Your Gas Price

[Bloodstone Press]

I haven't noticed since the hurricane hit, but a few days ago it was about $2.25, I think. I might go out later today, if I do I'll be sure to check the prices.

Ok, there were now several places that were 3.31 today. I saw a few still under 2.90 though. Ugh

Where are you in SC? I am in the Myrtle Beach area of South Carolina. On the way to Conway(just west of us), I saw a station at $2.559 with lines literally around the entire place and into the streets. About 45 minutes later, I saw the same station at $3.229 and the pumps surrounded by police cars (about 4 or 5). Not sure what happened, but when I filled up after that, the stations were running out of gas. The one I went to had only super unleaded at $3.099 and was out of everything else. There were countless people pumping and driving away. It was ugly and I saw two shouting matches while I was filling up.

I'm up near Greenville, SC. About half the stations here are closed down and the other half are charging pretty much whatever they want to. Back home up near Asheville, NC apparently the majority of the stations are shut down or only have super premium. A friend whose family is down near Atlanta was saying that his family couldn't get gas at all yesterday.

Still, mass transportation is a hard sale even here for some people. Some of my friends were pretty keen on getting a car the first opportunity they could afford it.

Not surprising. Mass transit is only cost-effective in very densely populated areas. That's the real reason why good mass transit is rare in the US; most cities in the US sprawl way too much for mass transit to be practical. The exceptions (Boston, NYC, Chicago, and the SF Bay Area) have good mass transit.

 

[drothgery]

Nope. Not anymore.

Not when we had a Texaco charging $3.99 for REGULAR unleaded....

Except when there are disaster-related price spikes in other parts of the country, San Diego is among the most expensive in the US (and it's the most expensive place without a good excuse for it, like being on an island or something).

I just topped off my tank this morning. $2.97 for the cheap stuff at the Sunnoco in Peabody MA.

 

[Hand of Evil]

That's not making me comfortable at all. And getting ready to head down to Atlanta tomorrow afternoon....

Gas prices locally run from $2.99 (in a few spots) to $3.99 with Texaco leading the price gouging market here. That's the only way I can "explain" why their gas is the highest of any station I passed on the way home from Greensboro back to south High Point.

Atlanta is not looking good, here is Columbia SC over 3$ and still raising.

Paid $2.67 per gallon (regular unleaded) yesterday evening in So-Cal; saw prices as high as $2.83 within 2 miles of that station.

Averaging $3.

I'm in Mt. Prospect and it's pretty much the same deal although some have said that they've seen it for $3.50 in the city proper.
