forthlin Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Here in my part of the country we jumped another .15 cents today. Were now at $3.86 for regular. Anyone hit the $4.00 mark yet? I know this shows my age, but I started driving during the gas wars of the early 1970's & remember paying .23 cents a gallon for 100 octane premium. Do I miss those days!

Aaronw Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 $4.41 for 87 octane (the "cheap" stuff), luckily I don't drive much so I'm not sure what the prices are like outside the park. Probably $0.50-0.75 a gallon cheaper, one of the reasons I always try to fill up in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 How's $5 a gallon sound? Last I checked, it's $1.35/liter so multiply that by 3.68 (liters in an American gallon) for a total of $4.96. I'm dang glad my Civic is rated at 50 mpg. It recently returned 47 miles per Imperial gallon or 40 miles per American gallon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samdiego Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Been over $4 here at the pricier stations (the ones near the freeway exits) for a while now. Not as high as in Yosemite, but way too high. Filling my car doubles it's value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58 Impala Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 $3.59-$3.65 here in central Florida, and it keeps creeping up. This rediculous inflation of oil and fuel prices is really slamming the economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrObsessive Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 At a station a couple blocks from me it's been running $3.60 a gallon for regular. Now that was on Monday morning when I last past the station on my way home from work. It may have gone higher since then.........I've been home from work a couple days due to some somewhat major dental work. Thankfully, I'm only 5 miles from the job, and I drive a Saturn Ion coupe.............but I see no end in sight as oil futures are now $123 a barrel!

Fuel Coupe Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 $4.19 a gallon here for diesel (what I drive). average gas prices are about $3.59. Were not doing any traveling this summer because of fuel prices Im sure will be $4 and $5 a gallon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggon Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Here in Nor Cal its $4.01 for a gallon of regular. My first job was at a gas station...26 cents for a gallon plus a free car wash. We couldnt sell any gas because it was 24 cents down the street. Dont want to get political here, but the energy situation fries me. At night, thieves have begun punching holes in gas tanks to drain them. Jeeeeeez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
