My issue is that I drive from Fort Leonard Wood and back every week. Thats a nice $64.00 each week for the pleasure of seeing my wife and son.

Up 2 cents to $3.51 today.... the only good news is that we plan to travel this summer, and gas in neighboring states seems cheaper. If only we can make it out of California!

When John posted this question it was $1.47 and now it is pushing $3.00 in centeral Jersey. However in the Princeton area if one searches on the net you will see a $.30 a gallon difference in 5 miles either side of town.

What the majors are now doing is starting rolling outages in this area to make people believe there is a shortage. The Exxon on route #1 was out Thursday and 2 stations on route 130 were out yesterday. For those of you not familair with the area these stations are less that 30 miles from the Exxon plant in Newark NJ were all the companies draw product from. O yes the Exxon station next to the Exxon plant in Newark generaly has the highest price. Transportation cost?

For those of you that lived through Enron's management of energy in California you know exactly what is going on. Same people just a different product.

Most stations in the Phoenix area are now over the magic $3 mark. I filled up last night at Costco at the bargin price of $2.969 and it only cost me $65.

Cool, I just put it on my mac. Prices seem dated though. At least 3 days old from the STL area.

2.85$ for lawn mower gas...

wild caught alaskan salmon 9.99$/lb...

u r correct howieE...

the 'shortage' is artifical and industry fabricated...

not unlike the enron rolling blackouts in kal-i-forn-ya...

except more companies are envolved and the focus isn't one region...

we gettin' sca-rewed!

The news stated this morning that AAA Georgia reported Atlanta's gas prices are $.10 below the national average, but had increased $.37 since one month ago.

The bad news..........

I spoke with a school Buddy over the weekend. He works as an oil/gas trader. He said most of us will see $4 regular by the 4th of July.

He also reminded me that he told me to buy futures 2 years ago, and then a year ago. I'm happy I didn't, I'm glad I'm not a part of this crap.........

SHOSHONE, CA


Prices in Northern Mass are now hovering at $2.99/gallon.

P.S.
That Al-Prime station in Seabrook, NH on Rte 1 is my usual fill-up station. They consistently have the lowest prices around.

$3.25 for regular, but a couple of gas stations are at $3.31.

Silvertwinkie, you must live closer to the city or something. Gas in Chicago is always much high than the suburbs.

Glad I don't live in Wisconsin but wouldn't be surprised if other states enforce the same policy.
