Although gas prices have come down, the prices still seem to fluctuate wildly. What are the current prices in your area for gas?

Posted by: elantragt Jan 9 2005, 04:32 PM

Right now in the Baltimore, Maryland area we're seeing prices of around $1.75 a gallon for regular 87 octane. I was recently in W. Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio and prices seemd a bit higher in those states.

Posted by: truantics Jan 27 2005, 01:29 PM

In the Springfield, MA area it's about $1.83 for regular 87.

A few weeks ago I was driving around and I found a place that was only $1.66 a gallon. I was so excited. Imagine getting excited over the price of gas? It's ridiculous.

I hate paying so much.

Posted by: tmant Jan 27 2005, 03:21 PM

Currently $1.74. And it was almost 20 cents cheaper about 2 weeks ago.

Looks like it will only go up now until summer.

Posted by: nully Jan 27 2005, 03:59 PM

hey u guys got it good down there, here in canada for one gallon it costs 3.07 canadain.

Posted by: sizzski Jan 27 2005, 04:27 PM

I seems like the price is going up faster than I can type but as of 1/27 the price in the Ablany, NY area is about $1.91.

Posted by: Grayin Jan 27 2005, 04:34 PM

Around $1.89 a gallon down here in north Florida on 1/27/05

Posted by: Natef53 Jan 27 2005, 06:10 PM

Wow sizzki, Im up here in Saratoga Springs Price is about the same though $1.91 is actually lower then it has been.

Posted by: sizzski Jan 27 2005, 06:31 PM

Cool a local ...To everyone else...I know in the Capital District Area the is a big price difference from one block to the next. You all might want to check this sight out www.gasbuddy.com. It will show you your area highest and lowest gas prices in your zip code, even Canada

Posted by: southpawboston Jan 27 2005, 08:18 PM

gas is about $1.80 here in boston where i am 95% of the time, and about $2.05 in upstate NY (catskill area), where i get away the remaining 5% of the time!

Posted by: hickie13 Jan 29 2005, 02:21 PM

Its about $1.90 in Northern Illinois currently.

Kind of nice, my father owns a few convenience stores - so I always get the inside news on when fuel is about go up. (not to mention a slight discount when I go and visit) It's really amazing though how LITTLE profit fuel stations make on a gallon of gas.

Posted by: jyfgt Jan 29 2005, 04:12 PM

prices are about 1.80 here in phoenix if anybody cares

Posted by: stauf Jan 30 2005, 02:30 AM

I paid $2.20 today in Pacific Beach before I headed home.. Ouch! Prices here near home are around $2.00-2.20.. Long live SoCal! hahahaha

Posted by: KANDBSDAD Jan 30 2005, 02:58 AM

Riverside, CA - Costco $1.89/Gal is lowest anywhere I've seen around.

Like stauf said everywhere else is over $2.

Posted by: southpawboston Jan 30 2005, 08:17 AM

hey stauf, is that PB in san diego or is there another PB in socal???

Posted by: snova44 Jan 30 2005, 02:35 PM

yesterday it was $1.84/gal. at quick trip for 87 oct. regular. I am suprised it is this much. Around Atlanta it is usually cheaper than most parts of the co
untry.


I was able to buy at costco for $1.72!!!!!!

Posted by: stauf Jan 31 2005, 12:28 AM

PB is short for Pacific Beach (obvious i know, but thought I'd clarify). Yep, it's in San Diego.. About 15-20min North of downtown I guess.. Only drove down that far once.. Too crazy! lol

Posted by: gpagpa Jan 31 2005, 02:53 PM

In the Cincinnati area, yesterday I paid $2.04 for plus from Speedway, but in northeast OH, I saw it was $1.80. Its the same old story, when OPEC says they will not increase output the price climbs and stations have their finger on the increase button faster than you can blink, even though the gas they have in their underground tanks are at a lower price, but when oil decreases, they are slow as mud in cutting. Sound familiar to banks and their rates, huh, whatever favors the bank they are quick to act and anything that favors the customer, its not a priority to change. Post #2, whoo feels good to get back in the saddle.

