Gas pains...

[Darth Paris]

Where's that from?

[BJ_M]

Canadian dollars, eh? They just reported on the news that the price will indeed go up again tomorrow. It's a good thing we hadn't planned to travel as this is a big holiday weekend in the US (Labor Day - unlike most of the rest of the world, it's not celebrated in May)....

it is labour day here also -- but those prices are not from canada (which is about $1.10 - 1.20 a liter or ~$3.60-$3.75 US) ..

US NEWS and World Reports images is where that pic is from - but no idea where it is ...


1 USD = $1.19 CND

$3.19 on Wed. 8/31/05 about 4:30 pm.

Big panic around these parts about gas shortage from Katrina. About six or more stations around my place are out of go juice. I had to wait behind six cars at the thrid station I tried, and the pumps were running slowwww. Probably one of the last to get gas at that place.

The expensive places around here are asking 2.899 for gas. I forgot to check at places where I would actually buy gas though (much lower). I'm also guessing that my gas doesn't come from the Gulf of Mexico. It probably comes from refineries in the Philadelphia area (Delaware, NJ, etc.)

That's what happens when people panic.

I think it is from BP station in Stockbridge, Ga., Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2005.

[Darth Paris]

Even though I live just down the street, if gas does break $4.00 here then I'm going to start taking the bus to school or start charging the people I take.

[Noahtuck]

$t's gonna cost me $10.00 to mow my damn lawn!!!!

Try using one of these instead:

You could not pay me enough to do my yard with one of those!!!
I'd be out there for days!!!
Takes me almost 2 hours now with a rider doing 80% of my yard!!

And i heard it was $6.00 a gallon in georgia also..
Thank god it's stayed at 3.20 a gallon for regular here the last 2 days now!!
gonna wait and see what happens tomorrow, but i saw it was as much as 3.58 in diff areas of michigan, but still pretty low compared to alot of places i have seen.

Stockbridge is south of Atlanta - it's hardly a high-rent kind of place. I'd be shocked if it was really from there. I work in a call center and asked a caller from LA how much gas was today. He said around $2.89, which is what it was today in Jacksonville. While I suppose it's not impossible, I'd be surprised if gas was that much more in GA than in LA. It's more likely that the prices are $2.87, $2.97 and $3.07....

[lordsmurf]

$2.99

[shelbyGT]

3.05 to 3.15 for regular gas here in Kansas City metro area, depending on where you go.

And KC made national news last night talking about gas prices! We rule!

For one thing, it's fairly light, so pushing it around is going to be much easier than pushing around any gas or electric powered lawn mower. Plus it's good exercies. It won't take you two days! My lawn is 14' wide, and I have to keep making turns. you should be able to mow long stretches at a reasonably pace. Really. Too bad you don't live close enough to me to borrow it and try it out.

I dunno, from the sound of it, he seems to have a much bigger yard than 14' wide. I mean 2 hours on a ridding lawn mower for 80% ???
Noahtuck, what the heck do you have for a lawn? a football stadium??? :P :P

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Wow!! i read that and thought, my driveway is prob. 14' wide... took the tape measure outside and measured it and it's actually 17' wide!!

Yeah, i'm thinking he missed that part
Pretty close!! my front yard is pretty bug but my backyard is F'n huge!!! all fenced in with cyclone fence, everyone always say's it must be great to have a backyard that big... and i say, yeah, it looks nice until you have to mow the damn thing every week!!!!!
Actually i have one of those little distance measuring devices (can't recall the name) that has the wheels on it and you walk with it and it tells you how many feet you have walked, i used it years ago to measure my property but i cant recall the exact dimensions but maybe i'll have to check it tomorrow.

When I lived in San Francisco, there were ads in the paper for someone who had a herd of pygmy goats who'd bring them around to eat up the brush surrounding homes on hillsides, where regular yard tractors, etc., couldn't reach....

[brand x]

In East TX. average price for diesel is $2.80 gal.

[hudsonf]

The cheapest gas in my area in N.J. today at 11:30am was $3.29. On Wednesday morning it was $2.47.

Stations in the Atlanta region were charging as much as $5 a gallon, and one station in Stockbridge, Ga. was charging customers $5.87 a gallon. That led Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue to sign an order putting the state's price-gouging statute into play Thursday.

I knew there was something fishy about that sign....

We all need to get one of these:

149.9 a liter here in canada right now.

149.9 a liter here in canada right now.

Depends on where... Vancouver has a low of about $1.01, here in Calgary is low about $1.06 and Newfoundland is high about $1.55. Quite a difference place to place...

[Doramius]

$3.20 in Las Vegas. There are some places where it's $2.98, but you're waiting in line for about 30 min. I find it funny that people will sit in there idling car for that long with the A/C going.

[shelbyGT]

Am I the only one that finds it strange that oil prices are back to pre-Katrina prices and yet the price of GAS is not? Hmm....


I think now that they have us accustumed to higher gas prices, they aren't going to go down! MORE MONEY FOR THEM!

Your right should have said where..LOL.......Halifax.

[JohnnyCNote]

Regular was down to $2.92 today at one station near home. The other day it was at $3.09....

[Doramius]

The price per gallon actually never changed from barrel production at oil companies. The only change was less production for a few days. The increase in price was only by the Gas companies to "lower demand"?
