CP_fan_boy Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 In Manistee, gas jumped 50 cents in one day! It went up to $3.48 for the cheap stuff. It is almost a one company show up here. I watched the local news and they said that gas was only supposed to be $3.27. So, that company should be in trouble for gas gouging.
KrakenKing Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 It's going be over $3 here tomorrow, all the gas stations are out of gas now, the lines were around 30min to an hour wait to get gas... it's insane! Driving is over rated anyways Bikes are much better! *Hops on bike and rides to work*
Angry_Gumball Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 To be honest, I highly doubt we'll ever see gas below $2.00. Time they start making more electric cars and dropping gas powered cars.
Sir Clinksalot Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 I was going to stop and get gas on my way to work this evening ... 7:30 at night, there was a HUGE line for people to pay $2.86 for Gas. All other stations around the area were $3.00. What are prices like in the Philly/DC area??? Anyone? Gregg "Just trying to figure out how much we are going to get hit with Gas prices on our trip" C.
Jose Eber Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Fox was showing over $6 a gallon for the premium outside of Atlanta (across the street, it was $5 -- so we are getting close to you Soren!) At Disney Epcot and MK (HESS) its 2.99 premium as of 10 p.m. tonight. a) I'm glad I work from home and b) I'm glad I have a scooter to take me to close places if I need to go somewhere and c) I guess I'm glad I can actually walk pretty much anywhere in town. for a movie -- groceries -- etc. Let's hear it for new urbanist stuff...I think. Wow. Feel for you folks who have to drive to work, and drive far. And I guess I'm glad I got rid of my sports car when I did -- friggen 17/22 mpg gas whore!
CoasterJunkie Posted September 1, 2005 Author Posted September 1, 2005 I will be traveling to the Philly area in a few weeks and the gas prices there I believe are about $2.60 or higher. Then I hear on the radio this morning that gas has reached over $4 a gallon and people are getting so angry, they are getting out of there cars and hitting the pumps with wrenches and such. So how long before airline tickets skyrocket?
Bubba Z Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) gas just hit 3.15, it was just 2.49 monday. I live in Jersey 5 miles from Philly. Philly i think is near 3.35 Edited September 1, 2005 by Bubba Z
Token Yankee Guy Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 ^^ it goes to show you that we need alternative fuel sources now. I think I watched some news special where someone was able to run a car off water.
Token Yankee Guy Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Gas went up another .06 cents in Connecticut. 2 cents above the US Average. Thank God I filled up my car earlier in the week before prices sky rocketed
CoasterEricHP Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 $4-$5 a gallon down there in Georgia!?! They have pictures from different areas on AOL.. Here are some of the Premium Prices: Jonesboro, GA - $5.19 Long Island, NY - $3.59 Michigan - $3.71 Lauren, SC - $4.99 Long Beach, CA - $3.99 (thats odd...) I drive a '02 Celica which gets really good gas mileage and got gas the other night for $2.69. Last night it was $2.96 here in PA. We're 8 miles from the MD line and 45 from Baltimore so hopefully the DC area insanity won't reach up this far. Luckily I'm helping do construction work this summer/fall and ride my bike there.. and then am too tired to have much of a life. I agree though. Maybe people will stop driving the short distances and ride a bike or walk. As much as this sucks for commuters and vacationers, it can really only help some of the health problems this country has... aka being LAZY, and people not knowing how to relax and actually take some time to enjoy things. Eric
CoasterCrazy Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 The gas station that I drive by on my way to college is selling it for $3.30. And I filled my car up at the same gas station yesterday for $2.80 a gallon.
CoasterJunkie Posted September 1, 2005 Author Posted September 1, 2005 Just heard that the Port of TampaBay is going to not be getting any shipments of gas. Many gas stations here in my town are out of gas. Things are going to get ugly soon.
Hattuchili Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Okay, it is time to start crying! Today I had to pay 1.41 EUR for 1 liter gas. That is 5,32 EUR = 6,66 USD for 1 gallon normal gas. :shock: --Sören
Angry_Gumball Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Overnight, gas shot up from $2.89 up to $2.99 for regular unleaded. Tomorrow, it will probably skyrocket once again.
WalrusMan Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=1756&e=1&u=/050901/480/gagb10409010035 Doesn't look so strange after seeing some of these posts. Gas here on a public site is averaging 2.962. People go on there and post the prices that they see. and it's been going up quickly since a few days ago, and It'll keep on going up I know. Saw prices at 3.09 this afternoon where I passed at 2.85 this morning.
BarryH Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 How is the gas in Orlando? I'm not concerned about the cost, but the availability. I might be headed up this Labor Day, but I might have to cancel out if there is a shortage in the city. I need gas to get back home!
spike Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 We have gas but its $5.30 a gallon, We are now spending about $600. a month for the 2 of us JUST to go back and forth to work . TP trips will be very limited now if this keeps up.
FlyingScooter Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 I just heard this morning on the ride int work that Pres Bush wants us to limit driving to conserve gas. Are we having an oil crisis now?
Token Yankee Guy Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 ^ You can sorta say we are having an oil crisis. But this spike in price is all because of the hurricane.
Hattuchili Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 The price went up, again! Yesterday we had 6.66 USD for 1 gallon normal gas. Today we have 6,90 USD for 1 gallon normal gas. It looks like it will never stop. That is really a big problem at the moment. Thanks Katrina! --Sören
SharkTums Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 This morning I paid $2.98 and had to wait in line!!! The funny thing is our gas price is actually lower than my family in Florida's for pretty much the first time EVER! They're paying $2.99!
benzo41190 Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 ours is up to 3.45 for regular. Im so glad i dont have a Hummer. -Hummers suck
disneyfan1313 Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Gas in Orlando seems to be $2.89-$3.15 - No problems with lines or shortages.