Posted by: Gomez Jan 31 2005, 05:14 PM

Everyone says gas is so expensive in California, but I just saw the movie "Sideways" and the characters are in the California wine country, two hours north of LA, and in one scene you see the price of gas being $1.71. Is there really a $.50 north of LA? Here in NY you gas is probably around $2.00 or $2.05 in NYC and it's around $1.95 an hour outside the city. What's the deal?

p.s. - "Sideways" was probably filmed anywhere from a year to 18 months ago and I really don't see a reason why they would change the price just for the film. Is the story supposed to take place in the mid-90s?

Posted by: stauf Jan 31 2005, 06:13 PM

Sideways was I thought a very good film. It showcased some of the best parts of CA. Wine Country! Yes, gas is a lil cheaper up there vs. down here, but I think the main thing is realizing that it was filmed over a year ago. The film was set it in present day.

It's funny, you start here and gas is high, drive south a twidge and it's a lil cheaper, then gets more pricey. Drive north and it gets cheaper, then further north and it's pricey again.. Then again, just driving around here you can find a 20 cent difference in price. It's still pricey tho.. I'm just glad I got 35mpg on the trip, and can get around 24mpg in town.. =)

Posted by: ronc12 Jan 31 2005, 07:08 PM

In the Tampa Bay area it's $1.80 at Sam's Club, up to $1.90 most other stations.

Posted by: stauf Feb 1 2005, 04:03 PM

$1.9999 at the 'cheap' Shell station.. Damn thing still took nearly $24..

Posted by: MattCXX Feb 3 2005, 01:08 PM

$1.899 at most places around the Greater Pittsburgh area.
I use my Giant Eagle advantage card to gain .10 or .20cents off per gallon, depending on how much I spend in the grocery store.

Regular unleaded is inching close to $2 a gallon again in the 'burbs of Central Maryland.

Posted by: stauf Feb 21 2005, 08:09 PM

Close to $2? Welcome to LA.. Home of $2.15 for regular....

I am glad at least now that instead of visiting them twice weekly, I go over a week between fillups now.. Greedy bastards get less of my money these days!

Posted by: tmant Feb 22 2005, 12:33 AM

My Krogers just dropped down to 1.69 with card, but Citgo just opened and is selling for 1.64.

Posted by: tmant Mar 5 2005, 12:23 AM

I heard this Friday on the radio that gas prices were going to go up some 20+ cents per gallon. Not sure over what time, but I did see a jump of 7 cents. I suspect the prices will go up some more in the short future and you may want to fill up now before it does.

My cheap stations I go to went up by 2 cents. Just filled up at $1.71.

Posted by: ScottyMac223 Mar 5 2005, 09:26 PM

I read that same report online today ( except the one I read said $0.24 and by the end of next week)

And right now we are about $1.80 (Full serve, No Self-serve in NJ) for regular in So. Jersey.

Posted by: jh0n Mar 5 2005, 10:25 PM

93 cents per LITRE here in australia, premium is a dollar and beyond. Ppl in the southern states of australia will tell you higher prices

Posted by: cclngthr Mar 6 2005, 01:23 AM

That is high!!. When gas is $2.00 a gallon here, I stop driving as much (I'm figuring $.93 L is about $3.52 a gallon).

Posted by: LJWcrash Mar 6 2005, 10:12 AM

Here in SW PA, self serve regular unleaded is $1.96, at least for today. Of course, that includes the AUTOMATIC annual January 1 gasoline tax increase that our wonderful state wrote into law some years ago. Doesn't need a yearly vote by the legislature, no action by the governor required, it just happens. They say it is to improve the condition of the roads. Yeah...

Posted by: Gelicious Mar 6 2005, 04:11 PM

As of 3-6-05 our cheapest gas in town ARCO (ethanol loaded! ewww) is 2.09 a gallon. and for Cheveron and 76 Fuel its 2.11 for 87 octane.

