Thread: Gas Price Pa

Tweet

A neat web location to look at gas prices is "xxgasprices.com" where xx is a major city. For instance, "dallasgasprices.com" pops up a page with gas prices for Dallas Texas. You can graph the historical prices and also graph them relative to two other cities.....

In lafayette Indiana it was 3.30 for 87 octane yesterday, and down to 3.13 for the same today. about friday it will be back at 3.30 for the weekend.

Where I live it is 3.19, 3.34, 3.44. We are about .10 higher than most places around here. If I go to Memphis(about 60 miles North) I always fill up. It's usually .15 cheaper there.

A real pain in the behind driving home from KCMO today. I noticed a lot of the independent truckers were driving unusually slow, blocking lanes etc. Not too bad but noticable. I think they were protesting the high cost of diesel fuel. I feel for them but, good luck with all that. I did notice a train of about 20-25 hotrods and kustoms out in a driving rainstorm around Eufaula Ok. That was cool

Sorry for hijacking the thread......

Angie, Didn't I see your truck at the CoonAss a few years back??? (a week before Katrina, actually). I think I talked with you and your husband. You also had a matching trailer to tow behind the truck. You heading down to Hammond in a few weeks? I can't make it this year. Hope you have good weather for the event.

BTW, welcome to CHR!

on my way to work this morning $3.19, on the way home this evening,same place,$3.29,and of couse I'm on empty

a buddy send this a few of this to me..

$2.989 for 87 at the Indian Reservation in Governeur. Ethenol is 60¢ less OR $2.79 in Western NY at 3 stations NOT on the REZ....
Ethenol= 2mpg LESS, smells like blacktop gas, and burns real hot, cooks the oil and is spoda be the coming lifesaver in NY.. Yeah Right..

Most of my puzzlment goes not to gas companies but to the buttheads on the streets that bitch about the gas prices but then go out and pedal like they got John Force's budget for nitro.

Light changes, accelerate like you and Brandon Bernstein are in finals at Pomona- next light already red 500 feet away.

On the freeway the mofo is on and off the throttle and brakes like a funny car in tire shake due to traffic flow so he can gain 50 feet in 1/2 a mile.

The complainers about gas prices have no idea when they last checked their tire pressure for optimum performance and unless some light tells them have never had anything like a "tune up " performed on their crate.

And as they drive on the streets they are actively accelerating 150 feet from a stop sign and have no concept what coasting or freewheeling is.

If the a-holes that do this stuff actually learned how to drive they could save a gallon or 2 per tank at least. But no, it's more logical to blame somebody else and play the victim.

I see that all the time - and often from those drivers in cars that are but a step or two from the salvage yard. I have a gas hog and drive it like I have a raw egg under my right foot - and of course get the nasty looks from the soccer moms in their Expeditions, Escalades and minivans rushing their kids from one activity to another. The worst seem to be the diesel pick up truck owners that want to "show" me in my V10 how great their trucks are - with their $4.39 fuel vs my $3.32 gas and their 12 mpg vs. my 12 mpg. Oh yeah. then there are the M-B, BMW and Lexus owners.........

Dave, we must be driving the same roads and living the same lives. The crap you have witnessed and the conclusions drawn are virtually the same down here where I am. Just this morning I watch a DA in a honda lying less than a foot off of the rear bumper of a van both moving along at 80 mph. I would have loved to see what would have happened if the van driver had hit the brakes to take a call.

I don't have that many years left in my life to act like a fool behind the wheel of any car.

I'm 2 miles from I-87 and see those idjits do that all the time. Luckily I drive a BIG pick up truck and for sure will do more damage to them if they tailgate and I have to stop quick - I think it's an epidemic attitude

Its April 9th and its 3.45 for 87 octane in Lafayette Indiana.

319 right now

Down here in NZ,we are currently paying about $1.80 per litre for 91 octane,and $1.88 a litre for 95 octane,that works out at about NZ$6.84 a US gallon,and NZ$7.14 a US gallon for 95 octane.Convert that to US$ at todays exchange rate..NZ $1.27 for a US dollar. About$8.68 a gallon for 91 and $9.07..
We are expecting it to be NZ$2 a litre by the end of the month.
That is why the F100 is running on LPG.Only NZ$1.08 per litre.
