Gas Prices

#21 Postby **azskyman** » Wed Aug 20, 2003 8:43 am

There is a website we can check gas stations within about 30 minutes of me. Waited last night until one of them announced they had a new shipment of gas, arrived at the ARCO at 9:43 with 60+ cars in my line, and three lines going. Couldn't tell what the price of gas was from where I started...in fact, noticed someone ahead of my ordered a pizza and had it delivered to their car!!!

At 10:59, arrived at the gas pump to a pleasant surprise, only $1.99! Filled up the car and off I went.

The guy in front of me had a convertible. I did count 6 cigarettes in one hour, though, for him along with a full CD of Aerosmith to keep all of us awake until our turn!

Have the other car to fill tonight. Thought maybe I'd take my laptop along and watch a DVD!

That station, by the way, is shrouded in yellow tape this morning...as every station was that I saw on the way in to work.

As i figured when i got about 7 miles away from town here headed towards Columbus gas prices are running at 1.52..................Which means as usuall we here in town are paying .17 cents more a gallon of gas then most of the rest of the state..........................

I sure am glad that my job is only 5 minutes away.....I can fill up my Ford Ranger and go for almost 4 weeks before I need more!!

I saw on the news last night that you guys are getting hosed for about $3.80! :o Supposedly the gas line that was closed down for safety concerns is supposed to reopen shortly. Our prices have gone up about 8 to 10 cents since last week.

The price of gas at the Wal-Mart minutes from my house is $1.599, up from the mid $1.50's I mentioned last week.

It's around the $1.50's here in Galveston for the regular...higher for supreme.

What's up with that? I'm in Texas.

Got gas this morning...short line, but still a line. Pumps ran dry one by one as I filled the tank. All was well when I was able to get 12 gallons. $1.95 a gallon.

Station was totally closed up within the hour.

Some of the gas stations this morning looked like they shot up their prices another 5 cents! :o

Just went through town. Of the three places there, the cheapest was at 1.61 for regular. The highest for regular unleaded was 1.79 with 1.99 for premium

Seems the crisis for Phoenix is slowing down *some*........at least that's what their showing on tv! Now.....our prices, "$1.99" for the cheap stuff, 2.29$ for the medium grade, $2.59 for premium. With the crisis and these prices, I expect the Labor Day weekend to be a HUGE FLOP!!!! First the Rodeo Fire last year, the Kinishba Fire this year and now getting RAPPED by the oil companies.........all I can say, it's looks like the *time to answer* to a higher source is coming quick and YES......they "WILL" have to answer!!!

Once again the oil companies have to have their astronomical earnings - in other words they are greedy SOB's in my book. I have become such a homebody its not even funny. Our gasoline right now in Houston is running in the $1.45 area and up!!!!

$1.40 for regular as of today (I DO hope this is reflected in my quarterly oil/gas production checks, which range within an average of about $120 every three months or so, depending on what they actually pump out of the lease properties).

"Awwww.....isn't that sweet?" The dirty, rotten JERKS are so graciously dropping the prices now that Labor Day is over........they actually dropped the prices "2" whole CENTS.....we're at 1.77$ a gallon! Isn't that NICE of the oil companies??? "JERKS!"

I was 100% correct, our gas "DOES" indeed come from New Mexico, which BTW..their gas prices just across the border (45 miles to my east) are $1.39 gallon....."@#$&*(^$"

I heard that there is now an informal investigation as to why the prices of gas went up so high even with the peak prices for the holidays. Alot of investigators believe it is price gouging. I agree. Gas for regular is 1.65 a gallon here in MS. It is ridiculous.

I agree Lindaloo. Okay, we know there's a problem with a pipe in AZ. Then there was the blackout that occured on August 14 - almost 3 weeks ago. I can MAYBE understand alittle blip in the prices due to disruption in service, but if it's taking them THAT LONG to get the service back to normal, there's something terribly wrong with the way Big Oil does business.

Our prices have increased about 15 cents since before the blackout. We all know what they did to the people of AZ.

I say investigate away! :grr:

I know Steph... that is probably why they are calling it an "informal" invest. LOL!! They need to hurry up and find out what is going on.

What is going on is that there a few oil co. execs laughing at us while they collect extra profits. I hope that gas prices come down soon.
