He said the price of gas went up 20% there... it's now 6 cents US a gallon.

Paid $3.19 gallon at the 76 station in Redlands off of Ford street. That station is ALWAYS high (but convenient and next to the gym).
in hawaii...
--Huweeee! Gas prices just hit $3.09 in Honolulu. Military base prices are still at $2.75 for premium tho. Eek! We gotta bomb China to drop those damn gas prices.

Ouch!!!!
Yesterday I paid 3.14 .9 per/gal. at the Chevron just below Grapevine.
Had no choice, was below quarter-tank and wanted to get over the Tehachapis and SF Valley before getting back home in The Basin.

Driving out to Vegas this week I stopped in Baker (home of the worlds tallest thermometer!) and the AM/PM there was charging $3.45 for the good stuff!


No, I didn't get any

I lived in San Diego, CA in the very early '70s and paid .28/gallon for premium gasoline to put in my Fiat 124 sedan. That was a shocker after paying only .22 - .24/gallon for regular to put in my VW bug.
But the Fiat was a car that was great fun to drive, better ride, better handling, better preformance than the old VW. Four wheel disc brakes, 2-barrel Weber carb. Ahhhh, those were the days.
Now it is $2.799 or more for premium for my MCS. 10 times the cost of fuel, 10 times the preformance. Guess I can't complain. I just enjoy the drive too darn much.

Besides, as Tuls, said, You got to buy it anyway so whats the point?
It was still under $3 yesterday morning... haven't checked today, though!
I do know that I'm starting to think twice about motoring off to my favorite haunts... hmmm, 29 miles round trip, more than a gallon of gas... not sure if I want to go there that badly....
I haven't done that in a long time!

Last two tanks hurt...
I'm in CA, and two tanks ago, I had to fill up in the hills, $3.039/gal
Last tank, no choice, near SF Int Airport, $3.099! A $42.50 tankfull And that was after not stopping at a Shell at $3.199.
And that's for 91 Octane... Boo hoo.
In SJ, the low cost places are at or above $2.90. I think it will hit or go over $3 for me for a month or so, before the seasonal slowdown kicks in. If we switch gas formulations in Jan, that'll be good for a dime.
The Mustang (much thirstier) sits more.... And it's summer. Boo hoo!

I'm merging this (What are you paying for high test) with a similar thread.
When the full impact of Katrina is realized, I believe $3/gal. will look cheap.
