My GF just called and said it went up $.07 since she left for work this morning.
I was watching the news on the hurricane this morning before leaving for work and the analyst or whatever said to expect gas to go up like $.30 a gallon because of the disruption caused by the hurricane. Which is pretty weak if true seeing as all our gas is refined with 50 miles of Seattle.

Try running a business that requires you to drive, but doesn't allow for the cost of gas to be passed on to the customer......It really sucks

I did.....one of the best decisions I've made. My Saturn gets 38-40 mpg on the highway (if i keep it under 75). Also things rarley break on it so I don't have to work on it very often....not to mention I paid the exact same amount for it as I paid for my POS (but fun) old Chevy.

As of 3:20 am Tuesday it was still $2.749 for 87 octane here in central WI. but I'm sure we'll see $3 a gal before this weekend if it hasn't already happened.
The price of gas has made getting grass eaters to look extremely cheap right now considering I mow a little over 3 acres.

i don't drive by any gas stations going to school but my grandpa said it went up $.24 here in central oklahoma, my moms suburban has a 42 gallon tank, if it goes to $3 a gallon, that will be over $120 to fill it up, she gassed it up before it went up, and i gassed my dads truck up, but i didn't fill mine up

When is this going to stop!?!? Guess I should have traded the old car in on a Cobalt instead of a used Z28.

$2.47 here, but it still costs me $85 to fill the dual tanks. since my 88 was wrecked i've had to drive the big block to work a couple of days (42 miles one way ) talk about getting old real quick . when my check comes in next week for my truck it's gonna be rice finding time for a DD. it's costing me $22 per day to go to work and back .
