Update.....April 22 in Eastern CT is at $4.18/gal for 87 octane with 10% ethanol additive.

8 days and 14 cents increase.  At this rate, it don't look good....

Add another 6 cents.  $4.24 after four days....still ain't gonna buy a Prius..or a Volt or a Hybrid...

I finally gassed up today. It was $4.09 but I got $.10 off with my Kroger card. 15 gallons for $60 even. I knew I should have stopped for gas last week but I waited until I was down to half a tank. I think it went up 30 cents in a week.

Frank,

Does Meijer give discounts anymore?  Been a long time since I heard the Kroger reference.

We get some discounts from our local chain too but it doesn't make much difference.  I can drive five miles into RI and save 20 to 30 cents a gallon.  I haven't actually bought gas locally for some time now as I find myself in MA or RI when I need gas.

I don't know if Meijer has discounts or not. They aren't on my side of town so I never go there. At Kroger you have to buy $100 (or 150?) in groceries in a month to get 10 cents off, otherwise it's just 3 cents. I'm not ready to trade in my gas guzzler for a hybrid either.

Same here, 100 bucks gets you 10 cents of Shell gas which happens to be some of the priciest fuel around.  I figure I spend 100 bucks a week on food (beer doesn't count  :P) so I'm looking at 40 cents a month.  I fill up my truck with 13-14 gallons so I save the discounts till I have about a dollar off before I use them.

One way or another they're gonna get you.  For me, the market is also one of the pricier to shop at in the area.

Absolutely, Rastus.

I was reading an article about this the other day. The last time gas was $3.60+ per gallon, oil was around $145 per barrel. ...............................................*As a side note, I did also hear a local area report that gas demand had dropped 25% in our area over last years numbers. With the trickle down, and increase of prices for everything else related to fuel prices, we're seeing a lot less RV's, boats, and ATV's being towed compared to this time last year.........looks like folks in my neck of the woods have been squeezed to squealin'.

I have slowed down from my normal speeds and added mpg.  These prices suck and this last run up falls squarely on the back of Obama and Secretary Clinton not providing leadership.  If Colonel Mommar Ghadafi (sp, I know) was to be punished it should have been quite some time ago.  He complied to a number of demands since his terrorist actions so now the world sees us as someone who demands compliance and then punishes anyone who falls in line on a whim.  Leaders could have prevented the foreign intrusion into Libya's business and this entire mess would have been over by now and prices down. 


Of course, we are so consistent we stuck our nose in Libya's business so why not Syria now, or Iran, etc....same situations...what gives?  I really think Europe was pissing down both legs worried about refugees and offending their mooslim populations...in our Administration's thinking...who knows...looks like they want to expand islamo-terrorists in plain site.

Energy provides productivity....the world is on an oil based economy...like it or not.  Oil is the foundation for modern economy....as an energy source nothing else has the impact at the low price (relative low price) plus portability and safety of use.  Sure I like hydro, etc...cheap power...it's not portable nor available to a lot of places....NOW THINK....biggest economy in the world....economic foundation is oil (energy) and if you poison the well what happens?    It is not untoward to open one's mind to the possibility that these senseless forays are more than just incompetency.  The random acts of stupidity exhibited by the Adminstration are the result of intelligent people's decisions...again, it is not untoward that "stupidity" is not being used as a camoflauge for cold, calculated decisions.  A "coup de grace" is too readily apparent, it's the death by a housand cuts that goes unnoticed by the sheeple.

Haz told me about a gas station down the street from his place with gas at $3.75/gallon.  I felt like I was in the catbird seat when I filled up there.  $22.50 got me 6 gallons. 

Whoopie! 

Keeping my foot of the go pedal gets me 18-per and not driving to places I would normally go saves me some more.  I haven't been to Deer Hunter Guns in 6 weeks... And they have free pizza every Friday.  Still, I can't justify making the trip. 

This mess has GOT to be hurting retailers.  Just read that WalMart is complaining that their customers are simply running out of money.

But, I guess it doesn't impact Odamna...  His golf cart is electric.

Our local station peaked at about $4.32 back in May.  Yesterday it was down to $3.84, a good direction but I don't think we'll see the $2.00 gas we had before.

Still hurts but seven or eight bucks a tank full is noticeable.
