Anyone else getting worried about how fast gas prices are climbing? It's the middle of April and I already paid $3 for a gallon of premium. I read today that the US spent $212 million more on gas then we did this time last year. Some of that increase is increased demand......but most of it is increased price. I have little doubt that we are going to see $3.25-$3.50 for premium during the highest volume part of the summer this year........maybe more if we see another Katrina (which analysts think is a high probability).

This sucks

I paid $3.61 at some point last year. At those prices it takes $50 to fill up and getting 260 miles out of it really gets depressing.

Mikelikes2drive

uhmm im already paying 3.25-3.30 here in irvine, ca. 2.99 is a steal!

bascho

Dude.....that really sucks!!! I wonder what you're going to be paying in July?


$4 !!!

I just paid $2.85 for regular 87 yesterday on the Navy Base. The Mobil by my house is at $3.04 for 87. By the way, the 87 went in my 3 not my RX-7.

Steiner

$3.17 in the Oakland, CA area

Animagix

$3.25 for 93 octane in sheepshead bay, brooklyn. We got iraqi oil, where's the price break in oil/gas?

I didn't look at the signs today on the way in......but I am sure the prices are higher now that a barrel of oil is over $71. I'll check and report back.

jisoo26

Around $2.60 for 87 and $2.99 for 93 here.

Now Bush says he will not rule out using nukes on Iran.

At least then he will have a good excuse for not using the oil. :-(

Iran has nothing to do with it, although Big Oil would love for you to blame it on that.

Biggest scam ever - Crude oil stocks are building, yet farking oil companies refuse to build new refineries and blame blended gasoline and lack of refinery capacity for rising prices.

They are making a killing! Ex CEO of Exxon-Mobil was just awarded 660 million 'package.'

bascho

What's really sick is that even though the oil companies made billions last year in PROFITS....they blame the lack of new refining capacity on the US government not subsidizing the investment in new refineries. WTF?? Where is the US gov't when the country actually needs them? Make these oil companies invest their easily earned billions on new refineries.....they don't need to be subsidized by tax dollars. Where's the regulation?

I just paid $2.9something and yes, I'm starting to worry about this. It took $40.05 to fill up my baby with her zoom juice. I did get 19.4mpg in all city driving so I can't complain I guess...while yes...yes, I CAN COMPLAIN...

DANG YOU OIL COMPANIES...DANG YOU TO HELL!!!!! LOL

OPEC = Oil Price Escalation Consortium

I paid $2.99 just the other day as well. I can't believe they're just letting prices spiral upwards like this while the oil companies are posting record profits. The government or some other power has to step in at some point here, it's getting to the point of absurdity.

BlueEyes

I paid $4.30 US for 87 this past weekend.

tiggerlee

Really doesn't matter to me what it costs. My baby needs the go go juice!

moRotorMotor

You guys south of the Canadian border should be ashamed of yourselves! $3.00/gallon is a joke. I'm already paying for $4.25/gallon for regular. I have nightmares now about what the price might be at the peak of summer!

sti_eric

And what would the government do?

Aseras

even at $5 a gallon gas is still cheap. wanna argue?.. puch your car yourself for 20 miles and see how you feel.
