Default 5.39 a gallon - in California!

Drove by this place last weekend. Couldn't believe my eyes... but not all that surprising.

Lot's of places in California are now selling premium well over $4.00 a gallon.

How much where you live?

I just filled up my tank in Coronado, CA at $4.05/gallon. I just pulled up my shorts, fastened my belt, and drove away whimpering...

$3.09 in Scottsdale yesterday...... But, considering what others are paying in California it seems like a deal.......I can't believe I just said that!

It's nice to see that they haven't raised their prices all that much.
I bought gas at that station about this time last year.
I'd love to buy some more there tomorrow.

In the Toronto area, we're paying $1.055 for a liter of Regular, which, taking the Can $ at par, equates to $4.00/US gallon. (3.79 liters in a US gallon) Sunoco 94 was at $1.165/liter or $4.41/US gallon. It sucks to be us!!! - Pat

Filled the Suburban up yesterday at $3.499 per gallon of 87 octane. Damn pump stopped at $75 on its own (used to stop at $100). I went inside to ask why and they said the credit card company had so many complaints from people that had a $100 hold on their cards when they didn't buy that much gas and their cards were so close to maxed out they are having a hard time!
The gas jocks also said that when the next barge arrives next week we will see over $4 per gallon!

I put Exxon Regular gas in one of my Work Vans tonight Thursday in TaxaJersey and paid $2.93 a gallon. Most stations are between that and 2.98. The same EXXon was getting around $3.40 a gallon for High Test. Our Property Taxes are the highest in the nation and we are taxed to death on everything else. Plenty of hidden taxes but the states tax on gasolene is much lower that most states. Probably won't be for very long since our TaxaJersey Governor Corsine has been talking about it already and wants to jack up the gas tax now also. You just can't win here anymore.

Varies from $3.09 to $3.15 for regular 87 octane, $3.26 to $3.38 for premium 93 octane here in the Charlotte NC area. $5.99 for 100 octane Union 76 gas!
Used to be a lot cheaper to cross over the line into S. Carolina but not so much now. I figured that I paid for my Costco membership by now since they are constantly .05 to .12 cheaper than the Citgo or Shell.
Filled up the work truck last night- $78
