From 1.49 for regular (87) to $1.62 for premium (91 to 93) is the best I'm finding. Strange how one Shell station can charge $1.80 for premium when the guy across the street has his premium priced at $1.65

1.499 For 87
1.599 for 89
1.699 for 92
93 & higher is unavailable here, and I have no idea what diesel goes for.

Prices have been dropping for about the last two weeks. The politicians (Energy Secretary Richardson) have been ignoring this, while taking the credit for pressuring OPEC and talking about maybe seeing a decrease by late summer. Of course, Richardson probably doesn't gas up his government limo.


Anyway, here in Corpus


1.289 for unleaded down from peak of 1.469
Plus and Premium are 10 and 20 cents more.


Raceway (very competitive el cheapo) at the other end of town (20 mile drive) is 1.239 this morning.

I'm not sure why 93 isn't available here. I checked every filling station I could find looking for it for my Mercury, and my friend did the same for his turbocharged Saab, but nobody sells it. "Why" is one of those great unsolved questions of life.

Supposedly because the comments are "off topic"- they don't mention the price of gas. Plus, they don't want to be reprimanded by the hosts and have them switch this topic to another one that might talk about different octanes.

Yes, short off-topic exchanges are best done by hiding posts. Thank you for your consideration.

GAS OUT - Pass It On! by pschiffe

Do not buy any gasoline from APRIL 6, 2000 THROUGH APRIL 9, 2000. Buy what you need before the dates listed above, or after, but try not to buy any during the GAS OUT.


Last year on April 30, 1999, a gas out was staged across Canada and the U.S. to bring the price of gas down and it worked. It's time to do something about it again. This time, lets make it for three days instead of just one. The oil cartel cedided to slow production to drive up gasoline prices. Lets see how many American/Canadian perople we can get to ban together for a three day period in April, NOT TO BUT ANY GASOLINE, during those three days. LETS HAVE A GAS OUT.


If you want to help, just send this to everyone you know and ask them to do the same. We brought the prices down once before, and we can do it again! Come on North America lets stand together. WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

GAS OUT - It won't work by pjyoung

Besides, with recent news in the decrease in the barrel price of oil , gasoline prices will come down in a few weeks anyway...it won't have anything to do with any "GAS OUT". Just this past week, gas prices in my area dropped from $1.40 to $1.29. Besides, the oil companies will rake it in on April 5 and April 10, when all the "outers" are either topping off or filling up. Net effect - $0.00.


If you want a pretty good gauge of oil prices and future prices, just check on any airline stocks. when OPEC limits production, the stocks drop. When they recieve good news, the stock rises. Bear in mind that these stocks are looking forward to the next quarter or more. Lately, most airline stocks have been rising, even when Wall Street had it's rough couple of days.


Again, prices are heading down, and any decrease at the pumps will NOT be due to any gas out.