Ohh also Oregon is a state that DOES NOT let you pump your own gas. so they charge an extra tax on for that. IT SUCKS! I hate not pumping my own gas!

Call me nutz but for peice of mind i only put plus or premi in my ride. I know im crazy but I love knowing i got good fuel from Cheveron or 76.

Posted by: da1tank Mar 18 2005, 10:20 PM

in the tidewater area (newport news, hampton, etc.) prices can range from $1.84/gal to $2.01/gal for regular self-serve.

Posted by: bikedad Mar 18 2005, 11:16 PM

It's $2.30 here in Southern Wisconsin. For crappy reformulated

Posted by: tmant Mar 19 2005, 12:49 AM

Local Exxon has jumped up to $1.99 while I fueled up at $1.89 with Kroger card across the street. Prices are probably going to go up again, so fill up! But I guess that almost goes without saying. It's just going to keep shooting up til late fall, right!?

Posted by: stauf Mar 19 2005, 02:29 AM

Average here $2.35 now with one station in Malibu wanting $3.05 for mid grade! News didn't say was 87 was, but bet it's $2.85 at least...

Posted by: sizzski Mar 19 2005, 07:07 AM

Our price range in upstate NY is from $2.10 - $2.19 and going up.

Posted by: 04GTboyVA Mar 19 2005, 08:39 AM

eeeps i went out last nite and the gas has jumped to 2.03 for regular just the other day it was still 1.75 here

Posted by: ronc12 Mar 19 2005, 08:56 AM

It's running about $2.00-$2.06 for regular around here. I got 28mpg on the last tank, that helps. Imagine what people spend on gas that drive the guzzlers.

Posted by: gonzo777 Mar 19 2005, 11:33 AM

Last I saw it's about $2.20 for regular here

Posted by: Gomez Mar 19 2005, 11:38 AM

Near my house the price is $2.17 for regular which means in NYC it's probably in the neighborhood of $2.30 or even $2.40, it's a good thing I go to school in Jersey, I filled up this morning at $1.89 - WOOHOO!

Posted by: dcdye Mar 19 2005, 01:09 PM

It is $2.01 for regular ($2.21 for super, which I use) but it is much less on the Naval base. I get super for $2.03, one of the perks of being in the Military.

yea its about the same up here in woodbridge

Posted by: JPJR Mar 19 2005, 10:23 PM

Just paid $2.35 over here for 87 octane(regular). It has been going up almost daily

Posted by: hickie13 Mar 19 2005, 10:41 PM

Damn, $2.35 huh.... Its probably around that downtown Chicago. Here in the Chicago burbs though its climbing steadily, currently at $2.21, depending on what county your in.

2 weeks ago it was only $1.79 here and now its $2.07. Isn't it odd that prices always jump in the summer when more gas is used because its so nice out.

Posted by: Gelicious Apr 12 2005, 06:30 PM

new update. Fuel is now 2.65 for 87 here in oregon. also we cant pump our own gas =( so im sure ours is taxed to high hell

Posted by: Devin Apr 13 2005, 11:15 AM

Just wanted to add that I paid 2.67 for 87 last night in Agoura, CA (a suburb in northern Los Angeles county) and I even had to pump it myself unlike Oregonians. I was rather horrified watching the counter go up and paying $10 for less than 4 gallons. Thank god my GT does 31MPG (according to the trip computer right now).

Posted by: ElantraFX Apr 18 2005, 02:02 AM

Well i just updated my fuel economy spreadsheet to the joy that is the impreial system.
Here are some figures in both imperial and metric, based on running 91 RON (87 octane AFAIK) petrol, i used to run 98 RON, but noticed no significant improvement so i stopped. anyway
Metric/AUs dollar:
Cost/Litre: $1.01
Avg economy: 9.4 l/100km
Best economy: 6.7
Rated economy: 8.1L/100km

Imperial/US dollar.
Cost /gallon:$2.94
Avg MPG:23.9
Best MPG:34.9
Rated MPG: 25 city, 33 highway

so yeah um u guys are paying alot less for petrol than us, damn the australian government and its stupid fuel taxes.

