Reality Check: How are gasoline prices in your area?

[CowboyBob]

It jumped 10¢ a gallon yesterday to $3.69 for unleaded regular.

[Jack Springer]

It was $3.49 yesterday--- today it's $3.59

[Jack Springer]

I was in JH's territory today and noticed my gas gauge was very low ... $4.02/gal in Kansas -- made it across the state line to the safety of QT and paid $3.79/gal.

"to the safety of the QT" huh?

Be thankful that they didn't arrest you for putting your "sausage" on their roller grill.

Average price of Regular Unleaded in the Dallas/Fort Worth area?

$3.49 a gallon.

Without or without stations with a Roller Grill.

Ten cents higher in Missouri that HERE in Illinois? WHAT????

[JayQueer]

Funny & sad, at the same time...

[opinterph]

Funny & sad, at the same time...

How so?

[JayQueer]

How so?

Funny, because the owner/operator of the gas station re-posted their prices for gasoline from the day Obama took office in 2009.

Sad, because Obama is achieving what liberals want -- to ultimately set US gasoline prices as high as Europe & Asia. Liberals don't want to drill for oil on US land, not only to save some animal we've never heard of, but because they want to limit the supply of gasoline to American consumers, leaving the gas prices high.

Liberals (& leftist environmentalists) WANT high gasoline prices because they know 2 things will happen:

1) Lower income & lower middle class Americans will drive less, or give up driving altogether in favor of public transport, or staying home.

2) Higher income & upper middle class Americans will purchase luxury hybrid vehicles, or electric cars.

Both 1) and 2) give liberals a hard-on.

Until the Obama administration, the prospect of Americans regularly paying $4 per gallon for gasoline would have been regarded as preposterous. Now, $4 per gallon for gasoline is considered the new "normal".

With liberal Democrat leadership, expect to get used to paying $6 per gallon (& more) soon.

[CowboyBob]

Can't you just give the price of gasoline in your area without Obama or liberal bashing? Good Lord, there sure are some deranged people...



And FYI, President Obama in not a liberal. Just because you continually say he is doesn't make him one.

[JayHawk]

That shit went up around here by 30 cents over night.... whether you are on the east or west side of the dreaded Kansas - Missouri border.... they say it is high demand on the east coast and a slow refinery that is diverting our gas... well fuck the east coast and raise their prices...lol

I topped off all tanks Monday before the price jump

[Quoted Post: Removed]

No, what I posted & discussed is relevant to the discussion of gas prices. The fact remains that if gasoline was $4 per gallon a few years ago, people would have been protesting on the streets. Now, people just quietly accept it.

You know what I think is sqawking nonsense? When people continue to blame Bush for all the country's problems. Would you like to blame Bush for paying under $2 per gallon for gasoline when he was president?

Someone in CE&P referred to Obama as "newly elected." WTF? Obama has been president for 5 years now. Sorry but if you guys get a free pass to push blame on a president 5 years removed from office, then it's certainly "within merit" for me to critique a president who is currently in office.

By the way, as I'm in California, we have the 2nd highest gasoline prices in the country (after Hawaii). Right now near where I am, regular unleaded is $4.10 per gallon & premium unleaded is $4.40 per gallon.

Um.... gasoline WAS over $4.00 a gallon during George W Bush's second term. Remember that, or were you too young to be driving then?

ADDED:

The price plummeted during the last few months when he was in office along with the economy, stock market and housing.

[JayQueer]

Um.... gasoline WAS over $4.00 a gallon during George W Bush's second term. Remember that, or were you too young to be driving then?

Yup, for a short period, and then gasoline prices came back down to under $2 per gallon.

Do you think that's going to happen anytime soon?

LOL

[CowboyBob]

LOL

It was longer than a "short period".

And when prices were that high, did you blame Bush and his right wing cronies with their "conservative" policies for the high prices? I'll bet you didn't.

And stop with all this political nonsense. Get back to topic and talk about your gas prices.

[Jack Springer]

Keep this thread simple guys. Just report the price.

[CowboyBob]

Keep this thread simple guys. Just report the price.

Aye-aye, Sir!

You remember that yourself Springer.

[Centexfarmer]

Keep this thread simple guys. Just report the price.

I say that we should "spice things up a bit" and find out what's available on the Roller Grill too!



Right now the D/FW QT is offering up Chicken Quesadillas and Breakfast Sausage Dogs 2 for $2.

They're also offering up "Texas Tornadoes;" Steak, Egg, and Cheese wrapped in a flour flautas for the same price!

You can't find that kind of eats working rest steps between Kansas and MO at the local White Castle!

I'm just saying.

[Jack Springer]

Aye-aye, Sir!

You remember that yourself Springer.

A little friendly chitchat is ok man. You have a major problem with anything other than abusing people.

[Jack Springer]

White Castle - they left years ago. All QT's are perfect clones of each other except for the new expanded stores with the baristas.

The 79 cent fountain drinks are back.

And it's all the fault of the "liberal gays, and the democrats."

How's that working out for ya?

Somewhere in this forum, it was established that the POTUS has nothing to do with gas prices.

How would you know?

