Replying to: fezo (Sep 12, 2008 7:32 am) Gas went from $3.59 on my way to work to $3.99 at lunch time at several of the local stations. Anyone under $3.99 had them lined up into the road. Crazy.

Replying to: lemmer (Sep 12, 2008 10:23 am) Haven't seen that gas shooting up here as of lunch time. We will see. Best thing people could do is cut down on driving for a week or so. If higher prices "due to hurricane" result in fewer miles driven the prices will come right back down. Time to put a stake through this vampire.

Topped off two tanks ahead of IKE. I should be good for a month. We had a 3.58 to 3.99 run up the day they pointed IKE at the Gulf.

Replying to: claires (Sep 09, 2008 8:44 pm) My most recent purchases and the fuel price at the time: 2007: '99 V6 ext cab Sonoma, gas was $3, gets 24 mpg combined. 2006: '98 V6 Mustang, gas was $2.70, gets 27 mpg combined 2004: '96 V6 Riviera, gas was $1.60, got 26.5 mpg combined, 31 on trip. 2001: '01 V8 4X4 4DR P/U, gas was $1.60, 15 city, 18.9 hwy. 1998: '98 Astro, gas was $.89, gets 18 mpg combined. With my driving spread across 5 vehicles, I won't be wearing any out, nor will swapping one out for a 30 mpg model save much off my $355 a month gas bill, so I am in pain but it could be worse. $5 gas could force me to make move. My first car I ever owned was a 3.8 L V6 that got 23 mpg back when it took 1/2 hr work to buy a gallon.
