#2688 of 8799 $2.69 by litesong1 Sep 30, 2005 (2:50 pm)
In Monroe, Wa ARCO sells for $2.69. I have 2 hi-mileage cars. Listening to TV reports about rising or dropping gas price stories, I try to use one car as a reserve to time whether I should fuel up or not. I seldom guess right. I think the TV stories are floated by the gas companies to get people to pay the most on any particular day.

State College, PA at $2.79
#2690 of 8799 Opposite here... by ateixeira Oct 01, 2005 (3:45 pm)
Up a dime. Weird.   Oil barrels are down, so we should see prices drop again soon.   -juice
#2691 of 8799 Oh oh! by lemko Oct 03, 2005 (5:05 am)
Slight Rita effect here. Gasoline is up 3 at the Sunoco at Verree and Rhawn in NE Philly. Regular is $2.849, Mid-grade is $2.949, and Super is $3.049. Curiously, Ultra 94 is only up one cent to $3.129.
#2692 of 8799 We're higher than Philly and Chicago - unfair! by 210delray Oct 03, 2005 (5:27 am)
Lowest prices in central VA are $2.999 for 87 with the usual 10-cent spread for the higher grades.   I topped up both vehicles before Rita and am hoping to ride out the panic again (as for Katrina), but I heard that 20% of refinery capacity is out for now.
#2693 of 8799 rural VA by ateixeira Oct 03, 2005 (6:25 pm)
We took a road trip in rural VA this weekend, and it was very strange. In some remote places, where you'd expect gas to be a heck of a lot cheaper than in the city, it actually cost more. I saw some places with gas for $3.30.   I used to go to places like that and find gas for significantly less, not more. Odd.   Ended up getting gas on my way back, when I was already in Reston, VA. Saved a bunch, too!   -juice
#2694 of 8799 Thready pricing again by pf_flyer HOST Oct 04, 2005 (3:35 am)
Price seems to be not so stable here and jittering a little again. $2.79 is the high, but most places were flipping back to $2.75 yesterday
#2695 of 8799 I don't understand.... by bottgers Oct 04, 2005 (4:09 am)
.....why prices have jumped again. The reports I heard were that Rita caused little if any damage to refineries. If anything, prices should be dropping. I can hear the excuses now; "we were expecting higher prices due to damage from Rita, but when the damage didn't occure, we had to make up for the expected higher prices we didn't get." When the oil industry runs out of ligitimate reasons for price gouging, they make up reasons.
#2696 of 8799 How is it the "oil industry"? by pf_flyer HOST Oct 04, 2005 (4:27 am)
I'm as frustrated as anyone with the way prices are determined, but the offices of the oil companies are not where the prices are set. The futures market is the place where these prices are being set. That seems to be the place where reasons are being found to run up prices. And it's been a while since anything but raw emotion has had an effect on the price.
#2697 of 8799 Prices in the Philly suburbs... by lemko Oct 04, 2005 (4:44 am)
...are at least 10 cents higher than the city. Curiously, South Philly prices are greater than the Northeast.
