In my town when I was going to work this am, it was $3.86, and tonight it is $4.00.  My GF paid $4.17 near Chicago this am, and it was $3.92 there last night.

The Holiday weekend is here, so it'll probably go higher. :roll:

odd, how AZ usually is near the top of gasoline prices.... I paid 3.58 a few days ago at Costco for regular gasoline.

diesel is still at 4.10 to 4.40 a gallon.

a fellow at work installed a 100 gallon tank in his truck bed.  He buys diesel in Mexico at 2.10 a gallon

Do you guys use this map to find gas prices? http://www.michigangasprices.com/price_by_county.aspx

If you zoom in far enough it will name the gas stations and show prices.  Many times I've saved $.20 or more per gallon if I check prices before a trip.  Our town is always higher so whenever I'm going out of town it's nice to know where the cheap gas is.

I usually buy my gas at Sam's Club here in town. Their price "adjustment" is 10AM the day after everyone else goes up. I filled up early this morning for $3.87 & 9/10's. $0.31 cheaper.

There is a theory that oil is created by the planet and is not decayed dinosaurs or bio-matter. It is called abiotic-oil. One story goes that an oil well had run it's course and was only producing 10% of it's peak output and was shut down. As the price rose the company decided to start this well again. Guess what ,the field had refilled and was back at peak production. Of couse this information was withheld from the public(us). more on this at

I have read this theory, and background on it before. It does explain why oil is found where geologically it should not be found, and why the deeper they drill, the more oil they find.

I would not be so sceptical, if the people who say we are running out of oil, or the ones that are talking global warming, did not have their own agenda.

well there's this fence you see and on one side are the oil people and on the other side are the greenies and it's in both of their interest that we have this conflict if you know what I mean. :(U)  :b-d:

Up here in Canada the latest is $1.39.9 / liter for regular, so that's about $5.64 / gallon, one of our gallons. Premium is another .12 or so, so that's over $6.00 !  Most of the runs we've got planned this summer are into the northwest states cuz of this.

It just hit 3.99.9 at my local cheapo station this am for 87 octane, which is sort of strange cause Cali always seems to have the nations highest gas prices. What really upsets me is retailers raising the price of existing inventory. I've seen stations increase their prices three times in one day.

regular gas £1.14.9, premium £1.19.9, diesel £1.25.9, all prices per litre, thats roughly $8.56, $8.94, $9.38 per US Gallon respectively.

Our government currently have plans to add 2 pence per litre to that price in October, although right now that'd be suicide (our PM is holding on by his fingernails as it is).

All the information I read is the commodity traders are pushing up prices with speculation on oil. Just depends on when the bubble bursts and if the drop in price gets passed on...

I have been giving this problem quite a bit of thought this weekend. I understand that the price of oil has been boosted by a number of things. First, the market has expanded due to India, China and other countries industrial growth. Second, the value of the dollar is down. Third, and most important is speculators running the price up. Now, the larger market created by India and China is a fact. As is the decline of the dollar. I find it hard to believe that these two factors have caused the price of oil to increase at the rate it has. The growth of these two countries has not exploded, rather, a slow, steady growth has occurred. The dollar has fallen, but not plummeted. That leaves the speculators. These individuals that seemingly have no loyalty or concern for anyone apart from their wallet, are, in my opinion the force behind the prediciment that we are in. I understand that since the real estate market went south, many of the investors have moved from real estate to oil.  We can see where they are taking us now. Our homes are no longer the security that they once were. It just comes down to good old greed. If you want a good scare, check the price of gold, remembering that it is the standard of wealth. The value of gold has not increased. It just takes a lot more dollars to buy and ounce.

A pal just gassed up here in Victoria BC today - 1.519 / liter of good stuff, which is 5.889 / US gallon, and 6.839 / imperial gallon. Hell, life's short so it ain't gonna keep my coupe in the garage or cut down on road trips........just have one less Starbuck's coffee!