Posted by: TGartnale Apr 18 2005, 04:53 PM

Did you know that the imperial measurement system is diffrent than that of the US measurement system? A quart is not a quart but not a litre either. Why doesn't the whole world just go metric? Up here we have a half and half measurement system - imperial and metric. We buy a litre of gas, but build our homes with 2x4's ( which aren't 2x4 at all) Arrrrrrggggh

Posted by: xweston Apr 18 2005, 05:13 PM

I paid 2.69 for 87 yesterday in San Diego.

Posted by: elantragt Apr 18 2005, 06:24 PM

I saw something really odd at a gas station in Columbia MD. This place was charging $2.43 a gallon for all three octane ratings!

Posted by: Devin Apr 18 2005, 06:25 PM

YES! METRIC! Why do we all have these silly differences in our measuring systems. Everything should be metric. It's so much more efficient and easy to understand that way.

Posted by: bakaboy101 Apr 18 2005, 11:55 PM

2.89 for 91 octane

>,<``

i can't stand it!!

Posted by: mydartswinger May 6 2005, 12:25 AM

In Fairbanks, Alaska at the grocery store gas stations(before store discount card), the prices are $2.23 for 87 octane. I've seen as high as $2.31 at other local gas stations. Discount cards at the local stores give a $0.03/Gal. discount, so it works out to about $2.20/Gal. 87 octane. Sad thing is, the Alaska oil pipeline runs just outside of town.

Posted by: elantragt May 7 2005, 08:05 PM

Getting about $2.05 for 87 octane in my neighborhood in Baltimore County, MD. I was driving in nearby Carroll County and gas prices were as low as $1.95 for regular last night. I never thought I'd say $1.95 a gallon was cheap but I was shocked at that price.

Posted by: Lethal Injection May 7 2005, 09:45 PM

Rockford, IL was down to $1.97 a few days ago, but it was $2.05 when I filled up today. Better than it was, but still pretty ridiculas compared to 5 years ago when it was $1.05 for 93 octane.

Posted by: 2Fast2Furious May 7 2005, 10:54 PM

Here in Oregon, prices are ridicules. Currently $2.46 in most areas for regular. Though not the highest in the country, it would be nice not to get ripped off on at least one thing.

Posted by: dcdye May 8 2005, 09:08 PM

Just for something different, the cheap gas in Thailand is 18.16 Baht per liter, and the hi-test stuff is running about 22.21 Baht per liter. There are about 38 Baht to the Dollar. Hey I'm stuck in Thailand, what else can I put in here.

Posted by: stauf May 8 2005, 11:34 PM

I'd suggest gettin yer ass back stateside.. LoL

The cheapest Arco here runs 2.4199 now... When I left it was almost 2.60... I wont be happy until its back to 1.25 where it should be.

Posted by: Gelicious May 9 2005, 11:02 AM

Yeah here in Bend, Oregon its 4.51 for arco regular.

Remember 2fast in oregon we cant pump our own gas so its taxed like 30 cents to pay the employees. I hate it! I would rather pump my own gas anyday!!!!

Posted by: PJB May 9 2005, 05:23 PM

$2.179 is the cheapest here

Posted by: Nitro-Cro May 10 2005, 08:24 AM

1l of gas = 7.20kn
1$ = 5.71kn

1gallon [US, liquid] = 3.8l = 27.36kn = 4.79$

So, guys, you've got cheap gas...
Here in Croatia i have to pay 4.79$ for a gallon of gas.
And the quality is not good. Not good at all...

Well, just to compare, in Slovenia (the border is just 10km from my home) you can get a gallon for 4.1$ and the quality is a lot better...

Posted by: bakaboy101 May 14 2005, 02:22 PM

40 bucks from dead empty... the joys of high test..

Posted by: ADSisson May 31 2005, 09:02 AM

In the Rochester, NY Metro (7 county) area.
Regular US$2.25
Mid-Grade US$2.35
Supreme US$2.45

The Holiday Weekend having just passed us, prices may go up as more ppl
take to the roads.

