium is $3.11.) Edited August 31, 2005 by Spontooneous Quote
BERIGAN Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 Well, rumors being rampant that fuel was going to be cut off at stations at 3 pm, then 4 pm, lines are crazy long at the stations...and...get this, up to $4.59 at some stations!!!!!! No gouging of course! Quote
Sundog Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 Just reported on Fox News, $5.57/gallon in Atlanta Quote
Joe G Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 I was discussing this over lunch the other day. I said that I thought that we would hit $5.00/gal before this administration is done with us and the fellow I was talking to said, "Hell, it'll be before the end of this year!" Pure speculation of course, but what if? ← Just reported on Fox News, $5.57/gallon in Atlanta ← Um.... Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 Leaving early Friday morning for a road trip to Dubois, PA. Wonder what the price/supply situation will be then - or the return a week later. Time to redo the vacation budget. Quote
catesta Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 I saw regular unleaded priced at $3.35 in New Rochelle today. It's still about $2.75 down the street from me. Quote
sheldonm Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 I'd blame Clinton ← I sure this will get the oil/gas flowing again! Quote
RDK Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 I blame the dinosaurs. Not enough of them died 65 million years ago... Quote

Guy Berger Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 I saw regular unleaded priced at $3.35 in New Rochelle today. It's still about $2.75 down the street from me. ← I was psyched -- I drove past $2.99 gas stations but then found a $2.79 just a few dozen feet away. Though it still cost $34 to fill up 12 gallons!

GA Russell Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 Our lowest priced sation, a BP, went from $2.52 to $2.95 last night. Quote
scottb Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 two days ago $2.58 yesterday $2.74 today $2.94 Quote
BERIGAN Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 Well, this is just total bullshit. They (the State)are going to crack down on these stations. When we went out tonight, several stations conveniently didn't have a price up at all, but the pumps were still on.....and lines like you saw back in the 70's.... Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 An interesting article in today's Boston Herald about how gas prices seem to be showing up in automobile sales. SUV sales seem to be finally slowing down. The weird thing is, this article is opposite of what I heard on FOX 25's news the other night, which said that last month had record SUV sales. Maybe Fox was quoting the "Small SUV" numbers? FWIW, the second page of the article summarizes sales as follows: Large SUVs (Ford Explorer, Chevy Suburban etc.): 2005 sales through July: Down 5.4 percent 2004 sales: Down 2.9 percent Small cars (Dodge Neon, Honda Civic, Ford Focus): 2005 sales through July: Up 2.2 percent 2004 sales: Down 2.2 percent Cross-over SUVs (Ford Escape, Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander): 2005 sales through July: Up 18.8 percent 2004 sales: Up 16.6 percent Large sedans (Crown Victoria, Ford 500, Chrysler 300): 2005 sales through July: Up 34.8 percent 2004 sales: Up 13.9 percent Quote
Soulstation1 Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Posted September 1, 2005 over was over $5 a gallon in the ATL Quote
John Tapscott Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 $1.29 per litre this morning in the greater Toronto area. (nearly equivalent to the $6 per gallon gouge in Atlanta) A HUGE rip-off. Hope you all own some oil stocks. Quote
catesta Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 Fuck! The least expensive I see now is about $3.39. Quote

Hope you all own some oil stocks. ← It's not obvious to me whether this jump in price is good for all oil companies. It's true that they get to sell oil at higher prices, but those dependant on getting their oil from the refineries in the south now have to acquire it from more costly sources. Guy Quote

Guy ← Oh, it's good for them alright. They are going to have record on top of record profits, prices haven't gone up on drilling or processing the oil lately...if they "lose" a little profit in the short run,(They may sell a little less, but fuel is over $3.00 everywhere) they'll get by.
