Rediculous Gas Price Jump

[Mr. Beefy]

I went to one of my offices today at 11am and passed a gas station that had regular for $3.60/gallon. When I left to go home at 4pm... it's now $3.68. ***! 8 cents in 5 hours....... price gouging at it's best

Be happy your still in the 3 dollar range.

I'm over 4 up here.

[wicked-irocz]

thats nothing, a few weeks ago we had it go up 22 cents in a day.

[Rodville]

Over $4 here again as well.  

[Mr. Beefy]

Then I'm glad I'm resurecting the GTZ as a DD. Cant afford to run the truck at like $20 every 3-4 days. And that's only driving ~10 miles a day.

NJ always has cheaper gas than most of the country(go figure but everything else is so damn expensive) $3.60 for regular by my house, 20 miles north $3.68. Once it hits $4..... the truck gets parked, that is..... if the GTZ is done by then cause I'm sure this weekend is going to be the optimal time for the stations to shove it up our ***** without properly lubing up. I bet it'll het $4/gal on Sunday in prep for Monday and the amount of Bennys that come down to the Jersey shore. ÂÂÂ

$4/gal in the truck with a 33 gal tank...... $132
$4/gal in the GTZ with a 14 gal tank......$56
(granted prices will be a little different for the premium fuel but + what? $5-10 per tank?)

Both tanks last about the same milage roughly 300-350

3.97 today. good thing i got gas last night for the gtz and the grand prix since it was at 3.59.
I'm glad the gtz is completly fixed so i can drive that back and forth to work.

$4.3x for primo up here... I put in over $100 over the past few days.

I'm buying a Metro.

ive seen 4.19 for premium and 4.01 for reg then the zone thing could drop it bout .20 for price gauging


and sousa i feel ur pain as to y i hope i have my car running this wkd and start drivin it by end of next wk cuz right now it costs me 105.00 to fill the truck and im lucky i could get 270-294 a tank

[speedygtz]

and you all think you got it bad, well try this one, i make 7.15min wage an hour before taxes, and i drive 4 days a week to school and back, wich is 30 miles one way, so thats 60 miles each day, then between going to work,wal-mart,grocerie store,bank,post office,and god knows where the heck else i go...i rack an easy 350 miles a week on my dd, now take that, divide it by 20mpg, then multiply it by our current gas prices... and you will see that with my 2 week paycheck at around 200, i spend 140 in just gas alone, and im suppose to be able to pay for school books and maintain my car, plus my daily eating ect... yea, im at the point were the gas prices are ACTUALLY FORCING ME to get a new job. and maybe even take less classes next semester wich really sux cuz then im at school even longer...

Ugh... my Beretta gets 5 miles to the dollar... Do that math on your car and dont cringe.
At its peak it gets 8 miles to the dollar. That's an all highway tank of gas.

I just did the conversion on our prices:

Around 9 USD\gallon for low octane and 10 for high octane, and it's going up all the time

[SuzukiGhostRider]

Don't even get me started on THIS subject again.... It's up to $4 a gallon here now...

Your lucky you don't put on as many miles as us over here... IIRC a lot of your area is closer together making distance driving not a necesity...


And speedy... That just goes to show you that min wage has not kept up with the economy and I'm not surprised by that.