We normally fill-up when we get to 3/4 empty and pay betwee US$20 and US$21.


That's TOO much for me. It may also be due to Summer Blend gas.

Posted by: Figjam74 Jul 18 2005, 09:08 AM

In my area, it ranges from .919 to .969 / Litre
If my math is all good, that's between $2.85 and $3.00 US/Gallon

It was seventy-something. Swear to god. Out in Agoura. Granted it was only a brief stint of seventy cent gas, but it was still under a dollar for quite awhile out here.

Posted by: elantraelite Aug 3 2005, 07:01 PM

Consider that cheap!

Downunder we're talking $1.28 a Litre = .26 of a gallon

Although this is for PULP

Posted by: Tmoney04GLS Aug 8 2005, 12:02 AM

i found gas at a chevron for 2.09 but everything else around here is 2.29-2.35 the chevron is kinda tucked away so not many people know about it.

Posted by: thunderabeGLS Aug 9 2005, 03:54 PM

I paid 2.16 the last time I put gas.

It is current 2.25 at that same station.

I use http://www.houstongasprices.com to find the cheapest prices.

The site is very useful and it was a FUEL LOGBOOK.

They are link to other cities as well if you want to check it out.

Posted by: hickie13 Aug 9 2005, 04:46 PM

Well, during my commute this morning in ChicagoLand - I saw a 2.73 a gal for regular 87 octane. BOOOOoooooooooooooooooo

Posted by: redgtxdi Aug 9 2005, 06:37 PM

How 'bout $2.46 at COSTCO!!!!!!!!!! That's THE cheapest!! Period!!

So Cal's gettin' crazy!!

In fact...........if it weren't for gas prices.......to be honest........I probably wouldn't even be at this forum pondering buying an Elantra every other day!!

The highest gas gets.........the higher the probability I'm drivin' off the lot with one is!!!!!!!!!

No bull!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Posted by: skduffy Aug 9 2005, 06:50 PM

I just filled up today north of Albany, NY 2.39 here

Posted by: shaman Aug 10 2005, 08:46 AM

118 a liter, or about $4.02 a gallon

Posted by: redgtxdi Aug 10 2005, 10:27 AM

OK...............prices just went up AGAIN!!!!!!

The local *cheap* ARCO had their regular at $2.59 still, BUT..........their DIESEL #2 was .................

$3.18 / gal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daggummit! Anybody remember when you were supposed to buy a diesel 'cuz it was cheaper?? Sheesh!!!

Anyway...............I also saw a normally *high* Mobil that has their regular listed at...............$2.79!!!!

Forget a 3rd car, I'm damn near ready to go pick up a new bicycle!!!!

I hate to say this folks.........but we've still got what, 3 weeks 'til Labor Day weekend???

I'd be very surprised if some 3.xx's don't show up by then. I think the new *floor* for gas prices is gonna be $2.50!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: princessa Aug 11 2005, 02:56 PM

I heard on the news today that gas was going to be WAYover 3.00 a gal before summer is over

Posted by: redgtxdi Aug 12 2005, 01:00 PM

Here's what I'm wondering......................(and I think it's at least a glimmer of hope)......................

Take a look at all the new vehicles coming up...............EVERYTHING's gettin' bigger..........

Toyota FJ cruiser (Hummer knockoff)
Suburban
Tahoe
etc.etc.

Sure, some of them are incorporating limited-cylinder technology, but I can't see how that's gonna make a Suburban get anything over 20mpg (and I seriously doubt that even!!)

So......what are the automakers gonna do when Americans leave ALL of those vehicles on their dealer's lots 'cuz they don't want to buy 'em????

My "glimmer of hope" part comes in here where at least all the automakers will be in the same boat as us auto *owners* 'cuz what are we all gonna do together to get thru this crap????

Example...........when I was at the Toyota dealership (and I think we can agree Toyota knows how to make quality engines), the Tacomas were far & few in between........(especially 4 cylinders!!!!!).........but the Tundras were ALL OVER the lot!!!

