$4 here during a "slow recovery and low demand" and an "energy boom"

glassdave 04-23-2014 10:28 PM

3.56 to 3.80 here . . . . . . for now :rolleyes:

Wildman_grafix 04-23-2014 10:29 PM

Premium is running around 4.19 to 4.37 here.

jeff32 04-23-2014 10:32 PM

I did not mention it but it is for regular cheap gas.... i guess I don't want to know what premium is up to... !!!

$3.91 here in CT. Nothing to see here, more market profiteering at our expense. Bend over.

Quinlan 04-24-2014 06:59 AM

$3.99 for 91 NON Ethol here. Where you can find it

offshoredrillin 04-24-2014 07:26 AM

it was only 1.78 in Jan of 2009... :rolleyes:

Give Russia a call they have plenty to sell!!!!:bsflag:

inspector747 04-24-2014 07:39 AM

I've seen a small hike around my area as well $3.95 Reg to $4.15 Sup.... On an added note here is a small article about summer blend vs winter blend

We're also approaching the May 1 deadline for U.S. refineries to switch over from winter blends to summer blends of gasoline. AAA notes conventional summer-blend gas contains 1.7 percent more energy than the winter versions, which might also account for why your gas mileage seems better in the summer. But it also notes that those summer blends are "more expensive to produce, and that cost is passed on to the motorist."

I myself try and stick with pure gas even though it's more expensive ($0.25 - $.035 more a gallon)

it jumped 12 cents over night at the station here by work!!

abmotorman 04-24-2014 09:02 AM

After taking the road trip to Florida last week I noticed the "cheap gas" was in Tennessee???? Not sure why that is though. I paid $3.44 a gallon. Kentucky seemed to be .10 more. It wasn't till I hit Illinois did i see almost 4 bucks. Sooooooo it's more expensive to formulate the "summer gas" in the midwest? Even Florida was cheaper.

92nsx 04-24-2014 09:09 AM

$3.49 here

Usually it drops when they change to summer blend...but not by much

It is Ethanol free and I have seen better gas mileage but yes it's more expensive, read multiple articles that it is far better for your vehicle than ethanol gas.... Here is a link to Ethanol Free gas

At these $$ we'll just be spending more time in the Viper and the Hydrostream this summer, instead of the 388! :(

spectras only 04-24-2014 12:13 PM

The way gas prices are going for years it's no surprise recreational activities will suffer. RV's will park instead of moving, boat manufacturing stay stagnant, people float more and more.My son and friends grew up boating with me and have fond memories but they all say they won't be buying boats any time soon because of the operating costs involved.Can't blame them. They rather spend their money on cars that can be enjoyed on short trips, hanging around local events, spending much less on fuel compared to boats, motorhomes, traveling trailers.
Like Dean Ferry, I'll spend more time driving my Viper around with friends and their high performance cars, visiting great places in a 60 mile radius.
Regular is 151.7c per liter this morning. Premium is 167.9 c , yikes!

KevD815 04-24-2014 12:25 PM

I think we're in the $3.80's here in CT for regular. What pisses me off is that diesel is $4.30-4.40!! I remember a time when diesel was cheaper than gas...

A number of my buddies are doing the jet ski thing this year. I think 6 or 7 guys i know are parking the boats and bought skis. Just a little easier on fuel and towing and they can still get to the islands and coves where the parties are. I'm probably going to spend a little more time on the motorcycle myself...

OPS VZLA 04-24-2014 12:39 PM

Here in Venezuela I fill up my Camry for $.010USD the full tank, 10cents including the tips for the gas station guy.

You don't have to rub it in that we're raped over here,LOL. I wouldn't go to Venezuela right now just for cheap gas if you know what I mean.

KEVLARKAT32 04-24-2014 09:14 PM

I want to add , as a high performance boater for 35 years its over after we leave the hobby ...... There was a time not long ago when a guy with a decent job could afford to purchase / maintain / fuel , those days are over exept for a few of us . WE ARE A DYING BREED !!!!!!!!!!!.............

Yoda_Man 04-24-2014 10:41 PM

its been a few years around 6bucks a gallon. it just means for me i plan my trips a bit more and make a weekend out of it rather than just an afternoon trip

Griff 04-25-2014 01:05 AM

We are at $3.37 for E10 and about $3.55 for regular 87 oct. Prices actaully dropped about a dime here today.

dammmagnum 04-25-2014 05:17 PM

the cheap price for Texaco premium out here in the San Francisco East Bay Area, is $4.45/gal and $4;40 if you use a debt card. Regular is about 15 cents cheaper.. This the lowest prices around here,,, in SF is even higher.

Thank you
Jim
