LeviF Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Cash? Nope. It's a Gulf just south of Thruway exit 23, on 9W. It's always cheaper than anywhere else.
LewPort71 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Gas prices have actually dropped in S WV. Was at $3.79,,,,dropped to $3.75. still tooooooooooooo high
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) Okay... Hear me out... If you can stand it! What was the highest price over 4 years ago? I understand all the complaining because it is gas and we "burn" it. I said the same thing 5 years ago. Are people's personal finances really that close that they can't absorb 20-40 dollars a fill up per vehicle, per week or so? Considering all the other garbage that people throw money away on... Sure gas is NOT what I want to spend it on, but it is a necessary evil. Gas enables me to get to work. Even if one has a bank note on a vehicle... Even from 5 years ago when gas prices went through the roof... Shouldn't they be getting off of that note by now? If people are really approaching a financial threshold @ 4, 5 (okay... I can see 6) bucks a gallon: 1. Shouldn't they hold on to the same vehicle for 10-15 years and make it worth every penny by maintaining it properly WHILE saving the money spent on a what would be a new car loan. Any new found disposable income (once they get off of said loan) should go towards future transportation costs. 2. Move closer to their work. 3. Drive a vehicle that sips gas. There are plenty of cheaper and OLDER vehicles that get great gas milelage. Even if it is a $10,000 car that gets you over "hump." Almost all modern cars last well past the intial car loan periods. 4. Stop spending on other discretionary items. Like internet and TV! Just don't 86 the cell phone yet... In case your beater breaks down on you! Basically I wasn't complaining then and not really complaining now... Just groaning... I am driving the same vehicles that I had 6 years ago and will be for a considerable amount of time into the furture!

Simon Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 $4.08 here on Key West. Go shovel your driveways, suckas! ----------) ::::::::::::::::::::::
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Haven't shoveled ALL WINTER! It is almost 70 degrees and will be all week... Who's the suckas?
Captain Hindsight Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Saw 3.95 this morning, been holding steady there near poughkeepsie
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Here up to $4.09. I think a year ago last May, prices around here spiked over 4 bucks. What is the issue... Again, cars should last 10-15 years.

Bufcomments Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 I personally don't recall seeing gas prices rise so much so quickly. We have some gas stations in Los Angeles closing in on $5.30/gallon regular unleaded. Top that. I hope we dont top that. I thinking about public transportation already. In the 716 its 4.10
shrader Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 My station has gone down 2 cents each of the last two days, down to $3.85. Has anyone else seen the price going down in recent days? This place confuses me a bit because everything else seems to be somewhere in the $3.90s, including one about a mile and a half down the same street that was at $3.99 last night.
Just Jack Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Has anyone else seen the price going down in recent days? The one closest to me went down 2 cents yesterday.
GoodBye Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 My station has gone down 2 cents each of the last two days, down to $3.85. Has anyone else seen the price going down in recent days?

Nope, the one I drive by every day has been $4.19 for the past 2 weeks or so.