[Rickrock]

About two or three days ago gas proces went from $3.59 to $3.89 per gallon. Yesterday afternoon they went down to $3.88 and to $3.85 today. I found a station today at $3.79 and they gave 4 cents discount if you paid in cash.

[Rolyo85]

Actually, fewer people driving more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly cars is a GREAT thing, and a better developed public transportation system is something the US should be embarrassed for lacking.

And any animal JQ hasn't heard of is worth far more than him driving to the grocery store instead of walking.

[Kulindahr]

Keep this thread simple guys. Just report the price.

Okay.




Looks like about 2000, somonething set prices on an upward climb, until it crashed briefly.

[Kulindahr]

You constantly playing the victim is tiresome.

Bullies like to play victim.

Does that mean something here?

[Kulindahr]

Somewhere in this forum, it was established that the POTUS has nothing to do with gas prices.

You spoil all the fun.














Mr. thread owner.

[Kulindahr]

Everything jumped a dime this week... but the corporates are still almost thirty cents higher than the rest.

[chrisrobin]

You know what I think is sqawking nonsense?

This post.

When people continue to blame Bush for all the country's problems. Would you like to blame Bush for paying under $2 per gallon for gasoline when he was president?

The price of gas was directly related to the worst economic downturn since 1929, thanks to your hero, George W. Bush.

Yes, and I'm going to blame the Germans for the sinking of Lusitania. I'm going to blame the Japanese for the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I'm going to blame Stalin for murdering 20 million of his own people. You might consider this heresy, but I'm going to blame the genocide of indigenous Americans on our noble Westward expansion movement - AKA "taking up the white man's burden." Which means that I'm going to blame Bush 43 for the deaths of 5,484 of our own soldiers and the countless deaths of Iraqui civilians. I'm also going to blame Bush for deliberately violating the Geneva Accords by permitting torture at the behest of John Woo. I'm going to blame Cheney for the outing of Valerie Plame, among other things.

Sorry

Yes you are.

if you guys get a free pass to push blame on a president 5 years removed from office, then it's certainly "within merit" for me to critique a president who is currently in office.

Nobody is playing the "blame game" but you.

By the way, as I'm in California

We already know this.

we have the 2nd highest gasoline prices in the country (after Hawaii). Right now near where I am, regular unleaded is $4.10 per gallon & premium unleaded is $4.40 per gallon.

Wrong again! The price per gallon of gas in metro Chicago runs as high as $4.59 and $4.89 for premium.

Nice try.

[BillyT]

My Hess Station jump 12 cents to $3.29

[bendted]

I paid $3.45 which is embarrassingly cheap. We have it so / too easy here in the US.

[Kulindahr]

Which means that I'm going to blame Bush 43 for the deaths of 5,484 of our own soldiers and the countless deaths of Iraqui civilians.

Just to keep the record complete, don't forget the some sixteen hundred American private contractors working for the military and State Department in Iraq who should be part of that death toll.

[bike10]

Two weeks ago here Missouri Ozarks is was $3.19 since then has jumped to $3.89 and some areas hit $4.00 today. I guess its time to pay the mid yearr bonus payments to CEO's.

[CowboyBob]

It's jumped to an all time high here to $4.19 @ gallon unleaded regular. Ouch.

[AstareGod]

Filled up at the Kangaroo at $3.189 on US 49 near I-10 in Gulfport, MS. One of the lowest prices I've seen in a while. A couple stations near my house are around $3.249.

[Kulindahr]

It dropped nickel a gallon for the holiday weekend!


Big deal.

^bump

The birdies are singing! Gas prices are coming down (nationally). All's right with the world! (except for metro Chicago) where prices have risen about 30 cents per gallon in the last two weeks. 4.49/9 if you're lucky. We're going to hear the same tired excuses: we're processing the "Summer Formula". The Fourth of July is almost here. The sugar crop in Sri Lanka was low. Fewer men entered the priesthood in Guatamala. Blah, blah, blah.

Oil companies such as BP have fucked up the Gulf of Mexico. Oil companies in general pay very few taxes* and the U.S. is hurting for revenue. Profits are at an all-time high. As far as I'm concerned, the "big-boys" of the oil companies can all eat shit and die. ^he inserts clip art of an extended middle digit.

*AKA corporate welfare

[CowboyBob]

It's $3.79 pretty much everywhere in town for a gallon of unleaded regular.

[Jack Springer]

$3.42/gal regular

[AstareGod]

Filled up tonight at a Valero/Kangaroo somewhere in St Charles Parish in Louisiana on my way home from a fun-filled weekend. $3.159. Cheapest I've seen in the area, though I did see $3.159 at a Flying J at Exit 28 on I-10 in Mississippi. Most everywhere else is in the $3.249-$3.339 range.

[Jack Springer]

I paid $2.89 today for regular, slowly going down.

[cityboy-stl]

$2.89 in Saint Louis as well.

[chrisrobin]

Saw 3.45.9 tonight.

Too bad prices are 50 cents higher than the national average.

[Kulindahr]

Dropped to $3.45 yesterday

[72-Jay]

Paid $3.49 monday...but that was for Plus. I don't remember what regular was.
