#8567 of 8805 Re: Another price jump [fintail] by jae5 Jun 04, 2009 (4:40 am)
Replying to: fintail (Jun 02, 2009 9:38 am) Our premium is now going for $3.10 in my neck of the woods - had another price jump yesterday - 87 octane is now average $2.86, with some already at $2.90. The city is much higher still. We've pretty much jumnped a dollar in the last month!!   I'm lucky my daily driver only needs and likes 87 octane. My Olds likes 89 but I fed it 87 last night.

Replying to: berri (Jun 02, 2009 4:11 pm) Agreed. It's all about their short, big gain - not thinking ahead of how this will effect everyone. We average, middle Americans get screwed coming and going. Maybe that's where the phrase originated - money guys sitting around at the club trying to figure out how to screw the little man. Then someone comes up with the scheme and says "With this, we can get them coming and going...muh-ha-ha-ha".

16 days = +60 cents. Crazy. The last time it went up that fast was Katrina.   Well, at least more people might start thinking AGAIN about fuel efficiency and buying a more efficient vehicle. Replies to this message: fintail (Jun 04, 2009 6:37 am)

Replying to: larsb (Jun 04, 2009 6:28 am) Was there a big change in supply or demand that we missed? Or some disaster that the news media didn't catch?   Or do some people just feel entitled to a bigger yacht? Hang em high...
#8571 of 8805 Good one here (central VA) by 210delray Jun 04, 2009 (9:12 am)
RUG at Sheetz increased from $2.39 to $2.45 yesterday. At the same time, diesel went up from $2.19 to the same $2.45. So much for the brief window when diesel was less than RUG.   I think the cheapest for RUG around here is about $2.39 today, and I've put off filling up any of my cars for the last couple of weeks ... not running on empty yet.   I've said it many times before: the only thing predicable about gas prices is that they are completely unpredictable.
#8572 of 8805 Up again? by lemko Jun 04, 2009 (11:52 am)
Fuel prices rose two cents since this morning at the Sunoco station on Rising Sun and Longshore in NE Philly. At 8 AM, RUG = $2.49, at 12:30 PM it's $2.51! Nuts!

Replying to: gagrice (Jun 01, 2009 8:57 pm) Oh my total cost per mile on that '67 Catalina is probably hideous, simply because it's more of a fair weather toy than daily driver material. It gets about 10 mpg in mostly local driving, although it has broken 17 on the highway.   Premium fuel is currently going for around $2.70 per gallon around here, so this thing would cost me 27 cents per mile just in fuel!   I've been keeping track of my 2000 Intrepid's expenses, and over the ~9.5 years and ~146,000 miles I've had it, it's come out to around 22 cents per mile, plus gas/insurance, for a total of around 34 cents per mile.   At the rate I drive these days though, just about any car is going to have a pretty bad cost per mile. Most of my driving is local, and any money that I put into repairs (or a car payment, if I had one) is going to get amortized over fairly few miles.   I probably drive about 600 miles per month right now. So if I were to get a new car, my cost per mile would be about 16.7 cents per mile, per $100 of car payment. PLUS gas, insurance, maintenance, repairs, etc. So you might be right after all... something like a Toyota Camry Hybrid might actually end up costing me a fortune, on a CPM basis!
#8574 of 8805 going up by gagrice Jun 04, 2009 (8:32 pm)
Cheapest gas I can find in San Diego is $2.73 at Costco. Most are $2.79 - $2.89 for RUG. Diesel is mostly $2.39 - $2.49. Guys that bought the Jetta TDIs below invoice when diesel was high are laughing all the way to the bank. Replies to this message: larsb (Jun 05, 2009 6:32 am)

Replying to: gagrice (Jun 04, 2009 8:32 pm) Gary says, "Guys that bought the Jetta TDIs below invoice when diesel was high are laughing all the way to the bank."   OK, that's the second time you said that. We get it.   Guys like me who bought a hybrid 5+ years ago have been laughing the whole time - even all those months when diesel was FAR higher than gasoline.   But just yesterday someone posted that diesel and gas were priced the SAME in his city.   So they might be laughing all the way to the bank, but disappointed in their balance when they get there.

Well, the know it alls who criticized Ford for switching truck plants to small cars will now shut up. And same ones who say 'Americans only want trucks'.
