Tweet

It's 2.52 here in Austin at the good old HEB food store. Looks to be going up as I paid 2.49 last week.

$2.75 per for 87 octane.........what a RIPOFF! Motorcity Michigan

$ 2.95.9 gal reg. Monterey ca.

It went up over the last 3 days from 2.49 to 2.59 now tonight to 2.69 ..... WTF?? They use to jump up a few cents now they go right up to 10 cents a jump.

Around $2.77 a gal. at Arco here in Olympia Washington but higher at a Chevron down the block where it was $2.89 pr/gal.

Yeah, but you got "free" health care . When Obama is finished, will probably be $9.00 a gallon here in good ole USA .

$2.08 for 106 octane!!!!

I'd say Obama is just a very small part of a great big problem.....

106 Octane ?

WOW !!

My cousin bosses an oil rig. He was due for a vacation, they got him to stay an extra 3 days. He got $1100 a day!
Wonder where the high fuel prices come from?

Ours has been running under $ 2.68 for months, sometimes down into the $2.59 range. But the last week or so it has bounced up to $ 2.73 or $ 2.75 a gallon. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

Don I'm just glad I got the engine running now before it shoots up!

Oil stocks are on the rise again,as of this morning on Fox $83 a barrell, up $10 from last month but with the "deep freeze'' going on across the country heating oil may be causing the spike from demand,now if Al Gore could send some global warming to thaw folks out??? Gas in Phoenix now $2.45-$2.55 for 87 octane.

Don't want to get in an argument about health care, but we have "free" health care here in Canada and our gas prices are not that much more than some places in the US from what I am reading.....about $3.30 a US gal. today. Our taxes are somewhat higher though.

Ouch,,, wouldn't ya know it starts going up when I'm planning on coming down to Orange County.

I've worked around oil rigs and on support vessels.
You have to remember several things, its really dangerous, it's highly technical, thats probably double pay, and $550 a day seems like alot, but most of these guys work 28on 28off, as such it's under $100k a year to 'boss' an oil rig away from home for 6months.

Seems fair to me.
sorry to go offtopic, I just have an understanding for such work (I'm offshore 8-9 months a year).
