Gas prices near you...

[Deleted]

I'm in Southern California and our gas prices have risen 50 cents in a week. It is insane. I'm hearing it is a local thing, though and that prices are normal (ish) elsewhere?

I paid $4.55 on Sunday morning.

How much is gas where you are?

ETA* I just found this in a local news article:
"There are lingering questions as to what is behind the dramatic increase in cost. Refinery problems have been cited, but California Sen. Dianne Feinstein says the record prices may be the result of an illegal short squeeze engineered by the handful of companies that refine gas in California. Feinstein has called on the Federal Trade Commission to monitor energy prices and production and watch for malicious and manipulative trading practices."

$4.49 at the gas station nearest to us, but only $3.89 at the gas station right through the Holland Tunnel in NJ (unfortunately, there's a $12 toll involved if we don't have another reason to be in NJ).

$3.40 (for regular) - Dallas

[Awkward]

There's a huge variance right now near me in NH. Gas near work is $3.89, 5 miles away near my house is $3.83, 3 miles from there near the grocery store it's $3.71!

[kadams767]

I paid $3.54 for regular this morning in Florida. That's probably the cheapest around here though, the gas stations right by my house were $3.60-3.67.

4.65 in Central. CA. Up from 4.05 8 days ago.

I am using this to justify not driving to the gym. Not cool.

[LoveTrains]

[mrssavy42112]

$3.70-79 in NNJ.

[takeonyou]

$3.74 for diesel this morning. I think regular gas was $3.83 in Central NJ (between Philly and trenton)

[schrodinger]

ARB just agreed to switch to winter blending specs, so relief should be on the way. NW WA prices are $3.97/gal at the moment, but the PNW markets are chasing CARBOB prices up, so I don't expect them to stay this low for this long.

[falada45]

$3.59 for regular gas in a suburb of KCMO.

[stingsharkruns]

btwn $3.85 - $4.05 for premium (which is what I use)

Lovely.

It was $3.89 in my neck of the woods this morning (metro boston), it's usually 10-20 cents cheaper out where I work.

Gas prices are making me REALLY appreciate my hybrid. I have a 30 mile commute (each way), and still spend less than $40/wk on gas. I usually get 500 miles on my 10 gallon tank.

3.62 in NC

Gas prices make me really appreciate my MetroCard The only year I drove regularly was my senior year of high school, and I think gas was about $1.10 a gallon back then!!!
