I know, another stray topic, but it might be fun to see who in America has the highest gas prices right now. Tonight, I drove past a BP station in Lansing, MI that has $6.55 for regular. Other stations were still less than $4.00 but had 20 cars lined up. | ||

Funny how the price of oil yesterday was at $100.00 a barrel, a 5 month low, but gas continues to remain steady or rise. Here in Milwaukee, we've seen a .27 jump in 2 days. | ||

We've got lines all over the place, cars backed up for hundreds of meters, waiting for gas. I just rode right by on the bike. Love it! | ||

$3.59 for 92 non-ethanol at BP Most places are cheaper by 10 cents but I always go to BP to fill the bike. BTW that's in Omaha, NE | ||

No, I'm well outside the blast radius. We've barely got any clouds. But at least a couple of the gas stations near my house are out of gas... It's up to $6 a gallon in some places here. So the stations selling it at $4 seem like a good deal, hence the sold-out status. http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=5791480&pa ge=1 | ||

I haven't seen gas prices increase like this since 9/11, when it went to 5 dollars a gallon. | ||

4.75 - 4.99 per gallon for regular here in w.n.c. only a couple of places actually have any, and the lines are unreal. got to love it. | ||

I'm in Stone Mountain, Georgia, just outside of Atlanta, and just paid $3.95 for regular. A little over a week ago I paid $3.49. The first station I went to tonight was out of regular and mid-grade. | ||

$6.00 + a gallon?? Sounds like somebody is gouging. There is no reason for it to be that high. We are about $3.57 here in McAlester, OK. | ||

In Florida, the way the law is... Gas stations are not allowed to charge a higher price for fuel on hand that has already purchased from the wholesaler at a lower price. They have to wait until they have the fuel on hand purchased at the higher price to sell it at a higher price....... Obviously there are lots of violations of this law, but not enough investigators to check into it..... | ||

I just paid 4.13 for diesel which is the cheapest I have seen it for a while in Colorado. The pumps cut off at 100.00. I almost got her filled up but not all the way. | ||
| Teddagreek |
Its straight up price gouging... A lot of states don't have laws to protect their citizens.. like Skaker said, Florida will have your balls if you get caught price gouging.. | ||
| Seanp |
Well they need to go up to North Monroe street in Tally. Apparently it was happening there... | ||

We need another Tea Party, A good old fashioned Bay burning of gas, oil and light crude to show the law makers and oil companies we are fed up. And maybe the head of an oil exec or two... We have grown soft in 225 years. | ||

I can't believe they're talking about price increases because of hurricane Ike...I understand we have platforms in the gulf that had to be closed/evacuated because of the storm and all...but get real. What percentage of our oil do we actually source from within, versus what we import from other (non-hurricane) areas? Bunch of BS if you ask me. Someone needs to regulate that industry, and quick. | ||

It's not so much the offshore rigs, but the refineries. According to the news here, last time they were shut down for major flooding, it took ~9 months to bring them back online again, and they supply ~20% of the total refining capacity for the country. | ||

Filled the Nissan truck at Kroger's Thursday evening- regular with the 5 cent discount was about $3.52. Filled up the Buell yesterday- had to pay $4.69! A touch over 3 gallons cost $14.44. Be wary of price gouging and dishonest metering at the pumps. I've always wondered how I can put 2.2 gallons of gas in my little 2 gallon jug for the mower. Frickin thieves! Even saw a story last night where a local reporter went to a station that had signs covering the regular gas saying "out"- the reporter just stuck his hand under the sign, pushed the button and voila! He pumped a FULL TANK of regular, then interviewed the poor guy next to him who saw what he had done. The guy was incredulous. At the end of the piece the reporter said he had asked the station manager WTF???- the answer was they were worried that the gas tanks were so low, they were risking damage to the pump equipment. Sounds like BS to me, but I don't know about damaging gas pumps when their tanks are low. BTW, don't EVAR get gas leaving Gatlinburg at the last station outta town going toward Cherokee. Documented gougers there. Long Live 50+ MPG Pushrod Motors!!! | ||

Squids it is BS, at my dads station we have ran out of regular a few times, what happens is that the pump gets stupidly slow, like 10 seconds to pump a cent. I am sure its not great for the pumps to do that, but thats how you find out of your out the hard way.  |
