LUTHERVILLE, Md. -- For a second time this month, contaminated gas bought in Baltimore County is being blamed for damaging dozens of cars. The problems were first reported at the Exxon station in Parkton last week, and the Oceanic gas station on York Road in Lutherville is currently experiencing a similar problem. Officials with Ocean Petroleum told 11 News the gas came from the Hess Corp. and damaged about a dozen vehicles Saturday night. In a statement to 11 News, Ocean Petroleum said, "The gasoline was loaded at the Hess oil terminal at Curtis Bay and then resold and delivered to Ocean Petroleum." Biglin said the gas station offered to get her car repaired and that Hess Corp. would foot the bill. Ocean Petroleum said the problem is water in the gas and that other Hess stations might be involved. "There are a number of other gas stations within the Baltimore area that have obtained fuel which was sourced from the Hess terminal that same day," Ocean Petroleum spokesman Ed Ellis said in a statement. |

Phoenix, very difficult to find RUG for less than $2.50 a gallon. Bring on the Volt !! Bring on the MiEV !! Bring on the Plug-Ins !! From a story in my local paper: NEW YORK - Retail gas prices climbed for the 50th straight day Wednesday, the longest streak in records dating to 1996, even as benchmark crude fell for the fourth day in a row. Historically, filling station prices tend to rise during the summer as millions of vacationing Americans pour onto the highways. But a surge in crude prices during the past few months and less production from the refiners that make gasoline has added even more pressure on prices.

| I filled up this morning at $2.69 and the Chevron was selling diesel for the same price. I guess it felt lonely being a dime cheaper than regular for a week there. | |

$2.49 for RUG, biodiesel, and E85, your choice, at the local Shell station. Never thought we'd get E85 in our neck of the woods, not that I can use it (or would want to) anyway. |

this morning I filled up my '67 Catalina with 93 octane at the local Shell. $2.919 per gallon. Last time I filled it up was back in April, when gas was $2.299. So, those prices are shooting up. But on a more positive note, I broke 10 mpg on that tank! |
