#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'.

This helps confused consumers a little bit.   Why gas prices are going up Replies to this message: fintail (Jun 10, 2009 12:57 pm) imidazol97 (Jun 10, 2009 1:45 pm)

Replying to: larsb (Jun 10, 2009 12:51 pm) Supply and demand, of course!   Of course, oil is becoming ripe for speculation again as some fear the results of printing so much wallpaper fiat greenbacks. Safehaven and all that, but usage won't come into play.

Replying to: larsb (Jun 10, 2009 12:51 pm) consumer reports article: the person writing says oil supply is low. That's the opposite of what I've heard real experts in the field say. They say the reserves of fuel and oil are higher than they've been for a while because of lower demand.   Just another CR puff piece.
#8580 of 8805 Seabrook MD... by andre1969 Jun 10, 2009 (3:37 pm)
at the local Shell, 87 octane is running around $2.52, 93 is around $2.78.
#8581 of 8805 Central VA by 210delray Jun 10, 2009 (5:43 pm)
Relative bargain -- $2.38 for RUG at Hess. Prices overall have been stable for a week or so.   Gas Buddy shows Virginia and most of the South in the "green zone." OTOH, the Midwest is getting hammered, as is NY and CA (as usual). NJ is a safe haven, as always. Replies to this message: imidazol97 (Jun 10, 2009 5:53 pm)
