Gas prices again

**slick** · 05-13-2007, 07:32 PM

$1.30 CDN per litre up here

which is $1.04 per litre US and since there are approx 4 litres in a gallon (or so google says) that would equate $4.16 per gallon

The cheapest here in CT is $3.04/gallon. That's depressing!!!! Especially since most of the price is Connecticut gas tax! UGH!!!

Gas prices in Bowmanville,Ontario are $1.07 a litre here,a little better than British Columbia,the day before it was $1.06 then the day after a $1.07 where it has been for a couple of days.

This was a really strange trip to OK. Normally, the closer to OK I get, the lower the gas prices get. This time it was inverted.

$2.87 in NY (Normally NY has one of the highest prices, especially in the southern tier), and $3.19 in OK when I got here.

$2.89

Poor Michelle. $7?

**Crayons09** · 05-13-2007, 09:32 PM

it is $3.09 here

Last time I filled up it was 2.64 a gallon and I thought that was bad

**cali** · 05-13-2007, 09:39 PM

after conversions it comes to $4.20 USD per gallon here.

**Daisy and Delilah** · 05-13-2007, 09:42 PM

$2.88-$3.07

That's the lowest and highest I saw tonight on my way to my Mom's and back. Most stations are $2.99 and that's what I paid to fill up.

LH: I see the inversion thing here too. Normally, gas is considerably higher towards/in Daytona Beach. Tonight, it was higher close to my house and kept getting lower towards Daytona.

I don't think I've ever seen this happen before.

It's about $3.30+ per gallon here.

But $7?

Outrageous!

Wow that's even higher than up here! We are at 1.19 a litre CDN. We were close to 1.30 last summer. Prices will jump with the start of tourist season in a couple weeks, I'm sure!

The lowest price that I've seen it is $3.37 for regular. Most places are at least in the $3.40's, 50's, or even 60's. Gas is always so much more expensive in CA than in the other states in the United States.

The governor of the State of Connecticut has proposed to the Legislation that the $.25 PER GALLON gas tax be temporarily suspended from Memorial Day until Labor Day to give the folks in the state a break. I don't know why they can't just lower the gas tax permanently or scrap the tax altogether.

It's $3.19 a gallon in Cincinnati.
Here is Northern Kentucky (1/2 hour away from Cincinnati Ohio) it's $2.94 on cheap gas Tuesday with regular price $3.09 and will probably go up again by the weekend. Peeves me off that Exxon this last quarter made a zillion dollar profit.

Regular unleaded YESTERDAY was $3.19 per gallon.

Regular unleaded TODAY is $3.39 per gallon.

Now explain to me, ANYONE, why there can be such a huge jump overnight? I don't get it! I am no economist, but it just doesn't seem like this is feasible, and yet it seems to happen every week or so here. I have found that the prices usually tend to go up on Thursdays, just before the weekend.

I had gotten an email (chain) encouraging people to NOT fill up today to "stick it to the gas people" but a local economist said that won't work because people will just fill up either yesterday or tomorrow. He also said that the prices are somewhat based on supply and demand. So I guess I need to buy a bike and ride that to work.... or use the local bus system. Seems to me like the prices I pay for gas could actually be higher than what I pay for my car insurance!
