Queen Prawn Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I had to fill-up on Friday, but when I saw the price I wanted to wait a day or two to see if the price came down at least a little bit. No such luck so I filled up yesterday after Church . I use 87 octane and it was $2.459 a gallon (I really hate that nine at the end - why not just bump it up to the nearest whole penny?!). I think the 93 octane was around $2.759 a gallon. :puke Getting used to it as there is not much I can do about it at this time. So what is the price in your neighborhood?

southsider2k5 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 $2.25 again. It went from 2.25 on Thursday to 2.49 on Friday right back to 2.25 on Sunday. And honestly I don't know how gas isn't closer to $3.00 a gallon with the way that crude has gone up in the last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my aunt and uncle were here on a visit from Ireland, they were talking about the price of gas there and here and how they were used to high prices.

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 A little different perspective out here in Arizona. I pay 2.23 for .87 octane on base and its anywhere from 2.29 to 2.35 a gallon in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False Alarm Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 i dropped $30 for 12 gallons of 87 this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 $2.63 or so here, but then again, look at where I'm typing at. See, this is why my only transportation is a bicycle. If you're crying paying $2.25, be worried, because it's a lot more likely to go up in the next 10 years than it is to go down. And up by a lot too.

SoxFan1 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 When I was driving around this morning, I believe the cheapest was $2.379 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 The last time I filled up it was just over 2 bucks a gallon. I intentionally didn't stop at a place where the gas was 2.26 (ethanol) because I thought it was high for the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 $2.17, but they are having gas wars at those stations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 $2.19 Keep in mind that we are paying a huge amount of tax on the gas. It's the ultimate user tax. http://www.gaspricewatch.com/usgastaxes.asp In Illinois you are paying $0.184 Federal $0.19 State Plus any city or county taxes added.

kapkomet Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 $.50 then would have made gas what it should have been then and we wouldn't be b****ing about these prices. Gas is still cheap... compared to what it could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
