Seems lower than the average was in the USA in 2010

April or May of 2009 seems the last time we've had comparable pricing nationally

 

[Nelo Ice]

I won't be on the "holy shit" train until it drops below $2 in California.

If that happens I'll be legit shook.

 

[Yaboosh]

If that happens I'll be legit shook.

It is like $2.05 in the Bay Area right now. It is going to happen. Brace yourself.

 

[MIMIC]

It was just $1.91 two days ago. Shit is still droppin, lol

 

[MIMIC]

I swear the gas stations near me are competing. I drove by a Marathon and it was $1.85. lol

And to clarify, I live in Riverview, FL (which is a small city near Tampa)

 

[Poodlestrike]

This isn't going to be a popular sentiment, but now is the perfect time to raise the gas tax. Falling prices means the perceived cost will quickly vanish, and god knows the highways need the money.

I wish they would do this here in Ruskin (about 10 minutes south). We just got under $2 a few days ago, but still haven't gone under $1.90. Luckily I have to drive through Brandon and Tampa, which has been cheaper for a long time.

Or you know, we could just actually use the existing gas tax towards the roads.

 

[Walter White Walker]

Well crap that didn't take any time - we briefly had gas prices of $1.99 a gallon here like a month ago and now it's back up to $2.71.

If you're in California it's because 17% of the refinery production was taken offline by the oil cartel

I paid $3.63 per gallon last night! And that's with oil being around $50 a barrel! WTF...

 

[H3xum]

Gas in my area went up about 20% over the last 2 days. It's disappointing.

California is always a special case because we are an isolated market. We are isolated geographically due to the mountains & deserts and we are isolated due to our special california blend. And on top of that, we just had a refinery explode.

You can set your garden sprinkler system by the annual refinery explosion and unexpected maintenance shut downs

 

[Mackenzie 92]

Back up to about $3.10 for me here in the butthole of Cali, Fresno. Feels bad man.

 

[DrM]

Still 1.30 € for one liter of 95 around here.

 

[Shalashaska]

This is like the game prices in Canada that took forever to be equal to the American prices when the $ was equal for a while, then the second it shifts, the prices jump back up.

Our prices have jumped around 30%.

Washington State.

Yep, same here near Bellevue

I miss the good old days already

We're always special for one reason or another that ends up hurting when it comes to cost.

Gas went up $1.10 or so in the last few weeks.

 

[K.Sabot]

Should have invested into long term fuel storage...

would have saved me a ton even if I had to deal with all the doomsday prepper garbage.

 

[SDCowboy]

$3.07 for premium gas at Costco in the East Bay Area.

We're so close to sub $3 that I can smell the gas....

What? I live In San Diego and I filled up at Costco a few weeks back for around $2.25 for regular and we have the most expensive gas in the country. It's gone up since then though. I think it's back up over $3.

CA gas is the most expensive because of the taxes and because we have that ethanol GARBAGE put into it.

 

[gooface]

yeah in WA (east pierce county) Prices are between $2.40 and $2.99 again... that was way too short...

 

[Robot Pants]

Exactly. How convenient.

 

[SDCowboy]

edit: never mind

 

[Exokell]

Fuck men, pumped gas last night and premium was at 3.90. Fuck this shit.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Still siting in Atlanta at $2.30 a gallon.

 

[ghostofsparta]

Fuck men, pumped gas last night and premium was at 3.90. Fuck this shit.

Same here in California.

Welp, it was nice while it lasted.

 

[Corran Horn]

Paid like 3.70 last night in cali, made me think about this thread. It was a glorious short period of cheap gas.

 

[davepoobond]

Can't let those shale oil companies go under anymore now.

That refinery explosion was very convenient, ill have to agree

 

[gcubed]

and isn't their a floating gax tax based on cap and trade or something

 

[AlphaSnake]

Central, FL.

Premium is about ~$2.70

 

[Nori Chan]

3.40 at the cheapest here in so cal


I'm so mad I couldn't experience less than 2 like other people

 

[Purple Cheeto]

It's just over $3.10 in my neighborhood. At its lowest got down to about $2.40 I think.

 

[statham]

Filled up on 87 @ $2.34, northern Florida, not bad.

 

[jamesinclair]

Thats around 7 cents worth and took place on Jan 1.

 

[Maengun1]

It's been on the rise again where I am (midwest US). The lowest I ever saw it get was $1.91...it was only below 2 for a week, if that. $2.44 today.

 

[Ultima_5]

[dreamcastfan]

Where are all the "thanks Obama" commenters now?

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Prices trying to creep back up. Down to 1.8 at one point and now back up to 2.2+ and climbing.
