$3.85 is about the lowest here in Jersey. This is such an expensive state to live in so its a huge suprise that we have some of the cheapest gas in the nation. Its getting out of control though. I dont know how anyone with a minimum wage job or even slightly higher can afford to commute to work.

kenchan 03-17-2012 12:51 PM

my prediction is that by summer my area will be 5.50max for premium..at least that's the budget i set aside for this season for gas. :icon17:

Maybe higher gas prices is a good thing. It might get those a$$holes off the road who can't afford to repair their car or buy insurance but somehow can afford to buy gas, buy beer and go to bingo...........every day! Like BMSmith said, "Who gives a fark.....". If you can't afford it, go electric. Oops, now you have your hydro bill going through the roof. The price of gas is what it is and has been high in price since the '70's. It ain't goin' lower folks.

After ZdayZ I don't care too much because either way is going up especailly in the Summer time. Hope it stay below $5.00 before the end of May.

Lemers 03-17-2012 04:21 PM

Earlier this week I paid 3.84 per gal

i thought higher gas prices will reduce traffic on the weekends...but it introduces annoying bicycle traffic in 2lane roads... :ugh2:

they need to tax and make them pay insurance for bicycle riders to get rid of them too. :icon17:

Fire 03-17-2012 05:24 PM

Just payed $4.11. Only took a little over 6 gals.

bigdog1250 03-17-2012 05:30 PM

$4.65 here in San Francisco, been over $4 for quite some time now.

Compdoc777 03-17-2012 05:40 PM

I just filled up with 93 for 3.55 a gallon. Kroger with my.20 cent discount!

dennis26 03-17-2012 07:29 PM

Shell 93 $3.95 a gallon in NE Alabama as of this past Wed.

theboydiddy 03-17-2012 10:49 PM

$4.25 NYC (**** nyc man) lol

Zoren 370 03-18-2012 11:40 AM

$4.19 for premium Shell V-power. Thinking of just using Murphy's is gas brand really matters? Aren't all gas rated the same for premium at the very least?

m4a1mustang 03-18-2012 12:02 PM

I just paid $4.24 this morning in NOVA.

Octanes should be the same since it's highly regulated. I think the main difference among some brands is the additives. Some of the "lower tier" gas stations actually source their fuel from the big names like Shell, Exxon, etc.

ouch! If you make it up next Saturday, you can fill up here where it should be a little cheaper. I do remember that gas was always cheaper in Manassass though when I live n NOVA.

Yeah but it will cancel itself out because of the gas I will have to use to get up there. :icon17:

I think we'll be at $5+ pretty shortly. Just hoping we get some releif for ZDayZ so I am not spending TOO much. Sending two cars down is expensive! :icon17:

It doesn't really matter. It's pretty much the same 93 octane at all gas stations. You pay extra for Shell, Chevron, BP, etc...for the extra additives they add to the fuel. I think the best thing you can do is try to find a gas station that does not use ethanol or the 10% ethanol blends. It burns faster than regular gas in turn making your gas mileage suffer.

Oh and I paid $4.05 last time I filled up. It is definately going to be $5+ by summer. I just hope it stays below $6!!!

HKYStormFront 03-18-2012 12:13 PM

it's $3.89 for premium here right now i believe. i find it funny how gas used to move 1 or 2 cents at a time, now it moves 5 or 10 cents at a time. if that doesn't tell you it's rigged i don't know what does.

In actual dollars it seems real rough but as a percent the changes are normal.

However, that still doesn't make it hurt any less. :shakes head:

theDreamer 03-18-2012 01:37 PM

$4.05 in Houston today.

andre12031948 03-18-2012 03:31 PM

Its funny that in California the gas is $4.50, but if you drive a few miles south to Mexico, there it is $2.90. Funny? no I think it's sad. Trying to stay within the rules of the forum, I'll just say no comment but I do hope the country makes changes, outherwise gas will be $10 before you know it....

Hope you guys got room for a third:ugh2:

I have nightmares about my ZDAYZ gas bill, I live in fear of it.

andre12031948 04-03-2012 09:15 AM

Oil goes up, oil goes down, but gas price just keeps going up.

In an election year? $10 in 4 years or less.

Gas is cheaper in NJ because of the oil refineries (Gulf)

kenchan 04-03-2012 10:42 AM

Alchemy 04-03-2012 10:53 AM

I paid an arm for gas yesterday. They wanted a leg too but I told them to fvck off.

Bucketlist2012 04-03-2012 11:16 AM

4.45 in california...

I make sure to own Energy Stocks in my Portfolio to offset the madness..

It at the very least,offsets my Energy costs..Will I get rich ? Maybe not, but It makes buying Food and Gas, so much less painful..

I learned this in 2008...My head would explode...The first thing I did was to shift a major chunk of my 401K and my Schwab account to energy...Then I don't lose it when I get Gas, or Food...

Since then it has served me well..

Just my way of keeping my Sanity..and Money...

Oh and Solar guy? My old life...I wouldn't own Green stocks if you gave them to me...Sell...sell...sell....

P.S. Please don't hate me, I am NOT a day trader...I set my course for the long haul by what I see..I hate High speed trading .

I buy and hold. I saw 5 dollar Gas and a crushed dollar, so I bought up to keep my Brains from exploding...
