$1.799 in Scottsdale, Arizona = $42.10 fill-up (23.4 gallon tank). Highest I've seen in area was $1.839 or so a few months ago...

We're just getting hit with the 1.86 per gallon here in Connecticut...

By Ray on Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 05:25 pm: Edit

well it is $1.79 here in the Carolinas. This may be a godsend in that maybe LR will think of bringing over Diesels, cause no one is going to but them if gas keeps going up.

By weespeed on Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 05:26 pm: Edit

$2.15 (yikes) here in California, Bay Area...

By wes on Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 05:57 pm: Edit

$1.99 for 92 is the cheapest i've seen here in the bay area for quality (shell gas?). wee, this is a station off of davis street across from BART-San Leandro.

$1.74 in good ole' OKC Oklahoma, has anyone heard that it is goint to get higher? will it stay that high? opinions here..............

By Chris on Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 06:13 pm: Edit

I just payed 1.71 for 93 octane at diamond shamrock here in Ft. Worth, TX but I have seen it around 1.86 at other gas stations in the area.

By Brad Bradford (Brad) on Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 07:44 pm: Edit

In Tennessee I am paying $1.69, and if I drive 30 minutes to Georgia it is about $1.60 or so for 93.

Ok, so what are gas prices like in other parts of the world?

By Brad Bradford (Brad) on Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 08:49 pm: Edit

Last I heard it was running around $6.00 a gallon in the UK.

By John C. on Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 09:00 pm: Edit

$4.00 a gallon in Uruguay South America. It cost me over $50 to fill the tank on a VW Gol a few years ago. Stop complaining guys...it could be worse.... :0

I realize that prices are very high, but i could be worse

BTW, minimum wage in Uruguay is around $100 US dollars a month....

I'm in heaven.....

By Antony K on Wednesday, April 25, 2001 - 08:52 am: Edit

Currently £3.42/$4.82 per gallon in the UK for orninary Unleaded 92 RON. More for Super Unleaded.

Calculated at 4.5 litres to a gallon.

It's about $2.21 gallon of LPG here so it's worth me converting to dual fuel as soon as I can.

By Milan on Wednesday, April 25, 2001 - 11:22 am: Edit

Just to make a comment...If we don't complain it will get worse. You can't constantly compare yourself to places that are "worse off" or you will stop being "better off".

You know it's getting bad when there was a line around the block last night at the Exxon for $1.959 Premium Unleaded.

$3.00 here we come!!!

Los Angeles, CA

By John C. on Wednesday, April 25, 2001 - 11:42 am: Edit

You are correct Milan. The complaining should be done to the people or companies that charge us for gas.

I only use my Rover occasionally during the week (I take the subway to work) and on weekends. My wife doesn't know how to drive and walks my kids to school everyday rain or shine or snow (damn, she should work for the post office).

What else could we do to keep the price of fuel down? Would boycotting fuel for a day or two help bringing the price down?

What do you guys think?

Heard that a Tosco refinery in LA exploded. Man gas is gonna go up even higher now. Can't even drive the Disco anymore. Oh well, weathers good so get to ride the bike. Costco gas is pretty cheap in the Bay area. San leandro Costco last I checked was $1.89 fo 92, but it changes daily.

Boycotting is effective, but good luck mobilizing a few million people for an extended period of time in a typical large US metropolitan area. That's what it'll take to make a difference.

Yeah, Tosco had a fire, and we'll pay for it...is there really a connection between Tosco's perceived revenue loss from the fire and higher prices at the pump? That's the billion dollar question that the gov't has been investigating (aka price gouging).

What it really comes down to is a successful and collective effort on the part of the major oil co.s to screw us out of a few more dollars. They do it because they can. My biggest clients are major oils, and you should hear the way they talk behind closed doors...

There are big differences in prices at different stations. Gas is gas until it gets branded. Texaco feels justified in selling theirs for $0.10 more per gallon than Diamond Shamrock because of the additives. I've had bad experiences running on high octane from some of the cheaper stores (Diamond Shamrock, AM PM, Tosco-Circle K, etc.). My Disco loves to suck up Equilon (Texaco) gas.

Who was it from across the pond that said we should stop complaining? I'm not complaining, I'm just curious. $1.80 to travel 13 miles is fine by me. I just don't like getting screwed at the pump if there's no justification for raising price (hence the term "screw"). I prefer to be screwed by my Land Rover service dept.

By Bill B on Wednesday, April 25, 2001 - 02:09 pm: Edit

Kind of amusing the government investigating "price-gouging" when you look at the dollar percentage of tax in a gallon of gas! Pot calling the kettle black on that one :-)

By Mike on Wednesday, April 25, 2001 - 04:37 pm: Edit

In Chicago city limits it's around $2.25/gallon; in the suburbs it's $2.10. Blame local/state/federal governments for making us use reformulated gasoline in IL & WI. Blame OPEC for reducing production when demand is on the rise. Blame the federal government & environmentalists for not allowing us to drill for oil in our own country. The oil companies are just passing the buck.

By Paul on Wednesday, April 25, 2001 - 04:44 pm: Edit

Mikey, your probably the same guy who is boycotting any new refineries, drilling in ANWR, tighter control on pollution, etc, etc. It cant have you cake and eat it too.....

I've seen it as low as $1.59 at Cosco for 91 OC (92 for lower elevations).

By wes on Thursday, April 26, 2001 - 03:03 am: Edit

how's the quality of Costco branded gas? Is it equivalent to Chevron or is it more like Arco or Beacon?

By E Snyder on Thursday, April 26, 2001 - 08:21 am: Edit

Exxon/Mobil had the largest profits of any company in US history last year. $210 billion, if my facts are anywhere close to right. Once I heard that, I had to quit blaming OPEC. Our own companies are doing it to us, just because they can.

By venezuelan on Friday, April 27, 2001 - 11:43 am: Edit

you figure how much exxon and the rest do to you... venezuela is part of the OPEC and belive me.. you are paying what American companies want you to pay not the OPEC the OPEC protects our 3rd world countries from the Yank's opression... it's all about proffit. you get used to pay HUGE amounts of money for gas then they blame the OPEC for it... then oil prices go down and you never see that reflected in your prices..

so.. $0.25 USD per US gallon is what we pay here for 95 OCtane.... atart bithcing now at the OPEC..

I pay ~1.90 in CO suburbs. I try to buy from the 'unmanned' Costco pumps whenever I can--always cheaper than anywhere else. ?? makes you wonder about gas companies claiming their profit only comes from the convenience products.