Is this a sign of things to come??? What about the Santa Fe??? That things a bit of a gas hog already. Oh, and the XG350 is going away for that new full-size.

Are automakers gonna go bankrupt with this gas crap?????????????

Posted by: Bobzilla Aug 12 2005, 01:10 PM

Even with gas prices high, americans are still buying bigger and bigger. They wouldn't make it if it wasn't going to sell. People will just be bitchin' a little more and you'll see more threads like this:

Hello all, I have a 1999 F350 V10, lifted with 44's and 5.12 gears and am only getting 4 mpg. How can I get better.

Posted by: cardassian-cruiser Aug 15 2005, 08:12 PM

In TO area i paid $1.02 liter this morning
($3.86 US gallon)

I coasted home, real slow, today.

Posted by: Bobzilla Aug 15 2005, 08:30 PM

As for the cheaper diesel . . . . .

In the old days before emissions came in and bit everyone in the but diesel fuel was made from the waste cast of in the production of gasoline. Someone( Ferdinand Diesel? Have to check up on that) Came up with an engine to use that fuel. Hence the compression engine. Well, the EPA stepped in about 5 years ago and determined that we should use a different blend and make them low sulphur which meant more work has to be done to refine the new fuels. Is it worth the extra money? Probably not but it sure gives them a good excuse to charge more.

As for the "Displacement on Demand" with GM the new Impala SS with the 5.3L 303hp V8 gets better highway economy than the 3.9L V6 at 29mpg. Considering the size and weight of that car and it gets within 3-4mpg of our elantras witht 303 hp is amazing.

Posted by: mtlelantra Aug 16 2005, 10:44 AM

$1.144 CDN a litre here, works out to between $3.50-3.60 a gallon USD.
Oh how nice it would be to pay 80 cents a litre CDN ($2.5/gal USD)... we poor folk haven't seen 80 cents a litre in a few years...

Posted by: remfan Aug 21 2005, 12:38 PM

In the Bay Area, I'm seeing prices from 2.69 to 2.99 for regular. Eeeesh.

Posted by: cclngthr Aug 21 2005, 12:45 PM

I paid $2.51 a gallon a couple days ago.

This is getting insane. I let my car sit and use my power chair to get around now. All I do is plug that in each night to charge it up. I am considering a CNG kit for my car.

On the news this morning was a guy that converted his truck to run on wood smoke. Beats buying gas.

Posted by: Devin Aug 21 2005, 12:52 PM

That'd be a cool mod. My grandfather had a CNG car once and really enjoyed it, except for the lack of filling stations. He also really liked his propane Cadillac. He's always into the new technologies, although surprisingly he hasn't bought a hybrid. Yet.

There's a gas station in the next town over from mine that's $3.09 for regular. My parents have been avoiding driving their Jag like the plague because it guzzles premium and that costs us $3.05 at the cheapest place around.

Posted by: elantragt Aug 21 2005, 12:57 PM

In my area regular is in the $2.68 range. I was out in Columbia MD the other day and they were getting $2.79 for regular.

Posted by: skduffy Sep 2 2005, 05:23 AM

Clifton Park, NY -- last night filled the wifes car at, I believe, the only gas station clinging to 2.999. I'm sure its over $3 now though. $37 and neither of us own (S)tupid (U)seless (V)ehicles. This is just rediculous.

I filled up the Elantra on Tuesday and only half a tank is left.

Colin :It has been steadily dropping here for three weeks went below 2.00 last week today a few stations are at 1.91. Those stations are nearby as I'm just a few miles from three big major truck stops that are usually the lowest in the Oklahoma City area. The 7-11 chain actually started these drops several weeks and started an unofficial gas war of sorts.Jerry

Posted by: Vampyrate Mar 20 2006, 01:14 AM

this is something that was waiting on... every spring/summer since i have been driving, i have noticed this trend in seasonal flucuations. because the weather is warmer, more people with convertibles and motorcycles are out just driving for the shear hell of it and not having any real destination, pretty much wasting gas. and since its spring break and coming up on summer vacations, all those people with RVs, SUVs, and Trucks and fairly larger more guzzling vehicles, gas consumption is up and the oil companies are trying to make up for whatever "profit" they may have lost during the winter (though they make close to like 100 billion a year regardless.

