Shell & BP across the street are in a price war. BP dropped to $3.13 so Shell did the same. This afternoon BP is $3.11. Too bad my tank is full. By the time I burn off a few gallons they will probably be .30 - .40 higher.

Paid $4.71 last tank full. My little 10 gallon commuter cost $47 bucks to fill. I was glad I wasn't driving the SUV which takes 16 gallons to fill and ruffly go the same distance. That would have been around 75bucks!
Yesterday driving North to Santa Rosa I saw gas for around $4.29 a gallon. I was temperarily estatic, until I remembered a month ago I was bitching about this price! We have a local Chevron Refinery in Richmond that supplies most of the gas locally to Northern California. They had a fire at the refinery so our prices went from around 3.95 a gallon to a high of 4.75 a gallon, and are now just starting to go back down. Somebody said the increase was also related to the "winter mixture", which made me laugh, as last summer the increase was related to the "Summer" mixture! Somewhere some corperate types must be havin a good laugh!

I had to pay $4.79 last weekend when I was out there for the California Hot Rod Reunion!!!!!!!!!go to the last page of the thread about it and take a look at all those oil well/pumps -------------

Makes yah wonder hun?

It's been running around $3.32 here in Texas but I paid $4.49 in Bakersfield last week.
I couldn't even stand to watch the numbers go by on the pump. I just gave the clerk
a $50 and didn't bother counting the change. LOL

did you go over to the coast for the trip back Emmett?

$50. if my tank was at 1/2 $50 might fill it.(93 GMC pickup)

I fill up at the Arco...it was 4.28 last time I got gas, about a week ago, its now down to 3.79....they are using the winter blend....so I`m told.

Last night coming home I saw $4.21 at a chevron. Hope the downward spiral continues to the high twos! (dreaming of easier financial days!) At Safeway it was $4.16 a gallon for regular.

I used to sell 3 dozen eggs to get $1.05 (35/dozen) which would buy 5 gallons regular and leave >05 for a root beer

Last week end I spent $98.30 for gas and $169.00 for reant a car (Chev Cruz, 29mpg at up to 80mph in freeway traffic) to go to the races from LAX airport to Bakersfield and back---

Jerry they sell farm fresh eggs for $4.50 a dozen around here, which now only will buy you a gallon of gas, and no soda pop! I used to fill my motorcyle tank for around 5 bucks!
