supposed to be 4 bucks in the summer
New personal first today.
I just paid $3.05 per gallon for gas today.
I've paid that and a lot more in LA recently but never in Texas.
Before some of you bags flame me for paying too much for gas I have to run premium. Gotta hypertech chip that adds like 80hp and loads of torque for towing trailers and stuff. I need it and can afford it.
How the does someone making minimum wage still drive? Gas really IS getting expensive.

Here in Ann Arbor Michigan, we've been over $3 for the last month or so. As of right now it's $3.29
god hates michigan.
around 2.80 in austin.
stop crying
4.30 in oaktown
that's ing ridiculous.
I was in East Texas today visiting some clients... $2.60 a gallon
$2.92 in Dallas
Premium is 3.95 here.
Ive seen it here in SA for as alow as $2.77, but they are going up.
Cali's gas is different, while its still gas they to weird to it to cut down on emissions
I too have to use premium, and I have paid as high as 3.05, but the Wally World off of Bandera and Mainland has it for 2.95, or 2.92 if you get their silly gift card and pay with that.
and yeah, gas is getting stupid.
I use premium also...good times.
... premium out here in LA is usually around $3.60-$3.80.
Hypertech
When gas prices look like this:

MPG looks like this:
Everything on the far NE side just went up 8 cents overnight. .
ethanol man
govt doesnt care wat the fuel price is, since they get fuel excise tax
I have to wonder what price it will actually reach before its just too god damn much. We're at the point now where gas is nearly if not more than the cost of the vehicle itself. Which is too ing much to begin with considering the return is somewhere around 15%.
Something has to change because I don't see any good coming out of 3-4 dollar gas prices. American economy thrives on disposible income and this takes a serious cut out of that. If they could get it around 2.50 or less its somewhat managable but 4 dollar gas isn't something easily fitted into an average American's budget.
"I don't see any good coming out of 3-4 dollar gas prices"
Then you're blind. Higher gas/oil prices will stimulate greater transport efficiency, alternatives to oil-based transport, and thereby keep more of the national wealth within national borders rather than shipping 100s of $Bs into the M/E, VZ, RU and other hostile countries.
"this takes a serious cut out of that"
Then buy cars that get 40+ MPG rather than 25- MPG. Simple, isn't it?
Not too many people in this thread have heard of peakoil, obviously. Petrol will continue to increase in price over the long-term* as demand outstrips supply, and the smart money is going into technology and behaviours that lead away from petrol dependency.
Also, we pay $1.30+/L, and the Euros more than $1.50, so you're not doing too badly...
*decade. Short-term price fluctuations are generally due to local market conditions or supply bottlenecks. look out if there is ever a war with Iran, because nearly half the world's oil flows through the Straits of Hormuz...
gas is around 3.70 p/g here
yall have it easy if its 3.05..... i had to pay 3.60 this morning for just the regular unleaded..... the premium was close to 4 bucks
It's not getting cheaper ever again. Oil is peaking within 15 years. By 2050 I'm guessing cars won't run on petroleum anymore since it will be needed for plastics and so on instead of just burning it all.
Get more MPG, start a long term investment now.
you mean a hybrid? i heard it costs 10 k after 7 years to get the fuel cell battery changed......