Posted by: popeye Mar 20 2006, 01:22 AM

The oil cabal wants to makes as much off us consumers before the bottom drops out (...peak oil), so get used to higher prices. Fluctuations will happen and seemingly the price may drop with the season but the overall picture is one of increase without end. Note to self: invest in energy funds for the short-mid term...

Problem is is in extraction. You've plenty of oil per se, but so much of it is in sand and shale and of lower quality that the cost to extract exceeds that of the middle east and other trad oil fields.

Posted by: Ishtar Mar 20 2006, 04:14 PM

well. Except maybe some oil workers and some bugs.

Posted by: popeye Mar 20 2006, 04:33 PM

What Peter Noone dies because of oil extraction?

No, but your land dies and possibly indirectly it could be argued do you.

At any rate, the costs associated in sand extraction are of a much higher net loss than are those associated with traditional fields. Imagine giant craters in the ground and huge ass earth moving equipment charging up and down the Canadian wilderness and then the loverly 'repairs' to the damage. Something to consider regardless of the current situation in the middle east.

Oh the human costs, those are the responsibility of the despots involved (of which Bush could be considered in some circles) and they don't see these losses, hell they don't care if your son/daughter/brother/sister/father/mother is killed either it seems, as long as the resistance is crushed!

Finally starting to level out here, thank god. The station by work has been $2.89 for regular 87 octane for about a week. Most expensive has been at $3.19 regular for about the same.

Posted by: Babyhyundai05 May 7 2006, 11:48 PM

$2.79 Baby!

Posted by: popeye May 7 2006, 11:51 PM

Level out ppfffttt, it rose here a bit more! Oil dropped like what $5 bucks and they're still working us over.

Gouging, we're not gouging no we're ripping ya a brand new one!

$3.41 at the same station...

Posted by: ElantraGuy19 May 8 2006, 12:27 AM

Did you know that most of the oil that is the gasoline in our tanks was pumped from the ground over 30 years ago? So why jack up the price on a 30-year old product? Why pay more for something we paid for a long #$*% time ago.

But anyway...it's one of the reasons I'm looking at the Elantra. The 14.5-gallon tank is a great money saver. I would have looked at the Accent but (1) it wasn't available in a hatchback and (2) NO CRUISE CONTROL!

Posted by: MrGisriel Jul 6 2006, 12:27 PM

Every station here is $2.65...but if you go about 35 miles away to corpus christie it is prob about 10-15 cents lower...jst for laughs..the highest gas price in the U.S is $4.04 in Kailua Kona, HI and the lowest gas price in the U.S is $2.18 in Clinton, SC

Your example is not really what I would consider apples to apples. I visit Europe regularly on business. Yes you are correct by stating the per litre price is higher in the UK than in the States,... but I must point out that I typically see the grades of Petro in Europe are higher. For example, in the Netherlands the minimum octane rating is 91, were as in the USA we are gypped with a minimum of octane rating of 87, (darn tree-huggers).

Now, you take the US dollar price of "Super Premium", which technically would be the equivalent, and do the Imperial verses Metric conversions, then do the currency conversions, (1 Euro = 1.27189 USD), the prices are almost the same.

And since we are all car nuts, we all understand the efficiency and performance that goes along with those 2 numbers.
---------
This morning by my house, fuel was at $3.08 per regular 87 octane gallon.

The only time I am really excited that I own an EGT is when I drive by a gas station.

Posted by: elantragt Jul 6 2006, 03:16 PM

Topping out at about $3.08 around here (Baltimore County, MD) for regular.

We just hit $3.04/gal for regular here in Madison, WI.

