Just filled the Sequoia at Shell in town. $2.75 for RUG. Diesel at that Shell station is $2.49 today. One Shell station we passed was $2.99 and 9/10ths. $3 gas is back in San Diego. Costco was too far out of the way. Not sure the price there. Probably $2.65 today.
 
This ought to help the recession along.

I would bet your Total Cost Per mile will be a heck of a lot less than any stinking hybrid. It pays to keep the old car running as LONG as possible. Especially with the newer cars designed to disintegrate in 7.25 years.

Another price jump by jae5

to $2.80 on average for 87 octane. A couple of Citgos are holding at $2.69 for 87 octane. So we're pretty much $3 for premium. Can't find older records, but am wondering when the last time pump prices were at these levels:
 
What was crude going for?
What was the demand / supply?
What excuses were being used for the price jumps / hikes?

I paid just over 3 for premium yesterday. I only needed 5 gallons though, so not bad.
 
Supply and demand relates to gas prices like the tooth fairy relates to dental work.

I have a friend who takes the cost per mile to extremes. Of course he is in a state where he has to pay property tax on the car every year so his method really makes sense. He buys a cheap but dependable used car and drives it forever. Has a old Volvo 850 that he paid maybe $3,500 for. He's put on 110K himself and it hasn't taken major repair. His cost of ownership is minuscule.
