Just wondering what gas prices are for everyone....Some full service stations, (yes full service), I thought that type of service went by the way side the same time the 8 tracker players went off the market, in downtown Chicago for premuim are at $4.79.9 a gallon, non full service prices at $3.99.9. Out in the 'burbs, where I live, regular unleaded $3.39.9 a gallon..yikes!!!! I hope this doesn't hamper Webb in making the rounds this year....I'm willing to throw a in a few extra bucks towards Webb to help in covering transportation cost next time around......

Right now most stations (here in central Nebraska) are at about $3.199/gal, self service here. The full service stations are pretty much the way of the dinosaur. I guess most people around here are either farmers or they work with the farmers and getting a little gas on them wouldn't hurt them and could possibly improve the aroma. Ha! I'm kidding. (I work in the farming industry myself.) But there are few that don't physically work for a living and pumping gas is no big deal.

Out in Oregon, there are no self serve gas stations, all full serve...makes jobs.....

Hey Jo you could be like me and commute 50 miles to work every day (one way) to the big O.

Here in NE Arkansas, it's $3.25 for regular.

Oklahoma City: $3.13.9 a gallon, yesterday $3.05.9 at the same station. Tommorrow, who knows?????????????

I filled up today at $3.139 at the Sheetz down the street from my office. Roanoke usually has pretty good (relatively) prices; there are three pipeline terminals in town or nearby.

Its hit or miss here in KC. The lowest this week is $3.15 a gallon. Shop around. It can go up from $3.10 in the morning to $3.19 in the afternoon at the same station. From Raytown to Excelsior Springs where my folks live it can vary as much at $.10 a gallon. Go figure. 35 miles apart. Part greed part reality. And I don't take green or red pills, and I do shave my legs and underarms.

I paid 3.24/gallon last night to fill up here in Roanoke -- I don't have a Sheetz on my side of town Snake!

Houston, TX
Last week I filled up @ $3.21 regular, two days later it was $3.30. Yesterday it was $3.29. I heard it will be $4 by July, I'm thinking it will be soner than that!

I saw $3.05 in Spartanburg, SC yesterday. What is up with diesel? $4.00 a gallon in some spots. Who is ready to march on Washington? I am!!

In St. Louis it went up to $3.39 yesterday, I hear it is $3.47 across the river in Illinois - yikes!

Tony said: I saw $3.05 in Spartanburg, SC yesterday. What is up with diesel? $4.00 a gallon in some spots. Who is ready to march on Washington? I am!!

I say: With gas prices the way they are, the most economic thing to do is march TO Washington and then march ON Washington. Or at the very least, we should carpool.

We will take Amtrak.

It's $3.26 here in Union. My mom lives in Belle Mo. and she said it is $3.19. Lets March Susan.....Iam with ya...this is gettin out of hand.

Debb.

Pushin' $3.50 for regular unleaded here in the Milwaukee area. Blechh...

Can't wait for the production version of the Chevy Volt to come out... I just hope it's under $30k.

Are you driving, Tony?

what are y'all moaning about ?
it's 1.09 pounds a litre in scotland
equals $2.18 a litre !
4.55 litres in a gallon
equals $2.18 times 4.55
equals $9.92 per gallon ! ! !

Just spoiled, whiney Yanks we, Colin! :-)

BTW, $3.239 in Kingsport TN ... well, a few hours ago ...

Colin, what percentage of that is taxes?

"Colin, what percentage of that is taxes?"

About 90% between fuel tax and VAT.
Just a slight correction to Colin's figures - US and imperial gallons are different, and there's only 3.785 litres to a US gallon.
Even so, 3.785 X $2.18 is still $8.25.
Lucky I walk to work now!

Kennymo, are you serious? Bloody revolutions have been started for smaller reasons!

Monstermkr:

I don't drive quite as far as you (about 30 mi one way), but the thing I'm *really* happy about is missing the big O while I'm at it. ;)

BTW this weekend gas jumped up to $3.30 around here. How depressing!

Jo

Snake,

I am fully qualified to handle an Amtrak train. ALL ABOARD!

Tony

Its just about 45 miles one way for me to work....almost all highway for me....then to make matters worst, I hit 2 tolls each way at .40 cents each....a buck sixty per day to pay for the Illinois tollway system, which if anyone has ever driven one of the many toll roads in Illinois, the roads are in awful condition, potholes that can swallow a car, OK maybe not that, but can really do a number on a rim.... and along with gas at 3.49 now a gallon...its a no win situation.....maybe it will get better......

Out...

B

"Kennymo, are you serious? Bloody revolutions have been started for smaller reasons!"

Come on now - why would anyone be revolted by me walking to work?

D'oh! Got me, KM.

I did look up UK gas taxes on Wikipedia and (assuming it's accurate) it claims you pay something like a 188% overall tax on gasoline. In other words, you pay nearly the same as the U.S., including our taxes... then more than double it again, using taxes alone.. Ouch!

Interesting reading.

RE: Tony driving the AMTrack....

Does this Amtrack your drivin, stop at all Webb shows? Iam on board, if not to save on gas...to see Webb.

Debb.

It's $3.12 here in Greenville, SC right now-who knows what it will be an hour from now.

Colin, you are more than welcome to move to the US. Gas will be cheaper for you and you can see more Webb shows!!

Debb, I am the conductor on this Amtrak excursion, so I say where we stop. We stop at all Webb shows. In fact, we transport the fellows to the venues, enjoy the music, load up the band and their belongings, and go on to the next place. It's a very important mission.
Susan

Now, that's my kind of excursion! All aboard!

Christina

$3.45 here in southern Ohio. I rode the motorcycle today. You'd think that'd be cheaper but it takes high test gas which is $3.65.

Now I ain't complainin' about gas prices in my Town but yesterday when I stopped at the gas station and asked for $5.00 worth of gas, the guy hiked his leg, f**ted and gave me a receipt!

I have heard that there is a station in Cal. near Big Sur that prides itself on the highest gas prices in the nation. Something like $5.299 a couple of weeks ago. It's probably a good thing they don't depend on me to keep in business. Yeesh!

Jo

Thanks for the invite Amy
will bring my 14 kids and 3 wives
hope you've got more than one bathroom!

Just kidding
I actually like where I stay (Dundee), and have some really solid friends. Tho it would be good to see WW once every 10 years

It just went to $3.49 here (Bowling Green, KY) today. I think that may be the highest I've ever seen here.

The gas in my old buick is worth more than the car...so much for the days of $5.00 for gas , a bucket of chicken and drinks for a low budget night of fun cruisin the town

Sounds like someone I saw the other day... told me he doubled the value of his car... I asked how... he said - "I filled it up with Gas" ....

Gas in the Chicago 'burbs hit an all time high...$3.68. Last night or shall I say early this morning on the way home from work @ 2:30 am, the sation near the house, $3.55 a gallon, less then 12 hours later, 1:00 this afternoon, on my way back to work up .13 cents.....

A station near O'hare was selling regular for $3.77 a gallon....Its going to a rough summer....

Just hang in there.....

Bruno

Re: Earlier post
April 12th it was $3.19. Today, April 19th, it's $3.33 give or take a cent or two depending on the station. I filled up in Excelsior Springs (because I held out until I was going there) at $3.29. Still painful.
