...especially the figure at the bottom...:eek:

Holly gas tank, we've been screwed . . .

where is that?

Funny how the retailers cling to the increasingly insignificant "nine tenths" marketing convention.

Edit: Regular gas here in the southeast is around $1.60. At $2.00, I'll start flying rather than driving for work since the mileage rate just wont cut it for me. Also, I'm tired of the constant "wall" of tractor-trailers I encounter.

Nice premium for Full Serve! One fill up per hour and the "petroleum transfer technician's" salary is more than covered! My kind of business.

It was the lead photo on CNN on line.

EDIT: Shoot! I just realized you might have meant "where" as for where in the country. -- I don't know. Maybe So. Cal. :(

I thought you were amazed about a gas station still offering "full" service. Ain't seen that in a while 'round here.

I paid $2.39 for regular unleaded two weeks ago on the way to Tahoe, ouch!

That pic is from a Unocal station in Redondo Beach.

Yes, California.

On the bright side...if there is one..after adjusting for inflation, gas is still cheaper than the early '80s.

2.33 for premium? We are still paying 1.97 for 93 here in CT

Hey, even in Jersey the price is up, but we have mandatory full serve... so now price difference...I think 93 is up to around 1.70 near my house....

The difference is really amazing when you drive cross country. Some states really lay on the gas taxes, dont they?

funny, that reminds me of a friend's first date.... the next morning everyone ambushed him with questions, "did you kiss her?"
"yes"
"WHERE?!!!????"
"on the porch...."
"NO DUMBASS, where on her face?"


back on topic, we are screwed gas price-wise in california. just take you own lube to the station when you fill up. no.....the lube is not for the car!

Time to buy a Buell?

Interesting anectdote. 100 octane racing gas @ Thunderhill was $5/gallone when I filled up @ 8:00am. When I topped off at 3:00 or so, they'd raised it to $5.20/gal!

Anyone know what AvGas is going for? The 100LL (blue) stuff?

I have a friend that I work with who flies in daily from Ontario to Santa Monica daily.
