Plus you got pay for commercial insurance on van plus liability insurance. Shame this business been in family since 1967. I saw this comming in 2004 everything going up. Sold all my cars and truck bought two new chevy cavaliers end 2003.

$3.13 to $3.24. At the c-store that I man the pumps at it is $3.13. But you know that everyone is taking advantage of the higher cost. In Abilene or Salina they pay the same price as we do. Mainly the depot is in Salina. At $3.13 we are making about 3#cents per gallon. Last nights fax showed that todays retailers cost to be $3.13 for unleaded. The wholesaler sends out a fax every day at about 5:30pm. I keep a very close eye on that so that I can fill up my truck nomater if I got gas yesterday or not.

You guys are lucky. Our prices here in Southern Ontario are about $1.08C per litre today, which converts to about $4.02US per gallon for regular.
I won't even talk about premium or diesel prices!!

$3.29 for regular and up to $ 3.59 for premium here in SW Florida. It's a National crisis, right up there with home mortgage foreclosures. Saw a program yesterday on TV about how long haul truckers are really feeling the pressure with diesel at over $ 4 a gallon. This is affecting every one who drives a car to either get to work, or for work. It will raise prices on everything from the pizza you get delivered to products that have to be shipped in from somewhere else. Even our Police and Emergency vehicles are being cut back to save money on fuel.
And yet the oil companies are reporting multi BILLION dollar profits...........surprise, surprise!!!!!!! Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why.

When our we, going to say enough is enough, the people that can get by without driving for a few days should park their cars. Retired people, people who don't have a job to go to. Only the people who can get by without a car, should stop driving for a few days. Think about how much money the oil companies get when they raise the price 10 or 15 cents a gallon. Times those gallons by a few million people not driving their cars for a couple of days it would have to hurt them a little. It’s not going to break the oil companies but it would make them take notice. Let this be the year people stay home instead of going on vacation. People talk about high prices and all indications are that people will not use any less gas for vacations this year. People have to ban together.
During the civil rights movement the people stopped riding the buses. As far as I can remember it put a hurt on the City. Think about it!!!

Here in south central PA, regular has been $3.25 - $3.49 for a couple of months. Premium has been $3.45 -$3.69 for about the same time. Unfortunately, both of mine take premium.
The real shocker here is diesel. Nearly every place it is $4.23 +Bob

We're bouncing between 3.15 and 3.19......what kills me is people around here drive with the hammer down like it's 1.50 a gallon. I'm glad I don't pay their credit card statements.......and everybody asks why bankruptcies and foreclosures are at an all time high....hhhmmmm......go figure.What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?

My wife is in England this week - and she is telling me that gas prices are equivalent to about $8.25 per gallon.Dave W

Wow, Wow.and Wow My wife works part time she makes $8.50 per hour she would have -.25 cents per gallon per hour it takes 2 gallons to get to work and back home. Two out of 5 hours would go for gas if we lived in England or if we had their prices, which could happen!!!!!
Gas around us goes up and down like the weather one day it's $3.39 the next day it might be $3.19 The highest we have seen it was $3.89 for 87 grade.
Just a thought how long would it take my wife to walk 20 miles to work?

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
