Kevin Shasteen Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 My dad, who works for J.B.Hunt called late last night regarding an dept. email to all their OTR Truckers telling them to Fill up as often as possible...effective immediately. I guess this is regarding the War on Terror and escalating gas prices that would result; which implies what-that prices are about to go up(?). Anyway, I was curious what the National Gas Prices are and who pays the most. As of last night, as I didnt go into town today, our Super Unleaded was up to $1.78 a gallon at an Exxon Station. This price is .15c's more than last week. Kevin, (Yea,Still an Inliner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 'Premium' 91 here in the SF Bay Area is getting stupid expensive, over $1.90/gal. In MANY places here it is cresting $2.10 or MORE per gallon. Makes me sick. There is no genuine reason for it and last time I checked, we don't buy much petroleum from that guy we about to bomb...wait, maybe we do buy from Saddam according to this link posted elsewhere in the forum: Oily facts The Q45 is going to get sold by the end of the year..........no laments: more money for the 240Z Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR8ED Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 I win! Just worked it out. I'm paying .92 cents per litre here in the suburbs of Toronto..To the US crowd, that works out to paying $3.48 per US gallon for premium fuel. Not always great to win..

(last time i checked), and 1.98 for arco or some place like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 www.gaspricewatch.com I just payed $1.97 a gallon for 87, for the Z at a 76 station. Its as low as $1.85 if I buy MTBE crud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spdsk8r Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 I payed $1.98 per gallon for premium last night. That's in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Two weeks ago, at the same station, I paid $1.67 per gallon for premium. I run premium in my 360 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 1.55 here(Oxford,Al) for regular unleaded. I personally remember .50 a gallon. I was 7 and would walk to the gas station to get gas for the lawn mower and my mini bike. I really don`t think our gas prices are too out of line. When I graduated from HS, it was 1.06. A.50 jump in 17 yrs is not really that bad. my.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullbound Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 well, whatever it costs, you still have to buy it. if it's $5 a gallon, you'll still need it to get to work. i filled up monday at QT (usually one of the cheaper places) for $1.49 for regular unleaded per gallon. two weeks ago at my previous fillup, it was $1.32 at the same place. the southeast tends to have the best prices for gas, as far as i've been able to tell with travel for my job around the US.

ZROSSA Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 I guess fuel isnt as expensive as I thoght it was here. We pay $1.20 nzd per lt. $4.32 nzd per us gallon. This works out around $2.33 Usd per gallon. Still way to much. Douglas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Fuel ZX Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Over here it's $1.89 for premium unleaded. Why can't it go back to $0.25 ...i think that was the 60's...i wouldn't know, i wasn't born till the 80's. Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
