Title: Gas prices suck!
Post by: neokellyzero on August 03, 2006, 04:14:33 PM: $2.96 for unleaded at the pump today in Cincinnati. Too bad I have to use premium-$3.16 a gallon blows. What can you do though- What are prices like for everyone else?

It peaked out at $3.50 about a month ago. An hour north or south from here the gas is 30 cents cheaper. >< stupid monopoly in my county. :evil:

Post by: rolins on August 08, 2006, 06:12:12 AM: Oxnard, CA = $3.13
Northridge, CA = $3.29

I hear the oil pipeline from Alaska is being closed down for repairs, which might bring prices up to $3.75 here in CA. I seriously got to hookup with someone to carpool with.

Post by: takashirose on August 08, 2006, 08:01:38 AM: Are those "Super" prices or just the "regular" unleaded prices? Because in Saddle Brook New Jersey, "Super" prices are around $3.16 and "regular" is $2.99.

Those prices I listed are for regular only.

Post by: cavein2000 on August 15, 2006, 02:08:10 PM: 3.15 for reg today, about 3.24 about a week or two ago (Long Island, NY). That's where I get gas though, at an Exon or Mobil its about 5 to 10 cents more.