Posted by: Doohickie Jul 6 2006, 10:19 PM

I paid $2.739 per gallon this afternoon while filling up my wife's Taurus, but that was with $.10 per gallon discount with $100 of groceries at Kroger. So, the going price around here is a little over $2.80/gal for regular.

I'm glad I've started getting better mileage; since I got the car my average has been 26.5 mpg, and my normal commute is typically a little worse than that, but lately I've been getting 28-29 mpg in mixed driving (AT). I hope the car is finally broken in and this trend will continue!

$1.08 a liter for the cheapest I can find.

Posted by: elantraelite Jul 8 2006, 03:31 AM

Currently $4.12 USD a gallon or $1.09 USD a litre

Not cool!

My Elantra seems to mostly hang around the 8.1 - 8.8 litres per 100km combine with city and highway driving. Average 8.4 litres or 28mpg

A full highway cycle I get down to as little as 6.4 litre per 100km or 36.7mpg

Posted by: Yellow_Elantra Jul 8 2006, 06:53 AM

Hey dean, is that a standars gallon? or US Gallon?

How are you converting your numbers?

I tried with these two sites and am getting different numbers

The cheapest I have seen in Vegas is 2.81, but most places are still 2.85-2.90.

Posted by: cclngthr Aug 30 2006, 05:52 PM

Ouch.

I was there in 93 and it was about 4 bucks back then. Spent a year there. Gas in my area is 2.79-3.05 depending on where you go.

Posted by: Goldenguy Aug 30 2006, 07:30 PM

I'm about to go down to the BP tomorrow and get some 87 for $2.55/gal if it's still that cheap. Then pick up an OEM filter and replace my oil. That crap's around 4700 miles old now - well under factory requirements but well beyond my liking! Most of it is highway miles though..

Posted by: Bobzilla Sep 11 2006, 12:20 PM

$2.29 a the overpriced truck stop. I'm guessing Sams' should be around $2.20.

Posted by: smp85 Sep 11 2006, 01:05 PM

for long island, 2.69 isnt bad...i was up there around farmingdale and paid 3.10 over the summer, i was extremely pissed. but here in sw VA, we have some of the cheapest in the country right now, even makes home (NJ) seem expensive and we have some of the cheapest there too...

i just hope we see under 2 bucks again, looking pretty good right now.

just filled up today for 2.10/gal...nice.

Posted by: cclngthr Sep 14 2006, 07:47 PM

Heard on TV that gas *could* drop to 1.50. This depends on if the current market selloff continues. Apparently the oil spike was from buyers getting into it created a glut and they are seeing no reason to keep the stocks.

Posted by: ZOO_YORKER06 Sep 14 2006, 08:14 PM

$2.47 here.

Cheapest here today is 2.03 .

Posted by: southpawboston Sep 14 2006, 10:39 PM

hmm... i thought it was because of the upcoming mid-term elections, what with the oil execs all wanting to keep a GOP-controlled senate. it will be interesting to see if the prices go straight up again after november...

that said, today the cheapest gas i saw was $2.43.

Posted by: Vampyrate Sep 14 2006, 10:55 PM

as of 20mins ago: 2.33/gal

as of yesterday: 2.41/gal

i love living in SWeVA!

Posted by: citking Sep 15 2006, 02:01 PM

Agreed. In mid November something will come out and say that home heating oil costs are increasing (or something) because of a colder-than-expected winter, even if it's normal climate-wise.

$2.53 here still, but WI has one of the highest gas taxes in the states.

Posted by: thunderabeGLS Sep 15 2006, 02:09 PM

cheapest pump in houston is $2.07

there is a gas station about 20 miles from me that is at $1.99 but i won't count it since i wouldn't drive to it to fill up.

2.65 is the lowest I have seen it all week(or past 3 months) But in most neighborhoods its about $2.69/gal.

Im jealous of alot of you! I drive for a living and for pleasure so I end up about 200 miles a day, 7 days a week. Thank god most of that is in my 88 Accord for work. I hate driving my GT for work, I'm too worried about the smell of catering bags and spilling.
