Puyallup, Wa 2.17

[Coloradobus]

Gas in Denver is not far behind Cheapies Reg Unl $1.90, Plus $1.97, Premium $2.07
Named Brand $1.99, $2.07, $2.17. Diesel ranges from $1.89 and up.

[Janet H]

Richland, WA:
$2.19 (cheapest in town) regular
$2.35 Diesel

I wonder after the fall elections, if the cost of crude will go down?)

[wingfoot321]

Just curious, with gasoline in California headed for $3.00 a gallon, do you think it would ever be possible to license a refinery or offshore drilling in California to improve the west coast supply situation which, I am assuming is getting you folks.

Diesel is hanging around $1.65 around here while unleaded is about $1.90 most places and over $2 in Dripping Springs. I filled with diesel for $1,579 the other day.

With diesel$.30 to $.40 less than regular, I'm sure glad I'm towing with a diesel.

I take off for PA Tuesday. My only change will be to hang at 60 instead of 65. At 60, the Duramax is right on the torque peak and gets close to 16 mpg towing. It probably won't add more than 2 hours to my trip there.

2.03.... I am very glad I drive a small truck, but our tow vehicle drinks MORE. of course.

[crazylev]

Jeez.

I just filled up the VW Eurovan from about empty....$50.00 in Premium!!!!!

And that did not even include a receipt .

My van has a worst drinking problem than me!

I just might tow my 19' with a bicycle like that fellow in the old AS photo.

We've discovered that many gas stations have a $50 cut-off for paying at the pump with credit cards. It takes two trips to fill up the van - that bad boy takes about $75 a tank at about 2.25 a gallon! That comes out to just over $200 in gas for our little jaunt to CA and back this weekend. Oh well, it was still worth it!

[Excella3287]

Just got back from Santa Barbara premiun $3.11 per gallon. Worth it too see my one and only daughter. Next time I'll pay her not to work the weekend and take the train to come home. If we consumers were smart we would control our spending and force competitive among retail gas prices as a group.Now who wants too take the lead?

[markparker22]

Santa Barbara Regular gas $2.29 per gallon, best price in town.

[Coloradobus]

I'm becoming concerned. What is going to be the breaking point for gas prices? The price escalation is pandemic. Crazylev may have the right idea. Tow our airstreams with bicycles-tandems for extra power, recliners for sightseeing, unicycles for tight city driving.

[davidz71]

$1.89 for reg. unleaded for over a week now in Tullahom, TN. Nashville seems to be .02-.04 per gallon higher than here on a regular basis.

[Janets Husband]

Richland, Washington

Today Reg. $2.17 to $2.24 up about 12 cents in one week
Diesel $2.19 to $2.25

In the imortal words of Jackie Gleason "and away we go"
You ain't seen nothing yet, I think the whole country is in for a hosing; a la California power shortage.

[Coloradobus]

We've already been "hosed". It was called WMD.

[idahosafari]

In the past, high fuel prices and/or high interest rates have "thrown cold water" on RV sales. Anyone know if that's the case this year?

In eastern IA $1.89 is pretty common. You can pay MORE however! I haven't heard how RV dealers are doing... I'll be at a couple of them this week, I'll ask.

I will. I've put exactly 29.4 miles on my truck in the last month, and that was only to get heavy things like beer & a pool filter. (It's this rare pool filter that runs on beer, not me ...)

Interestingly enough, RV sales are robust. Per RV Business, 5th Wheel sales up 20% in March. Texas Rv Park resevations up 5-20%. Motorhome sales up 7.9% in March. Thor's sales revenue up 65%. Things look prety rosey despite gas prices. All info from RV Business.
